Today is National Coming Out Day!

It's also Freedom to Read Day, aka the last day of Banned Books Week.

This feels right — because the main reason they try to ban books is to keep people from dreaming they could ever come out.

Hey! You!

Read trans authors!

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Every past version of you was trying to protect your truth until you could live it safely.

That’s not wasted time. That’s loyalty.

Transitioning later in life is how you repay that loyalty, by finally giving yourself the freedom you always deserved.

Thanks! I think it was more i got frustrated but I usually just spend some time away and try again with a clear mind. (Didn’t help that my first ever save got corrupted so I had to restart) Maybe third times the charm!

Kody is one of the best people in comics. Full stop.

You won't find anyone kinder, friendly or more supportive of the comics making community. He's been one of my most reliable friends in comics for years and someone who well and truly deserves all the support in the world. Lend a hand.

Kody Okamoto @kodyisover.com · 5d

So just once again reiterating, if you wanna be a patron of my art, every dollar of your support goes really, REALLY far in making a tangible difference in my life.

Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors?

Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it!

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.
