My friend Alyson once said "Trans women don't tell ghost stories around the campfire, we just talk about our childhoods"

I want every non transfem person to sit and think about what it means that almost every single transfem I know has more than one horror story and will treat it like it's normal

Oops. Just saw it in the form instructions…. Don’t mind me… I’m sick 🤒

This is my daily struggle. I hate the publishing pit

Can we submit more than one book? I have a complete duology I'd like to submit

I call it the 1-strike rule, and it makes things a lot nicer here

Just an endless parade of 'don't forget! Lots of people want you dead and the rest of us don't give a fuck :)'

I feel your pain

I made it to college before I ever had a teacher pronounce my name correctly on the first try. At least half of why I use a pen name is that no one can ever say my name when written or spell my name when heard

Just as another data point, this is exactly the reason I created versesrpg.com … to act as a system foundation for my own worlds & IP

And as an open-source, generic, settings-agnostic system published under a CC BY 4.0 license, there aren’t many more open systems 😅

Also, I would not trust the NYT to protect anonymity if the feds or state officials came with a subpoena to reveal sources so they could go after those parents. They'd fold faster than a cheap suit. NYTs reporters aren't going to risk jail to protect a trans kid.
