Saying you made an agreement that “places no restrictions” that very clearly places restrictions on trans ppl is…I guess consistent in a country where the ppl in power routinely lie, lie,+ lie some more.
Disgusting of Northwestern to enter this agreement and try to gaslight their community about it

"The agreement places no restrictions on our transgender community."
Except whether they can play sports, where they can use the bathroom or locker room, what kind of housing they can live in, and what healthcare they can receive.

OH HEY SPEAKING OF BLACK FRIDAY...
For a few years now I've had a little tradition/ offer on the ranty writing blog. So maybe if today's *not* a great day for you, check it out and see if it may be of some help.

Maybe you'd like to take a break from shopping to read this little interview I did about my new book, GOD'S JUNK DRAWER
And then maybe you could go to your local book store and maybe pick up a book or three. They have lots. They'd love you to sell them to you.

Our trans kin aren't going anywhere. There will always be more; you cannot harass a facet of humanity out of existence. So if we could be kinder to the ones who are here now, I would really appreciate it.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

San Francisco's been fantastic, and thanks to all of you who came out to Borderlands last night. They had a *huge* pile of books for me to scribble in, including some older stuff, so go see them if you'd like a signed copy of GOD'S JUNK DRAWER, or THE BROKEN ROOM, THE FOLD, PARADOX BOUND, and more.

The latest #NowYouSeeMe got me in a mind for magic, so I put up #BlackAlice in UnGajjesArtGallery on insta today. If you are interested in reading her, I'd suggest starting with @gailsimone.bsky.social's great #BirdsofPrey run. www.instagram.com/p/DRAxbz-Ca5...
