Part 2 of BnR Play #DnD is coming out soon! If you're not caught up on the story, check out part 1 on YouTube or your favorite podcatcher.

Just to be clear, the word “transgenderism” is inherently hate speech.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

The wording of “would hire/wouldn’t hire” is crucial. Just bc I interview with someone who would hire me *in theory* doesn’t mean they’ll pick me over a cis person with the same resume. Many people will feel more comfortable with the cis person whether they’re conscious of it or not.

I was a massive nerd from when I was a kid but didn't get a tech job till my mid thirties in the UK because except for a handful of trans women who transitioned in the industry if you transitioned young you couldn't break into it till recently.

For my birthday my sister took me to the 25th anniversary show of a #thegetupkids album we used to listen to back when I was terrified of being myself. The awkward dedication of a song to #trans people 25 years later was kinda nice.

Sometimes we release an episode every week, and sometimes we have to clean 12 hours of noisy audio to make one episode. The good news is we have 10 more eps recorded and many more in the works. Love you, BRATs!

If you think being gay is a choice then you're gay

Honestly, I think this is true. Even some of the fake both-sides anti-trans "centrists" are sort of mumbling and upset with the way Trump is enacting the same policies they've been calling for for years. Trump just makes bare exactly what's behind anti-trans sentiment.

Meet the Public Universal Friend, nonbinary icon from the era of the American Revolution and person with the most nonbinary name of all time. New episode of Valentine's Voice is out now! #transpodcast #nonbinary #transhistory @vvalcourt.com youtu.be/vGJKIZRUVYU?...

Someone on Facebook asked advice for a coverup tattoo for a Gaiman quote (and fair enough!) and a tattoo artist got chatting and said they do so many HP coverups these days too. That made me very happy. Then they said: "I donate the money from hp coverups to trans advocacy groups" and I got happier.

I'm saying Go Birds because there's a chance their victory riot turns into a general strike

every trans woman faces a moment in her life where if she isn't careful she'll suddenly be a journalist or an author

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.

you guys look at what I’m stitching 🍴🍯

More of this, America.

In the US city of Cincinnati in Ohio, armed Nazis decided to hang flags over an overpass, they were promptly removed by locals who chased them away and burned the Nazi flags. The police tried to protect the Nazis.
