So as a trans ace person who writes about a trans ace (space) wizard, can I be JKR’s arch nemesis?

I had another comment that if the patriarchy didn’t exist, we’d be a matriarchy and better for it.
But that’s swapping one imperfect system for another. Any system that puts any gender above others and excludes those outside the binary is still only good for one group.
It all must be dismantled.

I just passed 750,000 words written so far in The Stars and Green Magics series (halfway into Book 8). That’s 750,000 words of genderfluid kings ruling kingdoms and sapphic rival princesses and trans man space mages.✨I started serializing this in 2021 as I wrote it. Hi 2021 me, thank you. ❤️

My 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ romantasy with a princess who disguises as a man to take down her unwanted betrothed (but the bi king falls for her as a man, and she has a genderfluid awakening) went viral this week on Tiktok, and I sold out of books twice and working on the third time.

Working on a new thing tonight, something I haven't really talked about before, a novella about trans angels fighting and loving and saving each other against a long cosmic war. Rereading my first draft right now and feeling this in my soul. (It'll be out when it's out, this one's therapy ❤️)

- Packed and shipped 10 book orders
- Proofed and posted an early access ebook to Bookfunnel & Patreon
- Watched 3 Andromeda episodes

I'm seven chonky books deep in my queer space fantasy series and the fantasy is fantasying hard and the resonance is hitting and there is *nothing* like pulling together threads you've been weaving for years into this book's finale. Absolutely nothing. (I say this every book. It's true every time.)

As tempting as the jolly, candy-like emergency depressurization button may be, please don't press it; instead, press the button that launches you into this week's story, "Steadyboi After the Apocalypse" by @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social! That'll be better for everyone, especially the maintenance staff.
Escape Pod 979: Steadyboi After the Apocalypse
You trudge through another wasteland town, sticking to the narrow roads, trying not to make the potholes deeper or the dust clouds thicker, but it’s hard when you’re a hulking robot built for a war…

So I'm a nonbinary trans author thinking about how Booktok has created a culture around the Booktok girlies. And how I, as a trans person with no girly in me whatsoever, twinge and feel on the outside every time I hear that. (Buckle up, long 🧵)

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:
“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."
Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

So they want us to be scared, but we'll push through.
They want us to make ourselves small but we overshadow them and they know it.
They want us to hide, to disappear, but we are every rainbow color and they can't hide from that.
We are mirrors.
We are blazing.

So I've spent this week in just intense emotional decision making because of the Meta censorship of my queer author business. AND I've ended up making these choices, which I think will be, in the end, very good for me and my reader community.
1) I'm going to put queer references back UP on my site

Why TIktok matters- a 🧵
1) I’ve been building my author platform since 2019. At first, I was only on FB, but eventually joined IG and Twitter. I found no success any of those places, and wasn’t keen to join another social media I’d have to keep up with. Plus I had no idea how to make video content.
