Before you say “look at that asshole wearing sunglasses inside” consider:

•They have an eye deformation they do not wish to show

•They have snow vision and literally cannot see in bright light conditions

•They are blind or partially blind

•They get migraines and could throw up or pass out from the fluorescent lights

•Don’t be an asshole

· That they have sensory processing issues that makes bright lights uncomfortable or painful and therefor could make them unable to focus and function.

  • They don’t want to be judged by their eye contact or facial expressions.
  • They just like wearing sunglasses inside. It’s none of your business why.
  • They project a powerful beam of concussive, ruby-colored force that comes from ambient energies (such as solar radiation, photons, and cosmic rays) absorbed and metabolized by their body into concussive blasts that are released from their eyes and the glasses are lined with powdered ruby quartz crystal to prevent random discharge.

lets be real! passing is one of the most unfair societal obstacles we face! cis ppl put expectations on us to not just perform our gender, but to overperform it! if they used their standards on themselves, so many cis ppl wouldnt pass either. so take a deep breath and know youre doing just fine! and better than you think! its not like passing was ever important for self worth anyways – its just a bullshit game we play with cis.

I hope every trans person reads this and internalizes it. Dear GOD this is important!

Yall can be edgy and talk about how much you hate tumblr all you want but I will be real chief I value my undeserved clout on here and its also the only place that shoots all my niche interests directly into my brain at the speed of light

i don’t think people understand that people can ‘love’ you and not actually love you

like my grandmother ‘loved’ me, but she also was always trying to change me.  she tried to take me away from my (catholic bisexual) mother.  she made me wear dresses when i was there.  she always tried to get me to go to church and was always asking me if i was dating a boy yet

i spent years feeling guilty that i wasn’t what she wanted me to be until my mom told me one day “she never bothered to know the real you”

and it’s true.  any time i tried to show her something about myself, even cook for her, it would be dismissed, and a replacement would be offered.  even northern food was somehow a sin.  

she loved me what she thought i should be, she never loved me.  

bc people who love you, they love you for all the stuff that makes you you.  they never consider that it makes you inconvenient.

“It was true: the other mother loved her. But she loved Coraline as a miser loves money, or a dragon loves its gold.“

Loving someone like a prized possession is a very different thing from loving someone like a person you care about.
