For those without first-hand experience with government systems, let me offer you a personal anectdote to give you an idea of how boned we are:

Support trans authors by buying AND READING our books. Financial support is absolutely good and necessary, but we write first and foremost to tell our stories. Our stories need to be told, and, frankly, you need to hear them.

the thing about “trans women are women” is that if you truly believe that — and you should — then you will become horrified beyond measure at what we as a society are willing to put young girls through, just because they are trans

it’s not just a statement of fact; it’s a recognition of brutality

At terribleminds, the 2025 writer's resolution is live, if you care to make with the clicky-clicky:

Writer’s Resolution 2025: Change Your Story
The author makes a story. But a story also makes the author. What I mean is this: I think as writers, as authors, as storytellers and artists, we build ourselves along the way out of the narrative …

I like this advice! I'm not going back to the constant obsession over the latest tweet and outrage cycles. I'll be focused on harmful policies & taking actions against those policies with a focus on hope.

And I'll always support artists!

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
