Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Sarah McBride just giving up already is so bleak. Crushingly disappointing. I guess I take back what I said 😞

Jfc cis people, we really fucking need you on this one. Barring people from accessing bathroom facilities is barring people from public life, and if they succeed here they’re going to move on to barring them from every other possible place.

Call your reps please.
Nancy Mace has introduced a federal bathroom ban which would ban trans people from bathrooms in DCA and Dulles airports, national park bathrooms, museum bathrooms, and all federal building bathrooms.

Well said! Every attack on trans people is an effort to both:
- manufacture rage for distraction/fundraising purposes
- drive trans people out of public life

And the logistics of the policies always boil down to Republicans making cis women less safe while simultaneously blaming trans people.
"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

No matter where you are in your trans-ness, if you are feeling despair, I cannot recommend enough engaging with the writings and histories of our elders who lived our lives before the 21st Century. It is both not as dark as you think and tougher than you think. And it will give you something.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

And this is why authors are always asking you to preorder.
When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:

1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

not getting over this. the fact that disney tried to shelve this kind of message actually upsets me. this is the kind of message trans youth needs and is especially important now.

By "transfem book" I mean book with a transfeminine main character.
