At a recent #transdayofvisibility event I heard this quote in response to someone being told they were "so brave":
" I don't want to be brave, I want to be safe"
This quote has haunted me. It reveals the power dynamic at play here, clearly calling out the aggressive oppressive agenda of one side, and the other side of the argument consisting of human beings wanting to live their own lives. Every "harm" being claimed by the righteous bigots is self-imposed.
Let people live. Respect life.
This is not from yesterday. This is from #TransDayOfVisibility
Look how many people turned out to march for trans rights while it was pissing down rain. And they just kept on right to Trump Tower. Well done, #Chicago! You were great yesterday too.
At the #HandsOff rally in St Paul, #minnesota , the speakers explicitly expressed their support of the LGBTQ+ community and our transgender friends and neighbors. We are not perfect, but we see you and support you.

I just made the switch from Gmail to Proton. I've had Gmail since 1999 (when it was still in beta). But no more. I'll be gradually moving away from using Google services. A few years ago I did the same with Apple, forwarding emails from there to Gmail. Now it all forwards to Proton.
Proton is based in Switzerland and emails on Proton are end-to-end encrypted and everything, even your calendar and contacts, are stored encrypted. Meaning, if they get served a warrant, there's really nothing they can turn over.
This is especially important in a country that is increasingly criminalizing the very existence of myself and people like me. Get your data out of the US and stored securely. It has never been more important. If not for yourself, then for the people you know.
chat we are going to die not even joking, right after #TransDayOfVisibility too

i didn't make it in time for #TransDayOfVisibility , but they're up now - new prints and stickers 
celebrate trans folks every day! 
TIL: Dora Richter, a lacemaker, was a trans woman that wisely escaped Germany and fled to Czechoslovakia where she lived for many years making lace!
I missed it on #TransDayofVisibility because I don't go to Insta much, but Elena Kanagy-Loux has such amazing lace history knowledge. I am glad to know her story.

*** MUTUAL AID REQUEST ***
Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch and I need your help!
If you want to help out a trans person who is struggling, your help would be greatly appreciated. I am a disabled trans nonbinary individual, and I can't work due to chronic illness.
I'm still working on disability and trying to get SSI, but because the US government is in such chaos, stuff's not happening as fast as I would like, so mutual aid is my lifeline till things start moving again. Help is greatly appreciated.

Quilt activism 
in the news -
"Who would you be if you had the freedom to live into the fullness of who you are?
That’s the question a new art installation put to transgender and nonbinary Americans across the country, asking them to weave all their joys, frustrations and hopes into more than 250 panels that will form a massive quilt"

One thing I was planning on writing for #TransDayOfVisibility is that a few weeks ago I tried hinting to a trusted friend that my pronouns weren't what she expects. It didn't go as planned. Somehow I think she came out of that conversation even more sure I'm cis, but a good trans ally. I know I'm not the first, and I'm not sure about the second.
Coincidentally found one of my older sketchbooks(which has a lot of empty pages in it so yay don't have to buy a new one) on the day of trans visibility. I originally did this as something quick for pride when I was sick, but still feel the same way.
it’s really weird to see #TransDayOfVisibility become this massive thing and to have governors officially recognizing it as a holiday.
I remember when #TDoV at my college campus was me and two other people sitting at a table in front of the student union answering people’s questions.
Now look at it. Look at what we’ve accomplished.
Since the Fediverse is a place I found several incredible trans people which I learned and I'm still learning from, I want to ask if this ironic image of Putin with Le Pen's hair is transphobic. I thought it was just an irony with the reaction of some far-right politicians, but I might be wrong. It's a genuine question.

Kopfschmerzbedingt bestand mein Trans day of visibility gestern nur daraus, dass ich bei der Lohnarbeit einen trans Pride Pin an der Mütze hatte und einen Pulli mit einem Aufdruck einer Blume und der Aufschrift "Be brave, be kind, be true, be you", alles in den Farben der trans Flagge. Übersetzt heißt der Aufdruck "Sei mutig, sei nett, sei echt, sei du"
Mir ist es wichtig, im Alltag als transfeminine Person sichtbar zu sein. Grade bei der Lohnarbeit bin ich viel im ländlichen Raum in Sachsen und Thüringen unterwegs. Hier bin ich für viele meiner Kund*innen wahrscheinlich die einzige trans Person, mit der sie zu tun haben. Und wenn sie durch mich merken, dass wir auch einfach nur Menschen sind, die ihr Leben leben wollen, und nicht so, wie wir in Comedy Serien und Filmen dargestellt werden, hilft das vielleicht, Transfeindlichkeit in der Gesellschaft abzubauen. Meiner Erfahrung nach kommt Transfeindlichkeit oft auch einfach durch Unwissenheit, schädliche Darstellung in den Medien und dadurch, dass es einfach das Unbekannte ist, womit eins im Alltag nichts zu tun hat.
Ich bin sichtbar und nehme auch alle Risiken und Gefahren bewusst in Kauf, damit es die nachfolgenden Generationen ein bisschen leichter haben 
I posted to meow.social about this for TDOV already, but to no avail.
I'm a (literally)starving nonbinary shitposter and occasional artist who recently got out of the psychiatric hospital and I need money if I don't want to end up back in there. I have no income, and no money saved up, and my life is getting increasingly difficult
Bonus: If you have a fursona and donate $5 or more I'll try using them for anatomy practice. No guarantees on when though, and they have to be kinda simple
