@yuki2501@hackers.town it’s good that these spaces exist. it’s sad that they have to be built and defended.

the thing that infuriates me is how men in particular give each other so much shit for expressing or even just exploring any measure of femininity. using the wrong words too much or showing interest in the wrong things can apparently bring one’s entire manhood into question—or worse. people, even kids, get beaten to death just for wearing the “wrong” clothes, ffs.

it’s tragic that so many trans people have to escape to virtual worlds just to have a space where nobody denies them their identity, where they don’t have to fear bodily harm, and where they don’t have to censor their own thoughts because everyone keeps telling them how wrong they are.
