I'm Canadian, so I only knew of him from references from folks online, and, just, how everyone actively enabled him, with full knowledge, from *day one* is...

The JP for some reason still did the “if anyone present knows any reason why these two should not be wedded” etc ceremony bit; Veronica playfully looked over at me with an expression like “Well?” and I acquiescently did the “my lips are sealed” gesture and winked at her and she laughed out loud

I think a lot of it came from when they tried to get ahead on banning gay marriage, and because gay people were able to tell their stories the public side with them.

By preventing trans people from telling their stories, no one can empathize.

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

A year-and-a-half ago I started getting really into trans (mostly transfem) indie/self-published fiction, there's *so much* of it from the past few years and a lot of it is quite good, and it's been a great way to find community.

I wish more would check out trans indie stuff generally

The 2025 TFR Reader’s Choice Awards Over 275 authors, critics, editors, and readers came together to vote on their favorite transfeminine literature of 2025.

I mean, I have lists...

Tends more towards SF/F and eggfic, but there's a *lot* of good stuff from the past few years.

Anything in particular you're looking for?

Also, the winners and runners-up here are a good place to start, chosen by community vote: thetransfemininereview.com/2025/12/31/t...

Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.

I know that being in a castle with medical staff obsessing over you is being presented as a good thing, but it sounds like a horror story to me.

I both do and don't want to know what possible context explains any of that excerpt, really.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

come on man.

this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years

The truth of the matter is that I've been terribly depressed for quite some time. Transitioning publicly and receiving massive swathes of right wing hatred coupled with a devastating death that happened in October of 2024 severely diminished my ability to envision a joyful future.

encouraging new trans women to take names like Lilith and Zoey because i think it's really important to keep cultural traditions alive with the next generations

Stonewalll is done.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Apropos of nothing, if the creator of something you cherished turns out to be a horrible person, the answer isn't to close your hearts for fear of disappointment, it's to love more. Love with abandon, because there's always new art to find, love so much as to always outweigh the disappointments. ❤️

Youtube comment: @ScotClose • 3 hours ago I'm disappointed that you blocked me on Bluesky for trying to bring some real skepticism to this topic after you strongly implied that Platner is a Nazi and ridiculed people for asking for evidence. If you're only a skeptic about topics you disagree with, are you really a skeptic? Reply 0 replies ^ Graham Platner is an Embarrassing Liar WE @RebeccaWatson • O seconds ago I'm not shocked that a man who openly defends an obvious liar with a Nazi tattoo is also apoplectic that the woman he was yelling at opted out of a conversation with him. This is psychotic behavior and you should see a therapist.

PSA: never in the history of humanity has a woman cut a man out of her life for being insane and then changed her opinion of him after he found other methods to contact her.

poking around a bit here I just suddenly spotted this

🦋 Team Butterfly Forever 🦋 Mature - Novel - Users' Choice! Ten years ago, the Butterfly Knights saved the world. That was the easy part. A magical girl story. Crossposted to Scribblehub on a (considerably) delay. Also there's a TV Tropes.

Do you ever think about how Georges Bataille and his French sociologist friends all got so obsessed with ritual human sacrifice that they formed a secret society to conduct one, but they couldn’t do it because nobody wanted to be the executioner and everyone wanted to be the victim?

A screenshot from the ending of the English localisation of the 1987 arcade version of the video game "The Ninja Warriors". Scrolling white text over a background depicting the collapsed ruins of a large mansion reads: BUT THE PEACE DID NOT CAME. BECAUSE NINJA WARRIORS, THEY ARE THE IMMORTAL MURDER MACHINES. . . . .

LBR, the UK state wants conversion practices mandatory, not just legal

I suspect it's more that JKR has more pull with the rich and powerful than they do, and they don't want to be given mean looks at the fancy dinners.

"I believed in it; I still do," she said, but added that pushing for self-ID was "not top of the list" of Stonewall's priorities. "We are an LGBT organisation, of course we're going to be there for trans people, so that's integral to who we are and what we do. But our priorities now are very much focused on things like securing justice for military veterans and compensation for what they've endured. We're currently working very hard to ensure that there's a ban on conversion therapy in this country, which is incredibly important."

Like this is all fine and good as aims, but in the end… we’re in an existential crisis Kezia! Stonewall said they were behind us just a few years and now they’ve dropped us and we’re really in CRISIS! And this is the ceiling of your ambition?

A graphic featuring all the published work of author Kay F. Atkinson. On the top row are the covers for the Fleet and Fabricant trilogy, described as a 'surreal lesbian horror space opera' with 'robot girls, eldritch monsters, and trauma bonds'. On the bottom row are the covers for the Unlimited Combat Dolls duology, with one blurred out as it hasn't been released. It's described as a 'bittersweet apocalyptic cyberpunk revenge drama', with 'killing machines, falling in love, and feverish vengeance'.

Curious about my work and wondering where to start? This should help!

Don't worry, it's all explicitly trans and lesbian :3

As ever, two things are true:

1. Caitlyn Jenner is an awful person who does not give the slightest shit about other trans folks and will throw us all under the bus without a second thought

2. If you misgender her, you also don't give a shit about trans folks except as a club against Republicans

trans women have a biological advantage at being hot now

Please don't tell me again how woke and great the Chicago pope is.

There are reasons I have expressly requested to never be taken to a Catholic hospital for any reason whatsoever. This piece touches on some of them.

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.
