Just had a lovely coffee date with a friend who happens to be a cis woman. It got me thinking about the cis friends who ask me how to be an ally (subtext: activism).
Activism is great (and needed to stave off our g-cide), but we also really need the friendships, the love, the normalcy, the hugs.

Sure are a lot of Christians out there who operate like there’s a Bible verse that says,
“And Jesus spoke to the multitude, saying, ‘Smear the queer.’”

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.
Hi all—I'll be periodically live-posting today's FTC event on GAC's supposed "deceptive trade practices."
Trump's anti-trans agenda is getting creative—cracking down on (or at least intimidating) GAC providers w/ misapplied consumer protection laws. The event will be...interesting.

7/9/2025 - Late last night, I dropped a new single in my mixtape memoir series.
It’s about playing with my sister’s dolls, being “caught,” and then retreating into shame, anger, and mimic of the boys around me.
Please read, share, and subscribe.
Love y’all!

An update on my reporting from March: RAINN has taken a step further and banned resources for trans people and immigrants.
Many had defended RAINN, saying they would still serve trans people. Clearly that was wrong.
NYTimes did the recent reporting, but did not cite me.
