(late)Happy holidays to all who celebrate! This was my contribution to a secret santa event, made for @the-chozo-lord

unfortunately i have to see discourse on my dash every day that makes me think some of y'all are really only posturing about the whole being a gender weirdo freak thing

"can you treat a trans woman as an equal if she has visible facial hair, or a trans man who has visible breasts?" is a good starting point but let me ask you some more questions.

could you have a normal conversation with a 50 year old transsexual who still considers himself a mother to his son? can you be in community with retransitioners and genderqueer people with non-normative transition trajectories? can you have a nice chat with someone who was afab and calls themself transfemme, or with someone who was amab and calls themself transmasc?

and even more! do you welcome the guy in a dress who calls himself a transvestite and has been doing drag every saturday for the past 10 years to your pride parade? are you willing to hear out the young woman who had bottom surgery at 18 and now kinda wishes she didn't? do you actually respect the people who decide not to go on hrt or to get surgery due to their family's medical history?

they may be hypothetical to you, but those are the people i have met and hang out with every day.

and you might answer yes to all of these, obviously, but could you actually say that when actually meeting them? because i've seen for myself that, no, the hypothetical and reality don't always align.

What would blurfoot do if someone attacked twinpaw?

I had this sketched before this was asked in my drafts actually! It would go something like this!

This happens occasionally, and neither Blurfoot or Twinpaws knows the exact motive for the attacks but erm!!!!! Yea!!! It happens!!

It's Christmas Eve. There is no merry in it. Not when there is a Genocide happening in Gaza & churches are being torn apart. Not when Christian Palestinians have been ethnically cleansed to the brink of extinction. Not when they are restricted from visiting their holy sites. Note on sign states: "While you're celebrating Christmas this weekend, his birthplace is being bombed. Free Palestine"
