Self-determination is a core principle of feminism - TERFs seem to have forgotten that So why have so-called ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminists’ moved to remove this concept from feminism altogether?

💜 "To move forward, we must understand that the most fundamental component of the anti-trans movement is not feminism. Rather, it is a fear of change and self-determination - reproducing a core tenant of patriarchy itself." - Alice Bethell

Síoda is noise reactive, so I walk her in the countryside or very early as city still [mostly] sleeps.

While the early walks were hard at the start (Scottish winters are harsh af), it’s become this beautiful way to experience land changing around us.

Like today, we enjoyed a frosty pink sunrise.

What can we learn from ‘neuroqueer’ theory? Increasing rates of neurodiversity are no more a trend than the higher proportion of people coming out - but there are some parallels between neurodiversity and queerness

🧠 "More and more of us are coming to terms with not only our queer identities, but also our neurodiversity."

I like to have a particular mug for therapy, almost ritualistically.

Last week however, I smashed my usual special mug (dyspraxic life ✌️).

So, I’ve spent this morning pottery painting a new one.

Balance will soon be restored ✨

Will I Be Legally Recognised In Death? More trans youth will now be recognised in their gender at time of death - but there's more to do to respect trans and nonbinary people in life.

🏳️‍⚧️ "At this time, nonbinary adults are still waiting for their identity to be legally recognised, meaning we will be misgendered in death as we are in life."

The outrageous restfulness going on while I’m in sessions.

Saw a real life Bob Ross painting today.

I internally exclaimed ‘Scoootland’, in a Scottish accent which I absolutely do not have.

📍 Kirkton Glen, Balquhidder

Picture of me smiling with mouth closed. I am wearing a t-shirt that says "I love trans folks with all my being" and Eli Conley underneath (it's a quote from one of his songs). Below it has the date for the event (Feb 13th at 4pm PST / 6pm CST / 7pm EST) and to the right there is a picture of the book cover. Besides the cover, on the left, it says "Join Alex to celebrate their newest book!".

Hello! I have a new book out with MJ Barker (and another one edited by me as well). Not feeling celebratory to be honest, but I know that gathering will feel good. Order the book early and join me please? Nobody turned away for lack of funds! More info at: www.alexiantaffi.com/book-launch Thank you!

All our events for the first half of 2025 are now available to book!

Been thinking a lot about queer grief in this moment 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

When we experience profound loss, most often, our grief-culture demands we do something to stop/solve it.

But when it’s the loss of rights+basic acknowledgement, we can’t pathologise our response.

It’s profoundly human to just not feel okay💔

I hear you on that ❤️‍🩹 Here’s a picture of Síoda snoozing during sessions this morning - what a life!

Faith from Buffy was my first ‘oh this definitely doesn’t feel straight’ crush.

Didn’t have the words to describe what that meant for my identity at the time [here’s looking at you 90s rural Ireland 👀], but I’m excited for a big queer rewatch now before the reboot 💖

I’m not sure what to share here yet, but in the absence of knowledge or inspiration, maybe the best place to start is walks with my dog Síoda.

Here’s short video of her ears blowing in the wind. Pure joy.

📍 Ballageich Hill, by Whitelee Windfarm.
✨ A fairly short walk with incredible views.
