Liberal Media Is Betraying Trans People "There is a direct line from the discourse to these policies."

Still relevant, @teenvogue.com

A guy pulls up in a Tesla and takes up two parking spaces while he runs in to grab coffee and bagels for his family, and these liberal ladies start shouting, β€œentitled!”

The lady with the dog photo leans over to me, with a wry smile, β€œcan you tell we hate Teslas?”

One of the ladies pulls out her phone to show the other a picture of her dog.

β€œHe’s so cute!” she says

β€œShe”, the lady corrects.

β€œShe. Sorry.”

And, as if the irony couldn’t compound…

Just got misgendered at a coffee shop by a couple of ladies who told my dog to β€œlisten to daddy.” But also…?

This was the first scene I directed for #QuantumLeap, from the ep I wrote about #Transkids in sports (112, β€œLet Them Play”). We shot it on Veterans Day and Caitlin Bassett, who played Addison, is a veteran. She improvised this monologue on set. More relevant today than any of us could have imagined.

I wrote a review for this episode. I loved it. For a series about body hopping, why did it take decades before we got one about being trans? My review: tfemily.com/Emily/journa...

IDGAF about corporations pulling out of pride. The corporatization of pride has always been sus to me. We are a community, not a target market. Are you telling me Wells Fargo might not sponsor the Dykes on Bikes this year?!We’ll be fine, honestly.

Jessie Gender β€” The Stories Fascism Fears the Most Fascism isn’t just about powerβ€”it’s about controlling the stories we tell. It warps narratives to justify oppression, trapping us in cycles of dominance and despair. But stories can also resist, break...
