A vital piece of trans allyship is actually in supporting children's rights to bodily autonomy from the out. Someone is complaining their child wants to cut their hair short or grow it long? Point out that it's the child's hair. Why shouldn't they have it how they want it? Why is that parent upset?

First July 1 up north in more than a decade. Went to multiple #CancelCanadaDay events and met some great people and got to know a few more fantastic organizations. Also bought some amazing things and ate delicious food.
A red hoodie with the word “Justice” and acronym “MMIW” placed over the image of an Indigenous pus women with braided Al hair and a red hand print on her face. This is beside a white poster with black print reading “ Canada is a colonial institution built on the genocide of Indigenous nations.”Silver raven talon earring on a black background.A square white plate with a knife across the top left corner and a meal of bannock with mushrooms, Brie, blueberries, and bison gravy on it. On the right side of the plate is a small jug of gravy.A red cap mushroom sticker, a purple snail sticker, and a rainbow worm sticker.

I saw a reference yesterday to trans people becoming "non-compliant" wrt to mismatch between IDs and paperwork, and my tattoo fucking ITCHED.
A stylized logo of the letters NC in black against a white background. It's from the epic comic "Bitch Planet" by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine de Landro, where bad women and trans people were labelled "non-compliant" with their assigned gender.

This “joke” popped into my head as I was falling asleep the other night.
An engineer, a novelist, and a lawyer walk into the bar.
Only the lawyer passes but that’s irrelevant because they’re all living fully actualized lives as their true selves.

Nonbinary person here, the "tri-bi" label serves too much cunt therefore the math checks out Being nonbinary is intrinsically about chaos, cunt, or both, and it's usually both.

Our culture has such a reliance on art, mixed with so much disdain for artists' lives. Someone throws soup at a painting in a gallery or whatever and everyone acts like it's a literal murder, but that level of sympathy is for the object, almost never for the living conditions of artists.

It’s ok to have down periods when you aren’t creating. It’s not about constant production. It’s good to sit and marinate.

There are a lot of half-formed notions of Renee Good circulating right now. This poem is the most accurate artifact of her we have access to; a piece of her soul that remains in the world. Read her words and become her for a moment; let her live in you. So long as men can breathe & eyes can see.

I identify as a threat. Words, acrylic on canvas, and Executive Order collage by @archaeoguy.bsky.social
On a white canvas, red splatters of paint make up the background and are covered in a collage of cut out portions of Executive Orders on health and gender. On top of this are jagged piece of red and black paper framing this poem:

I identify as a threat.

They’re scared of me.
They can’t handle
even one small aspect of my existence.
They are so alarmed
they keep trying legislate me away.
Pretend I don’t exist.
Yet here I am.
Existing.
Existing as me.
Not as they decide I should be.
They want me to disappear.
But I’m not going to do that.
Even if they take everything from me.
Even if they take my freedom.
My life.
My existence will continue.
And I will haunt them for eternity.
They’re scared of me.
But I’m not scared of them.

This response is the exact type of response a student *should* receive and that the instructor has been removed is both an attack on academic integrity as well as a clear and targeted attack on a trans instructor. Despicable on the part of the student, the university, and of course TPUSA.

My very first semester at OU, way back in 2015, a student complained to my chair that I was ‘opinionated’ and rigid because I wouldn’t accept her statement about Hitler being sound on economic policy and therefore ‘shades of grey’ When I tell you I am not surprised about the trans TA being targeted

I am glad to see SCOTUS denying Kim Davis's attempt to overturn marriage equality. These baseless attempts to invalidate marriage for same-sex couples are designed to intimidate our community and put families like mine in danger. We all deserve to be happy, and if we choose, to get married.

Transphobia is an entire entertainment industry – they create and consume its content like football. Hatred as a lifestyle choice. Its better funded than your favorite hobby. They hate us recreationally. Hating us is what they do with their free time.

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it. All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.
