I keep seeing these videos by trans guys about how trans women are dominating trans advocacy because of socialisation and honestly it's a discredit to the numerous trans men who are involved daily in pragmatic community rooted activism every day without getting involved in promoting transmisogyny.

I started a substack to write reviews because I've been reading so much I'm talking my friends' ears off - here's a roundup including Black Flame by Gretchen Felker-Martin, My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness by Nagata Kabi, and Ducks by Kate Beaton
A No-Knead Batch of Reviews

I think Sugar's draw towards uncomfortable interpersonal dynamics will mesh SO well with the Jansson's writing!! Took me a second to digest but I'm actually excited about this

One of the difficult parts of researching medical abuses of trans patients is trying to relate the often evasive and euphemistic documentation left by practitioners to the vividly horrifying experiences related by survivors. This article is remarkable
An autoethnographic critique of a past report of inpatient psychiatric treatment for gender diverse children
Contrary to ongoing representations of efficacy, “therapy” that aimed to change or suppress a gender diverse child served to delay self-acceptance for two decades and caused long term harm

There are lots of more insidious forms where they don't immediately confront clients that way but wait a few weeks to foster trust, but I think it's important to lay out clearly where the red lines are - gaslighting, being made to distrust your own feelings, being disrespected in your experiences.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.

it's the same thing. "listen to british doctors, british scientists, the nhs". he's not invoking the international consensus that paracetamol is fine but a kind of nationalism that he also used to hold up the cass review over international studies.
Wes Streeting asking people to listen to the experts when it comes to decisions about child healthcare rather than rightwing scaremongering, is it?

The frequent desire to try and contrasts trans people's oppression with racialised abuse reinforces a white centric trans advocacy and at the same time leads us away from understanding that govt racism helps strengthen the risk of govt transphobia and vice versa.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
