THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊

People are so proud of their relationship to time. I think that’s charming. And very funny. Like, oh good for you, Father Time kisses you on the forehead and tucks you in every night? That’s so cool, man.
