I am a 70-something Queer. (Trans woman and lesbian). My writing and my art help keep me sane in a world that has gone further south than I would have believed possible a decade ago. You can find me at elbethe.net.

And yet, de-transitioner Keira Bell would insist that a lack of breasts, permanently changed voice and facial hair is not equally painful for transgirls.

Yes, Keira, some people make mistakes, but 99% of the transpeople in this world are happy just to be themselves.

Good on you.

Always the unreachable that is most desirable - until it is achieved. This is just one of the reasons I love the song 'Agony' from "Into the Woods". (OK, I love the whole thing, including the witch. Especially the witch. And the prince saying, "I was raised to be charming, not sincere...")

I believe that the only hope for the Dems is internal resistance. I will not give money to the party, but to those who stand for what I believe in. People like this get my money, my vote.

Without more people like them, there's no hope.

Which suddenly makes it clear to me why some anti-trans types are claiming that gender dysphoria is a result of trauma. It's a nice trick: the trauma of those denied GAC becomes, not the result of denied care, but the cause of the condition requiring it.

Well, don't that just figure. Can't even use "I was typing fast" as an excuse. Just didn't really proof it. (Obviously)

Sadly, while the Toronto Police appear to be very Trans-friendly (or at least, -aware) there is no Transgender Protection Unit or this likely wouldn't have been parody.

The Marines, are, I think, bracing the ICE officers to help them stand up to a charge by a large group of people.
