fuck every single person who gets angry at trans people for criticizing people like Gavin Newsom and claiming that we're doing purity politics. the anti-trans movement is THE issue leading the fascist charge. if you are unable to hold an extremely hard line on this, you lose literally everything.

i hope everybody is having fun at worldcon without me :(

The thing about "Les Misérables" is that its central doomed uprising is unambiguously left wing — in the *book*. But the *musical* cuts out all those political details. The lyrics of "Do You Hear the People Sing?" are just vaguely populist, not neo-Jacobin.

Fuck it, I am well and truly in panic mode, so I'm doing a sale. £100 logos, including full commercial rights. I'm doing 6 slots, first come first serve. DM me.

anyways, this is why reproductive oppression is not simply constitutive of a substantialist account of bodies but concerns effects on the entirety of all women and all trans people - because no gender oppressed person is able to escape the *consequences of* reproductive exploitation, even if

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

This was the funniest thing that's happened in the past few years, right?

This man has been doing good for decades, but also, damn, does he know protest messaging and optics. He's got his one-sentence, clear summary of what he's there to protest and he is going to make sure everyone hears it.

We are here because trans acceptance is so antithetical to organizing life under a heterosexual regime that political, financial and ideological self-mutilation has been deemed a more acceptable alternative by those who wish to cling to privilege and power at any cost to the masses.

The thing we keep coming back to is that trans people have been so utterly deprived of epistemic authority that the predominant and prevailing narratives of our lives and experiences either cater to or directly stem from the cis society that sexualizes, pathologizes, and infantilizes us.

If we aren't going to have bananas, I think I would prefer to not have the bananas because of socialism rather than whatever this is.

If you're looking for books to read for #transreadathon, consider The Calyx Charm, a romance featuring a trans woman, and Lord of the Last Heartbeat, which has a nonbinary main character. LoTLH is also only $1.99 right now! Amazon: tinyurl.com/4ps2armr Book page: tinyurl.com/32bm6pv5

I write a lot about 'degendering', 'regendering', 'bestialization' and the like, but the core of what I'm getting at is always a tendency in reactionary politics towards opportunism and rhetorical flexibility. Consistency does not matter. What matters is DISCIPLINING the undesirables.

for god's sake let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the line i had to slash from my thesis, for clarity reasons, that said shakespeare's mark antony is nonbinary

THANK YOU CHAPPELL ROAN

it really is insane to imply you get treated better in schools for being trans when every queer and trans person i know in school was relentlessly bullied or trapped in the closet for how they might be treated

when i reread in the dream house it'll be over for everyone. mostly me
