Thing explainer and #TeamRhetoric technical writing scholar who loves explaining trans science! ⚢. Opinions mine.

Don't crack eggs. Build nests.

Kindness is a hard choice worth making.

I write Stained Glass Woman!

Hi! I'm a technical writing professor with specializations in biomedical communication, page design, and trans stuff, and I do Thing Explainers on all that.

This is a thread of some of my bigger pieces, for anyone stumbling across my profile for the first time!

2025 can suck a big bag of dicks. This year has been *awful*.

"How could Alane ever be into a guy that turns into a woman?"

Alane: *Slowly growing bisexual smile as she fantasizes about increasingly elaborate "encounters" where she uses hot and cold water at different parts of the "session".

All that "pervert" accusing comes from somewhere, I guarantee.

If I didn't know then what I do now, I absolutely would have opted to magically be a cis man (this isn't possible, don't try it without a magic macguffin)

Knowing what I know now, I would have transitioned years ago. It's amazing. If you're thinking about it, know that cis people don't consider it

Lmao, and uhh... closer to a mood than I'd like to admit. Trade out the sinister woman for adoring femme, for one. 🤭
It's so fucked up that Santa didn't get me "Being turned into a bimbo trophy wife to a rich sinister woman" for Christmas 😔😔😔

This year for Christmas, if you've been living in the closet or nervously questioning your gender, remember that you deserve to have your Christmas wishes come true too.

Give yourself the gift of freedom, of joy, this year. 💜🎄🏳️‍⚧️

Playing Wingspan with a transfem friend for the first time. She asks me, with an earnest expression and just a hint of a twinkle in her eye:

"Hey, Zoe, could you explain tucking to me?"

Fucking *lost it*.

After all, a really big tuck is valuable at the end of the game.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The worst part of being a college writing instructor is that reading amateur or even early-career pro work from writers becomes basically impossible to properly enjoy. You read the tells, know they're still refining their craft, and suddenly you're in teacher mode whether you want to be or not. 😤

So like... this seems silly at first glance, but legit? This is so real. All those moments in life we're embarrassed of, but which lowkey made us who we are. And shame only hurts us.

So... I'll go first.

When I was 13, I stumbled across an OAV called Jungle De Ikou. My world shattered.
"this isn't lore! this isn't lore!" i continue to insist as i'm slowly forced to admit it's a core moment that defined my entire existence

Gosh dang it, I have not been sleeping well for a while, and I am sick and tired of 6-7 hour sleeps at this point. 😤

Ten thousand fucking percent.

Like, I get it. I get that you're despairing. Shit is rough. But skeeting "we're so fucked" ten times a day accomplishes nothing, alleviates nothing, and contributes to learned helplessness.

In all seriousness, if you feel that welling up? Log off. You need a break.
Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.
I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

I love stories.

In words, in pictures, aloud, doesn't matter.

Whisper them to me in confidence, post it on social media, tell it in your tight five, doesn't matter.

Agonized or improvised, doesn't matter.

Tell me about you, tell me about your OC, doesn't matter.

Tell me your stories.
Hating things is for chumps. Tell me about what you LOVE. And why. And what it means to you. I love hearing about people's passions. I don't give a good gotdamn about what you hate. 🖤

If so, does this mean that bimbo gals are just transfems who took the phrase "girl's girl" too literally?
Puppygirls are mostly just transfemmes who took the phrase “working like a dog” too literally.

Sometimes, things break the way you need them to, when you need them to. B- just got a new job, so we're going out to celebrate.

Why did you transition, wrong answers only.

My research had come to a dead end, so I needed a new area to work in.
Why did you transition, wrong answers only.

I just really wanted underwire to be a part of my life.
Why did you transition, wrong answers only.

Studies have shown that children with two moms are higher achievers.

Over-30 selfie thread!

I'm 40 here, almost 41. Transition has been pretty cool, I'd say.

I wonder what I'm doing on social media sometimes. And then I see posts like this.

Being out isn't just for myself. I hope that by being out, fierce, and happy, online and in real life, I can change some minds. And maybe some lives.

May you all have a joyous and proud holiday!

❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
To every out trans person:

Your visibility didn’t just show me who you are. It showed me that it’s possible to be exactly who I am too.

Thank you for providing the roadmap that’s helping all of us find our way.

I had Yule with my found family this week, and it was a wonderful time with sloppy joes nachos!
It’s Trans Joy Tuesday again! And let’s make it holiday themed.

For all the trans people out there, please share something happy going on with you, especially for the holidays.

But whatever it is, please share your joy and drown out the bad! 🏳️‍⚧️

It was always only about destroying a trans woman and turning manufactured outrage into a career in media.

This is the message: they can destroy any trans person they want on a whim, for nothing more than daring to exist and demand to be treated with dignity.
