  • Hi, if you’d like to ask questions I’m here.
    You seem curious in other comments so I’d like to hear your thoughts.

    Kinda hard to give you the full picture since I’ve never had a pimp, but I think the cognitive dissonance only really comes up when I’m talking to someone who wants to enter the industry and isn’t understanding the ramifications. Otherwise it’s kinda a “supporting each other’s prison successes” vibe since we feel trapped in the world.





  • I…am not sure I’d even say “to an extent” for enbies. While the trans men I’ve interacted with have been lackluster in wielding the privilege they gain for good, the afab enbies celebrate each piece of privilege because they are few and far between, if they are extant in the first place. I am ignorant if the statistics are granular enough to tell us this info, but after Nex, I feel it is fair to say many enbies experience harassment on the same scale and pervasiveness as trans women.

    Hell, some of the trans women I know are enbiephobic, so I feel like in some what it’s our job to support enbies, because it’s starting to look like “first they came for the enbies, and I said nothing, because I am not an enbie”.

    I genuinely prefer enbies as queer allies out of everyone else, but I feel like that’s an attitude you’ll get generally only from younger trans women. I guess I’m just saying while if someone like me is hurt I am deeply saddened for the loss of someone I extend my love to, but when an enbie is hurt it means (at least to me) someone who I could talk to with zero mask. I really hope I’m not saying anything shitty, to either group, cuz I have identified with being nonbinary in several ways over the years so maybe that would explain my feelings of companionship

    Also thank you for the support in keeping myself safe 💜





  • I mean It makes tons of fucking sense lol

    I don’t feel offended that I have to be so explicit that I fight against all forms of oppression and especially racism

    People of color generally have no margin for error with these things, because someone could say the exact same shit I do and then support Biden’s border policy. I don’t see myself as a “good white person” because I recognize that they don’t really exist in our everyday lives. I defer my judgement to people with different perspectives because I know I will hurt people otherwise.

    Maybe you wouldn’t have as bad of an issue if every white person acted similarly, but for a lot of people I feel like those attitudes never go away, so it feels more like the preparation for the start of progress rather than an actual step forward.

    I apologize if I’m overstepping or offering my opinion when it is undesired.


  • I saw a jumping spider while I was brushing my teeth, and I jumped back and she kinda cautiously prepared to run, so I said "Oh no I’m sorry lil spider I didn’t mean to scare you! You keep doing your thing, buddy! And she relaxed and then moved under the sink so I wouldn’t accidentally squish her while I brushed

    I thought nothing of it until I saw her on my way the next day, and I said “Hi!” And waved, and she waved back lol

    She waved back every time I saw her so I am pretty sure I made a friend/familiar
