Working on a lecture on trans & fascism and wish the US government and its fascist proxies would stop forcing me to rework it on a daily basis.

Book cover of Michael Water's The Other Olympians. Cover image shows Zdeněk Koubek, a trans athelete from Czechoslovakia.

This finally arrived on my desk and I cannot wait to dig in!

Zwei Fotos, die von einem vertikalen türkisen Streifen getrennt werden. Über den Bildern bewegt sich eine gelbe Linie wellenfärmig von links nach rechts. Auf dem linken Foto sitzt Andrea Rottmann in einem blauen Anzug an einem Tisch. Sie blickt in Publikum, dessen Hinterköpfe zu sehen sind. Hinter ihr wird eine PowerPoint auf einem Bildschrim freigegeben. Auf dem rechten Bild ist ein Bücherstapel des Buches "Queer Lives Across The Wall" von Andrea Rottmann. Das oberste Buch steht aufrecht auf dem Stapel.

(1/2) Letzten Freitag durfte Andrea Rottmann am @ces.ubc.ca im Rahmen der Tobin Distinguished Lecture Series ihre aktuelle Forschung im Rahmen von QueerDem und ihr Buch vorstellen.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Gibt es den Artikel irgendwo ohne Paywall?

This Historian Has Seen the Future of Trans Health Care Jules Gill-Peterson doesn’t want to fight for trans joy. She wants to fight for what trans people really need: resources, hormones, and surgery. Her latest arena? The Supreme Court.

“We don’t need any more disgusting ‘trans joy,’” Gill-Peterson says. “We don’t need any more ‘gender euphoria.’ Let’s just get rid of all that and spend our time delivering real things that matter to people, things like hormones and sex changes and surgeries.” www.them.us/story/jules-...
