The Nostalgic Trans Woman Is a Beautiful Thing to be.

“I don’t want to let fear stop me from doing the things I love. I want to let love stop me from fearing the things that I do.”

Caitlyn Jenner Appeals To Trump Over Passport Birth Gender Policy Jenner said that her passport listed her birth gender, despite efforts to correct it.

If there’s one thing money can’t help you avoid, it’s gender based violence.

Everyone’s excited about Heated Rivalry, but all I can think about is WHY this is successful and why now.

We Can Care What People Think I actually think you should.

People always told me "you shouldn't care about what other people think" when I was growing up. But I actually think that's pretty bad advice.

What a weird way to tell on yourself.

Right wing extremism in this country did not start with Trump. He is a symptom, not the cause. Getting rid of him is a thing we should strive for. But don’t lie to yourself thinking him being removed will fix what is fundamentally wrong with this country.

But most mainstream media has been taken over by billionaires, alleged liberal politicians are bending to right wing policies, and those things aren’t changing with an election.

We are not voting our way out of this.

Too many people are counting down to the end of his term, expecting there to be an end to this.

What they don't want you to know about gender affirming care.

Conversion therapy isn’t only dangerous and immoral. It’s also just plain ineffective.

You can’t stop somebody from being who they are. You can only stop/delay them from embracing their truth.

From Ally to Accomplice

After years of teaching gender affirming practices, I have decided to build one master course. From inclusive and affirming language to interrupting microaggressions. From unpacking privilege to exploring identities beyond the binary. From debunking myths to fighting disinformation.

Thoughts on Visibility On the eve of Transgender Day of Visibility

On the eve of Trans Day of Visibility, this week's #DearBabyMaybe is about my feelings on visibility. You can read the whole letter to my 12 year old self on Substack.

The Olympics banned trans women and apparently it inspired me to start making skits again.

This is not about protecting women, it’s about controlling women.

Don’t let disinformation and fear mongering get to you. They want you to believe that women are weaker and lesser than men. They want you to believe that is biological destiny. They want you to believe that to be born male is to be born superior.

The Olympics have been open to trans women for 22 years.

In those 22 years, only one trans woman has actually competed.

She placed last. In weightlifting. After three failed snatch lifts.

Do you have the specific fork(s) you like?

Been thinking a lot about double standards...

Who Are You? — Believe in Maybe How would you answer that question?

“Your body is yours, but your body is not you.

Some people think that your body is you, and some people think that your body is yours to use and navigate the world with.”

You're. Welcome.

Does anyone else have repiphanies? Is there an actual word for this?

I watched Episode 4 of Heated Rivalry and had a lot of feelings.

Democrats are abandoning gender affirming policies - something that they only barely embraced for a minute there.

What is a woman? — Believe in Maybe Am I really doing this? Here we go… The question of what is a woman has been posed a lot in the mainstream, so in honor of women's History Month, I figured it was worth unpacking. Most dictionaries will define woman as “adult human female.” I agree with the adult and the human, but what does female

"When people ask me what it means for me to be a woman or how I knew that I was one, I talk a lot about how I related to other people. I talk about how I didn't fit in with boys growing up but I did feel more in community with girls."
