so hard to give advice to newly out trans people because it's always like

"oh you're struggling to figure out what clothes to wear? have you tried a fursona? you don't know what pronouns you want to use? have you tried,,, having a fursona? you don't know if you want to start hrt? well,,,,, there's always fursonas?"

hey uh, if you're out an about doin things, please be careful with how you pass around information like helpful phone numbers. bootlickers are saving & sharing screen shots of well meaning folk posting numbers for rides and aid.

And i had to have that conversation again around Kankri. How this is pastiching a real kind of person, and the kind of "sjw" embodied by kankri is shitty -- but people talked like kankri was a mockery of caring about things, not a mockery of performatively caring.

and I'm just thinking about how. So much of the state of Online and progressive forces and shit would be so much better if there weren't the WRONG extremes like this.

you know. When "sjw" was coming into the common parlance, I was like "god this is some reactionary bullshit. there are a bunch of people who I thought SJW referred to who are just trying to be superior and fight people for being shitty, but that's not how it's used." And I got kinda talked down for saying there was any kind of problem with social justice circles.

hot on the heels of a bill that would level the death penalty for doctors and carrying parents who seek abortions, bill SB1646 seeks to criminalize ANY gender affirming/ transition care for children and label it as "child abuse".
