I have 3k left to raise on my GFM until June 18th. The overall goal is over halfway there, and it would suck to get stuck close to the end. Please help out if you can, it would mean a lot

yea sorry, but this paragraph is also shit, because it reduces “the ruling class” to “capitalists”, and omitting what chomsky himself said about the abuse of women. this is not only about capitalism, it is also about patriarchy. chomsky wasn’t just seduced by the ruling class, he is a man.
This is the definitive point by Chris Hedges, re: Noam Chomsky and Epstein. Chomsky's entire value as a public intellectual is to know what people like Epstein are up to and why. Him feigning ignorance is absurd, and if it were true it would undermine the rest of his career.

NEW STUDY!
@juliahusar.bsky.social and I have a grant to build trans health and wellbeing tech, and we need input from other trans women and transfems to make sure it serves us all well. This is research BY transfems FOR transfems and we're inviting y'all to be part of it. Also, we're paying!

Hi all, I'm leading a study! We're looking to understand transfem experiences searching for information related to transitioning online, setting transition-related goals, and making decisions based on the information acquired in these searches.

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats.

i fly out for revision in 8 days and could really use the help to get me through the 2-3 week recovery afterwards <3
Good News: On my last follow up, my FFS surgeon was confident things were okay.
Bad News: The whole process was way more expensive than I anticipated and all the money I had set aside to help me get through my revision next month is now gone.

--or else wade through a transphobic, misogynistic, and otherwise hateful cesspool
otherwise i would've just done what 99% of detransitioners--and anyone who transitions, really--do and disappear from visibility the moment i pass consistently enough and have no glaring legal trace of my history

but it's also an oversimplification of my stance to say that it's just "oh it's whatever, no big, don't worry about it." my primary motivation for writing my blog is so that fewer detrans women have to either figure themselves out over long years from first principles like i did,--

sure it can feel like more "your fault" when it's technically something caused by a specific voluntary action--but does it really feel that much better when it's just random?

my actual attitude towards unwanted physical changes, even the ones that are difficult or impossible to reverse, is much more mellow, because those kinds of changes come for all of us with illness or genetic surprises or age

"transition regret blah blah" okay well my actual regret is missing out on living as myself for 15 years. if i wasn't put in conversion therapy and met NB lesbians sooner, maybe i could've had those years, but womp womp

very close to 5k on this! please help if you can
Due to being a refugee, I only get invited to interviews for menial and service jobs. Because of my disability, I can't work those. I live on modest and sporadic freelance earnings and can't afford surgical expenses. Please help if you can 🙏
