Courtney (she/her/they)

Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!

I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.

Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.

Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

  • Republicans are mentally toddlers who think if someone else gets something, even an intangible concept, there’s less of that thing to go around. So if someone else is allowed to do literally anything that the toddler doesn’t do themselves, CLEARLY that means something is being taken away from them.

    If a bike lane goes in and the toddler doesn’t like riding a bike, then that HAS to mean something is being taken from them.

    When a local project was proposed to add a bike lane on one side of the road to allow safe passage of bikes, republicunts threw a goddamn tantrum, because we CAN’T take up part of the parking lots that nobody ever parks in because it’s far away from storefronts, and we CAN’T take away that thin strip of green-brown that dies every year because it’s right against the road, and it’s money the city shouldn’t be spending.

    A little over a year later and they’re halfway through expanding a new lane on each side of the road, pushing into parking lots, taking away the green and trees from both sides of the road, shutting down one direction for months at a time, and costing about 15x more than the single lane expansion and blocking off would have.

    Adding another lane has so far caused several accidents as people realize they need a different lane and try to force their way into a spot to turn, or they get stuck in the turn lane and try to launch their car ahead of the normal flowing traffic and sideswipe the next lane or t-bone a car trying to turn into the main road.

    But hey, at least we don’t have any of those WOKE DANGEROUS DEI BIKE LANES





  • The point of language is to convey meaning. Grammar is less important than what the speaker wants to tell other people.

    If this sentence, in context of a larger conversation, has meaning to the people listening to it, then congratulations! Rejoice, for communication has been achieved! Whether it was grammatically correct or not is irrelevant, because the intended target understands.

    Language changes over time. Nobody just decided to come up with modern English one day and it caught on, it’s a gross pot filled with words and grammar from many other languages (some more melted than others, so not really a melting pot), and mostly filtered from a language nobody speaks anymore.

    So having what are essentially arbitrary rules that dictate how things must always be for that language is already pretty dumb to me.


  • Being able to separate “the bad ones” looked so much easier as a well-off white person in the 70s and 80s, hell even the 90s.

    Can’t really distinguish them anymore.

    I’d say either the punisher would recognize that police forces nowadays need completely demolished and rebuilt from the ground up, or he’s just a poser who doesn’t actually hate corruption, he just dislikes seeing upsetting news on TV.
