One of the hardest things about the last 12 months is just how much most people are not paying attention. At all. Even people with trans loved ones are missing huge chunks of the escalating violence against us.
The scope of Trump's campaign to drive trans Americans from public life is vast. On the last day of 2025, Evan Urquhart attempts to capture all of what we lost.

The Year We Lost Everything — Assigned
An authoritarian government, a captured press and cowardice at the head of most major institutions led to a year of losses for trans people’s safety and equality in the US.

The main problem with liberal democracy is not the process itself, but what lies within the hearts of those within the process.
She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

The only difference between Schmitt and typical anarchist thought on the state, is that Schmitt says the state is good and anarchists say the state is bad. Their analysis of how the state operates is otherwise identical.
I appreciate how honest this is. Yes, liberal democracy will inevitably hurt people and you must accept it. There is no better way to do things, it is procedurally necessary that we sell out others and draw borders around who deserves dignity and humanity.
Carl Schmitt was right, fuck me.

You have 14 days left to pre-order my debut book, Real Girls' Talk! Real Girls' Talk is a non-fiction book centered around the experiences of 7 trans women. In it, I discuss their fears, hopes, and struggles. I also incorporate the results of a major academic study I performed on/with trans women.

They feel comfortable fundraising off of us losing our healthcare.
Sarah McBride put out a fundraising post on her Instagram specifically denouncing Republicans for trying to ban gender-affirming health care for trans people. It's probably one of the most forceful statements I've read from her.

So, I’ve occasionally mentioned it on occasion, but the fact that so many people that fall under the trans umbrella are acting in a way that indicates they genuinely believe binary trans people on HRT owe it to the rest of the community to prioritize their voices above our own is becoming a problem.

One of the best things about working as a writer is that I don't have to put on makeup and a pushup bra to be taken seriously.
i didn’t realize there was legit another “pivot to video” thing happening & i want to write the 5 podcasts i listen to & assure them i will never watch them, not even if i’m stuck in an elevator for so long i have to eat the guy who was trapped with me & i had to kill him for trying to get fresh.
