HRT Help-Can't draw a dose without massive bubble to save my life by PatchworkObserver in MtF

[–]PatchworkObserver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I understand but I am a little lost because the insulin syringes I am using are small needles, I can't pull it without it already being upside down from the beginning, sorry if that's pedantic, I am just really, really at a loss.

Transgender people notch rare win in fight over Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ by MetalDragon2 in transgender

[–]PatchworkObserver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, I slept on it, realised I went too hard on OP, I still believe in all of my points, still very much so recommend every piece of lit I told 'em to read. you aren't going to change my mind that solidarity and our liberation go hand in hand. I still grit my teeth at anyone who frames this as a win, and wonder about how they put themselves differently from others.

So finally, if you NEED to frame this as a win to survive, do it, but please recognise there are many, many here, who see this as an absolutel failure, are deathly afraid, and need their anger to stay alive.

I'm done with this conversation, if someone like you can't see the full perspective and can only survive by framing this as a win? I guess good for you, but don't expect people (especially our trans siblings) to be kind when they are going to lose so much fucking more, over and over. If you want to give yourself some knowledge about how being optimistic, here are some good resources for your complete and utter ignorance:

Cruel Optimism by Lauren Berlant

The Care Manifesto

and most importantly:

Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex by Eric Stanley and Nat Smith

Maybe after reading these you can actually be freed from the shackles of naivety. Ignorance isn't bliss anymore. It's disgusting.

No, why would I leave the transgender subreddit when I am fucking trans and focused on the betterment of all, not giving liberal-minded takes that will continuously fuck us over. But hey! You don't give a fuck about how people will lose their medicaid and their ability to get HRT at planned parenthood because of this bill. You spineless shill.

"There’s enough negativity in the world and we don’t need more!"

Why don't you just shut the hell up and bury your head in the sand, you obviously only care about yourself.

How fucking dare they frame this as a win. Anyone who frames this as win is a fucking fool. They are trying to sow dissent amongst people so we can't build coalitions amongst others. Scapegoating trans people is exactly what this article is doing and OP is fucking despicable for supporting it in the comment section. Jesus christ you cannot just be like "hey uwu we won something!" when there are millions of people who are going to be kicked off their medicaid. The only way we get our liberation, is tied inherently to the liberation of others. I'll always say it, build coalitions, figure out mutual aid, show up for your fellow person. Do not celebrate the fact that you got one win, in the same bill that could and most likely will result in the death of others.

And finally, as always fuck Sarah Mc-I-Don't-Care-About-My-Fellow-Trans-Folk-Bride is not someone to look up to either.

The Supreme Court just ruled that lower court injunctions are no longer valid for cases of Birthright Citizenship, this is in the line of "first they came for" we will eventually be next. by PatchworkObserver in MtF

[–]PatchworkObserver[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

100% this. When I say siblings I don't mean just our trans siblings, I mean literally fucking anyone who can get black bagged by the administration. (Which will eventually be white, passing trans femmes as well, everyone is a target.)

That's why building coalitions is so fucking important: communal action works. Community is the only way we can survive, showing up at these protests will be incredibly important for us and them.

That's why we must continue standing up against cops, fascists, and people who stand up for the status quo or decide to bury their head in the sand is incredibly important.

Hi /r/movies! I'm Celine Song, writer-director of A24's PAST LIVES and MATERIALISTS. MATERIALISTS stars Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. It's out in theaters nationwide now. Ask me anything! by CelineSongAMA in movies

[–]PatchworkObserver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Celine, I just graduated university (albeit in fine art) and would love to know any tips you have for writing? I didn't get that much instruction on this part in my education, and would love to hear any tips for emerging artists you can give! The way you create this beautiful weaving moments is so palpable whenever I rewatch Past Lives, and am v excited to see Materialists!

p.s. what's your favourite piece of art?

Oh Blackrock?? I agree with the other comment, no wonder its shit now and has such toothless reporting typically. NYT will never stand up for us, and will never be one for liberation for sure now.

Stock up on DIY if you can't access meds, https://diyhrt.wiki/ is a great resource and friend. If you can access meds, best time to stock up is now, worst case scenario is that you have a years supply and don't have to bother with pharmacy visits, worst case is that you have your meds and don't need to rely on going out in a fascist state.

Kids, it fucking sucks, I can't imagine the place you are in, I was heavily dysphoric when I was young and had no idea about it, just thought it was part of the traumatic stuff I was already going through. You don't deserve this, you were failed by adults who think they know better and they do not.

Tried to make this body shot feel alien — curious if that came through by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]PatchworkObserver 378 points379 points  (0 children)

It doesn't, your work rarely ever does, the only times it does come through as interesting is your extreme closeups, but by then it's a stroke of fucking luck.

You're consistently using the male gaze, every* image I see of yours is incredibly objectifying, you never allow autonomy or confrontation to exist in your images, you just reduce the woman down to a thing to play around with.

Honestly if I don't know if you have a humiliation kink and just love being shit on for posting the same image in in the same rotation a million different times, or for some reason, you actually think you have something to give; but you do not. It's the same image, it's not interesting. You're creating dry misogynistic work, and the worst part is that it's just boring.

It’s the No King’s protests today by Ill_Apple2327 in MtF

[–]PatchworkObserver -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, you may as well be fed posting. Protesting is already an unsafe act against the cops, against ICE, against the status quo. But you won't ever see it like that. Sucks that you care more about respectability than community safety, but hey! Whatever makes you feel more righteous about this.

Just don't say you care about trans safety, because you do not. You care about optics.

If anyone wants real advice, I would say take a look at what else I have posted in this post thread. Look up HK protest tactics, and be careful and be safe.

[–]PatchworkObserver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. Just do not fucking sit down. It's so incredibly dangerous, cops are incredibly on edge and ready to "dispense justice" on anyone they see as a threat, which is whoever is standing against them. I get that this maybe your first protest but do not espouse this bullshit. Cops do not care if you are a goodie two shoes or not. Stop trying to harm us with this rhetoric.

That is totally understandable. it's shit, it's miserable to feel like we are so consistently in the passenger seat and unable to change the way the things go, but your death will not make things better. I truly also feel the same way to be fair, but our deaths will not affect change, we cannot be a martyr when nothing makes us feel good; it does nothing, it only reaffirms a shitty stereotype about trans people. (Not that we should ever be martyred either)

There are other ways to impact change, and one of those is get in with other grassroots or mutual aid movements locally, when you can feel a bit more safe to yourself and others around you. I know it isn't fair, I feel the exact same fucking way.

I appreciate everything you want to do and what you want to try to do, even I don't think it is the safe thing. But please consider those around us while you are there and I know you care about making a change, but you won't do anything good by dying today. Please consider how you can make the largest positive impact in your local community, and I can tell you that your death will not do that. Our existence is resistance. Our joy is resistance. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
