Also In Trans News That Should Be Talked About. Laverne Cox Has Stated That On Saturday Her And A Friend

I like tumblr because it’s the only social media platform that isn’t like “look how great my life is going right now!” it’s literally just shitposting. it’s the one website that doesn’t destroy your self esteem. no one has ever read a text post that just said “bungus” and been like “wow they have their whole life together and I wish that could be me” and I’m here for it

romanticize your life. i cannot stress this enough. use scented shower gel and shampoo, so you look forward to showers. go on walks and see how pretty the sky looks. notice the wildflowers on the roadside as you drive. light a candle when you get home to make your room smell good. notice & appreciate the little things in life. it won't cure your mental illness, but it'll make it easier to exist in this world.

Direct byproduct of being neurodivergent and growing up isolated from your peergroup is having no idea when it's appropriate to define someone as your friend

yes think critically about all the media you consume

its okay to like harry potter 

if you want to buy the books, movies and other merch buy used so you don’t support her 

People are once again searching for permission that it’s okay to like Harry Potter, and that your feelings about this big part of your childhood are “valid”. Leaving behind all the arguments about Death of the Author and the actual text of the book, here’s something that’s worth remembering.

JK Rowling is a very rich woman.

She’s friends with politicians in her country. Some of these politician have even cited her and her experiences before. And right now, puberty blockers are illegal in the UK. It has become increasingly difficult to get HRT in the UK. Neither party in the UK supports trans rights right now.

This goes beyond her just being a transphobe on Twitter, since that apparently isn’t enough. There is a direct link between her and actual LEGISLATION against trans people.

Are you okay with that?

And please don’t say “just pirate it”. Or are you planning on writing fanfiction that you don’t intend other people to read? Will you be watching this new series or playing this new game in secret? Or are you instead going to be sharing this stuff on social media, putting your house in your bio, encouraging more people to engage in this fandom and generate more revenue for JKR.

Are you okay that every dollar of revenue that you generate for her, as fan of her work, is a dollar that could potentially go to ensuring a trans person in her country suffers more?

You want reassurance that it’s still okay to like Harry Potter, ask yourself. Are you okay with that?

doing my damnedest to free myself of the “just gotta get through this week” “only x more days til the weekend” mindset & learn to appreciate each day for whatever it is lest i be driven to madness

The World’s First Lingerie Brand For Transgender Women Is Here

Carmen Liu, trans woman and entrepreneur, has launched a lingerie collection for trans women.

She says:

“I had this business idea circulating in my mind for two years, thinking of how I would design the lingerie if I had the opportunity,” she says. “I wouldn’t say there was lightbulb moment as such. The idea hit me due to pure frustration of not being able to buy lingerie. Once I got the green light I began working 16 hours most days to cover every detail and possible option that would benefit and bring positive change to our community.”

This is a line that also fits transgender women who have not had  gender confirmation surgery.

Forbes has more about this.
