Today I’ll be sitting with my 100% affirming kin because in my private space that’s non negotiable!

If alienation was a strategy that worked - we would have had world peace by now.

This right here is my life everyday! It’s brutal to have to be grateful to allies who are still transphobic.

It’s a mental model - not an action!
It is entirely possible to support trans rights generally and in very important and significant ways (job security, access to transition care*, housing non-discrimination, etc...) while still working from an essentially transphobic paradigm.

I've received so many death and bomb threats, I have a folder in my email for them. But I'm told by the New York Times that my criticism of antitrans people is the real sin.

This purposeful decontexualization of the violence and threats trans people face is to mask barbarism in a plea for civility.

just a reminder:
there are christians who identify as queer! how you deal with that is the difference between you being an a#@hole or not.

Had a CT scan today - it looked like an MRI machine. I’m so confused.

Checking out wedding venues with my wife this morning

Our vows were “to be your lawful husband…” that’s not working for me anymore.

Queerness is not just our sexuality

It’s our worldview

And if you ask me, it’s a darn attractive worldview that can help a lot of non queer folks embrace uncertainty as something beautiful!
