Picture it — the moon is full, the fog is thick, and the monster… is us! In this episode, RJ (they/them) dives fang-first into the history of trans representation in horror — from monstrous mirrors and misunderstood villains to the beautiful, bloody art of reclaiming our power.

Check out the latest TRANcestor episode on Alan L. Hart, the medical man who changed TB.

Also, the pre-transition zombie stare is toooo real. I wouldn't feel right sharing Alan Hart's pre- and post- photos without also sharing my own!

so, we got a poem published for the first time yesterday! especially relevant for #PluralSky, here's the link:

manyworlds.place/issue-7/rose...

[note: contains reference to suicide & inner-world death]
plurality: a personal primer by rose& elysium -
to appreciate us in all our complexity, the first word to learn is Plural: an inclusive label for anyone who shares their body with at least one other person; in other words, anyone who isn’t a single...

This week, we’re diving into how the medical model has shaped trans policies across 16 countries. From forced sterilization to surgical requirements, trans people have been systematically coerced into changing their bodies just to be seen as legitimate.

Meet Alfred AKA "Alfie" the Trans Embodiment Podcast mascot, background vocalist, and unapologetic star of the show. He’s a tuxedo cat, but don’t let the formalwear fool you, he’s less ‘distinguished gentleman,’ more ‘chaotic gremlin with opinions.’

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

We have always been here.
