If you are [gay] I think you should be up front about it. So many young men and women try to stay in the closet because their family and friends might be biased, or what have you. Forget about them. Be who you are.Judge Mathis during a recent court case. (via fuckyeahsodomites)
I LIKE TO HAVE TEA WITH CATS IN JAPAN BECAUSE I’M SHY
“Cat cafés are huge in Japan right now…In the past five years, exactly 79 such cafés have popped up all over Japan.”

‘The biggest threat isn’t from what people do to you, it’s from what you do to yourself’
- Synopsis for After The End by Dennis Kelly.
How is a transwoman openly living her life and minding her own damned business ‘deceiving’ someone?
If me and my sisters are out and about doing thangs, shopping, talking to our cis or trans girlfriends, having a good time and you’re checking us out, it’s all good.
We transwomen are under no obligation to walk around with a scarlet ‘T’ on our clothing or reveal our status to you or anybody else until you either ask us for a date or are suggesting intimate coupling with us while on that date.
Once you do, we’re in a Catch 22 situation either way.
If we tell you and you start tripping, we are quite aware of the fact that the reaction to what we just told you about our background can range from a loud, disrespectful verbal rebuke to a physical beatdown or murder.
If for some reason we escape that, then we have to deal with the fact you will create a virtual scarlet ‘T’ for us by running and telling every dude we potentially want to hook up with our business. And if you’re feeling especially spiteful, you’ll flap your gums to a few jealous ciswomen who will do the rest of your ‘scarlet trans’ handiwork for you.
But as you run and tell this transwoman’s business, bear in mind you and your cohorts may have initiated a chain of events that sets the transwoman in question up for a hate crime or worse if the wrong person gets wind of that information.
So no, transwomen aren’t running around in the dating scene wanting to ‘trick’ cis men as the urban legends about us go. We’re in the dating scene for the same reasons you are, looking for love and companionship.
