worrying about what total strangers do with their genitals is just tragic behavior. wildly out of pocket nonsense. if you aren't touching theirs or letting them touch yours why in the world would you care? grow the fuck up and mind your business, you know?

a girl peenis looks very different than a boys

folks I voluntarily play male shep in mass effect every time and if that isn’t the most cis thing in history I don’t know what is

i think its very cute that every time an incredible indie game drops there is like a 33.3% chance one of the creators will come out as or is already trans. soooo cuteeee

golden rule of the hormuz strait: 1) the strait is not opened 2) if there is a ceasefire and the US says the strait is opened, go to step 1

11 purchases until we hit 11k, which is kind of wild.

meme of unknown provenance but constant relevance

This narrative during Pride month was absolutely intentional. The corporate media is fully in for fascism and desperate for you to agree.

I actually think game developers should have to disclose all kinds of more stuff about how they made their game. I want to know what kinds of practices I'm supporting in general, I want AI to just be the thing that starts this process.

Genuinely fucking wild to me that the response to the fact that when women have total independence they often choose to be happily alone because they don't want to be treated like Bangmaid Mommy, and the response is not "Should I be a better person?" but "let's remove rights from women."

Aww the co-creator of FTL came out as trans and issued an update for the first time in years just to change her name in it 😭 love that game.

Here's us talking about 'visibility' with @androgynyfiend.bsky.social, without pretending that the pursuit of rights provoked an inevitable backlash and taking a look at the many, many cis institutions that failed us.

The organization of society around the fiction of immutable and hierachal sex is a mistake, hope this helps

it's the era of the tsundere trans girl lately huh

if you're a man and you say or type the word 'futa' then a trans woman is allowed to kick you in the nads until you puke sorry I don't make the rules

"why can't the trans girl just be a crossdressing man?" Oh so you hate women? You absolutely hate women huh? You despise women and want them all gone, out of your sight. Men only. You misogynist, who understands nothing of the true nature of this planet

There is no "natural body" untainted by culture and desire and language and the meanings inscribed by the very act of perception and interpretation. We are all constructed females trying to take ownership of our own flesh, to reconstruct ourselves on our own terms. Embrace it.

Practically every early-transition trans lesbian I've ever met had the same "I feel like I'm an intruder in all queer spaces because I don't like men" worry and was materially harmed by how it deprived them of community and support So academics writing about trans lesbians really should know better

honestly this last point goes for a lot of politics beyond just the fight for trans healthcare. i genuinely don’t get why liberals are so fucking afraid of being called faggots (communist, socialist, etc) by conservatives and why that fear causes liberals to cave on every single fucking issue

People are saying Talarico is folding on this under pressure from Republicans but I’m yet to see any evidence that that is the case. They’re going to call him a tranny homo no matter what he does, and his campaign knows that. The Democrats are folding on this because they want to.

bottom surgery for trans teens is an easy thing to fearmonger about but it’s also easy to push back on rhetorically. “no one is doing SRS on teens!” is a weak argument that is also not true and throws trans kids under the bus. “teens can consent to life saving healthcare, dipshit.” is true

this pride, remember that pride is NOT a riot, gender & sexuality are NOT political, your identity exists taxonomically and scientifically absent of social context, & is a biological minority that is valid as long as it respects the cisgender & heterosexual majority. Happy Pride!

it's almost like gendered dynamics are political and not just vibes

ideology is downstream of behavior. if someone is observably a shithead then their ideology doesn't count. if someone says pretty words about their principles while they abuse people those words are a thing we call "lying"

Reading excerpts from yet another book discussing how transition positions "biomedical intervention as necessary" and makes trans people "cathect hope on a for-profit medical industry" and I am done. I am fucking done. This is fucking out of touch with reality and yet rife in trans scholarship.

yup, IMHO this is definitely a part of what's going on (for those who haven't read the piece, I explain the Stigma-Contamination mindset here: juliaserano.medium.com/anti-trans-g...)

Jess O'Thomson dedicates themselves body and spirit to fighting one of the most demoralising and gruelling political fights in the world. They contend with constant abuse from professional transphobes both online and off, and are thanked by people in our community calling them cis and privileged.

god this is so cute if I kept up with my drawing skills I'd love to do something similar with the Unlimited Combat Dolls girls but it'll have to remain imagined for now I've done my best to describe their various cooling solutions in prose as they feverishly try to kill each other 😌

NEW ESSAY: Origins of the Anti-Trans “Groomer” Slur. it provides historical context, a timeline of how it spread, & how it shapes anti-trans/LGBTQ legislation. pls share! on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/origins-of-t... & Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/origins-of...

I know this is controversial because it is seen as alienating to moderate voters, but I don’t think we need to pay anybody to demolish aid tents dispensing care to needy families

"why did ESO unfollow me"

I've already gotten texted twice that this is making the repost rounds again in time for pride month. So I'm reposting it on my own account, because I drew it. Happy Pride Month!

honestly it's not so bad having written a book that I love but whose sale performance is terrible, because every time I see that someone has bought a copy, it's a moment of genuine delight

There's a difference between reclaiming something and just like. Using it. Uncritically. With all the harm of the original thing still intact.

If a bigoted subculture has ended up taking the role as a support network for early transition, that's a reason to be MORE critical of the bigotry! Not less! The bigotry is WORSE when it's tied to access to support and resources! IT MAKES THE BIGOTRY MORE MATERIALLY IMPACTFUL!!!

I'm in a mood to discuss this away from any discourse that precipitated it, so bear in mind I am not intentionally responding to anything right now. But I have a troubled relationship, let's say, with the attempted "reclamation" of things like sissy porn in transfem culture.

The results are in! Check them out at this link, and go congratulate a winner: indietransfemaward.wordpress.com/2026/06/02/w... Thank you to everyone who participated and everyone who supported this project, we were more successful than we anticipated, all thanks to you 💖 See you next year!

It's a disciplining mechanism, not an actual achievable goal. We live in a world where they're transvestigating Erika Kirk and Sydney Sweenie, for fuck's sake---you'd think people would understand how this works by now, and yet!

This is great, because I've been meaning to discuss the various fallacies and pitfalls that come with lumping together these things cis people do with trans healthcare and calling it all "gender-affirming". Starting with the idea that "it's okay when cis people do it but not trans people".

IT'S PRIDE MONTH, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS 28 WORKS 28 US AMERICAN DOLLARS COME GET IT WHILE IT'S FRESH!! itch.io/s/187300/pri...

Think tanks explicitly founded to "abolish transgenderism" will publish a report that's like "there's no evidence that trans healthcare works if you ignore all the evidence" and be taken seriously, meanwhile actual researchers go "there's seriously NO evidence that gatekeeping helps" and get ignored

I did eventually get an email on this - I received two strikes and a three day suspension for the post 'I do not know how a trans woman's murder became an excuse for cis men to tell us we are the real problem but I wish them all a happy die'. As such I will no longer be posting on bluesky.

you all will be shocked to know that the ai enthusiasts' response to microsoft making copilot unaffordable by switching to token pricing this month has not resulted in them abandoning ai, but to praising the incredible value of swapping to deepseek...

happy pride month youtu.be/bRIVTEBaLkA

FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE. The ghost of David Lynch is with us. Happy Pride <3

lol. lmao, even.
