3 Strategies to Fight Transphobia
Last October, a long essay was published in Volcánicas, over 30,000 words, arguably a book: “El terfismo en América Latina: un borrado histórico de las personas trans / Reportaje completo.” The reporters are Katia Rejón and Arlen Molina, and the analysis is by Katia Rejón, Matilde de los Milagros, and Catalina Ruiz-Navarro.
Gay and trans freedom is everyone’s freedom
Be who you are, choose your path, and let’s do it together. A big reason to support LGBTQ rights. We don’t have to continue our role in a bad situation. We can speak up and ask for help getting free. May we all be happier because we are here together.
Green Birds Are Birds
But green is a color. It’s a concept, not a thing you can point to — unless you find a thing or a living being that is green. A bird is a living being you might encounter in the air. You can see it in the world. Birds who are green are green and also birds. They’re green birds.

Why the Republicans chose Mike Johnson
He’s been made House Speaker because he’s serving their goals. Their goal is patriarchy, white Christian nationalism, and unfettered environmental destruction. They will make elections obsolete if they can.
The biggest political donation in U.S. history is funding anti-trans laws
Anti-trans strategy isn’t invented by ‘concerned parents.’ It’s paid for. Laws against gender-affirming care aren’t the result of a concerned parent movement. They’re a well-funded political strategy.
