CW: CW: transphobia, anti-trans rhetoric, political hate speech
I really need to stop reading all the trans-exclusionary stuff. It makes me angry. It makes me depressed. Frankly, my nervous system has filed a formal complaint.
Unfortunately, I also feel the need to document it. Screenshots. Dates. Names. Statements. The whole miserable little dossier.
Because one day, when the political weather changes, some of these people will suddenly insist they were always on our side. They will say they supported trans people, that they were merely asking questions, that they were always fighting for equality.
And I will remember.
Not because I enjoy keeping score. Not because I want revenge.
(I do enjoy both of these things, but...)
But because history has a nasty habit of being rewritten by people who know perfectly well what they said when it mattered.
I will not let that happen. Neither should you.
For future historians. For accountability. And because apparently somebody has to keep the fucking receipts.

CW: CW: transphobia, historical erasure, discrimination, violence
In those days, before the internet, before endocrinology, before the words transgender and gender identity had entered the languages of men, there were those who knew themselves to be other than what the world had named them.
And they were many.
In the beginning, there were the gender-diverse people of ancient civilizations: priests, warriors, healers, lovers, servants, rulers and rebels. Some were revered. Some were feared. Some were merely allowed to exist.
And the centuries passed.
Kingdoms rose and fell. Empires were built and burned. Religions declared what people were permitted to be. Physicians invented new words for old experiences. Governments invented new laws for policing them.
Still, the people remained.
Then came the twentieth century, and with it new knowledge. Physicians learned that bodies could be altered. Hormones could be administered. Names could be changed. Lives could be lived.
And for a brief moment, it seemed that perhaps the ancient question might finally have an answer:
“What if we simply let people become who they know themselves to be?”
But the enemies of freedom did not sleep.
They gathered in laboratories, churches, parliaments, newspapers and television studios. They forged accusations. They declared that trans people were a modern invention, despite the inconvenient existence of thousands of years of history.
And so began the Great Erasure.
They took the ancient records and said, “Those weren't trans people.”
They took the gender-diverse people of other cultures and said, “Those don't count.”
They took the pioneers of the twentieth century and said, “Those were merely confused.”
They took Stonewall and said, “They weren't there.”
They took the people standing beside them and said, “You have never existed.”
Yet the trans people endured.
They endured the laws.
They endured the ridicule.
They endured the doctors.
They endured the police.
They endured the newspapers.
They endured the people insisting that their existence was somehow historically impossible.And still they stood.
For history is a stubborn thing.
You may burn a book.
You may alter a photograph.
You may rename a person.
You may pretend an entire generation never existed.But you cannot make the people disappear simply by refusing to remember them.
And so the story continues.
Not because trans people suddenly appeared.
But because, after thousands of years of being told they were impossible, they finally became impossible to ignore.

#Introduction I seem to write these too often, but here we go again…
Hi my name is River and I’m a 36 year old #trans woman,
My pronouns are She/Her They/Them,
I began to #transition 24 months ago (HRT for 12 months)I’am #Bi / #Pan depending on how you define it (Personality is key, but I have the right hormones now so I sometimes have “needs”)
I’m radical about #TransRights , I’m a #QueerAnarchist , and I describe myself as a social liberationist because #TransLiberation is also liberation for all, for when one person does not have #bodilyautonomy no one does.
I am strongly #antifacist this includes terfs incase this confuses them, you can’t be a #feminist and take sides with the patriarchy!
I’m a #Vegan for animal rights/ecology, and I love to cook.
I am an avid reader and watcher of #SciFi , I like most things but have a leaning to Utopianism over Dystopian fiction, the world mirrors the worst corporate nightmares as it is. Escapism does not always have to be as dark.
I sometimes struggle with my #MentalHealth ; I suffer from an #anxiety disorder, as well as #cPTSD , and I’m a #CSASurvivor .
I have a #ChronicPain condition from a slight spinal stenosis (L4-L5) This sometimes can limit my mobility.
So this is me and I have begun to take some time just for myself; to explore my identity, I spent too long pretending to be someone I could never have been and who I really did not want to be.
So I am excited for where this journey will take me, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all.So if this seems not to be the most boring thing in the world to witness my second adolescence, then feel free to follow me, or boost anything I might say of value.

Criminalizing the lives of marginalized people is not an unfortunate accident but the very purpose of the ruling majority's laws. The purpose of a system is what it actually does, not what those who profit most from it say it's supposed to do.

"Be gay, do crimes" is a statement that makes explicit what is already implicitly understood, that the law in cishet society criminalizes the existence of queer people and we will find neither protection nor justice under their laws.

Queer people should be a threat to the whole oppressive and exploitative social order that cishet people have constructed to enrich themselves at our expense. We should strive to dismantle that oppressive system, not to elevate ourselves within it.

The anarcha-queer hears that cishet people see queer people as a threat, and the anarcha-queer says "Good. We are."

"Be gay, do crimes" has the same DNA as "ACAB" and "Pride Was A Riot. "Be gay, do crimes" is a direct challenge to pinkwashing and rainbow capitalism and assimilation into cishet society that requires queer people to be silently and invisibly queer. "Be gay, do crimes" is a refusal to make our queerness non-threatening to cishet people.

More people need to know that "be gay, do crimes" isn't just some ready-made marketing slogan to plaster across tee shirts and coffee mugs. "Be gay, do crimes" is a queer anarchism rallying cry.

I support trans rights but more importantly I support trans wrongs 🏳️⚧️
In any authoritarian power structure the law exists to criminalize the existence of marginalized people, providing a veneer of legitimacy to our oppression. Our real crime is being trans. We may as well do other crimes too.

I’m radical about #transrights,
I’m a #queeranarchist, for when the politics of the Left begin to drift soft right, they cease to represent anyone but themselves, the time has come for real change.
I describe myself as a social liberationist because #transliberation is liberation for all,
for when one person does not have #bodilyautonomy no one does.
I am strongly #antifascist this includes terfs incase this confuses them, you can’t be a #feminist and take sides with the patriarchy!2/5
