As A Car Mechanic, I Can Safely Say, I Don't Understand The Gay Agenda.

As a car mechanic, I can safely say, I don't understand the gay agenda. 

I do however, understand the trans mission.

“How was your day?”

“The most up-to-date place to see my pronouns is on my tumblr. The usual username.”

the best part is the easy access to humor. The worst part is the time sink

Emotional intimacy. I have a hard time believing that I can be anything other than an imposition.

not since I was a child and dreamed of an orange that could change how big you are

I broke my arm on my 9th birthday because I couldn’t wait in line.

yeah, but my emotions are confusing to everyone else

emotional proximity. I don’t care if we’re worlds apart, I want to know how your day has been, how you’re feeling, and I want to share the same with you

A universal statement is only false if a counterexample exists. Meaningless things can still be true, and if something only exists in your head, nobody can talk you you’re wrong.

I’d like to be understood. I don’t want to change who I am, but I’d like the world to shift so that I’m not misunderstood when I enjoy the natural presentation of my emotions

waking up at the end of a long one

we don’t talk as much as we should, sometimes I turn around when I’m missing them and trying to sleep, and they forged a lot of my quirks

social dancing, math, spending time with strangers

moving furniture

yes, until I’m given reason not to

I have an online hobby that none of my irls knows about. But that’s pretty much my only wall

The summer camp I worked at in 2021 falsified health and safety records pertaining to the operating temperature of a broken (ie. unable to heat water) mechanical dishwasher

also can we stop with the whole “[my way of being trans] is the greatest threat to the patriarchy” thing?

This might be a hot take, but I know a couple of transfems who have seized onto that as a way to feel special about their gender. But when trans people start putting together a hierarchy of subversion, it undermines the whole point of solidarity. the queer community as a whole is a threat to the patriarchy, emphasizing further subdivisions exist only cause strife.

#except volume I stand with the quiet gays

No group of trans people has inherent power/privilege over another group of trans people.

Trans men are not your oppressors.

Trans women are not your oppressors.

Nonbinary people, regardless of AGAB, are not your oppressors.

It is important to interrogate your own biases towards your fellow trans people.

Oftentimes, a decent place to start would be to make friends with Other trans people. You'll probably find that you have much more in common with them then you realize.
