🎼Give us the peace of vision clear
to see each other's good, our own,
to joy and suffer not alone:
the Love that casts aside all fear.

So many government attacks on the trans community are happening in silence. . .
Break the silence
I cried on my way to work this morning for the first time in months.

I'm really terrible at actually being on this app . . . sorry about that. Here is my latest substack, anyway: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share.
These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

This morning while my older kiddo was getting ready for school, I saw that this book was arriving today. . . So I talked to her about how she didn’t need to panic if she sees it, that it is for my school project. And while that’s true . . . My project is an autoethnography. And I hate this.

Yesterday in the middle of class, I rushed to grab the baked potato from the air fryer and I dropped an entire glass container of my favorite cheesy sauce. Whole thing shatters. And I am devastated I have no more cheesy sauce (not to mention my IKEA container — we don’t have IKEA here)

Had a moment of shame tonight for this ordained pastor who has worked for a synagogue . . . Daughter was asking about stories in Judges, and I connected (for the first time) that Jael and Yael are the same name. So many people—and their parents—just revealed their depth of awesomeness & badassery

When I was in college, I dealt with abdominal pain that grew into dizziness and memory loss. For over 6 months, I was sent to every manner of specialist for testing. Eventually I was diagnosed with anxiety. I learned tips and tricks to help deal . . . that pain is back today

So it turns out choosing the present day as a doctoral thesis project is expensive. My bookshop wishlist (for THIS round) is roughly $170 -- since most of the books are recently published, buying used isn't an option.

Are there any books yet on trans people/families fleeing? Or any (recent) great books on politics relating to trans folks? (I know there are tons of great articles -- looking for a few more full-length books for my doctoral project)

The constitutional crisis is here and people don't care because it only affects incarcerated trans women so far.
This is many things. One of those things is an absolute condemnation of the Evangelical Church to whom Christ will say on that day "Depart from me; I never knew you".

We've confirmed the US Bureau of Prisons has transferred trans women to men's prisons despite three court rulings blocking Trump's executive order
