Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

And! A lot of these expenses have doubled and tripled since the pandemic. Be kind to the artists, authors, crafters, zine makers, etc you meet. 💖
Adjacent to this, more people need to know that artists, authors, zine makers, etc, are all paying for their tables (and stock, hotels, travel, food) to vend at conventions. They aren't staff, they aren't earning an hourly wage to be there, they're paying to be there.
i didn't realize people didn't know, but as far as I'm aware, yes, hugos and nebulas finalists do still have to pay to attend the award ceremony
