10k twitter followers in 2015 was like 50k today and 1k followers on bluesky is still a lot like trying to use bitcoin to buy groceries

that trans girl who you think runs the entire scene like the godfather just peed herself a little btw

let’s all hang out

This from @leahtigers.bsky.social is exceptional. A history of the trans feminine in high fashion, from the 19th century origins of haute couture to Mugler and the dolls

stop what you’re doing and read this

whenever someone says that they want to date someone “mature” they mean someone who reminds them of their mother

i wish more trans women understood- you cant control what people say or think about you! you just can do your thing - behave with integrity

Hanging out levels are returning to summertime frequencies. The birds are singing outside. It’s legal to wear a crop top again. Groundhog found dead in Miami

honestly it’s surprising that being a member of a demographic that has (more or less) gay sex practices and (more or less) lesbian discourse styles doesn’t lead to even more interpersonal confusion than it already does

i might need to change my whole vibe

I’m at your woman’s place listening to harpsichord music

Sophie is of course quite right and rather too kind - the transphobic strain in American and British feminism was always intrinsically on the Right with its fondness for conspiracy theory, pseudoscience and victimblaming I've said so for four decades. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...?

This story got rejected from every magazine I submitted it to, and I'm convinced it's because 3 blowjobs is too many blowjobs for literary magazine publication

life got bad and i became a poet. im such a fag dude

women in my brain like the matrix

there isn’t a website optimized for transgender locals anymore. that was tumblr and then it was twitter and now…?

so basically I need 40 years worth of estrogen and progesterone and 25 years worth of prep

I’ve sent this @fistfightjones.bsky.social story to like seven people open.substack.com/pub/weirdnos...

“can’t hang” isn’t a moral failing. but I have limited time on earth

HEARTBREAKING: thing that every trans woman guesses about you ends up being true, abridging process of self discovery

trying to explain my love life to my brother (a gay guy who is in a long distance relationship with a farmer)

ok my big problem with Bluesky right now is that everything on my feed is literally just a journalist or someone who works for a nonprofit. please give me some deeply unprofessional accounts to follow

I'm obsessed with women who are ultimately strange dorks

reading a really good manuscript by a trans woman. irreplaceable high

some more miscellaneous writing on the newsletter: a short description of my day-to-day life that I wrote as a sort of centering exercise after the inauguration open.substack.com/pub/anecdata...

Yes, but here’s the Trump Circuit dance: 1. Anti-trans officials get trounced in district court bc the factual record overwhelmingly favors trans challengers 2. Anti-trans appellate judges sweep that aside due to “tr***ies are unnatural + have no rights so they lose” rule 3. Policy goes forward

lmao

haha. Back when Target was doing corporate pride, one of their vendors approached me to do a "Detransition, Baby" t-shirt. (very confusing! I said no). So now Target and I are even. But the moral of the story is that my book will be available at indie bookstores!
