Occasional writing.
Cathartic venting.
Puns that may qualify as war crimes.

I’m realizing that so much of our movies and shows are just GenX processing our trauma.

I’ll share some Christmas / trans joy with y’all:
This is me on Christmas in my childhood bedroom.
That mirror (which I hung in my closet as a teen) has never shown me a reflection that made me happy…until today.

This Christmas, I have just one wish for you:
Take a moment to really see the older people in your life.
Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible.
Share a smile with an elder you don’t know.
Offer a warm holiday greeting.
Small gestures carry enormous power.
Love,
Lynda 🎄✨

1. They said to the engineer who controls the search code & said, “Don’t let ppl search for Trump.”
2. The engineer said, “Exactly the word Trump?”
3. They replied with, “YES! Are you stupid?”
4. Engineer muttered under her breath, “Well fuck me for asking. Exactly Trump it is.”

I’m back in my lil nowhere hometown in Ohio for the first time since I transitioned.
It’s still how I left it.
Except.
Compared to how it was when I was a kid…there are so openly queer people.
I even saw an adorable older gay couple in Ulta.
Progress is happening in the most unexpected of places.

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.”
Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

If you feel bad for Zuko, but can’t consider that maybe Azula was the more tragic sibling, then we can’t be friends.

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.
"… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…"

There are a lot of ways to offer support to a trans person. If you have access to a hormone prescription, you can share. You can provide a listening ear. You could send a (consenting) string of dirty texts so evocative that they realize a month later they've accidentally memorized parts of them

Wild photo choice from Vanity Fair with this extreme close-up of Karoline Leavitt. Earlier this year, people criticized her thin lips. Now VF is showing us a photo where you can see obvious lip filler injection sites. Lol. www.instagram.com/p/DSUsOvHDpH...

Post your lock screen.
Mine is boring, but meaningful.
That’s a beach near Miami.
The day before my bottom surgery I buried the ashes of my old identity documents at sea.
Life changed for me in way I could never have imagined the next day.

Being trans is wild.
Our survival hinges on inhibitions we grip so tightly that they follow us into our dreams.
Yet when we release them?
I mean REALLY release them?
Well…
Last night I had a dream I was pregnant.
Her name was going to be Paige.
It wasn’t just a dream.
It’s a sign of how free I am.

A lot of journalists are writing stories about DIY now and I don't trust any of them not to scaremonger about it to build support for crackdowns. I've refused requests for interviews on this. Do not talk to the media about DIY.
Trans people need to be careful about talking about DIY. Yes talk about it in the general sense, quote the facts and figures but be careful. Don't give away sources to cis folks. Don't talk to journalists about the details. They're coming for it.
