the only regret with transitioning i have is that i didn’t act on it sooner even though it’s what i wanted. in the last decade we finally got a point where it was socially acceptable for people to transition younger, and they’re trying to take that away and it breaks my heart

reading the HHS "gender dysphoria report" summary and this is some truly insidious shit. sure, all the studies SAY the kids are happier, but we bet they aren't actually. they're all hopped up on something we bet probably

On this day in 1886, Lucy Parsons, a Black anarchist born into slavery, marched with her children at the front of one of the largest labor marches in US history, as workers across the country demanded the eight hour day. Two days later, striking workers were shot.

When I talk about transphobia operating on the logics of abuse scaled up to the communal or societal level, this is what I mean.

"Look how much it sucks to be trans, because I made it that way. You should just desist, because if you insist on it, I'm going to have to hurt you so much more."
I'm not kidding. That's the fucking argument. "Kids will be harmed by the policy we rammed through once they grow up, so do conversion therapy on them."

it’s been two years since I wrote my final TDOV piece begging cis people to give a shit about us and it’s only gotten worse since then, which feels Not Great www.businessinsider.com/trans-day-of...
As a trans woman, I feel more unsafe than ever. We need more than Trans Day of Visibility — we need help.
"This will be the last time I write a Trans Day of Visibility story," Victoria Scott writes. "We've reached the limits of awareness. We need action."

Good encapsulation of both the egg prime directive and "validity" politics.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies
The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

You know i think the whole "disco elysium but it's about a witch in a cozy cottage looking for her cat" concept actually works, as long as the witch is still Harry Dubois

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

What began as a simple reading list of forthcoming Black transfemme novels blossomed into a full critique of White supremacist publishing, Black literary erasure, and the supplementarity of the Black transfemme body as text 🖤
Black Transfemme Literary Springtime
2025 is the best year for Black transfeminine fiction ever. So why is nobody talking about it?

seen a sentiment from a few people now expressing or implying a desire to transition but feeling unable due to the current political climate. while fear of the future is completely reasonable, waiting for a "good time to transition" will waste your life. it will never not feel scary at first

What a fucked up thing to astroturf. It just goes to show that saving our books is something we should all be doing.

Spreading our words so far and wide, that no fire will ever burn them all.
Nah wait a different blog just posted the same fucking paragraph.

The URL for the first was "mugglemoneymatters" and now this one is "Skeptic Society Magazine."

Do mfs really think we don't notice this fucking shit? I get pingback on links 🙄

Wake up

Go through an emotional and physical meat grinder for 10-12 hours, hope you smiled enough while reading all the ways the government means to kill you

Eat dinner

Lay in bed thinking about all the texts you can't bring yourself to answer

Sleep

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

but in the meantime, fucking let the trans girl with stubble work front of house, and tell anyone who complains to fix their hearts or die.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
