“Trans misogyny” refers to the targeted devaluation of both trans femininity and people perceived to be trans feminine, regardless of how they understand themselves.
“The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.”

“There are more locations than girl and boy, man and woman. Decamping from one does not have to mean climbing into another. There’s plenty of space in between, or beyond the bounds, or all along and across the plane or sphere or whatever of gender, and it is entirely okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, and so I shall be a boy.” But it must also be okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, so I shall set about changing what it means to be a girl,” and, yes, okay to say, “I do not like being a girl, and so I shan’t.”

“Some say that it was hard to keep going while annihilation crept around the doorstep. But not you. You found it easier to soak yourself in the balm of denial and continue the machinations of what life has always been for you: chopping wood, fetching water, making soup, making babies, losing sleep, starting fires, complaining, getting drunk, normal human shit.”
