Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
how do I do subcutaneous injections in my belly without the needle going all over the place when I breathe? is there like a trick? this shit hurts
complaining about bigots
FUCK BIGOTS. FUCK RACISTS, FUCK TRANSPHOBES, FUCK ANYONE WHO WANTS PEOPLE'S HUMAN RIGHTS DENIED BECAUSE THEY ARE "SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE". I don't want to hear any excuses for it, I genuinely just want them all to shut their fucking mouths and either improve themselves, or fuck off forever. I hate them and I will never not hate them until they change. I am so fucking angry right now.
edit, oh and also
Fuck going back into hiding to make them fucking happy. Queer people, ethnic minorities, women in general, all deserve to be fucking celebrated and fuck the idea of not doing that to try and win bigots over.
looking forward to my progesterone turning up, but if the results are particularly obvious that might be my days of plausibly boymoding over lmao
I have gotten to the theater part of gender outlaw, and am struggling with it. Should I persevere or go on to another?
sad
The girlsad just hit me out of nowhere. We were just vibing, now the vibe is gone. I think I'm going to try and make a yarn bracelet, or at least watch some videos. I don't want to spiral literally every day out of no where.
I can't wait to be on E ~~and to have been on E for a few years~~
Can I please make it another 5 hours without having to make another decision on the unit always scared it's gonna be the wrong one
Just 5 boring hours, please, if you wouldn't mind
Does it matter what mascara I get, or can I just get anything from the convenience store?
I got my copy of The Left Hand of Darkness back and I'm going to try to finish it this time.
wishing the author of My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness a very GETO UT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
the very transgender thing i was doing, i can retroactively confirm was london trans pride
was the slowest moving parade i've ever been part of, presumably cops trying to keep the trans parade away from the fascists? so now my feet are absolutely killing me
Nevada-ing
People have called Nevada "ground zero for modern trans litera- ture," and while I get that-before it was published, I don't think I'd read a novel with a trans character (much less protagonist) who I didn't at least sort of hate- I don't really feel like a genius visionary who invented literature centering marginalized experiences. At the very least, this idea occludes the work other people had done that made Nevada possible. So rather than focus on my own brilliance, I want to use this afterword to name and appreciate a few of the things without which Nevada could not have happened.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, CHAT, SHE IS REALLY GONNA DO IT.
Edit: this is utterly deranged, this afterword is written in almost exactly the same tone she writes Nevada in. That's not a stylistic flourish for her fiction, I guess she just actually talks like this? Fucking rad, I guess her blog posts were like this too actually.
MORE, ft. Shitty takes abt trans men
This, by the way, is context for some of the things that Maria says about trans guys that seem fucked up a decade and a half later.
Oh yeah, so she actually WAS just bitter and angry and shitty at trans men and she's running defense for it, because she lived with trans guys who did transmisogyny at the time. My initial read was bang-fucking on 
If I seem gleeful, it's not because I wanna beat up Binnie or whatever but rather because this Afterword is finally confirming a bunch of weird shit I had assumed about Nevada, or had to gather vaguely in discussions like the ones we have here. I was right I knew it!!! All along!!!!!!!!
I guess at least she's owning up to it? But lol. I wonder if this book is responsible for any Tumblr flame wars, it has to be.
Also seeing Binnie say "nonbinary" is a break in the timestream. That's not fucking "genderqueer", what the fuck! You exist outside of 2008???
The reference to This Bridge Called My Back is surprising and pleasant, you kinda wonder how Nevada still ends up doing what is basically the "white-people-anti-racist-work" equivalent of Land Acknowledgement. Like, Otros Valles by Jamie Berrout stands in really incredibly stark contrast to Nevada, they have to be a pair y'know.
I would have to read all of this stuff, Junot Dรญaz and Dennis Cooper and Joanna Russ probably to see where Nevada's signature lovable style came from, but also maybe that is just Imogen Binnie herself.
More of this to come.
