Trans rights are bodily autonomy rights. They are women’s rights, gay rights, human rights. If you claim to advocate fully for any of those and you make an exception when it comes to trans people, you are a duped fool and you are only helping those who want every last one of those rights erased.

Stuck in place you don’t want to be this Thanksgiving? I got you! Like every year, I can be your boss, angry/needy boyfriend, friend in trouble, the mob, or whatever you need on the phone. Also happy to yell at your racist uncle. Price? Purchase a copy of this beauty! Rescue and a book, baby.

A very, very important peer-reviewed empirical study published in the academic journal Pediatrics shows that hormone treatment of young trans people decreases suicidality very significantly.
Doubtless it will be ignored by Simonoff et al, who are not even measuring this in the “Pathways” study.

National has spent more on me to send this leaflet telling me I should be grateful, than they have in the last year on things that actually benefit my family, because I am not a landlord. Instead they give my taxes to industries actively trying to kill me, like tobacco and fossil fuels.
