Trans people aren't to blame for transphobia.
Transphobes are.
transphobia existed before nonbinary people, microgenders, and neopronouns became more well known
transphobia existed before proud and confident gnc trans people became more well known
the problem has never been trans people that dont conform to cisnormative standards, the problem is how normalised transphobia is in our society.
our identities are not a joke, and we are not the punchline

The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.
It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.
After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 40,000 responses last year.
Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.
Thank you so much!

I have been thinking about this post and especially how people always warn that pickpockets can easily steal things out of your backpack when you are for example in a public transport. And like seriously???? Do you even know what I have in there? So much fucking stuff. If you find my wallet you definitely have earned that money. Like today I literally have a whole bowl of salad in my backpack and not even with a closable lid or anything just some cling film on it. And I am just imagining some slowly reaching into my backpack to not get noticed and just grabbing some salad and freaking out because it is wet and weird XD
(To clarify it is tomato rice salad already marinaded)
I don’t understand how on TV, people can break into homes and immediately find bank statements, passports and super important documents. If someone tried that at my place it would be “I’m sure she keeps her important stuff in her desk. No, wait, this draw is full of pens that don’t work. Aha! This box looks important! Oh, never mind. It’s full of cigarette lighters. She doesn’t even smoke!”
No!
I got it now and I hate it

I went off script. Enjoy these dumbasses.
Happy Halloween! Here’s a silly and slightly spoOOooky magicstone doodle comic to celebrate! The other one is still WIP but this idea jumped me and, uh, well, it’s done now! So here you go :D
Read the whole thing full size here on my website, or the rest is right here!
Best read in new tags or at least full size bc tumblr makes things crunchy… hope you like it anyway!
you’re not behind in life. you’re going at your own pace. it’s better to do things the right way with time than to rush things. don’t stress yourself out too much over a self-conceived timeline.
