This is a really important piece from @joyurcaba.bsky.social. Most people think that the government's restrictions on health care for trans people was limited to minors (which has been the government's messaging). It's not, and people need to know about it.

I just don't know anyone can have faith in justice prevailing atm. Constantly, over and over again, the most brazenly unjust, irrational bullshit thing happens and then we just move onto the next one

For more than a decade, trans folks have reported that the eventual goal of TERFs and "gender critical" people was, in their own words, the creation of a world in which it was impossible to transition and the elimination of all out trans people. For that, we have been called hysterical & ignored.

Rise of The Machines

I've heard lots of good jokes about trans people...generally from and by trans people. The key thing is those jokes are based in actual knowledge about the trans experience and foibles of daily life as opposed to mean-spirited, ignorant and boring attempts to join a moral panic.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

The reason far-right "Christians" decided to target trans people and trans children in particular after they lost the gay marriage fight is precisely because there are far fewer trans people. They haven't made a secret of this. It's a path into everything else they want.

time to go to bluesky and post on bluesky about how nobody goes to bluesky and bluesky is empty and dying and then block everybody on bluesky who disagrees with my take about bluesky

This is about Scott Cawthon but can equally apply to Brandon Sanderson - you can say nice things about LGBTQ+ people all you like, but if you're actively funding a queerphobic organisation you're only pinkwashing the blood on your hands.

The new Gundam Hathaway movie was great and I hope Conan O’Brien is in the dub

I keep my Godzilla bag packed with the essentials

try—whatever that means to you. try a social transition. try a medical one. try both. take a first tiny step online with strangers; take a first tiny step with just with the people you trust. you owe it to not just yourself but the people you love to be *all* of you in the world.

I usually feel too dysphoric for them, but I found a dress I like!

Jen did great work actually reaching out to these reps to ask them why the fuck they’re selling us out, so my anger is absolutely not at her. But holy shit what the fuck is the point of an equality caucus? At least the republicans have enough of a spine to tell me to my face they want to kill us

don’t worry everyone i’ve determined exactly what trans literature is and does

Saw a beaver at the park :3

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

I think a good drag name if you’re in Minneapolis would be Nipples St. Paul

I don't think most people have even tried to grasp how it feels for trans people to be segregated, hunted, betrayed by allies, met with silence and neutrality by friends & family, and then wake up every single day to see articles and polls asking if there's a Centrist Solution to the Trans Problem.

Trans kids just want to live man. Mine came home today and announced that they now have twenty-SIX friends bc a new kid joined their class and they can’t remember his name but they’re sure he’s nice. Anyway. Call your reps I guess but also start beating asses, I’m all the way done with this shit

“leftists are trying to spoil elections by purity testing candidates over trans rights!!” no man our rights are being taken away so we want to vote for people who will stop it. Not everything is a 3D chess political masterstroke you GW flunkie, Beltway drunk driver, lanyard wearing, dork ass loser

In addition to weapons, I also draw and design monsters! I would love to do this more often for people. If you have a monster you would like to see brought to life, please let me know!

as soon as you actually try to make art in earnest it makes you so understanding and forgiving of everything else that gets made. every publishing or release is a miracle ordained by the holy spirit. I know brushes with death happened to get it to the public. what more can I ask other than you live.

I'm really going to miss Destiny 2. I met so many cool trans friends through it, because, if you wanted to raid, running together was the best way to avoid chuds. Here's one of my favorite moments from the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlxL...

Check your local library to see if they offer Transmuted by Eve Harms on audiobook!

"don't vote for cops" is some of the best and most broadly applicable electoral advice you'll ever get

if you are a trans reader of mine and you struggle to explain to cis family and friends why you hurt so much lately I wrote this so you can send it to them. I feel like we know this pain intimately but I want everyone to understand it, because we are going to need help if it’s ever going to stop.

And openly invite and accept trans refugees.

I've recorded a new narration sample for my website. It's part of the introduction to It Came From the Closet by Joe Vallese. Let me know what you think! youtube.com/watch?v=Td5qGDUix5I&feature=youtu.be

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Latest gunpla came out well! Dunno what it’s from but it’s called Ashsavior. I used to be in a huge gunpla building group with all trans women, but everybody hooked up with each other and then all fell out so it’s just me and my wife now 😅

Look at the smile on this guy

The reasoning in this decision is hopelessly naive. Reed O'Connor is now essentially the most powerful man in the country because the federal executive branch can now just go to him for a rubber stamped decision that carries the weight of the judicial branch.

personally I think anyone should be able to change their name for any reason ever and society should just adapt for that. you will not change my mind

If you care even an iota about the trans community you don't want to see us stripped of rights that were uncontroversial as recently as 2020. This is not a litmus test or a purity test, it's an honesty test.

An example of how the term LGBTQ gets used in establishment media to flatten and obscure. Frank was notoriously hostile to trans rights, and wasn't particularly keen on queer communities broadly outside a swath of gentry white cis gays. The main trail he blazed was for his own power.

In case you've ever wondered what it's like to be trans in 2026: friends are texting each other today to be safe again, as we do every week, because the richest man in the world is yet again boosting false claims that neo-Nazis who attacked the Mosque were trans and there's a conspiracy to hide it.

this is a masterpiece

Do people even know about the COGIATI these days? Back in the 90s, when it was harder to find trans community, this wild test was one of the 1st things you’d find Are you good at math? Sorry, not trans. Can you tell the direction a sound’s coming from? Not trans www.transsexual.org/cogiati_engl...

I was gonna make a cogiati maru joke but a quick search shows that lots of trans women have and i love that for us. I’m glad some good came out of that particular collective trauma

Do any other trans women still carry around the ghost of who they thought they had to be to get past medical gatekeepers? I remember trying to convince myself of stories of loving dolls or being trans “in the right way” to fit the mold that would get me access to care, and its weird to let that go

Millennial eggs really bemoan it being "too late to transition." But in reality us millennials are all stuck in our 20s because capitalism has died three deaths in our lifetime alone.

lighting a candle for all trans people to live fucking long lives and get old as fuck and happy and comfortable and satisfied

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

In Kansas, a judge looked at the medical evidence on gender-affirming care and found the evidence simply does not support the state ban on these treatments. Don't believe the propaganda. Youth trans care is not a particularly tricky or nuanced medical question. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Trans girls with glasses 😅

Saw this at the bookstore and had to buy it 😅
