the thing that always comes to me about the concept of Transtrending is … who even Cares? so what if someone turns out to be happier being cis after trying out different pronouns, different ways of thinking about them selfs or their genders? so what? who did they hurt? if a dfab person tries out they pronouns and asks for gender neutral terminology for a couple months and then says “hm, i think i am actually happiest with she pronouns, i am a cis girl” who did she hurt? she didnt hurt any one she just chilled in a different gender zone for a while.
and then what about someone who did try out different pronouns and then ended up saying “wow! this really works for me, i am so much happier with these new pronouns! i am trans!” ? they couldnt have learned that without experimenting
calling all gender exploration transtrending and acting like its some harmful or appropriative thing discourages people from exploring their genders, reinforces ideas about transness being immutable + A Condition, reinforces the idea of rigid gender roles (by saying like. people arent allowed to consider other genders for themselfs in a gentle way / arent allowed to express their gend differently) and makes it way harder to figure out trans stuff bye
One of the handful of cis people I actually trust completely to have my back on trans issues? She’s a cis woman who actually sat down, with a trans friend’s guidance, to interrogate her own gender and actively work out that she is, in fact, cis.
at a cultural level, giving people shit about changing their minds only harms trans people.
so does endlessly reinforcing an unbreachable division between trans and cis. all binaries are fake. nothing alive cares about “either/or.”
ever notice that the mean voice in ur head that insults u is awful confident for something thats literally never done anything in its life except be mean to you… like… one of us is pathetic and its not me buddy… get a hobby… yikes
Just wait until your order of 1,500 crickets eats through the box and ends up all over the delivery truck…
…go on
Basically I wasn’t home when they where dropped off, I think I had gone to get gas for the mower or food. I came home and found a large black trash bag on my front porch. It was what remained of my order, I’m guess there was less than 200 crickets. I of course contacted the place I had order them through and got a new shipment scheduled. Fast forward to the new shipment. I was home when the second one was delivered. The driver of course wasn’t happy still and had a million questions. They stopped asking questions once I told them that they had delivered multiple tarantulas and scorpions before this. Ultimately it was pretty anticlimactic minus the evil looks I got every time I got a package via USPS.
Hundreds of people packed an event tent at the massive World Ag Expo in Tulare, California, the heart of the state’s agriculture industry, to hear Perdue, Bachmann and Capitol Ministries’ founder and leader Ralph Drollinger. Tulare is a reliably Republican area of the state, now represented in the U.S. Congress by Rep. Devin Nunes, a local boy from a farm family. At the event, tables were sponsored by wealthy farming families and an array of agriculture-related businesses, along with Bank of America and local branches of Wells Fargo.
