You know they actually arrested this ICE guy for shooting someone? I wonder why?

AI has reached a new frontier: conversion therapy for trans kids. Detrans AI‘s site claims it helps users explore their gender dysphoria. Instead, it cites conspiracy theories and seeks to invalidate trans people — even if it risks their lives. Read my original reporting @rewirenewsgroup.com

One of the many wonderful things about great cities is how free they are, how they empower diverse people with the freedom to be themselves. Here are eight aspects of city life that specifically help empower transgender people with the freedom to live as themselves.

this is where I mention I wrote a Māori midgrade fantasy novel with a trans MC that we ended up taking to market *right* as Trump swept into office and every publisher got extremely gun-shy about trans books all of a sudden. I still have it. It'll probably never come out.

Hey! I'm speaking on this in a bit over an hour.

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

After A Rotten Girl, The Brute of Greengrave, and Lo, Nuns!, I'm pretty much at the point of "Jemma releases new work, I read it immediately", and I think you should be, too.

At this point, it's basically a monthly thing where the NY Times has some boomer Dem write a piece saying the party should abandon trans people.

I'm not being flippant - there is a deeper issue here. For years, many corners of the publishing industry cultivated a preference for a specific type of story structure and voice, which are now being regurgitated by AI. Editors who read widely can spot it, folks who don't read widely can struggle

Magdalene Visaggio was once in seminary, training to become a Catholic priest. Now she's a snarky online trans girl like the rest of us. In a challenging new essay for Assigned, she writes about the toll being hated for who she is has taken on her psyche. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

what use is a revolution if there's no music, dancing, art? You can't fuel rebellions on anger alone. You have to love something enough to fight for it, and find joy to sustain it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo had lived in Houston for 35 years. He was a husband and father of three children and owned a small business. He was shot to death by ICE agents in unmarked cars while he was picking up his work crew. Three other men, including his brother, were detained and are missing.

I suppose the issue has always been that they hold leftists to a higher standard, except for all the times that they don't. Usually when they do, its because that leftist is a minority that they feel guilty about hating otherwise. They need to give themselves an excuse to keep voting for white men.

Hot take but i don’t think it’s trans women’s responsibility to deconstruct gender roles while everyone else gets to do whatever the fuck they want

Behold, the future

Indeed. And I often wonder if we’re failing them even more. Kids affirmed from an early age are having hope and futures crushed out of them, versus a generation earlier looking out from a closet towards a possible future. Our kids know they are under attack and they’re kids.

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.

Alright I've done my due diligence, and my current count for the Q1-Q2 publishing period is 57 titles. I know it's an undercount! If you're a transfeminine author who's published a book between January 1st and June 30th in ANY GENRE, and your book isn't on this list, please let me know!!!! ⬇️
