Go with tenderness and curiosity, as their friend and loved one, but be unequivocally firm in your love for trans people. You have the chance to reach people we simply cannot reach. The people who are ignorant are the ones who don’t know any trans folks — but they know *you.*

If you’re cis & you want trans folks to know they’re valid and cared for, here’s a tip: Don’t say it to a trans person. Go talk to a cis person. Talk to your dad. Your coworker. Your friends. Ask if they know whats going on. Ask if they have uncertainties when it comes to the ~trans issue.~

Why are all these outlets earnestly using the "O" to let Musk enjoy "DOGE" being pronounceable when they could just call it DGE? I know there's precedent with POTUS, etc., but like...we say DND here, not DOND. Seems like this would have been an easy thing to deny the guy.

My New Years wish is that clinicians find ways to think about FND that aren't stigmatizing or assume people are overreacting: ie: "catastrophizing" - if you have intense pain it's normal to be bothered by it "health anxiety" - if your leg stops working it's normal to worry about why that is

This poem by two eleven-year-olds becomes amazingly great. (Via this wonderful blog: jacket2.org/commentary/t... )
He'd be black.
He'd be blue.
And I'd ride him
to New York, to see snow again, or to
Australia, to see all there is to see, everything
green and lots of trees
and nobody would know, just me
and the horse.

The horse can find our family a house.
He can turn into trees, lakes, pools
and camouflage himself from people. He can talk.
I'd tell him secrets about love,
then have him do my homework.
The horse can do the chores.

And he could be us! Take over
when I get in trouble—when I want to
go on a date, the horse stays home
looking like me, doing homework.The horse can do everything first
then show me how, I'd learn
to gallop,
to be an animal, a deer, perhaps,
and how that felt. I'd live in the forest
and drink from the stream
and speak to animals that knew how to hibernate,
I'd ask about the trouble they'd had
and warn them about hunters.
And the horse would be at school
and come home all sweaty.

Over the forest I'd fly, looking for food
and love, looking for the falls in the forest,
half person, half horse, doing
more than we ever do!

Till the magic went out. Slowly
slowly I am becoming a horse, I will be
a horse all my life, I used too much magic,
went too many places, did too many things . . .
I am becoming a horse, the horse is becoming me,
he is forgetting he was the horse. In the little
door of his mind he thinks of
his past of animals, he feels a little bad,
but there's a whole new life ahead for him,
and I am becoming a wild horse, running
with wild horses, traveling the world.
