Eat all the stars
Shroud galaxies in twilight
Eat all the stars
Become a cosmic death blight
Eat all the stars
And when the mortals start to scream for you
That's when their fears will all come true

What's a good introductory chapter/article by a trans woman that I can give students? Everything I've ever read has fallen out of my head at this request and I've only got transmascs and enbies on my list.

Do it with a chicken, not a turkey. Check.
There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.
