One thing that is kinda mixed is that Trans Pride and the Dyke March moved off the main streets so they wouldn't run into issues with the city requiring cops for permits. Obviously gently caress having cops anywhere near us but it also makes things less visible.

one time a pride event I attended in San Fran had a float for the 'Dykes on Bikes' chapter and as most of them were harley davidson riding types I would imagine more representation like theirs could help with policing such events in the future :kiddo:

Yeah, Trans Pride had some of them out protecting the street entrances to the park. On my way out I made sure to stop by and pay my respects by saying that I thought their bikes were really loving cool and thanking them for everything they do.

If I ever got one of my own it would be a sportbike kind but theirs were genuinely badass. One of them had this absolutely stunning Triumph. Having some dreams of a cool dyke (but I repeat myself) offering me a ride.

Gender? I hardly know'er
Hey wow; it turns out rightwing groups can just accuse anyone of being a groomer and genital mutilator with no proof or facts!

quote:

A Nebraska lawmaker filed a defamation lawsuit against a local far-right political action committee after members claimed she was grooming her transgender son.

The complaint was filed Wednesday in Douglas County District Court by the Nebraska Legal Action Fund on behalf of state Sen. Megan Hunt of Omaha, alleging that the Nebraska Freedom Coalition — including members Patrick Peterson, Robert Anthony and Malia Shirley — made “intentional, reckless, and knowingly false statements” about Hunt, claiming she sexually abused and groomed her 13-year-old son.
...
The coalition made such claims on Twitter after Hunt shared that her son was transgender during a contentious debate over a bill that will restrict access to gender-affirming care for individuals under 19. Since then, the coalition has repeatedly called Hunt a “groomer,” and posted photos of her child.

Following the initial post, the Nebraska Legal Action Fund requested the coalition retract its statements, but the coalition doubled down in a post that was still pinned on its Twitter page as of Wednesday.

Megan is slapping them back with a defamation suit and I hope she kicks these creep's asses into the ground.

idk if she'll get far with this because she's an elected official and the laws on defamation are different for them but best of luck to her.

a butthead who is dumb and mean in another thread that I don't want to further derail described transitioning as an unending nightmare and I wanted to come here and say not it isn't.

I am quite happy with my transition. I love my friends and partners. I love my community. I love being my authentic self even if someone looks at me and is aware that I am not a cis woman. Jerks and bigots do make things much more unpleasant than necessary and I had to move states and go through periods of homelessness but I made the right choice. If I met a future me who detransitioned, I would be disappointed.

Transition is a mixed bag for me- happy with myself, love the life I've built, love being in touch with my body, love queerness and the queer communities I've met and become part of.

On the other hand, the parade of (necessary) medical procedures was exhausting, painful, and ludicrously expensive, the alienation and hostility of cis folks in a deep red state was caustic to my sense of self until I found a more welcoming trans-positive environment to live in, and the continual effort by the state government to cast me as a pedophilic monster and encourage stochastic acts of terror against me and my family is probably going to turn me into a refugee again within the next year. I'm fed up with running.

For all that, I would never go back and I would do it all again. But it sucks to be trans, sometimes.

I was so alienated from my body that despite being relatively physically active, they thought that I might have had a stroke when I started physical therapy. and that's with like 2 years of doing mindfulness stuff, body scan meditation etc. prior to that. I was making pretty slow progress until I started HRT. Less than 2 months into it I'm doing better at some things than these jocky guys and wrapping it up.

e: last bit was a little extra. the point being that gendered structures such as in the right prefrontal cortex modulate all kinds of stuff like bodily sense integration and kinethetics, my brain didn't masculinize normally, and hormonal stuff contrary to those structures was loving things up regardless of how I felt about gender.

transitioning took me from constantly wanting to off myself to only sometimes wanting to off myself, then I got a good job and now I don't want to off myself at all. It's nice

so say for example i posts a snippet of the results from uh bdsmtest.org for example, for a laugh, and then a long time online buddy who is way out of my league kind of responds indirectly and says something like uh "I'm sad because i just learned <someone i'm interested in> says they've never <somethinged>, but if they ever want to... winky face."

i didn't think she was talking about me, but then i had a wine mom moment while taking a bath yesterday evening and got loosey goosey up on edibles and a valium i found and thought it would be a fine idea to take and post pix of my wrinkly nekkid flesh with amusing self-deprecating captions, but my online buddy reacted with less amusement and more, hmm, eager interest perhaps?

am i reading too much into this? is this just goofy flirting?

turning in my lurker card to also say that being trans owns and finally going through the process of transitioning after years of wanting to is the main thing that pulled me out of suicidal depression since preteens, which is something i never thought was possible after years of feeling that way. if i could wake up a cis woman at the cost of my trans experience, even with how hosed the world is, i'd still rather be a tranny since i could never give up the people i've met through my transition that i only met due to my transition, the joy that came with slowly building confidence, self-love, and happiness with my body after over a decade of hating everything about myself and never thinking such feelings were possible, or being able to see my wife go through the same journey and seeing how outwardly happier and comfortable with herself she's become due to it.
