October Energy:

Whatever else I do in 2025, I promise this to you:

I will always celebrate my trans family's thirst posts, W's, and little moments of joy.

And I will always commiserate with y'alls losses, struggles, and pain.

There's not enough of that in this world, and there should be. 💜

If you are angry at those who didn't vote for Harris over the genocide, rather than her for handing the country to Trump, you don't value Palestinian lives.

There's probably a whole lot of other marginalized groups you don't value, either.

Edit: there were roughly 20 comments saving I'm trans. or a cross dresser or iust savina I'm a man Most of the comments were just plain gross and hateful. Anything transphobic I deleted myself as soon as I saw it come up. 1 also noticed that several people deleted their own negative comments about cross dressing or "that's a man" comments after being called out. So yes you won't see these comments below. I originally added this psa below like a week ago in the hopes that people will stop making these comments. I want to emphasize again that I am upset to be called something I'm not but what upsets me most is that people are make vile comments about trans and cross dressina individuals. Using trans as an insult is never okay. 1 know it may seem like "she didn't even qaet that many negative

Using trans as an insult is never okav. I know it may seem like "she didn't even get that many negative comments and so many positive" and that true! But it doesn't make the negative ones less hurtful. I have no idea whv this has to be more complicated than it is. I just want to stop hate from spreading. I also respond to as many comments as I can herauise I'm a small creator

Democrats usually lose when they move to the right but they keep doing it. Perhaps it is more about establishment Democrats being conservatives, or about selling out to donors, than it is about looking for a winning strategy.

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility
By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;
