The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.
The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Self portrait number 7 in my annual series!
I’ve been making these yearly portraits ever since I realised I was trans in 2018.
I started 2024 with huge amounts of fear and self doubt and slowly learned that I deserve to be kind to myself (thanks, therapy).

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents.
Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.
