1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.

A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.

It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

Our latest story here:
Nationwide Trans Youth Care Ban Imminent As Trump Admin Announces "Nuclear Option" Federal Rule
The new federal rule formalizes previous threats to hospitals to pull Medicaid funding, and represents a significant legal stretch by this administration.

Any Democrat who thinks it's appropriate to "find common ground" with the Republicans on issues like high school sports teams is negotiating with a political party that does not believe trans people should exist. This policy will kill people, so maybe stop wringing your hands about volleyball.

9. History is littered with examples of marginalized groups whose movement was curtailed as a precursor to broader persecution. Lawmakers, activists, and allies must recognize the gravity of this moment—before it’s too late.

I have feelings about AI & the web & my experience being trans "in tech" in 2025 - so I screamed some thoughts onto my personal web log.

I hope for all of us a more queer & humane future. Keep building communities & dreaming better paths.

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

do you live in st louis/Eastern Missouri and want to positively impact local trans youth AND get cookies?

I have great news:
Anderson: Andy is a sophomore in high school. He plays cello and guitar and participates in the orchestra and jazz band at school. He is a well-loved leader in his troop and his troop was very kind and accepting when he came out.

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

Going in to 2025, its important that you *actually own* the queer and trans literature you consume. That's why for ebooks you should always look for DRM-free storefronts like Itch, or an author/publisher's website, where you can buy a downloadable .epub you can read anywhere, and is yours forever
BTW:

When you make purchases on Itch, the files are yours to keep forever. You aren't "licensing" it; Amazon can't delete it from your library.

YOU are part of preserving transfeminine literature, YOU are part of the movement preventing digital book burnings. YOU are fighting censorship & erasure
For absolutely no reason at all, here are some awesome transfeminine lit books you can get DRM-free on Itch. Many of these books were nominations for the Transfeminine Review Awards or were written by authors who had other books nominated!
