Tilly why did you write BEGIN TRANSMISSION and trans tuesdays? exhibit 1284

when we talk about these things, we help each other see what’s right in front of us, what’s inside us and beating in our hearts

if we can see it we can be it

we are all in this together 🩷

pummeled by these revelations, but the gut-punch feeling is actually SO very welcome because it means that there isn't anything

☠️new episode!☠️ #TransTuesday

GENDER DYSPHORIA

How do you describe the indescribable, something so pervasive and yet so inscrutable?

Join me as I tackle one of the biggest topics for many trans people. We're gonna talk about how there's no escaping it, and then see if I can put into words what it's like to live with.

We're joined by therapist, author, and gender specialist Dr. Alex Iantaffi to discuss needing to see ourselves to find ourselves!

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

This week’s topic is a big one, and kind of the reason for everything. That’s right, we’re talking about everyone’s least favorite thing, our not-so-friendly constant companion:

GENDER DYSPHORIA.

Dypshoria’s remarkably difficult to talk about. Finding the right words to express it is beyond difficult, and I’m a damned writer. I’ve been trying to describe it in words for years, and it’s still a challenge.

Let's see if I can get there.

this gives me such complicated feelings. delightful to see trans women from the past, connecting us through history

horrible to know they were forced to dress this way & play that part just to get access to the care they needed… which was still even further inaccessible to everyone who wasn’t white

if you don’t have any trans people in your life…

you actually do have trans people in your life who don’t know they’re trans yet and/or…

don’t feel you’re safe to come out to

fix that by being loud about trans rights so both groups know you’re safe and will support them

they need you 💜

heyyyyy @susanlbridges and I just signed a thing agreeing to write a thing and then you will be able to read the thing! this is very exciting!

less vague news… at some point

💔new episode!💔 #TransTuesday

Didja ever notice how one little annoyance isn't a big deal, but if you get twenty of them in a day it's a problem? Doubly so when they're about your very identity?

So let's talk about TRANS MICROAGGRESSIONS, what they are, and why they're so awful. We've got lots of examples!

@aprilkirby returns to discuss the masks we put up and coming out of the polybag! Are we all always learning to be more of a human? Nunya bizness!

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

This week we’re discussing something every trans person has to deal with, all these little things that add up in ways cis people likely don’t even realize.

It’s death by a thousand cuts with TRANS MICROAGGRESSIONS.

Let's talk about what they are and why they're awful, including examples of the most common ones!

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

i have a couple tops that are always covered in cat hair even right out of the wash, and i’d just like to know who’s responsible so we can bring criminal charges against them

four years ago today i got a makeover

it was the first time i’d ever worn makeup in my life

it was the first time, even if just a single fleeting glimpse, that i saw ME in the mirror

it was the day i knew i had to transition

everything you want is on the other side of fear 💜

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

This week we’re talking about how when queer people finally get SOME representation that’s long been denied (specifically in A League Of Their Own) some cishet people, even allies, Cannot Process That.

Welcome to: IMPLICIT QUEERPHOBIA.

Cishet people, it’s important for you to read this and understand what’s going on here. Sharing is encouraged. Because this is largely about you and the way you react to things about people who are… not you.

it is NEVER TOO LATE to transition

that’s what transphobic society wants you to think, because they have a vested interest in forcing you to uphold the false cis binary matrix that maintains the status quo of power

take your power back

be YOU

IT’S
NEVER
TOO LATE
TO BE YOU

shibboleth is a tremendous word because not only does it sound cool but if you don’t know what it means then shibboleth is also a shibboleth

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

have you ever thought
of the pure intimacy
of pulling another human close
wrapping them in your arms
heartbeat to heartbeat
the trust, the vulnerability, the love
one of the best things
humans have ever done
is hug

this has been pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

This week we’re discussing how wanting, NEEDING to transition to our true selves can provide us with a seemingly infinite wellspring of incentive to accomplish things we never thought we could.

We’re talking TRANS MOTIVATION.
