As always when I post about being trans, a reminder: if you support me because I'm "normal" or "reasonable" or whatever because I dress like an old man & go to church, but you don't support all my trans siblings, then you don't actually support me at all, & I encourage you to do some soul searching.

There is simply no medical reason to take a person, cold-turkey, off of a medication they've been stable on for almost a decade, with no offer of anything else - and when the lack of that medication causes irreversible lifelong issues up to and including death.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.

It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.

And it costs lives.

I have been able to regain access to my necessary medication (and thankfully was able to avoid going without during my fight for it). But I know many people who are having the exact same fight right now. Including people who've been settled on hormones even longer than I.

ACEGID trained over 1,500 people from 48 African countries.

Impact "was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Feb 2020, ...hospitals that ACEGID worked with in Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Senegal had COVID diagnostics before any U.S. hospital...Africans sequenced over 100,000 coronavirus genomes."

Chills.

"In Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, more than 11,000 people died of Ebola. But in Nigeria, there were only eight deaths, largely because Happi and ACEGID were able to diagnose Ebola there not in weeks or days, but in hours."

I would like more headlines like “journalists show a fucking backbone”,

Rather than endless “Trump lashes out” stories. Cmon yall!!!

I am thankful for Novae by KaiJu @kaijubean.bsky.social . This one is a webcomic I want in book(s) form!

Gorgeous, sensitive, linguistically and historically well-researched, SO romantic! And what gorgeous queer representation. I especially appreciate the demi rep!

This one has kept me writing.

Ours this year was infused with gin and rosemary. It really adds an amazing dimension. And you're right about the delight of the berries popping!

That is a super gorgeous plate!

Ours also had some brûlée action! 🙂 I bet it was delicious!

You're very welcome! I love your books. I also loved A Thousand Recipes for Revenge. Which reminds me I need to get the sequel!
