Probably Over A Year Ago I Had A Customer Come Into The Shop, A Man I'd Guess Probably 70-ish? And He

probably over a year ago I had a customer come into the shop, a man I'd guess probably 70-ish? And he hung around the till whilst I was dealing with another customer and then when I was done he handed me a bit of paper and on the paper it said 'books about crossdressing'

well, I did my best - he was obviously very nervous and I wanted to help him find something useful. Unfortunately there's not a lot of books about crossdressing - lots on trans stuff obviously! But I wasn't clear on whether he was thinking of transitioning and he was so nervous I didn't want to push him for any details. He ended up buying Eddie Izzard's biography and seemed pretty happy with that, but I never forgot it and I've always kept an eye out for those kind of books since.

Today he came back in, came round to the side of the till again, took out his phone and started showing me photos of himself wearing dresses, at which point I realised it was him. I nearly cried, it was so lovely! He still wanted books on crossdressing so I told him I'd do some more research & write him a list, but I'm hitting the same problem again - there's not a lot specifically about crossdressing. My colleague & I have made a list including books on drag, books on transitioning, books on women's fashion generally, but I am hoping despite my lack of reach on Tumblr I might be able to get recommendations from people with more knowledge than me. Please send me suggestions!

[ID: A Banner On The Health Disparities Among LGBQ Youth Government Website Saying "Any Information On

[ID: A banner on the Health Disparities Among LGBQ Youth government website saying "Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it." /END ID]

Hey tumblr.

As you may have heard the words trans and queer were completely erased from the fucking STONEWALL national Parks page on the US Government site. Yes, Stonewall, as in the one at the beginning of the LGBTQIA+ movement, in which many people whom are trans or would have been considered under the trans umbrella today were a HUGE part of of the beginning of the movement for. The one in which many of the people involved in use the word queer to describe themselves were involved. YEAH. THAT ONE.

So not to sugar coat it this is the most 1984 shit I’ve ever seen.

Hey Tumblr.

(Added highlights to some instances, but the whole page is like this)

However there is one small thing we can do.

form staying "was this helpful" with options for "yes or no" and a note stating "an official form of the United States government. provided by touchpoints" at the bottom which is a screen shot from the website

This is the contact form at the bottom of the page. You’ll notice it says it’s an official government form and you can state if something was helpful.

Listen I know this isn’t the sexiest or most helpful form of direct action but there is SOMETHING we can do, which is being really fucking annoying to them.

Much like we’ve been doing with Google and Apple Maps, we can use this form to state that this is fundamentally unhelpful, erasing a part of history, and to fucking put the T and Q back (also the IA+, but vitally those two given how obviously they were slashed from the text).

If nothing else we just fucking review bomb the shit out of this. Will it change anything? No, to be honest, but it will make their days a little harder snd while it might not bring direct change, being annoying WORKS. We already have democratic *and republican* senators who are now trying to do something about Musk now that they’ve gotten so many calls from us, and speaking on the fact they’ve gotten so many calls. We need to keep that energy. So fill out the survey, call your senators, and being fucking loud. At least have our dissent on the official record.

The owner and operator of the Stonewall Inn which is connected to national monument, has been loud about how heinous this is, and has been organizing protests in NYC. If you’re local to that area I’d recommend heading out that way https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/14/us/stonewall-monument-protest-nyc

Diary entry #3

Hoooooo boy I am shaking so bad. I generally have a level of "shake" that I usually have, always a little twitchy and I get terribly lightheaded, shaky, and have to sit so I don't fall whenever I stand up (usually if I do it quickly.) But like I'm shaking so hard that it's kinda hard to type. Why? My stomach hurts. Sometimes it's just like that when I get nauseous.

Speaking of things I should probably talk to a doctor about! I think I might have OCD. I get straight up awful thoughts and I sometimes have to do something to fix them. I have a back and forth in my head constantly and it's fucking exhausting!!! But I am afraid that I'll be not allowed to go on T if I get a diagnosis (I'm already autistic so that could be something they could deny me for maybe). (Also don't know if I explained properly, sorry)

Some dude on reddit told me I probably don't have OCD because I'm autistic, idk if he's right. I know you can have both but it's possible I'm mistaking my autistic thoughts for OCD thoughts.

Well that's it I guess

Welp. Reddit Is Dead, And I’m Not Sure If Anyone Is Willing To Reanimate Its Corpse. Reddit Was The

Welp. Reddit is dead, and I’m not sure if anyone is willing to reanimate its corpse. Reddit was the only place I could be myself, vent about my issues, stuff like that. Tumblr doesn’t fill the same void in my heart, but it’s decent enough. Hope I can make friends here. I’ll miss my moots over there. RIP aspiememes, traa, and many others. I feel like this collapse will have terrible consequences.

TLDR- i am so sad

Diary entry #13

I'm in a better mood so no cw today! This is mostly just a collection of random thoughts

Sometimes I look at all these people saying trans people are evil or whatever and I don't get it?? Like I don't really understand why people think that. Like grandmother I'm not going to hurt anyone I am literally just some guy.

You ever see some random motherfucker from the most weird series and decide "that man is my new gender envy source and also I want him." That's me, I fall into this trap literally every time I go into a new series/game or whatever. And it is always the weirdest ones too.

I watched a video on pvz lore, and now I'm like "goddammit I GUESS i'll read the comics now." Like they seem interesting and I need more lore so I'll get around to reading them... sometime. There's just so many issues and I procrastinate on even stuff I want to do.

I talked to my grandma about going to college in Illinois and she didn't like shut it down immediately so I'm hoping for the best.

I guess that's it?

Diary entry #8

MOOOOMMM!! August is making fake scenarios in his head to get mad on purpose again!!! /ref

I have terrible intrusive thoughts, and sometimes they turn into fake arguments in my head; basically I think like this -

Transphobic thing I saw once -> having more thoughts and counter arguments to that transphobic thing I saw -> thinking about my grandparents suddenly, what they'd think about it -> they would side with the transphobic thing every time -> oh god now there's a fake argument that's making me mad again

Like I saw a Josh Hawley (conservative Missourian dickhead) truck the other day, and I started to think about how my grandparents like Josh Hawley and all the terrible things he said, annnnddd then I had a fake argument again. Goddammit.

I'm terrified of conflict, so I kind of plan it out in my head beforehand which just makes me angry and scared so it doesn't even help! I just shut down whenever I get in an actual argument with my grandparents, I just start crying.

There is no point in these fake arguments, it just pisses me off at work because that's when I have time to think.

But anyways my day was mostly normal besides that.

I hope that made even a lick of sense, I don't know if I'm coming off right.
