fuck it, i never ever do those âreblog for X, this one really works!â posts, but this one doesnât have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesnât even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future youâll love

I can’t explain why but this scene gives peak 3am at a sleepover energy
reminder that trans men also fought for your rights and refusal to acknowledge this is tantamount to denying historical fact
Some sources for those who may not know:
Other US (+ CA) trans men you should know about:
- Steve Dain, whose public transition led to him being fired from his job as a teacher. Trans men in the Bay Area would go on a pilgrimage to meet when when they started their transition.
- Jamison Green, who took over FTM International and itâs newsletter after Louâs death
- Reed Erickson, who used his inherited wealth to bankroll early LGBT movements (and also did other wild rich people shit). His foundation âhelped to support, both through direct financial contributions and through contributions of human and material resources, almost every aspect of work being done in the 1960s and 1970s in the field of transsexualism in the US and, to a lesser degree, in other countries.â
- Alexander John Goodrum, who founded TGNet Arizona and helped pass Tusconâs nondiscrimination ordinance. In 2001 he wrote âGender, Identity Politics, and Eating Our Own,â an essay on infighting in the trans community.
- Rupert Raj, who started some of Canadaâs earliest trans advocacy organizations
- Kylar Broadus, the first openly trans person to testify before the Senate
Pauli Murray also deserves more recognition; he was a Black feminist legal scholar who did invaluable work for the Civil Rights Movement. He never transitioned, having lived much of his life before trans (and especially FTM) treatment was standardized and accessible. He was labeled schizophrenic by doctors for seeking testosterone and testing to see if he was intersex, to explain his gender identity.
Additionally, while they identified as women, both Leslie Feinberg and StormĂ© DeLarverie were masculine people who considered themselves under the umbrella of âtransgenderâ and did invaluable work for our community.
still thinking about this whale sign i saw in cologneâs old townâŠ.
Civil War is literally Tony aquesing to UN pressure, following the law, taking accountability and accepting the consquences for his actions, then trying to protect both Wanda and Bucky from being detained as criminals by either putting them under house arrest or trying to get them fucking therapy
and Steve going ‘but I don’t like being told what to do’ like an arrogant child
and then at the airport team Iron Man is literally just trying to detain team Cap with non lethal methods, AND WANDA AND ANTMAN TRY TO CRUSH THEM WITH MULTIPLE CARS. Wanda even tells Clint to stop pulling his punches when he has Nat on the fucking ground.
and we’re supposed to side with Steve
âThis fic was ai generatedââ Cool, so lemme block you real quick
i immediately thought of this
also can’t really get over how much Civil War should have been the 2nd Avengers movie, and Ultron should have been the 3rd Iron Man movie. Like Tony creating Ultron because of his paranoia and PTSD form New York would have worked fine, there was no need to hit that beat twice in both IM3 and AAOU
