When a trans person lives openly, they light a lantern for everyone else walking the same uncertain path.

In 1985, Sharon Davis published the earliest known book-length autobiography by a Black trans person, A Finer Specimen of Womanhood! Now out of print, you can read the full book for free on Trans Reads.

The NY Times framing every fascist as tough strong & brilliant, and not a dumb racist liar, is one of many ways the NY Times tells Democrats that they are Not On Our Side, and Dems mostly choose not to listen

I have been a guest at conventions where, during the pre-con walk through, my handler has pointed out the bar and mentioned how some guests are "more fun" and "get asked back," then names only men. Because a lot of female guests aren't comfortable hanging out around alcohol with strangers.

ive said it before but i think “u dont have to be trans to transition” is so much more helpful than “u dont have to transition to be trans” bc it prioritizes agency and self actualization over ruminating on identity indefinitely

It is by design. It is their goal to collapse the economy and collapse our government. They always claimed Biden, Obama and Dems were the Deep State and wanted to destroy our country. It was a ruse. It is their plan.

All this transfem Peter Parker stuff is great and headcanons are super fun. But might I recommend comics about canonically trans superheroes? Like the various adventures of Galaxy and Dreamer? Or Rachel Pollack's Doom Patrol run, which introduced Coagula?

We do have a basis of Superman interacting with trans folks from the recent OGN Galaxy: As the World Falls Down It's a great sequence because it emphasizes Superman's imperfections while still primarily focusing on his empathy for the young titular heroine of the book! Very heartwarming!

with the caveat that I have never heard of Today’s Guy, so this is a general statement of opinion, I think it is crucial to remember that no one is entitled to be famous and it’s not an infringement of civil rights when a rapist or abuser is deplatformed

The thing about this book is that I wrote it from a deeply personal place-- it takes place where I went to hs, the main girl looks suspiciously like me-- about the rape culture I experienced at the age that was unacceptable. And all I've ever wanted for this book was its cultural irrelevance.

A painting of Jeanne d'Arc, aka Joan of Arc. She is depicted with wings and in stylized armor. A flaming arrow pierces the space between her neck and shoulder. Her right eye is a star of light. At the bottom, a dragon stylized in the medieval fashion is coiled around her wrist.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

To say transgenderism is a choice is to say homosexuality is a choice is to say heterosexuality is a choice is to say everybody is intrinsically pan sexual and just shacking up with certain people as a business decision based on social pressures.

If the Democratic Party always has senators who are really Republican and vote with the GOP and pledge loyalty to the GOP and advocate GOP policies, and the Dem Party keeps funding them and doesn't kick them out, maybe the Dems use them to prevent change to the status quo while feigning opposition?

what cis people fail to understand about transphobia is that it's not "treating trans men as women and trans women as men," it's "constantly occupying the status of Third-Sexed Unhuman who can be gendered in whichever way is most convenient at any given moment"

"Enjoy the camps" is a succinct summation of the current moment trans people find ourselves in. People who insist they're allies also loudly proclaim they won't lift a finger to help us, will say nothing when we're attacked and even tacitly agree with the attacks, and still claim moral superiority.

One thing I remember and hardly anyone seems to is that there's a sort of sexual revolution interregnum when all sex was good (seen from the adult male perspective, which it mostly was) including sex with children, which was publicly defended. Feminism, mostly, is what changed that.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
