It's a blessing I get to own my own home, I mutter to myself as I try to stop the washing machine spraying water everywhere

But those children, the tiny number who because they are trans will only be happy being allowed to transition and grow up to be trans adults, have to be subjected to gatekeeping around FUCKING HAIRCUTS AND PREFERRED NAMES, in order to protect some cis queer kids from haircuts and preferred names.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

This year my main goal was to start doing something creative after doing basically nothing in well over a decade. So here is some of the stained glass I ended up making this year

These have really not made it out to the Game Changer fan community in the same way that the original trans versions did. It's a shame because I know there are people out there who would love them but the algorithm just isn't connecting us :/

What they don’t tell you about having a teacher partner is that you’ll be racing to every corner shop on your way home because they promised their kids lollies, and nowhere seems to have any.

I do feel much less stressed for this than I did for my top surgery though. Probably because I am a 9 minute drive home versus a 5+ hour drive home and haven't had to isolate by myself for a week prior
