An essay I stole, and wanted people to read: (margaretkilljoy.substack.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by Daxter101 to c/mtf

A user named Nissa, some hours ago, posted the link to this essay as part of a comment, in this very community.

When I read it, it really fucking resonated with me, and I thought that it really deserved to be its own post in this community.

Nissa (or anyone else), do tell me if you, for any reason, want me to take down this post.

(By "you" you might mean kaseki, not me, I'm not the OP of the post she commented on, but the emotion is appreciated <3)

"You" is probably me. I replied to her comment, saying how that blog post made me feel validated and had me crying in the office.

[-] brookedSmile 2 points 3 weeks ago

I like to use "goddess look" instead of the other terms. Plenty of really cute trans women are visibly trans.

Another chance to shill for Margaret <3

Also check out her music:

Black metal version

Electronic version

And her books! (I fucking love her books)

In British slang, if you called someone a brick, you meant a solid, dependable person. If you go onto Google Books and search for "You're a brick", you'll find lots of examples, applied to men and women.

It comes from someone asking where the walls of Sparta were, and Lycurgus pointing at the army, saying "Behold the walls of Sparta, every man a brick".

Margaret is awesome! I love this essay, and I reread it often. I’m so happy to see it resonating with and helping others too 😊
