my goal is to write a post about butches and how wonderful they are without sounding performative. i don’t want my butch appreciation posts even to vaguely resemble the meaningless, mindless, over-compensating, performative posts tras make about trans women. i don’t want them to sound anything like “trans women are all goddesses uwu i love queens.” i want each and every butch reading my posts to know that i support her, that i admire her courage to exist as she is in a world that punishes women when we don’t confine ourselves in impractical, uncomfortable clothing and disguise our faces with cosmetic products and remove any and all hair that grows anywhere other than our heads because god forbid we look like adult human females, mammals, right? i want each and every butch reading my posts to know that i sing her praises. men in skirts will be praised far more for being “subversive” than she will ever be, but her courage surpasses that of any man in a skirt. let’s hear it for butches. the women who dare to exist as female human beings in a world that stops at nothing to threaten female human beings.

not to sound like a baby boomer or some other bullshit but the internet really has given children access to things they absolutely should not see. i just heard my ten year old brother make a daddy joke. this really has to stop.

like i’m not joking. i’m like. just so angry i can’t articulate it right now but i’m so upset, especially with adults/older teenagers who egg children on in making jokes far beyond their age because they think it’s funny.

Not only that, but they look up their favorite shows and see porn of their favorite characters

^ This point is crucial. This is not as simply avoided as “don’t like don’t read/watch” disclaimers advise and there is not adequate safeguarding against children accessing sexually explicit material even so much as third-party websites that require a user to agree that they are over the age of 18.
