Aside from Eleanor Rykener and the trans women in “Grisandolus,” do folks know of other trans-femme individuals in medieval literature and history more generally? I’m on the hunt. Most accounts—especially hagiographic—seem to focus on trans-masc folks.

I'll add on a thing I've had to internalise: If something's worth doing, it's worth half-assing. In other words, if a task needs doing, any effort in its direction is a good thing. If you need to clean yourself up, a half-assed job brushing your teeth is better than waiting to do it perfectly.

As we enter Pride Month, it's important to remember that we're facing numerous genocidal policies directed at trans people in particular—both children and adults—as well as the queer and trans community more broadly.

Listen - we told you. Yes, getting Carney in over PP was important, but it wasn't the end of things. We're going to have to fight this fucker tooth and nail for the next four years to stop massive overreach and resource extraction on steroids.

The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

If you’re constantly anxious and sad and furious and your nervous system is fucked it’s because we’re going through a queer and trans genocide right now, and governments are either doing fuck-all or encouraging the destruction, and we remember this in our DNA from the 80s as trauma passed down.

We won't. The troll dynamic is essentially unchanged since the days of USENET, because the goal is the same: disrupt civil discourse and waste other people's time. There's nothing I've seen from troll recently that I didn't see 30 years ago in a newsgroup.

For Pride, I’m remembering Lucy Hicks Anderson, trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the late 1800s. She was an incredible socialite and cook, so much so that when she was arrested and a banker got her out of jail because they had a party and she was the cook! We have always been here.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.
