Why you should read a forgotten 80s bestseller about lesbian nuns - the reason is much more wholesome than you think. (Also truly living my best Catholic school girl life - I love @autostraddle.bsky.social and it's thrilling to get to write heretically for them!)

What We Can Learn From Lesbian Nuns
A forgotten 1980s bestseller on lesbian nuns is the antidote to dating app burnout and the "cool queer" rat race.

Want to read some rad queer philosophy, in the form of short snazzy personal essays? Check out the most recent issue of the APA Studies in LGBTQ+ Philosophy, cheekily titled "Make philosophy queer again!" which I've edited! 1/

One bright spot for trans people in Montana: Today's SCOTUS decision does not touch Montana. That's because Montana overturned its gender affirming care ban through the state Supreme Court. States are allowed to have protections that go beyond the US constitution, and thus that ruling is unaffected.

The ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti bans health care decisions made by patient & families in consultation with their doctors. Once again, politicians & judges are inserting themselves in exam rooms. This ruling undermines doctors in delivering care to some of the most vulnerable patients in our country.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?

“When [my tween] socially transitioned in the second grade, years ago now, other kids in the class didn’t blink an eye. Zero bullying. Now bullies run the show—in dominant online spaces in our discipline, in our state legislature, in the U.S. government.” @beegs1.bsky.social #beingtransinphilosophy
black text in typewriter font on white background, as a sneak peek of the Being Trans in Philosophy zine, forthcoming in June 2025: Talia Mae Bettcher talks about the WTF of existence—where up becomes down and down becomes up. I can't begin to say how much this captures my experience as a parent of a trans kid right now. My tween is kind, funny, talented, ambitious. He is a shining light that cheers me up every single day. I don't know how anyone could find fault with him, could look into his eyes and see him as anything but authentic, as deserving of love and respect for who he really is.text continues: When he socially transitioned in the second grade, years ago now, other kids in the class didn't blink an eye. Zero bullying. Now bullies run the show—in dominant online spaces in our discipline, in our state legislature, in the U.S. government. State law bars kids like him from playing sports. It is illegal for him to use the bathroom associated with his gender identity at school. Just last month, my kid lost access to gender-affirming healthcare at our local hospital.text continues: Still, my child is thriving. Our community is there for us. Each morning that we wake up, go about our day, feels like an act of resistance. Increasingly I find myself staring out the window of my office in the philosophy department, gorgeous mountains rising in the background, crying. It's a lot: sitting with the cruelty, the uncertainty of how far persecution will go, what to do.

Trans people and our loved ones are not okay -- in, with, and because of academic philosophy. #beingtransinphilosophy tells these stories firsthand.
Picture with three paragraphs of black text on white background in typewriter font:

Being Trans in Philosophy is a zine collecting first-personal accounts of what it's actually like to be trans or to have trans kids as a philosopher.

Our stories highlight the material, on-the-ground consequences of academic philosophy's role as perhaps the main discipline providing intellectual cover for a global transmisogynistic and transphobic moral panic -- one that has been increasingly institutionalized into laws and policies.

Sharing an essay that was accepted for pub in 2022. Often sexism is framed as targeting women. I argue that this conception of sexism is factually incorrect and politically dangerous. The essay offers meditation on the history of feminism — and why true feminists must fight anti-trans oppression.
