“When [my tween] socially transitioned in the second grade, years ago now, other kids in the class didn’t blink an eye. Zero bullying. Now bullies run the show—in dominant online spaces in our discipline, in our state legislature, in the U.S. government.” @beegs1.bsky.social #beingtransinphilosophy

I'm very excited that this edited volume I co-edited with Patrick Connolly and Sandy Goldberg has FINALLY come out!

The book is ridiculously expensive unfortunately, but it IS available through many university libraries via OUP online.

As an aside, my final philosophy paper was, in part, focused on how the taping together of egg shells can happen and what some trans people need in order to act on our desires, though admittedly not written with that personal narrative. philpapers.org/rec/HERFTM

Starting to read trans/rad/femme (by @taliabhatt.itch.io) with @illocutie.bsky.social. I'm quite sympathetic to the underlying goal, as is evident in my own work, but the preface of finding pre-transition comfort in radical feminism is deeply relatable.

"normal family month" is so swagless I have to laugh
'Natural Family Month is an initiative of the Natural Family Foundation (NFF), a Westerville, Ohio-based group – not an official nonprofit – that is attempting to “return the Natural Family to its rightful place as the Foundation of our American culture.”'

They're actually doing Straight Pride
Ohio Republicans introduce bill to designate month honoring heterosexual married families
The group behind the legislation says that each family must have “a clear male leader and that leader must come from the family's lineage.”

I do wish it was better understood by now—especially by folks in the media—that these "warnings" from large AI corporations in fact function as "advertisements"

I have to write in order to stay in my phd program, but academic philosophy doesn't feel like it's worth doing anymore, so I can't. And yet, I can't envision myself doing anything else either, so I'm kinda just waiting for things to end. So much time and talent wasted, what a wretched life to live!
