1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

A lot of the anti-sexwork laws exist because old white cis men never learned the definition of consent. It’s always “well if I don’t like what others do with their bodies then it must be non consensual but if I enjoy what I’m doing to others, my consent is obviously the only one that matters”

One of the worst things a writer can do is give a villain a boring death. Melt their faces off (Raiders of the Lost Ark). Make their heads explode (Jaws). Rapid aging turns them to dust (Last Crusade). Killed by Darth Vader (Return of the Jedi). Eaten by a T. Rex, zombies, Godzilla, crocodiles.

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

You can not save gay people by supporting trans genocide, their definitions of "biological male" and "biological female" includes straight. If you capitulate, appease, or concede the lives of trans people, then they will call you trans next to justify your genocide as well.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services. This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.
