You know what sucks the most about this whole twitter thing? Like, even if everything went completely tits up and Elon lost the entire 44B in total, he’d still be one of the richest people in the world, and 7000+ people would have lost their jobs for nothing.

It’s funny (not like, funny ha-ha, but you know, more like, baffling) how completely unaware most cis people are about the current attacks on trans folks in the U.S. right now. For instance, there’s a gal who works at our local grocery store that always chats with me…

It really drives home the point, though, that we need to be doing everything we can to increase visibility on these monsters, because some of our potentially strongest allies in the fight against them might not even know what’s going on, since the media loves to bury it.

There’s a poll someone posted today that asked trans women how long they identified as a gay man prior to transition. And like… the longer I sit with it, the angrier I get about it. Because that mentality kept me from realizing I was trans for DECADES. Trans lesbians exist.

Being openly trans can be helpful for other trans people, because it can give us courage and strength… but it can also help or cis friends and family, because it can help them see that we’re going to be OK. They worry about us, for good reason… but we’re going to be okay.

I will never, not if I live for ONE MILLION YEARS, EVER get tired of women complimenting me on my outfit or purse or whatever. It’s pure, distilled euphoria, and such a remarkably foreign experience. The most I ever got before was a “nice shirt” every now and again.

I’M JUST MAE NOW. Greg is a relic of the past. I get to be MAE. EVERYWHERE. ALWAYS. HOLY SHIT. I’m still kind of struggling to contextualize it. It’s weird to be MOSTLY out, and then all of a sudden be ENTIRELY out. I’m MAE, goddammit! 🥰 9/9

I would very much like to know why people who actively look forward to the day their deity destroys the world in a fiery apocalypse to punish nonbelievers are allowed to be involved in literally any level of government.

Sassy Mae was out in force today. At Target, I was looking for something, and an employee walked up and said “can I help you find anything, sir?” My brain paused for a second and as soon as it rebooted, I glanced down at myself and said “You wanna try that again?”

I kinda want to take a minute just to sort of rehash something I’d mentioned before in some comic threads, because I think it bears repeating and I’m of the opinion that it never hurts to represent yourself. :) My kids still, and always will, call me “dad”. And I love it. 1/5

Look, all I’m saying here is that if you like, watched, or have in any way ever been aware of The Matrix, you’re trans now. I don’t see why that’s a controversial take.

@POTUS You do realize that you can’t just SAY “I have your back” without actually DOING anything about it, right? You can’t just say it once a year and hope the good vibes do the job.

Biden to transgender Americans: 'Your president has your back.'

President Biden's remarks, made during his first joint address to Congress, comes amid a wave of state bills targeting transgender people.

BEHOLD! I have transitioned SO HARD that I have reached back in time and altered the very fabric of the past! No mortal should hold such power, but I promise not to abuse it TOO much. (Seriously though holy SHIT this feels amazing!)

My dad called me today to 1) admonish me for not including Stephanie as one of my names (his first name is Stephen) and 2) to let me know that he had a great aunt Mae, so it’s technically a family name! :D

My Dad: “Hey, when you come over for dinner on Thursday, why don’t you all bring your swimsuits - the community pool is open!” Me: “Aw, the kids will love that! Sounds like…” <Realizes she will be wearing a women’s swimsuit around her dad for the first time> Me: “…fffun.”
