Last day of Pride 2025. Very different from last year. I wasn’t out socially at the beginning of the month. This year I am much more comfortable being who I always was and who I am. I look forward to the challenges and changes in the future! I am PROUD. I am TRANSGENDER. I am a WOMAN! #pride2025

Last year’s Strategicon I was just starting to learn how to live and present as my authentic self. The 2nd pic is from about the same time a year ago. The 1st pic is me today, much happier. Thanks to everyone who has shown me so much support and acceptance! #transition

March was not a big month for games, especially since I missed one of our regular game nights, but I still had fun. Our Clank Legacy campaign continues with great fun, while I continue to avoid the sting of victory! 😜 #boardgames

Sharing with ALT text for those who aren't aware of the ongoing real world implications for trans people in the U.S. "I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state..."

Seeing people deflate when I explain simple facts of my reality bums me out.
Vent
"No, I can't go on that cruise to Italy with you, because I'm struggling to get a passport that doesn't put me in danger. I'm scared I might have trouble getting home."
"Yes, I'm looking at other job opportunities/leaving my position working at school, which I love so much. It's becoming unsafe for people like me to work with children - I got a death threat the other day."
"Will the doctor/therapist/etc. you're recommending be safe for someone like me?"
"Before I meet your parents, I need to know if they know about me. Will I be safe?"
"I'm afraid I could be arrested if I travel to that state for your wedding and need to use the restroom at the venue, I'm sorry."
Seeing it actually register on people's faces that this is my life- that these policies are real and affect real people they know and love- is a really bitter pill. On one hand, it's sad to have to break such depressing news. And on the other hand, it feels so isolating and infuriating that people who love me apparently have no clue any of this is happening unless I take the time to inform them.
Just needed to get that out. Thanks for listening.

We went surprise shopping earlier this week - wasn’t a plan, we just ended up at TJ Maxx, where I picked up this really cute top. Never used to enjoy clothes shopping before - must be a side effect of the estrogen! 🥰🏳️‍⚧️ #transgender

There are over 35,000 concessions suffered each year by girls in high school volleyball. The rate is 7.5 concussions per 100 players. Highlighting one incident with a unique variable while not highlighting the other 34,999+ concussions is nothing but manipulation.

One of the big games I played at Strategicon - REBIRTH, by Mighty Boards. Very simple to play - draw a tile, place a tile. That’s it. But where you place the tiles and why requires a good deal of thought and planning. Definitely recommend this. #rebirth

This, notably from a Meta board member, is where all of this ends. The only question is how quickly we get there. But his question — and the unknown that follows — is real.
Question from John Arnold on Twitter: What happens when the executive branch just ignores a judicial injunction, because that’s the inevitable endgame here. US Marshalls [sic] are supposed to enforce contempt of court orders but they’re under the executive branch. How is this going to play out?

We've been tipped off that a member of our Orange County community has had his top surgery cancelled by CHLA today - despite being 18 years old and a legal adult. We'll discuss this more on IG live tomorrow. It's a harsh reminder that the "it's only about minors" line is bullshit.

Schiff: Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their enablers? Because .. if they're going to raid the treasury... They don't want an FBI that's going to examine anything they're doing.

Honest to god, the legal orgs and attorneys need to sue one of the hospitals in one of these blue states with civil rights protections for not providing trans care to trans youth. The lawyers at these hospitals only understand legal threats. They are complying with Trump because they're scared.

I truly believe the only chance we have is through protests at hospitals that are complying with executive orders in advance. These hospitals are attempting to detransition patients or deny transition to new ones because they are scared of Trump.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal.   Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel. The State of Illinois will fight this unlawful order with everything we have.
