I just get the ick when I see people suddenly embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene and eulogizing Dick Cheney.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," is a poor philosophy to live by, because it means you're ignoring past bad behavior.

Be better than that. Be principled and pick your friends carefully.

IN MEMORIAM: Girllalala

Sadly, trans Tik Tok influencer, Girllalala, has been murdered by her boyfriend.

Even as we honor our dead this Transgender Week of Awareness, the death of trans people at the hands of others continues.

TO ALL CIS GUYS CLOGGING UP MY DMS...

I'm flattered by your attention, but I'm a sapphic trans woman, meaning I'm ONLY attracted to other trans women.

However, any trans women in SE Michigan can HMU anytime! *wink, wink*

MICHIGAN SCHOOLS TO TEACH GENDER IDENTITY

The Michigan State Board of Education approved new rules that will allow schools to teach LGBTQ+ sex information.

This includes the matter of sexual identity. And of course, conservatives are outraged.

REMEMBERING THE TRANSGENDER REMEMBRANCE DAY

The most solemn day on a trans person's calendar is the International Transgender Day of Remembrance.

I wrote an article about Chanelle Pickett, the trans woman whose death led to the creation of this day:

A QUESTION FOR THE BLUESKY MINDHIVE

I'm seeking a publisher, either print or online, who publishes transgender subject material.

I'm an established author under my deadname, but my publisher in that world won't touch a trans author.

Any suggestions or links are greatly appreciated.

TRANS ACTIVISTS: 1970

In 1970, in response to transgender people being excluded from other gay organizations, Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson and others formed the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.).

They fought for us then. Never forget as we continue the fight today!
