Well, that is not the part they are leaping from. Trump and project 2025 are very clear about their desire to eliminate trans people. No stretches, leaps, or jumps. They are doing the Nazi shit right now. It’s a genocide.

It’s genocide: forcibly transferring children of one group (trans) into another (cis). And also adults under 21 because freedom!

It’s fucking sad that at the same time this is happening, the US is denying the genocide happening right now in Palestine. We are too busy trying not to acknowledge the genocidal actions of our ancestors that we are also not acknowledging the needless, indiscriminate death we are exporting to the world in various regions of the world today.

I feel for all my trans siblings stuck in these awful states. Also, fuck yeah South Africa!

What do you think the statement from the river to the sea means? It means that in all lands of current day Israel/Palestine, the Palestinian people should exist as first class, free citizens of the state. Not as second class citizens of an apartheid government.

It’s not calling for the genocide of Jews. It’s calling for the end of Israel’s brutal occupation and for the peaceful coexistence of all people, like they lived before the region was carved up by European colonial governments.

She only called for the end of the apartheid state that systematically tortures the Palestinians under its brutal occupation. She called for equal rights for all Palestinian people so that they are no longer second class citizens.

It was wrong when America, Britain, South Africa, and countless other colonialist countries did it in the past, and it is wrong for Israel to do it now. Apartheid is a disgusting system that brutalizes millions of innocent civilians. The average age in Gaza is like 19 years old. They are mostly children.

Do you condemn Israel for the murder of over 4000 children?

Oh it gets better, the dude who was the “architect” of the “legal” coup strategy just got elected Speaker! This is fine…

Very confusing lol.

Pleading and praying to god as an agnostic kid, begging to wake up as a girl. Rushing to the bathroom mirror in the morning and being heart broken when nothing changed. “Yup, these are cis thoughts that everybody has.”

Yeah, according to all the cis guys I’ve asked since I finally had the courage to face my transition, they are definitely not. They would not push a button or drink a potion to be a woman. “What? No, why would I ever want to do that? That sounds awful.”

Yeah, for real. I’ve actually worked with my new boss previously, so I’m happy with the change. Work was an insane level of stress that I won’t miss.

I’m mostly growing herbs, with a few pepper varieties and a few fruits like tomatoes, strawberries and blueberries. They are mostly for drying for use in cooking/baking, and also to use as ingredients for the water kefir my wife and I make.

I’m doing better than I was previously. Getting past some mental health hurdles, and I’m finally back to work. I start on a new team, with a new supervisor that won’t cruelly demean me in our 1 on 1s until I start crying 🙃 still struggling a bit and I messed up my back gardening over the weekend, so that doesn’t help.

My wife actually told me that this morning as well. Yeah, I’m gonna try channeling some of it hehe

I really liked Korra from the Legend of Korra (ATLA sequel.) She resonated with me, and her struggles and growth throughout the show was very meaningful to me because of my struggles with my trans identity.

I also looked over baby name lists when I was waffling on if I wanted to fully decide on Korra, and there I discovered the alternative spelling Cora. The heart/maiden meaning was more appealing to me, so I went with that. It really just felt right once I got over the initial weirdness of being called something that wasn’t my deadname.

Funny thing, before changing my name, I never met any other Cora’s. Now I’ve met quite a few in the rather short time period. I also love that you are picking a name that is more representative of your identity :)

Especially given the complete disregard for ethics by Thomas and Alito with their billionaire paid vacations. And Justice “I Like Beer” having his gambling debts mysteriously paid off by somebody while also having a shame investigation into credible sexual assault complaints. They should not be appointed for life and completely unaccountable to anybody. It’s just crazy how much our founders expected shit to just happen in good faith by all political actors.
