Such a sweet and astute review 💗

Sharing this essay I published in 2019 on caring for trans youth as an ethical practice since there is a global crackdown on trans care. I wrote this essay to also reflect on my experience transitioning as a teen, since I truly think it made my life better. philpapers.org/archive/MARG...

boy did i pick a year to become a Public Trans Writer

I went on @ezrakupor.bsky.social's new series Galley Brag to talk about book reviewing, pitching, publicity, and my upcoming book Herculine. galleybrag.substack.com/p/galley-bra...

Annoyed once again at the pablum of writing as self-care, but honestly this transsexual lesbian werewolf novel I'm working on is unclenching some things that 10+ years of therapy haven't shaken out

I wrote about new books from @jeannethornton.bsky.social @torreypeters.bsky.social @harronwawker.bsky.social @veryhotmomm.bsky.social @xbennyboo.bsky.social @thedennemichele.bsky.social @cuteflesh.bsky.social @vivianblaxell.bsky.social and more!

Not that you asked, but here's a big roundup of upcoming books by trans authors that you can preorder now! :) Links to individual books below. (Asterisks indicate that this author has been interviewed on the cool podcast Gender Reveal.)

Hi new followers :) I don’t love social media :) So will only be posting around my upcoming book really :) But will be posting around that soon regardless :)

For Electric Literature, I wrote about my favorite movie, learning to love the South, and doing things that hurt as self-care: electricliterature.com/i-loved-texa...

For @clereviewbooks.bsky.social I wrote about the recent How The Clinic Made Gender, a book that’s not just insidious, but poorly written to boot: www.clereviewofbooks.com/writing/cis-...

with every year that passes, the popularity jack nicholson experienced gets more befuddling

I have an agent now :)

women are meant to receive secrets bc it satisfies our primitive desire to gather nuts (gossip) + berries (forbidden truths)

All trans women look like they’re 27, which is why we’re colloquially referred to as being in the “27 club”

get in babe, we’re treating every past identity formation we went thru with the love and respect it deserves

new charli xcx song is big for hypomanic girlie representation (great vibes but far too short and fundamentally underwhelming)
