Like the constant Trolley Problem chatter feels linked to the over-eagerness of the Yglesiases and Newsoms of the world to find vulnerable people to sacrifice for the greater good. Like it's a way to make HURTING people somehow seem VIRTUOUS.
No thanks!
Thanks for maintaining this thread, friend! I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of weird, very trans spec fic come out in the last couple of years, all of which is accessible through my website: www.sylviealthoff.com/writing
Thank you for speaking up. I’m in the same boat as the other folks you described: creative, trans, looking to flee for my family’s safety. It’s utterly infuriating, exhausting, etc.
If anyone’s interested in checking out some weird spec fic, here’s what I’ve put into the world:
So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?
Post links if you can.
Buy stuff if you can.
They hate when people stand up.
So glad the NYT still finds time for bullshit AI apologia with all the transphobia cluttering their schedule. A gal who has it all!
AND the New Orleans trad jazz / insectoid aliens short story of your dreams!
My story "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" is live right now in Luna Station Quarterly 65! Jazz-playing alien bugs! Queer love triangles! Awkward social interactions! All this, plus (and I really can't emphasize this enough) jazz-playing alien bugs!

Have you voted for my short story "Hot Teeth" in the 2025 Locus Awards? I challenge you to find a more deserving dentistry-based space heist story in the collection Lesbians in Space, edited by @galactoglucoman.bsky.social, @wctracy.bsky.social, and @heathertracyauthor.bsky.social !
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I cannot despair
I have to keep onward and we all must keep onward and pour our hearts out and do our good work so someday there is an end to this where all the wronged peoples of the world are victorious and relieved and the next generation is rejoicing and all the tyrants are ashes they dance in.
Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.
Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.
the best time to stand up for us was years ago when we told you where this was all heading
until cis people decide to stop this,
it’s gonna continue
you see where this is heading
the second best time to stand up for us is NOW
This is what I need cis folks to understand.
It's been a decade.
Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Finally, an answer to the age-old question.
What's the matter with Kansas? Fucking everything, apparently.
But I can't. With about eight hours' notice, my legally obtained driver's license was invalidated. I've never even had a speeding ticket. Now if I drive my car to work, I will be breaking the law.
I just want to contribute to my community. I just want to teach my students—the children of my fellow Kansans. I just want to greet my neighbors and support local businesses and share words and music and hard work.
Also, my very trans SF story “The Visitor” came out in The Future Fire issue 2026.75 futurefire.net/2026.75/fict...
My story “Sin Crouches at the Entrance” appeared in The Daily Tomorrow! dailytomorrow.substack.com/p/sin-crouch...
Friends, the story I've contributed to this collection is one of my favorites I've ever written, and the cause is a worthy one, especially nowadays. If you could use some help imagining better times after the bad times (and some extremely queer hijinks), give this project some love!
Just what we all need from me: another form. As if this one isn’t trouble enough already!
Another day going to work and doing my little chores while my entire body is flashing red and emitting a pained beeping sound.
The lasting way to fight fascism—and the thing each of us can do—is to liberate your mind from the fascist framework. Stop being frightened of the things that fascists say are frightening. Start looking at those things as liberation. Fear the things fascists say make us safe. See them as prisons.
