would anyone be kind enough to send me even just $5 so i can eat something for dinner? i haven’t eaten in days. my family is withholding food from me and i’m an unemployed trans girl
and first off, I’m 5’7, 5’11 in dance shoes, 170 pounds, broad shoulders and big hips and not small in any dimension. For a ballroom dancer, this means a lot of time spent learning the men’s parts. Especially in lifts.
I’ve had years now of guys kinda just going “lol heck naw” when told to lift me. I don’t admit this part much, but it makes me want to sink into the ground and die when every other girl can be lifted, but I’m just too big.
So this guy, smaller than me and really cute, shows up at auditions and I see this girl across the room getting tossed about like the beautiful pixie she is, and apparently I looked a little wistful because this boy asked me if I liked lifts.
“Oh. I… Uh… I’ve never really done the girls part. I’m a little big, haha…” (laugh it off, as usual.)
He looked me dead in the eye and then picked me up like a movie princess, bounced me in the air a few times, and set me down effortlessly while telling me whoever refused to lift me before was just being a lazy wimp.
I seriously doubt this boy will ever really get how much that meant to me. But, holy cow. Some faith in humanity just got restored.
some people out there be pretending that you can be a transmisogynist without fundamentally being a misogynist… cringe
“oh ho ho i just want to abolish the parts of the system of gendered violence that i don’t like but keep the ones that allow me to enact gendered violence myself, against my perceived inferiors” anybody who is like this doesn’t actually want to abolish anything and is fundamentally invested in maintaining gendered violence as a social structure, they just wish it didn’t affect them as well. miss me with that strasserite shit
