Bisexual Awareness Day thoughts..… So bisexuality is about liking people of the same gender and different genders as you and it acknowledges that there are more than 2 genders (and sexes) but because of the hold of the fallacious binary, most people think it’s just being into men and women.

If you’re distressed watching the transphobic nightmare unfold, a great way to support trans people is to become a penpal to an imprisoned trans person.

Broadway’s first trans man casting director, Charlie Hano, explains how many trans men there are in Broadway productions (hint: it’s not many)

All the way to Manila in the early 90s. Learned to read from it… Though maybe dyslexic but nobody knew or cared about that then over there.

To my cis media colleagues:

Trans people are in danger and we need BETTER MEDIA COVERAGE.

Part of how that happens is you start letting trans professionals do the jobs of reporting and editing abt ourselves.

Please, let me help you make your coverage better:

Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out.

Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it.

This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights.

Take it here:

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.

“CDC researchers were instructed to remove references to or mentions of a list of forbidden terms: “Gender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people, LGBT, transsexual, non-binary, nonbinary, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female.””

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

Don't you think today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks?

I do.

#HIV rates are spiking in #Philippines (& other areas) due to lack of sex ed, adequate #PrEP,& deep religious roots. We must continue to fight for #PrEP4All & encourage condom use for those w/o access. I’ll use my platform to educate when governments won’t! www.npr.org/sections/goa...

it's been super-fucking frustrating lately that cis ppl en masse are op-eding & podcasting & pontificating about trans ppl amongst themselves with little to no input from us. I wanted to write about that, but realized I already did back in 2003. here is that piece: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ7T...

Nailed it.

Private company buys a public good. A few years go by and the company decides the public good is no longer worthwhile; the public suffers as a result.

This story arc is way too common in modern society.

If being a trans woman of colour at this moment in history has taught me anything, it's that identity politics are necessary for understanding the violence, exploitation & deprivation leveled against particular groups & also identity politics are insufficient on their own as a response to fascism
