also, please focus on the bills that are actually going to be voted on in the Senate would also recommend giving section numbers bsky.app/profile/rite...

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

No, supporting trans rights doesn’t cost elections! “43 percent of voters were more likely to vote for a candidate who stands up for transgender people. Just 21 percent of voters would be less likely to support a candidate who supports trans rights.”

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

Hey if you want an adult, queer fantasy romance that inverts this trope and digs into whether the system can be saved at all, can I introduce you to THE AGE OF BLOOD? Book 1 -- MISTRESS OF LIES -- is currently on sale for $2.99 in ebook! www.amazon.com/Mistress-Lie...

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

hey, there's a thread linked below about why this shutdown matters for trans people specifically & why senate democrats need to hear that, yes, a shutdown is worth it & people only don't hate you when you actually fight for something. read @ericmgarcia.bsky.social; read the thread. make some calls.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

Oooh, this was a good one! Murky morals, machinations, class struggle, blood magic, and extremely messy queers.

So, for reasons unknown to me, MISTRESS OF LIES is currently on sale for $2.99 in ebook on all the major platforms. Now is a really great time to grab this gothic fantasy romance and support a trans author, if you're into vampires, murder, and kissing!

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

YWMTBH is an INSTANT BESTSELLER! In this day and age, a horror novel BY and ABOUT a disabled trans man - tackling pregnancy as violence, the necessity of abortion, and the right to CHOOSE - hitting a list? It feels like a miracle. Everyone, thank you so much 🪱

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

FELLOW ROMANCE AUTHORS THIS INCLUDES YOU

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

Me at the end of the FIRE EMBLEM: FORTUNE'S WEAVE trailer

you should buy your trans friends coffee or something today

If you've been easing up on pressuring these freaks or haven't cared yet because you're not a visual novel dev getting erased from itch, Please observe how ridiculous "fantasy (cat ears, fairies, ETC)" is like putting "etc" after fantasy is WILD

Hello, I'm the writer of queer gothic fantasy that follows a blood mage spymaster as she recruits a noble bastard with a terrible gift to hunt down a magical serial killer for the vampiric Eternal King—all while planning to overthrow him. Isaac, featured on the cover of LORD, is a trans man.

Happy Book Birthday to NYT and USA Today bestselling author Andrew Joseph White's highly anticipated debut adult horror novel YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BE HUMAN! Everyone that has read this visceral entry into the body horror genre says the same thing: It's brutal, it's brilliant, and it's devastating.

Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S. "I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state..."

Please I’d give my right arm for this

Trump DOJ is now looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns. Worth noting that the Nazis did the exact same thing to the Jews. Also worth noting they have no plans to ban right wing white supremacists from owning guns, even though they commit a vast majority of all mass shootings.

You can post for likes with “We need trans stories more than ever” OR you can readily find, purchase, and talk up the many, many, many trans stories that exist in your preferred format from an array of creative people. In the time you spent vaguely posting you could’ve done something tangible.

if it’s only “for the aesthetic” then it’s not a gothic!! it’s been defanged!! 🤝

Relatedly, old man yelling at clouds time: too many books calling themselves “dark academia” are fundamentally uncritical of the institutions themselves beyond the shallowest, most surface level and ✨that’s sure got something to do with class✨ baybee

I’m working on a fairly quick and dirty list of pro-Palestine speculative fiction authors and so far everyone I can think of or find is female or gender nonconforming. which is great! but uhhhh where are the men

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH WATTO ON MY TIMELINE

The first Nazi book burnings were the biggest archive of trans research that existed at the time.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Love our medical system, cause what do you mean I have an updated claim and own more money SIX MONTHS after the date of service After I *already* paid the bill Best healthcare in the world!

Well, guess I'm thankful for that Major Depressive Disorder today

#SaveSpeech #CPBC As we near closer to 4 weeks of sustained pressure, I made this infographic to help focus our targets and to suggest a daily goal that is feasible for most people more info and phone numbers here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money find reps www.congress.gov/members/find...

1. This is a very good sign that speaking out against KOSA is working! Dont assume it's dead though, continue calling your reps until further notice. 2. "Sammy's Law" is still in the draft stage but is worth keeping an eye on as imo i think trying to pass ANY kind of surveillance bill is bad

I have a project that started off as Fire Emblem: Three Houses Ferdibert inspired and then spiraled almost immediately into a gothic religious horror-mance But I can't talk about that one yet 🤐

every democrat who does not speak out about this enables it. what the administration is doing here is a large-scale tactic to isolate trans people and strengthen future attacks on us. the gains we have made are built on visibility and public knowledge of us and our needs.
