Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes? plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

preparing to give another Trans People & "Biological Sex" talk, so I though I'd re-up this – it's an in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

i am normal and can be trusted with an empty movie theater

the AMC slogan is “we make movies better,” but in my experience what they actually do is make movies a little washed out and blue. i wonder what happened to all the adult movie theaters. i’m not horny right now, it’s just the fact that i’m the only person in the theater makes me wonder if i could get away with rubbing one out. even though i’m not horny, i get turned off when a trailer for a ronald reagan biopic plays, followed by a trailer for national anthem (2024). national anthem (2024) is like, some queer, heavily americana drama, which i really think is a movie no one asked for. the queers i know all hate america, and the self-identified americans, well. i’m at AMC cherry hill to watch a movie about a singer songwriter who goes to a biker rally in south dakota. she leaves the home she shares with her ailing mother in ohio to take a chance on her music career. i used to be a musician. i moved to boston for it and quit just months later. the americana notes of the movie are unavoidable, but the romantic interest describes himself as a “fuck no, america” kind of guy. the cellist whose studio i was in when i went to boston turned out to be more interested in making a buck off me than anything else, plus i seriously fucked my back playing piano my first week there. sometimes if i masturbate for too long the injury acts up again.

We cannot take kids books this unabashedly and openly trans for granted and this looks so cute. Also, I will always support a book with a great pun title.

If you love science fiction, we've got two new neuroqueer, gender-inclusive, earth-conscious sci-fi books with a trans author, a trans illustrator, and a trans voice actor.

Gauntlette The modern world was built around the idea that magic would stay contained. When Itias sees his best friend trapped in a protest turning violent, he does the unthinkable; he pulls on his grandfather's...

Hey, I read a lot of books and I am usually very introvert and shy and don't share any but I would really like to recommend Gauntlette!

It has trans sapphic romance, super heroes, magic school, fox girls (among other types), and is super gay and well written!
