This is one more of the many steps descending towards complete fascism.

From what we hear through the grapevine, there's already people out at Foley Sq.

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report.

Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today.

Trans and gender diverse people didn't crash the economy. They aren't why your bill is so high. They aren't why fear permeates the air. Immigrants are none of these things, either. The people in charge cannot place responsibility on convenient minorities and explain away failure.

Trans-Visibility begins with Trans-Joy 🎉

Here is my joy.

#SilenceIsErasure

A woman is standing in a room with one arm raised. They are wearing a sleeveless, brown dress cinched with a belt. The background features a green wall adorned with art, tables with chairs, and a cushioned bench decorated with patterned pillows. The floor is wooden, and a wooden door with glass panels is visible to the right.

From my latest piece.

The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

Ultimately, Freeman’s column isn’t pitiful because it rubs salt in the wound—it’s pitiful because it lays bare the true aim of the anti-trans movement. This was never about policy or bathrooms or youth sports. It’s about a cohort of people who feel culture shifting beneath their feet, who were raised in a world where casual cruelty toward transgender people was normalized, and who now find themselves resentful that society has moved on. Rather than reflect or grow, they double down, demanding that their revulsion be seen as virtue—that their discomfort be not only accepted but celebrated. Freeman’s yearning for social validation, cloaked in the language of righteous indignation, reveals the movement’s hollow core. The title of her piece says it all: this isn’t about the law, it’s about the isolation that comes from being wrong. And no court decision—no matter how cruel—will win back the friendships lost to hate, or rescue those who chose the wrong side of history from the consequences of that choice.

I’m a trans woman with a 9 year old son. I do all of these things and more while also having a high stress job.

The audacity of this gives away the game that they don’t even think we are human.

the level of cracked where you can't conceive of trans women cooking

tweet by someone called June Slater:
These trans women. Do they ever do things like women actually do, run a home, cook, put the washer on, get the kids to school, visit relatives in care homes, budget the bills, clean the house, chauffeur kids about? You know the reality of being a woman!

I have really good news to announce to everyone.

Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care.

Good work everyone.

This Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month, please remember our neurokin who lost their lives to systemic racism and ableism.

Rest in peace Victor Perez. And I still haven’t forgotten Ryan Gainer, who we lost last year. 💔

Background is purple with a crumpled paper texture. On top, text reads, “They should still be here.” Below the text is a cutout photo of Victor Perez, a 17-year-old Puerto Rican Autistic teen, and a cutout photo of Ryan Gainer, a 15-year-old Black Autistic teen.
