reminder that “transwomen” as one word is a bigot dog whistle

you wouldn’t write “seniorwomen” or “whitewomen” as one word, would you?

we are trans women, written just as you would for any other type of woman

please don’t participate in othering us

✅new episode!✅ #TransTuesday

In 2022, the largest ever survey of transgender Americans was conducted, and provided an absolute wealth of data on trans life in the United States.

Let's dig in to the early insights and see what existing as trans in this country is like for everyone who's not cisgender.

Social worker Charlie Hutchinson joins us to discuss how we're living our glory days right now!

trans women don’t owe you performative femininity

my fellow tv writers, a proposal:

can we collectively stop writing scenes where men have sex with women under false pretenses, while pretending to be someone else?

it’s never been plot-necessary and is in fact sexual assault

so maybe let’s stop doing that please

ok thx

HOLD UP WAIT A SEC

The Acolyte not only has a trans woman in the cast (Abigail Thorn), but it has a trans woman writer/producer (Jen Richards)?!

dare i hope this means they will actually ACKNOWLEDGE the character is a trans woman????

I AM SO HYPED

U CAN DO IT STAR WARS I BELIEVE IN U

super sweaty and exhausted, sure, but what do you expect after 360 push ups, 200 reverse crunches, 60 bicep curls, 30 reps of five different back exercises, and running two miles? 💅

Another installment of Tillyvision comes to a close, as we wrap up the trans allegory of #barbie

Her egg cracked, she experimented, she pulled back and overcompensated, she shed the false male simulacra for good... so what now?

Now you have a heart to heart with your heart, and you transition! Self-actualization awaits!

@mystical_alexis returns one last time to discuss Superman ice cream! Emo? It's all for you.

watched Damsel on Netflix, and surprisingly it’s got some stuff to say about misogyny and ways to break that oppression

but cis men get to keep writing and directing movies about what women face, and can we finally let more women do that or nah?

because oh what it could have been

went out in search of new jeans

saw another trans lady amazon, we clocked each other and smiled

in that way that says… hey, i got you

and dang if that doesn’t make the day better 🩷

tillybridges, 27 days ago to random

today i was misgendered and stared at by a whole lot of cis people

it was poop!

but tonight’s pineapple reminds you that says a whole lot about them and nothing at all about me

and do we let that stop us from living our lives full of joy and love?

no 👏 we 👏 do 👏 not

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

i love writing because it boils down to “here is a pretend person and the pretend things they’re doing, and i am going to make you have very real feelings about them”

this has been pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly
