‘Black Hole Science’ experiments to stay warm after snow
My second entry for the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. A college course that excited me was on religious themes in literature. My favorite part of ‘Black Hole Science’ is called ‘Lives of the Saints.’
Thank you for the strange fiction of ‘Rainbear!!!!!!!!!’
My first entry for the 2026 Trans Rights Readathon. Living past hope, everything matters and nothing matters. This doesn’t make sense, so it’s tough to resolve it. But this book drills into it.
People need to be allowed to keep their ID cards
I hope everyone is aware of the threat to đłď¸â⧠ď¸trans Kansansâ IDs. If I had a Kansas ID, Kansas would ask me to surrender my ID. It’s nonsense. There’s never been a reckoning. Anti-trans moral panic is hotter than ever.
We need to talk about the Heritage Foundation âenchiladaâ
If youâre trans, lesbian, gay, bi, or a woman, youâre not safe from these people. The version of the USA that the Heritage Foundation wants is governed by whiteness and by Christian authority. Don’t let them do this to people of any age.
Beast, in or out of a net
Art by Tucker Lieberman. Everything moves in the twilight: the beast, the net, the Moon, the Earth it orbits, you. Nothing dances in the same place twice.
6 things mystified me in the trans film âI Saw the TV Glowâ
This 2024 movie is tough to crack, but finally I think I get it. In art, opaque describes a substance you expect to see through but can’t: paint, glass, a thin layer. Metaphorically, it’s something you can’t understand.
My last time in a swimming pool in Florida
Florida has made so many laws against me, I donât suppose I can go there anymore. Anti-transgender laws are meant to say that our existence is a logical impossibility. These laws are false, unworkable, bad-intentioned, and wrong.
How the bathroom verification cards would work
I think they want magnetic locks on public bathrooms. Donât put me on a registry of ‘safe’ trans people. No one stands to gain anything from it. Everyone would be harassed in search of the Mythical Bad Trans.
Transphobia, the Interrupting Cow
Prejudice obstructs continuous and coherent thought. Transphobia upholds gender-conformist and authoritarian aspects of culture. It tries to link itself to important feelings, but it isnât sincere.
Bathroom bills are intended to suppress trans life
They will require little or no proof. If the intent behind the law is to take you away, they donât care about proof. They donât care how youâre trans. They donât care that youâre harming no one.
WDI co-author doesnât support dressing however you like
In which Sheila Jeffreys says you canât really wear what you like & there might be nothing wrong with being a transphobe. Jeffreys doesnât believe people have the right to be trans. She thinks the reason to avoid a self-descriptor like âtransphobicâ is that itâs a naughty word.
I am not taking complaints about my face
Why the term âwomanfaceâ is wrong. How is having a womanface or a manface different from having a face? What must I stop doing? I am trans and I woke up with my face. This is my manface?
