Being a trans ally means action. Vote. Volunteer. Protest. Speak up. But also: Amplify trans voices. Pay trans people. Donate to trans orgs. Create jobs and safe spaces for trans people. Stop thinking words are enough.

It’s so disheartening to see so many well-meaning organizations go “well, we have to sacrifice this vulnerable population in order to protect the rest of our vulnerable population” as if those people won’t be targeted next.

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone. “It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.

The totalised capture of the media by anti-trans gender ideologues, intent on denying us a voice and refusing to acknowledge our humanity or treat us with dignity, is an actual real-time epistemic atrocity. We are humans being treated like an abhorrent, aberrant spectacle unworthy of respect.

I have been in a heap of pain since I was a child. There is no "getting better." At the same time, some of my conditions are part of my DNA, part of who I am as a person. There is no me without my disabilities.

Trans Magical Girl Novels! Honestly, it's kinda cool that this is a big enough genre space now that I had to pick and choose which to use, also that all six of these are pretty strikingly different in tone and content!

There is a lot to unpack here and you should absolutely read it. US History is littered with shameful events most of us have no idea occured, and when they do people ban learning about it, mainly because they want to commit the same atrocities in the current time.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

The two times I've really gone over the edge while tripping, I've seen history laid out below me as a tide of flesh sucking and fucking and screaming and dying and eating itself as it ebbs and flows across time, and in a tangle of gay bodies in my bed today I could feel the enveloping power of that.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

1. Today, the New York Times Editorial Board published a piece titled "Trump's Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans." I criticize the paper's attempt to wash away the paper's own culpability in ushering in an era of eradication-based policies. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.
