Happy Zaddy-versary. It's been 10 years since I chopped off my tetas & I don't regret it a single second. I even grew another pair of tetas 🤭😆. Conservatives & the central left will have you believe that trans ppl frequently regret transitioning, suffer severe mental health 1/
issues b/c we transition, & that detransitioning is commonplace. But it's all deceitful propaganda. I have never felt better, my mental health has improved dramatically over the last 10 yrs, & I feel more @ peace w/ myself, my gender, & how I chose 2 express my gender to others
Height lengthening
Here is a transformation of a young man in his 30’s who was 5'3". He underwent the Height Lengthening procedure on his femurs and his tibias in a staged fashion using the Stryde nail. He gained a grand total of 5.8 inches in his height! He now stands at 5'9"
Since some folx don't seem to comprehend the comparison, having "a small(er) jawline & then utilizing plastic surgery as means of widening or squaring your jaw, is quite literally a gender affirming surgery. & one that likely doesn't require a therapist to validate your gender 1/
Acknowledging that there's a possibility he may have had a condition that warranted said surgery. Nonetheless, even if it was not gender affirming, I'm sure he didn't experience much gatekeeping -like pre-approval from a therapist to validate necessity- for said surgery. 2/
Oh snap a hit tweet.
Well anywho, some of folks insist on being dense, sharing "articles" that lack any data to verify the claims those articles make. So I'm gonna bring my IG here because I'm terrible at🧵. Again you can find the full post.
Black gay cis men have failed the trans community.
Had to call out a Black gay cis man yesterday for saying "real girls & trannies." He caught an attitude & didn't acknowledge me after that. But it's 2023, you should know that tranny is a slur that only us trans people can use.
3/ trans surgeries are hard to come by to begin with. And now states are blatantly criminalizing gender affirming and living saving surgeries when..... Cis people have gender affirming surgeries everyday without anyone batting an eye.
1. Bottom surgery isn't the only gender affirming surgery y'all.
2. Cosmetic surgery that isn't done for medical purposes or life saving purposes is gender affirming.
The math just isn't mathing for me.
Especially when an alarming amount of these anti trans bills target youth. The majority of trans youth don't even have gender affirming surgeries before turning 18yo.

Transgender is not a gender, its a descriptor.
Please don't list transgender as a stand alone under gender pop down options.
It's trans woman, trans man, non binary, etc.
Do better.
Let me tell you the story of how I applied for a passport 9 weeks ago for the new gender neutral marker "X" and got one with the gender marker "M" instead.
Application is open!

If you're being vulnerable with a partner about making plans to/ wanting to see them, but they express that they are not in the physical or mental capacity to do anything, and ask to reschedule to make plans, it's 💯 ok to be disappointed. It's 💯 not ok to take it personally...
Not THIS being my first viral tweet. Of all things lol.
I mean, I'm glad many of you feel very impassioned by the national injustice currently directed towards the trans community.
Well, since this still popping off, allow me to re-introduce myself.

Thank you!
I'm aware, but that also kind of validates the point. Especially when trans surgeries photos are grouped together with that if cis gender ppl.
After 8/9 long years, Ky Peterson, a Black trans man jailed for defending himself against his rapist, is set to be released from prison this Monday! I'll be writing about it 4

there's a lot of talk these days about chosen family.

Ballroom IS the chosen family.

Yes, it says 10 ppl per week, but it also says "at least 10." For transparency, today I managed to send 16 people $500 dollars each via venmo & PayPal before reaching my weekly spending limit, and before being blocked on both PayPal & a 2ndd venmo. Will try again next wk.

There are entire threads on IG & twitter about this, and it's quite sad.
But even when women aren't terminally ill, men treat them horribly.
Por ejemplo, remember when a woman donated her kidney to save her BF and he left her after it was implanted?!??
I can't believe I'm defending Dylan Mulvaney, but.....lots of ppl come out (& at early ages) & end up going right back in the closet because our family/friends reject us, shame us, punish & embarrass us for being our honest, authentic selves.
This is Dylan Mulvaney a few years ago living as a MAN.
Dylan is now claiming he came out as TRANS age 4
Dylan is a Grifter and makes money by mocking women! 💵💸❌🙅🏻♀️
#dylanmulvaney
As a nonbinary person...I hate when ppl (especially other nonbinary folx) see a campaign inclusive of trans people AND then say "This isn't inclusive nonbinary ppl." It's extremely invalidating but furthermore...it reinforces the idea that nonbinary people must look androgynous.
Black trans people already knew JK's transphobia wasn't just about trans people. Is a person is transphobic, they're likely racist, misogynistic, and a a slew of other things.
Is there a thread of Black trans masc ppl's top surgery surgeons? B/c I just feel that's a resource we need. My surgeon did an epic job on me (he was surprised himself at the results), but I know he hasn't done a great job on other Black ppl. So.... we need a thread lol (+photos)
Things I've learned since my transition.
Men assuming u want them b/c you're being nice to them is not just a straight guy thing, it's a guy thing overall.
B/c why did some gay guy assume I was flirting w/ him just b/c I was nice a
& had a convo????
Nice =/= sexual attraction
Welcome to Brave Spaces epi. 1.
For Generations LGBTQ+ stories have been the target of censorship efforts. Did you know that early organizing against obscenity laws to make LGBTQIA+ stories accessible laid the foundation of the Queer Liberation Movement?
Shout-out to the agents I had the pleasure of speaking with today. They were all cheerful & very kind.
When the agent handling my app called his manager, he called me "he" but then stopped for 10 seconds & called me "they." It was actually a little funny to watch him process.
Me: B/c when I expedited it ovr the phone, the agent said it would be sent ovr from Arizona to CT.
What I don't get is, the US rolled out gndr marker X in May, last year. There are MILLIONS of US citizens, & thousands of non binary ppl, yet only 1 facility can print X on a PP??
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today we mourn the 331 women, men, and non-binary folx worldwide that have lost their lives for being trans.
#TDOR
TL:DR
1. Routine (regular) service for passport renewal requesting gender marker "X" is a little longer than the 6-9 weeks advertised on the US PP website.
2. Only 1 facility in the US has the technology to print X on passports (wtf) and it's in Arizona.

To get the gender marker "X" , you simply have to submit a passport renewal application by mail, select "X" , and then also check a box indicating that you're changing your gender on your PP. You don't need to submit proof of a change to gender on any other documents.
As of this minute, I've officially been diagnosed as

It's something I've known for a while but in a way, it's a relief to have confirmation in order to get the support I may need.
Happy Black History Month.

Why do I have to even out myself to validate my argument about why you shouldn't use that word?!?

Did you know that Two-Spirit is more than a gender identity, & it is exclusive to Indigenous peoples? It encompasses the distinct sexual, gender, & spiritual roles that existed in many Indigenous communities prior to colonization & continue to exist today.
This is also me at the airport LOL.
Just fyi, for anyone that has this issue, you can ask for a private screening.
Also -per a TSA agent- this shouldn't be happening as often as it does because dildos are VERY recognizable at this point, but some agent try to be funny.
Agent: So only 1 passport facility in the nation has the printing technology to print X on passports.
What??????
Agent: yes, I'm so sorry.
Me: Let me guess, it's the one in Arizona?
Agent: Yes, how do you know?
Me: Because....
A reminder that there are 2 black & trans members on the city council,
@andreaforward8
&
@CunninghamMPLS
, that voted to disband the Minneapolis police. This is significant.
Me cont'd: This isn't a pilot program! It's a full roll out.
Agent: Yes, I'm so, so sorry for that. We're giving you a temporary passport today, but you can change it to gender M instead. & you'll be able to send this 1 in again for free to get your correct gender marker.
Me:
Me: When I send it in again, I'll expedite it?
Agent: Wellll, it will still take 6-8 wks even if you expedite it, because the gender X marker is complicated & takes longer to process.
Me: 😳😳😳🙄
Agent: But my manager today waived your fee to expedite today's PP.
Me: 🫤.
Having thrown play parties in NYC, sex amongst non cis parties is way more diverse than what is portrayed in porn, even amongst more popular self recorded/OF" type of porn.

It wasn't just that she felt you were challenging her parenting skills, It was also because she felt you were challenging he authority. & for our parents, their authority rules over everything, even is means breaking down your self esteem or disrespecting you as a person 🙃
Today the tr*mp administration finalized a rule that would remove discrimination protections for LGBTQIA+ ppl when it comes to healthcare & health insurance.
This article I wrote years ago feel wildly relevant again:
I arrive. They inform me they think they can get me a passport today, but not with a gender marker X.
Me: Um why not?
Agent: Our facility printer doesn't have the capability to print X on a passport?
Me: How? Why??? I'm confused.
The agent called his supervisor to clarify.
I applied to routine (regular) service because my next trip was 9 weeks away, routine service takes 6-9 weeks, and my last passport arrived 5 weeks after I sent in my application.
But also like.... How are you gonna make a whole documentary about Black women's hair called "Good Hair," and then proceed to make fun of a Black woman's hair? Jada has openly spoken about having alopecia, but regardless, don't make a joke about Black women's hair.
3. Expediting over the phone doesn't work because it will only shave off at least 1 week since changing to gender marker X is considered more "complicated & takes longer to process"
4. Expediting via in person appts doesn't work because again, only 1 facility can print X on PP
Well, week 7 rolls around, & I check the status of my passport online. It simply says, "in process" with no additional information. I decide to call. The agent on the phone says he also is unable to provide any additional info. I ask if I can expedite it. I can't because my trip
Just spoke with another agent and they just said the wait time for a passport renewal WITHOUT any changes is 11+ weeks.
Lmao then why the hell does your website say 8-9weeks?
Chile.......
If I had known I was gonna be fine af, i would've transitioned way earlier.
It's not the physical change that makes you attractive, it's the level of confidence that being yourself outwardly finally brings out the FIONNNE fine.
So Tuesday rolls around, I call, they charge a fee to expedite & also provide the next in person appt availability to expedite my passport. First available appt is Jan 4th in New Hampshire! I live in fucking NYC. I have to fly/drive 2 get my passport that's been with u for 8 wks?

Was not within a 2 week window that would be considered an "emergency." That window would start for me the following Tuesday (it's Friday at this point & Monday was a federal holiday for Xmas.)
