I didn't come out to my son as #transgender on my terms, but the experience taught me about #parenting and trusting our #children. Now I have a relationship based on #honesty and #love as the person I've always been.

I told my son I was trans - nothing prepared me for the response
Living as a man was killing me, but I feared transitioning would harm my son’s chances at growing into a man.

#TransExclusionaryRadicalFeminism is based on #bioessentialism - that #genetics defines #identity. #Biology disagrees, and #feminism suffers as a whole because of it. Hear my explanation below:

Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance 2025. I honor my Brothers, Siblings, and Sisters who were taken by #antitransgender #violence this year. We can - and must - do better.

A blessing upon us all.

I was cooking dal soup and burned it. I run upstairs to boiling water all over, smoke pouring out of the pot, fire alarm screaming, the cat's yowling...

Then the house alarm goes off. Three times. While I'm trying to clean things up so alarms (and the cat) will stop.

#Conservative #politics took a beating in the #2025Elections, but We the People aren't free yet. Voters acted the same as 2024, but #Republicans didn't realize anti-Queer rhetoric wasn't the key to winning.

My family just saw #TronAres with my friend Chrysta. It was surprisingly eloquent and thoughtful.

Plus the @nin.com soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous. So layered, so many themes...wow. It was the perfect complement.

And #JaredLeto plays the perfect program!!

We just finished #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding season 5. It was...good, although I don't have the same anticipation for Season 6 that I did with the other seasons.
