Trans blacks. Every single one of their lives matter. Your friends. Your neighbors. Your teachers. Your brothers. Your sisters. We are the change.

I saw this on Pinterest and it really hit me how much I needed to realize this. I am constantly putting myself in the worst scenarios possible and overthinking pretty much everything. And, while that helps me in a great amount of aspects, it sometimes can harm my mental health. I’ve come to realize that living the moment without the necessity of planning everything is wonderfully simple. There is so much beauty in simplicity, and we take away that beauty by overthinking certain things. It’s so important to give ourselves space from bad thoughts, habits and also people. Doing what makes us happy is basic in our daily life, and overthinking things with the excuse of “just to be prepared” is harmful sometimes. It is okay to just exist and live the moment you are living.

TRANS EXCLUSIONARY FEMINISM IS POOP FEMINISM

New History Project Unearths Radical Feminism’s Trans-Affirming Roots

“The groundbreaking online history venture, found at Radfem.TransAdvocate.com, unearths extensive proof that radical feminism has always welcomed transgender people. By doing so, it flies in the face of a contemporary narrative pushed by a few particularly outspoken self-proclaimed radical feminists who argue that transgender women are not women and are in fact dangerous to the broader feminist cause.”

Those resources include a helpful glossary, suggested readings, a historical timeline, and detailed guidelines for how to integrate the project’s findings into the curriculum of academic programs. The venture will also include a book-length collection of collaborative essays. Already appearing in installments on the project’s website, these essays are authored by Stoltenberg and the project’s founder and principal researcher, Cristan Williams, a trans historian who is the editor in chief of TransAdvocate.com.”

“i mean if trans exclusive radical feminists don’t want to be called terfs we could just go back to calling them transphobes and stop pretending there’s anything radically feminist about their ideas.”
