Enough of trans day of visibility. Visibility gets trans folks killed. Give us trans day of safety. Trans day of acceptance. Hell, trans day of buy us a pizza. Anything other than putting a spotlight on us so transphobes know exactly where to shoot.
aside from the aforementioned affection towards snakes, i also hold a great deal of fondness in my heart for hollow knight (i am extremely normal™ about collector), rain world (miros birds are the best creature i will not be accepting criticism on this), command and conquer red alert 2 (kirov reporting), in stars and time (one must imagine sisyphus stuck in a time loop), and about a million other things.
i played through slay the princess and spent the whole game pretty much completely ignoring her in favor of dicking around with the narrator (there is no good ending because the narrator always dies) and the voices (contrarian is the best one), which probably says a lot about me (i am aromantic asexual (this will not stop me from rebugging horny™ shit that i am tangentially interested in)).
fuck it i'm a girl now (still he/they tho)
i also like to draw and make games & shit.

deeply misguided post. the point isn't "you should be visible even if it's physically unsafe for you!", it's "visibility is important because it 1. helps other trans and questioning ppl see that others have made it and they can too and 2. that trans people exist, that we're everywhere and could even be people you know and love, and we refuse to go away"
if standing up and asserting our right to exist despite unceasing efforts to force us back into the closet is painting a target on ourselves, do you really think going back to the era where we were viewed exclusively as degenerate freaks on the absolute margins of society, people who no self-respecting person would ever love or respect or associate themselves with, would be better? because that's what the opposite of visibility is - like it or not, making people realize that trans people are just people like anyone else is a necessary pre-condition for acceptance.
