OMG!
Who could possibly have seen this coming?!

Forcing teachers to out LGBTQ students to their parents puts kidsβ lives at risk. Some will die. Some will get kicked out & become homeless. Some will be sent to conversion therapy.
The choice to come out to oneβs parents belongs only to the kid & is no one elseβs damn business.

Accessories are so much fun.
One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.
Today is very much the reminder that the devil on my back isnβt done with me yet.
The sunlight breaking through recently has been a blessing, but itβs still difficult to hold onto the good things, itβs still hard to dance.
Ukrainian women in their 50s and 60s say they've embraced cheerleading as a way to cope with the extreme stress and anxiety of four years of Russia's full-scale invasion.
I'm not going gentle into that good night.
Not to mention a lovely new House bill that would classify me and my trans siblings as "sexually explicit".
If Congress passes this, no school in this country would be safe for trans kids.
The degree to which this is fucked up cannot be overstated.
Oh, there's a kicker too.
When the state revokes the licenses of trans folks, all their PII gets sent to the National Driver Register, which other states are required by federal law to check before issuing a license.
So they can't just pickup and move to another state to escape this cruelty.
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
βLife, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.β
What a complete load of horseshit.
Iβm not naΓ―ve. I know this countryβs never been very good about living up to the ideals it was founded on, and has never applied them equitably. But right now, we just keep moving further and further away from them.
They are going to do their damnedest to erase each and every trans person, to force us out of society.
How do I know? THEYβRE ALREADY TRYING!!!
But donβt worry, cis folks. They wouldnβt possibly come after any other minorities after us, right?
β¦
Right?
I live in one of the bluest parts of a blue state, but they are going to try to come for me and mine all the same.
And when they do, I have zero faith that my stateβs leadership is going to step up to the plate to defend us in any meaningful way.
My days of living with the anxiety of creeping fascism and erasure sure are coming to a middle.
Iβm lucky, and I know it. I live in a relatively safe state. Many of my trans siblings do not.
But if you think they wonβt try to pull this Kansas-style BS at the federal level, youβre delusional.
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
Got a second middle name to go after the first one?
Got a middle name?
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

Same, sister. Same.
Wow! Weird how this KEEPS HAPPENING with Jesse Singal!
It's almost like he has some kind of agenda or bias. Isn't it interesting that a perception or assumption of a pro-trans bias disqualifies you from writing about trans health, but an anti-trans bias doesn't?
Just push those too together a little bit and go with T'Lyn.
Seems like a great name.
transition is a choice that anyone can make for any reason, and if I do it because of the Latent Transsexual Genes Lurking In My Head and some other bitch does it because she wants to attract lesbian librarians by bending over in a pencil skirt by the periodicals we are both right to choose it
my politics
Hmm, I *do* have a pencil skirt....
What are your almost names?
I was almost a Sara, and was an Evelyn for a hot minute.
"Hmmm, let's start at the beginning", Amy moans into Mya's ear. Sitting at the typewriter, Mya can't see Amy standing behind her but feels Amy's soft hand moving across her shoulders.
"Yes, ma'am", Mya responds breathlessly.
"The first word should be 'the'", squeals Amy.
"Brilliant", says Mya. π§΅
sometimes I remember that real-life actual people have bought cheer uniforms with the logo of the fictional school from my trans lesbian cheerleader book series on it, and I do a happy and slightly stunned little giggle

Then again.... maybe she did after all.
