People are talking about Iain (M) Banks and gender again on the skyline so I thought I'd re-up this:

All trans women are my sisters but Izolde is my *sister* and she deserves the world. I don't have any money to give her but maybe somebody out there does.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

What I've been working on for the last few months! Got to work with some fantastic humans and create something in community with a burgeoning fandom. Good for the soul. A love letter to a new thing is perfect for Valentine's Day.

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

I've been up to something, because 2025 is the year where we carry out our promises.

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

I wince at people calling every single thing a distraction. Even if it is a distraction it’s still 1) a thing that is actually happening 2) a thing that is hurting people 3) a thing that also needs to be fought and illuminated “It’s just a distraction”feels so dismissive.

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

This is truth. SO many of you have no idea the sputtering, wild-eyed meltdown you would trigger. Criticism means nothing coming from marginalized person; they've already decided we don't matter. But YOU? You're supposed to be on THEIR side. And I can almost guaranteed they just assume you are.

Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man

I know that laws are fake and nobody's going to enforce them on Elon Musk while he and Trump are still in each other's back pockets, but it's still an eyebrow raiser, somehow, for a billionaire to just be actively tweeting out "I spent the weekend committing clear federal crimes hbu"

If this all ends with someone typing "ignore previous instructions and launch the missiles" I hope we at least find out about before everything explodes, because I would like to spend my last few minutes alive laughing my ass off

My hope is for us to all live long enough to be around to see a generation of trans youth who won't believe our stories about how bad things were back in the day.

I don't want to see any more "lol he just legally declared everyone female" legal-interpretation posting from allies. You think that'll protect us? You think the fascists are fae, bound by literalist rulings and loopholes? You think their declarations of war don't count because they have a typo?

"oh ho, but just last year you said running people over with with a big steamroller was wrong!” I exclaim delightedly as my enemy fatally runs me over with a big steamroller. it seems I have won this battle of wits

regular PSA as always that when you doctor says "please do blood labs in the middle of the cycle" you should smile, nod, and then do labs at the end of the cycle. mid cycle data is completely useless and is actively harmful to your health for the levels that most endocrinologists mandate per WPATH.

i think opponents of trump also have to resist the temptation of intellectualizing his outbursts or attributing them to some recognizable goal. the fact is that trump is obsessed with greenland because it is big on a map. he wants canada because it is also big on a map. that's it.
