DOJ is attempting to weaponize the privileged and confidential communications with private counsel and plaintiffs who brought lawsuits against gender affirming care. Attorneys at DOJ Civil resigned rather than targeting trans youth and their providers.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

This is literally fine and normal? People watch porn, guys. So much would be made so much easier if you could all just accept that and move on. Like… seriously.

Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial.

Hey #writingstudies and #teamrhetoric folks: do you grapple with unrealistic labor expectations? Ever feel like you are just not enough? This collection argues for the enoughness and power of being "adequate," and it's pretty great!

The part we far too often don't talk about when we finally get the gender-affirming surgeries that we need is how hard recovery is--and I don't mean the physical stuff. Today, on Stained Glass Woman, we're looking at The Other Recovery.
