The cartoon that cracked 10,000 eggs

I've been trying to think of some meaningful TDOV statement for days, in the face of everything. How do you speak hope into the world, now? But... Well, how about this: Trans visibility made my life worth living. It's improved my life and the lives of my family in more ways than I can describe.

Visibility matters. As the latest polling from @dataforprogress.org shows, when adults know a trans person, they are more supportive of trans people.

Donating directly to a trans person's surgery, relocation, housing, medical care, or other MA fund will always do infinitely more good than donating to a politician, and if you don't see that by now I really don't know how to help you.

Just me, being cute and charming on "Good Day Rochester" this morning, promoting my show, and the fundraiser for the show. Wanna see? www.youtube.com/live/RJM_PFi...

This has been a rough week. Local transphobes are stirring up discorse at the swim center my child goes to for swim lessons cause they have a trans employee. The school district my child goes to made national news for transphobes and racists stirring up trouble 🤦‍♀️ I feel the need to be visible. (1/3)

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

If you needed something positive today, here it is.

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

Breakfast and coffee consumed. Time to go shovel the snow that fell last night. Good morning all.

Nearly 4 years of estrogen, it is incredible the unexpected joy I’m getting from trying on a pair of new leggings.

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

The horrors persist, so I inject estrogen. Perfect shot this morning 💅

Been a hot minute since a posted a selfie. WFH day with some interesting meetings scheduled, then after work, therapy 🎉 Take care of yourselves. Drink water, take meds, rest.

I have said it for years, trans women would be welcomed as sisters of Themyscira.

“Victory or Death” by Metalite is a fitting choice of musical accompaniment (thanks to shuffle) as I did my estrogen injection this morning.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

These are the same picture.

I’m in a rough spot, y’all. My unemployment still hasn’t started, and I need to get rent paid today or I’m going to be in deep shit. (I’m already a month behind, so getting further behind would be… really bad.) If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. “maegodhavemercy” on Venmo & cashapp.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is my life these days…

I really enjoy being part of a <1% demographic at the top of Uncle Sam's shit list. It's a very wonderful life experience I'm glad that I have had the opportunity to explore.

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

Going to be honest: this past week and a half or so has not been good for my mental health and I really wish more of my friends would check in/invite me to stuff/help me take my mind off of all of this. It sucks a lot.

As someone who transitioned as a minor, my heart is absolutely breaking reading this. We need to do all that we can to oppose such blatant discrimination against our trans youth.

Death before detransition.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

If you’re a cis person and you’re not vocally fighting against this with every ounce of your being, block me. I do not need or want you in my life. Yes, even you. Time to shit or get off the pot.

This is what peak masculinity looks like in 2025

Why not. Responses may be slow.

In the before days, I never understood how clothing could send a message. These days, I get it. Take care of yourselves.

Trump signed an executive order that tries to write trans people out of existence today. It's mostly symbolic. It's still gonna make for a LOT of pain for the trans community--just probably not where you think it will. It's gonna be real bad for grant funding, which means medical research. A 🧵

Tonight is a good night to watch some Indiana Jones.

Oh dear. I did a horrible thing. I shoveled snow off my driveway while 🏳️‍⚧️ Time for this lady to warm back up from this very scary event.
