Happy trans day of visibility! Today's a great day to drop a few bucks in any trans folks' GFMs, Patreons, whatever, to help them live better lives. Trans folks drop your links/boost others for visibility! Pic for algorithm

Sometimes when I am cleaning up transcripts I see something like "Harvey Melt" and I imagine a gay open faced sandwich, correct it, and move on. Other times I read "Family Stick" and I go to the original recording, and realize they actually did say Family Stick, and have no idea what that means.

a friend interviewed me for a research project and pulled this quote. I keep reading it like "damn girl, what were you on because...damn"

“Because queer history is me and my friends,” ze responds. “And queer history is the young girl I couldn’t be and who I need to speak up for. Because queer history is 100 years in the future... that’s how I keep up with my local history. I make it with my friends.”

No matter how big or bad, I have always “pushed through” obstacles w/sheer force of will. Yet, a grocery run now can leave me collapsed in a sweating, shaking heap of anesthesia- grade fatigue & fog. I don’t expect most folks to get it, but occasional acknowledgement that this is hard would be nice.

Did you know that trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are? On this annual Transgender Day of Resilience (TDOR), we’re sharing our resource on Long COVID in trans people. Created with @longcovidjustice.org longcovidjustice.org/lc-in-trans-people

A purple and teal ombre background has large blue title text that says: “Long COVID Trans People: Navigating Across Gender Clinics and Long COVID Care.” Below this is an illustration of a trans person with brown chair and short pink hair and pink high heels, sitting in a purple wheelchair with a big glowing pink heart in their arms. The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE. A series by The Sick Times x Long COVID Justice."

Aqua and purple gradient background with white text boxes and black text that says: “Trans people are more likely to report having Long COVID than cis people are. According to one survey, over 27% of trans adults reported ever experiencing Long COVID as of September 2024, compared to 14% of cis men and 22% of cis women.” There is a graphic showing bars of various lengths to represent these percentages.

Additional text says: “More research is needed. Some advocates suggest lower income and less access to healthcare among trans people could contribute to this pattern.”

The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE.“

Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Options for talking to providers, continued.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “You can also request a referral to a Long COVID clinic, or another specialist who understands and sees people with Long COVID and related diseases.

If possible, ask people in your community about recommendations for these providers.

Note that not all Long COVID clinics are familiar with treating trans people.”

Below this a green organic shape has black text that says: “Directories of Long COVID clinics, COVID-informed doctors, and more: Additional text includes the link to the webpage: “longcovidjustice.org/connect”

The footer reads, "Long COVID Essentials, www.tiny.cc/LCE."

Aqua and purple gradient background is titled, “Look out for more research.” Below this, a white text box has black text that says: “Some research suggests that sex hormones could influence the body’s immune response, which might affect the severity or symptoms of Long COVID.

For example, one preprint (not yet peer reviewed) found that people with lower levels of testosterone were more likely to have worse Long COVID symptoms.

This article includes more info about sex hormones and the immune system.

More research is needed to better understand why trans people may be more at risk for Long COVID and to develop treatments.”

Often when I’ve had horrific doctors appointments I have had people try to convince me to make complaints about it, missing the point of how incredibly baked into the system this all is, what an exhausting use of energy it would be.

I’ve been incredibly blessed that my close friends have rallied around me even harder… but I’ve also noticed where I stopped getting invited to. Especially around Covid cautiousness. And folks have straight up said they haven’t invited me because “it wouldn’t be safe” as though out of their control.

If no one in your timeline is grieving the loss of Alice Wong today then you’re not hearing from enough disabled people or even people who listen to disabled people. That’s a massive segment of society to which you will likely belong some day. Might want to turn an ear toward them sooner than later

I’m still alive and when you don’t mask you are saying the same thing to me she described: that the terrible thing that happened to me couldn’t possibly happen to you because you’re superior. Or that my ability to exist in public is a burden & I am expendable. There’s no other honest interpretation.

💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.
Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
