okay so. officially starting a ko-fi goal to help with moving costs (shipping my stuff, physically getting me there, covering a bit of rent) so i can live with my wife . goal is at $3k which i know is a lot to ask for help with but hopefully i shouldn't have to ask tumblr for help like this again barring some catastrophe

Hi chat this has become a bit more urgent, like "I need to move ideally in early/mid September, October at the latest" kind of urgent. Gonna be more annoying about reblogging this post

It’s never been about the shoes for gloves. Or the shoes on the bed.

It’s to have someone holding you with that same wild abandon, everything flung back and uncaring about anything but that embrace in that moment. And no, I’m not okay, either.

hey sorry I snapped at you, I've just had a really hard day and [remembers focusing on myself is selfish] maybe it's your fault for provoking me?

kind of crazy how they drop this bar like 20 minutes into the game. let me get up let me get uppp

Resteraunt servers have the funniest and most surreal workplace stories of any profession. They have the job that mean nurses think they have. The entire world is working against them the entire shift. And then you feel terrible for laughing. It’s not funny that you tripped and spilled an entire ice tea all over a toddler and the kid started screaming at the top of his lungs. Nobody was having a good day, thank God it wasn’t a hot coffee. That’s not funny. I did laugh so hard tears started rolling down my face when you recounted this mortifying ordeal though.

whatever you’re going through, you’re not them

I am sympathetic to a point but sometimes other trans women will be like “dating cis women is a humiliation ritual. It’s traumatic. T4T is the only path forward.” and it’s not a comforting thing to respond with but I can’t help but be like Well …. All dating can be like that. It’s just how it is

This solidarity/support/sympathy often doesn’t extend back towards the dykes and in a sorta snotty retaliation I’m often a little mean/cold about it, but also it’s like … yeah man. Straight trans women got it pretty fuckin miserable.
