Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender woman’s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying

Le changement d’état civil attaqué de toutes parts ! Le changement de la mention sexe au tribunal devient payant à partir du 1er mars 2026. Le budget 2026 introduit une contribution de 50€ pour saisir un tribunal judiciaire, y compris pour les changements d’état civil. LR et la Macronie veulent imposer la présentation du casier judiciaire pour changer de prénoms. La proposition de loi du député Charles Rodwell a été adoptée en commission des lois et compliquerait également le changement de prénoms des personnes étrangères.

Après son adoption début février grâce au recours au 49.3 par le gouvernement de Sébastien Lecornu, le budget 2026 a été officiellement promulgué ce 19 février. Le budget intègre de multiples baisses d’aides et met en péril l’accès à de nombreux droits. Il supprime à partir du 1er juillet les APL pour les étudiant·es étranger·ères non-européen·nes, augmente de 50% le prix des cartes de séjour et de résidence, et réduit la participation de la France dans les fonds de santé mondiaux, comme le Fonds mondial de lutte contre le SIDA, la tuberculose et le paludisme.

Political Heterosexuality, or: The Tragedy of Feminism On the specter that is haunting feminism.

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me.

Like, really got away from me.

It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

Promo graphic for Unlimited Combat Dolls, indicating it's two months from release. The cover is on the left, with text on the right reading 'two months until activation'. Text below the cover reads 'part one out february 10, 2026'. On the bottom right there is a quote from the book. In an instant she rounds on me and rushes close, golden eyes burning into mine, wild and focused, an intensity so high I’m compelled to take a step back. “I take it to my grave,” she whispers. “Do you understand? If I could have lived my life in ignorance I would have. I regret the things I know, the things I carry, and I will spare you that burden whether you like it or not, because you deserve better, because I love you. If you’re so desperate to know, ask Torvei. I will not be responsible for what happens to you after. I will not be the one who sets you rotting away inside like Wolf. It hurts. It hurts to watch her suffer and it hurts to watch that suffering find its way into you. I am the dam. The pain stops with me.” And without waiting for a reply, she walks away, her stride long and urgent in the sort of way that suggests she doesn’t want me to see her cry.

One solitary month remains between you and UNLIMITED COMBAT DOLLS.

She was married. Her wife raised the child with her. Her father put it out that the boy "didn't have anyone," seemingly as a means of pre-emptively assuming custody over the child. To continue this narrative both insults the dead woman and adds to the surviving parent's grief.

Trans/Rad/Fem 1 No Country For Non-Men An unflinching look at the 'honor culture' of diaspora feminism. by Talia Bhatt Dec 29, 2025 The cover image is of a woman whose face is obscured by shadow, save for a single eye.

Today, I wish to discuss how the difficult questions of third world feminism are elided and obscured by Western feminists---both white and not---and kindly ask feminists all over the world to grow a fucking pair.

This one. This is the piece I hope I'm remembered for. www.jezebel.com/when-surgeon...

While Maxwell Giordano is going through the motions at home, his alter ego Maxine is living the dream. She’s found her place — on the cheer squad, among friends — but keeping her two lives separate is driving her crazy. Taylor Scott’s senior year is going better than she’d ever dreamed, and she owes it all to Maxine. But the secrets are piling up, and one mistake could bring their carefully constructed world crashing down. Worse, she’s falling for Maxine, a girl who might not even exist after graduation! Together, they must face school, the squad, and Max’s traditionally minded family, all while concealing a love that is becoming impossible to deny. So many cheerleaders it's like Aliens to the first book's Alien! She found herself! Yay! So what now? It gets pretty gay! It gets really gay actually! Surviving high school in 2003!

In ALL THE WAY, it’s Max and Taylor (and friends) against the world. ALL THE WAY launches December 18th, in ebook and in paperback!

Understanding Transmisogyny, Part Five: Natalism, Nativism, Nationalism Trans/Rad/Fem Title over a map of India and China with a compass resting on it.

Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction.

And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake.

Text below the cover reads 'part one out february 10, 2026'. On the bottom right there is a quote from the book. “I suppose I don’t know any other way. The alternative scares me. Doesn’t it scare you?” She seems to give that some thought, letting the bear alone for a moment as she stares at the nearest wall. “Sure it does, I guess,” she replies. “It feels like letting down your guard, doesn’t it? Like the moment you let yourself expect the world to be gentle it’ll pick that moment to be cruel?” “And I’ll find myself among the empties. Or allow myself to become like the dolls we met yesterday. Arguably a worse fate.” “So you’ve never felt safe? Not once? I mean truly and deep, that level of comfort that touches your soul, where you know for sure that no harm will come to you.” [UNEXPECTED MOTION DETECTED @187°] [THREAT ASSESSMENT INCONCLUSIVE] I glance sharply over my shoulder and pull down my visor, flipping through vision modes as the dark goes blue then orange then green… loose paper trash, rustling in the entry way, caught in a little eddy as the wind rushes past. “No I suppose not,” I reply.

C'est dur à expliquer mais je vais essayer de (re)faire l'argument d'en quoi l'affaire Brigitte Macron, tout en étant une affaire de transphobie, n'est pas une affaire qui concerne les femmes trans.

I mean, I do enjoy reading low stakes lesbian romance books where every issue is caused by poor communication skills and they solve everything at the end to get their HEA to relax before bed, but sometimes I also crave flawed protagonists and messy queers who make mistakes

The thing is, both Icarus and Moros lean so much into the "non-threatening sweet and sensitive softboi" archetype that they end up feeling a bit bland compared to the toxic yuri options which at least have personnalities

The weirdest thing about the whole ending thing is that there's a reveal about Hekate and Melinoë after the epilogue which hints a what could have been a (imo) better story that could potentially lead to a similar conclusion while not making you feel like the MC has no agency in her own story

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the left, half-elf woman with white hair, speaking to Felt (not visible in the art), and next to her is Ottilie (human with brownish orange hair, right of the canvas), looking at her (respectfully.. maybe) with a love stare. (mogus forgor to add don't waste time looking lmao)

that moment when she's yapping passionately
