Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

We are entering a phase when it will be very important to not hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

This is why I will never abandon ACT UP, because ACT UP will never abandon us. #ACTUP #TransRights #FightBack

Fenway Health caving to Trump administration bigotry is shameful, not strategy.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Riley is a boy who steps through a portal into an endless crumbling city on a dying world at the end of time, and is recruited into a magical school that operates out of the massive Tower in the middle of the city. www.scribblehub.com/series/19586...

I knew nothing about "Light from Uncommon Stars" when I started reading it and holy shit.

ICYMI yesterday when the Epstein news broke, I wrote about something else for my newsletter:

Thinking about how one of the first Epstein victims was trans and got relentlessly mocked in the media when she spoke up www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/when...

Kind of an emergency but I lost my job and really need help. I made good money but I support my wife and two kids so we are very much in trouble. I am fighting for our rights and community, and I really need help. www.gofundme.com/f/help-fund-...

Six years ago today, a week after I had come out as trans at work, I used the start of Trans Awareness Week to come out as trans to friends on social media - about 50+ of them I had been out to before. As crappy as the political climate is, it remains one of my best decisions & I wouldn't change it

A wife and wife couple, a community of cyborgs in need, and a heritage of defiance, standing against empires, and planting stars: you can find my trans sapphic cyberpunk novel Confluence: A Person-Shaped Story at buff.ly/O9j674R or from the publisher at buff.ly/t85r7OW

Queerly beloved, I have a decade+ of experience in network systems administration and cybersecurity and will move anywhere it's safe for a trans woman to live. If you know of any openings, please pass 'em on

Starting to think I'm just not going to get a job working in IT, and it has nothing to do with my experience 🙃

Kei: What's the big deal? That's so close-minded! Yuri: Nowadays, one in ten people have gotten their sex changed.

Just saw the terrible news that US Bishops just banned gender affirming care at Catholic hospitals. A reminder, from the reproductive justice front - For a lot of people, Catholic hospitals are their only option. Even places where they aren't, they sometimes set standard of care.

WHAT HAPPENED? In the multistate SNAP case, Judge Talwani will: - keep USDA's 11/8 order that states "undo" full payments or face penalties stayed for now - issue a TRO mirroring the RI case TRO to protect states directly - likely address an error states say USDA made in its partial payment tables

Wrote a book about a bisexual trans woman escaping a high-control authoritarian religion. Totally not projecting. Absolutely no parallels to my life as an ex-Mormon bisexual trans woman. 👀 Preorder now. danielawolfe.com/product/frac...

Today in @thenation.com: thrilled to have @gbbranstetter.bsky.social on how this week's elections should bury once and for all the toxic myth that trans people are to blame for the Democratic Party's political failures www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“However, when candidates inoculate early and respond directly, they recover those points and sometimes gain additional margin by demonstrating their values and strength,” the memo continued.

Again I am asking trans people to share something good that is happening in your life. Can be something really small or even the absence of a bad thing! Hearing the good things in your lives gives me life and hope.

🎶All the world is waiting for you...🎶 Before I ever did a "skirt go spinny" move, I was spinning around on my driveway (often on roller skates), playing "let's pretend" superheroes games with my kindergarten age friends in the mid/late 70s, transforming & ready to save the day.

amazing 🧵 on Mamdani's ascendancy and the team he's built to transform NYC. well worth the read.

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

I just purchased these this morning, so my reading queue is well loaded for the next stretch - not that it wasn't before, but...

And sadder still, more Americans will be mad about their Thanksgiving flights getting fucked up than millions of Americans going hungry than children going hungry. We must do better.

lmao

Yesterday marked six years since I came out to the rest of the faculty as trans. It was six more weeks before I was out to the students.

tomorrow we begin the process of casting the movie which is scheduled to be shot between January and April of next year. (it’s kind of a big production) wanna cover all the bases and make sure we cast the widest net so if you’re in the NY tri-state area, an actor, and trans - I’m looking for ya!

BREAKING: The Sixth Circuit, in a 10-7 en banc decision, holds that an Ohio school district's anti-bullying policy that requires students to use children's preferred pronouns is likely unconstitutional on these facts. Judge Murphy, a Trump appointee, writes the court's decision.

How does it feel?

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

BREAKING NEWS: Sharon Owens and Dorcey Applyrs were just elected as the first Black mayors of Syracuse and Albany.

Syracuse elects its first Black mayor and second woman, Sharon Owens: ‘This is more than a win’ Sharon Owens was one of several Black women to have a victory on Election Day when she won with 73% of the votes thegrio.com/2025/11/05/s...

Breaking the 12 year long GOP supermajority in Mississippi seems like a big deal. A bunch of Black women mayors seems like a big deal. Can’t wait for the hot “How Democrats winning is bad news for Democrats” takes.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit
