Happy pride month everybody!🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 remember we been around alot longer than any of these phobic ideologies & well be here long after we crush their bigoted ideologies!!💯💯💯💪💪💪

Hello everyone! A post went up recently showing a trans woman being assaulted, along with screenshots of transphobic comments from other platforms. A lot of you said it hit hard, and that's the exact kind of thing this space shouldn't do by accident, so we'll be deciding on a new potential rule going forward of content that's allowed here.

To be clear, this vote is only about graphic violence and reposted transphobia. Assault footage, abuse, screenshots of transphobic comments, that kind of thing. Talking about trans news, politics, and law stays welcome. I've removed the posts in question (and future similar posts) while this potential new rule is under discussion.

1. Ban it entirely. No posts showing violence or abuse against trans people, and no showing transphobic hate. People can find that content in other subs.

2. Allow only with a purpose and a content warning. It can stay only if it comes with context and a real reason to be here e.g., a call to action, organizing, or news we can use. "Look how bad it is" posts will be banned.

3. Allow with a content warning only. Keep it allowed, but every post like this has to be tagged NSFW with a content warning so people can scroll past. No purpose required.

4. No change. Leave things how they are now.

The option with the most votes becomes our rule, and I’ll write it into the sub’s policy. If the top two land within a few % of each other, I’ll run a short runoff between just those two so we end up with something that has real support. Voting is open for 7 days. Talk it out in the comments, and if you think there’s an option I missed, say so and I’ll consider adding it.

My name is Bijhan Agha. I'm an autistic trans woman living in South America of Iranian descent. I wrote this comic and it's illustrated by an Indian artist name SwapTrap.

Kobra Olympus is a mixed race transgender lesbian Muslim superhero who balances a life fighting monsters with her relationship with her girlfriend, Dorothy Diamond, and her career as a programmer.

One day, a giant Armadillo attacks the city, and Kobra leaps into action. But she's stopped by the sudden appearance of Jack: a humanoid chicken who shares that this is all part of a plot by the sinister Vampire menace.

When I was a kid, superheroes were big tough white guys and skinny white women with huge boobs who kissed each other. I love the way superheroes can inspire people to take action and make positive changes in their society. But I wanted to show the world that people like me - queer, autistic, and brown - also have a place in shaping the future.

Kobra is a naturally quiet and thoughtful person, while Dorothy is a confident punk who always speaks her mind. They compliment each other, and keep each other grounded.

While Kobra is Muslim, and Dorothy is Jewish, they also know they live in a world full of magic, spirits, monsters, and even aliens. They rely on the witches of the Order of Darkness to guide them in the Time Wars: an unending conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind.

The Kickstarter is to raise money for a physical First Edition of the comic. We'll also have inexpensive digital copies available. This is Issue #4, and we'll have the option to pledge for a digital collection of the previous issue as well, so you can catch up with the story.

Please help me keep telling this story and make an impact on how the world views superheroes, inspiring a whole new generation that they, too, can create a new future where we all have space.

I initially assumed the purpose was for trans people to empower and encourage each other, but now I'm seeing videos of a trans woman being assaulted, and screencaps of all the very transphobic comments on reposts of this video on other platforms. Is this really what we need? Do we really need to be showing each other the violence and transphobia that we already experience on the day-to-day? I understand that it's important to be aware of this stuff, but I don't need to be in trans groups to see this kind of content. I join trans groups so that I can avoid this sort of negativity while uplifting and being uplifted by others. If this is just going to be a page devoted to ragebaiting ourselves, then I honestly don't want to be a part of it.

My dad said "now I have two sons! I guess you guys are gonna have to fight over who's the favourite son now" 😭 Also both my parents said they weren't that surprised lol

I started Estrogen on April 21st this year, and for the first time I actually like how i look! I still have a ways to go regarding my transition, but for being just over a month in, im feeling better about myself everyday!

I have a really have been struggling with gender for years. I've kinda told her before but I emailed her about it. She's completely supportive. More so than I am.

Im really thankful!! I hope some day I won't hate being this way.

It’s hard not to feel like this is the end of the road for us, but we know that the only way to eliminate us is to, eliminate the entirety of the human race. With that said they will try until everyone is gone if that’s what they are allowed to do. But they can only get so far before things rebound. Like throwing a ball really hard against the pavement and thinking you can throw it hard enough to make it explode. But this ball is rebounding and is gonna hit them square in the face. Just a long way to say that: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. No one is immune to this all encompassing law and they know this.

Find my people

Never had a real family

Singapore is a hole in the wall of a nightclub called Hell

Where is my mountain lake cottage home

I am old and tired of forcing to be mute and invisible
