Hi Every Trans Girl In The World If You See This I Want You To Know You're So Pretty And I Love You And

Bruised Bed by Maayan Sophia Weisstub

the worst kind of anxiety is when u don't know what u are anxious about, yet you feel like something is about to go horribly wrong

People act like anti-masculinity isn't a problem in queer spaces, as if I'm not instantly perceived as bigger, angrier, and meaner than everyone else in the room just because I'm butch.

As if I'm not constantly relegated to being everyone's Big Angry Protector.

As if queer spaces haven't habitually treated me more like a snarling dog on my partners' leash than as a human being.

As if I'm not constantly told my "job" is to protect every other queer person with my physical body, even though I'm disabled.

As if I'm not assumed to be the aggressor in every dispute, even though I value de-escalation and mediation as vital skills.

As if I exist only to hurt others or to sacrifice my body for them, never being protected and comforted in kind.

Find someone else to defend pride against bigots. The butches are on strike until you treat us better and stop volunteering us for the firing line.

I'm tired of being told I'm supposed to take a bullet for people who would throw me under the fucking bus. Where's OUR defense squad? When do the butches get to be lovingly defended and treated to some kindness and care?

Butches deserve better. And that goes double for trans butches, of any gender.

when your love language is secretly physical touch, but any amount of affection overwhelms you 🙄

you requested more butch arms?

I'm in deep you guys.
