I want to pet a cactus but can't because I don't have one
Because there arent many posts like this for transfems here are your reminders to...
Take your estrogen/progesterone! Refill your prescription if you ran out/will run out soon!
Stop tucking if you're experiencing pain, numbness, etc., or have been tucking too long!
Hydrate! Even if you aren't thirsty, if it's been more than a few hours since you drank something, please do!
Be kind to yourself! No matter where you are on your trans journey, know that you are valid and loved. ♡
The scary part is that you could know one or even met one briefly and wouldn't be even known
She knew him for 20 years. He worked as a police officer. 90 days as a punishment is such a pathetic sentence. Total rubbish. this guy is evil and who knows how many victims of his assaults have stayed unknown. What a scums serve in the law enforcement…

I for one think this is absolutely fantastic and we should have more than one LGBTQIA+ flag if need be
It is perfect!
I look at him respectfully.....
Polyamorous relationships are good
this might be a little different, but today I am here to expose vile behavior of a white tiktok user that has gained 30,000 followers on harassing Korean men, and getting away with it by trying to appear/be cute
although she’s deleted most of her videos by now (she probably got called out before or received rightful backlash), her account used to be full of proof of such behavior, and she recently went back to posting similar content (does she think people forgot?)
grabbing random people you don’t even know and forcing your touch and hugs on them is sexual harassment and abuse
her @ is 8_alesha
this screenshot of her account was sent to me, and that’s how I became aware of her vile behavior
she’s catering to her fellow koreaboo young audience by continuing on to do stuff like this, and I don’t think she should be allowed to get away with it anymore
before she deletes her most recents, here she is grabbing a random boy on the streets, making him uncomfortable, posing with him and trying to appear cute while he is trying to get away
here’s another example - it’s clear that the boys and men in her videos don’t know how to react and are uncomfortable, but she’s getting away with everything because she knows they’re all too polite to make a scene and are caught off guard
this is so messed up
does anyone have any idea what can be done? can her account be reported? I’ve heard this kind of behavior is a trend among some white tiktokers living in Korea and Japan and that they have a niche audience of kids who eat this up, which is so messed up, we should not be normalizing this kind of abhorrent behavior
