i spent decades not liking what i saw in the mirror, and i didn't even realise it.

i make zero apologies for enjoying the view now.

Why does bi culture have to be so transphobic most of the time?

I have *never* seen any "bi meme" that isn't "haha woah traps are the ultimate fantasy", "best of both worlds right?" or being like "thank god I'm bi so I can date trans women without feeling disgusted and revolting like straight guys would".

Not talking about bisexual people in general, obviously it's nothing wrong with being bi. I'm bi too. I specifically mean "bi communities" as in bi-specific groups.

Ich bekenne, daß ich wenige Bücher mit solchen Schwierigkeiten lese
wie die Evangelien. Diese Schwierigkeiten sind andre, als die, an
deren Nachweis die gelehrte Neugierde des deutschen Geistes einen
ihrer unvergesslichsten Triumphe gefeiert hat. Die Zeit ist fern, wo
auch ich, gleich jedem jungen Gelehrten, mit der klugen Langsamkeit
eines raffinirten Philologen das Werk des unvergleichlichen Strauss
auskostete. Damals war ich zwanzig Jahr alt: jetzt bin ich zu ernst
dafür. Was gehen mich die Widersprüche der "Überlieferung" an? Wie
kann man Heiligen-Legenden überhaupt "Überlieferung" nennen! Die
Geschichten von Heiligen sind die zweideutigste Litteratur, die es
überhaupt giebt: auf sie die wissenschaftliche Methode anwenden, wenn
sonst keine Urkunden vorliegen, scheint mir von vornherein verurtheilt

Wenn der #Faschismus kommt, scheint noch immer die Sonne. Alles ist normal. Nur #trans Menschen verlieren ihre Rechte. Und Immigranten. Und Behinderte. Und ich. Und Sie.

Folks - if you like my writing and have the means, please support me on #Patreon. I want to set up an annual subscription option, but don't meet the minimum earnings to do so ($200/mo for at least 3 mos). Any amount is appreciated.

Huge thanks to Dinux for donating a canopy to The Genital Autonomy Collective! This increases accessibility tabling at events like Pride to raise awareness for Hadachek v. Oregon, a case fighting to expand the genital cutting ban to all children, including circumcision of those assigned male at birth and intersex kids.

This case has deep implications for trans, intersex, and gender-diverse folks. Our shared fight is for *intersectional* bodily autonomy, and Oregonians have a unique chance to lead the way.

GAC offers uniquely intersectional advocacy opportunities and support groups for those impacted:

I’ll also be using the canopy for local mutual aid when not tabling. Thank you again for supporting this work!

Dylan Mulvaney gets her ‘firecrackers’ out on the cover of PAPER Magazine

I am loathe to link to something on Substack, but given how little good news we read nowadays I wanted to share this one: 17 Montana Republicans Cross Party Lines, Defeat Anti-Trans Bill After Nonbinary Rep's Speech

Here's the first paragraph (which I split in half), so you don't need to click through:

"On Tuesday, Montana’s House considered Senate Bill 164, legislation that would classify gender-affirming care for transgender youth as felony child endangerment. The bill would not only target doctors and nurses, but also parents—including those merely passing through the state.

"Though the vote was expected to be close, a powerful floor speech from Representative SJ Howell prompted a wave of Republican defections. The bill was defeated 40–58, becoming one of several anti-trans proposals to fail this year following strong speeches by Montana’s transgender and nonbinary lawmakers."

Hey #Trans #Librarians and allies, help spread the word. A friend & some others did a paid panel for UNC SILS 1 year ago today, on trans & gender diverse experiences in #libraries, but the school still hasn’t paid them & continues to stonewall. It is unconscionable for them to renege on paying trans people to tell their stories & treat them like problems for pursuing what they are owed. Be warned fellow #trans folks about working with University of North Carolina. https://stephengkrueger.com/2025/04/08/happy-birthday-to-the-panel-that-unc-sils-still-has-not-paid-us-for/
