Unrelated: have you read OP's Amelia Temple books? It occurs to me that the main character is your type in some ways. (And there's an aroace, I believe, supporting character.)

(I opted to limit myself to only 1 Kyle Lukoff book, in the interest of not making this too easy.)

Also:
Cemetery Boys
Hell Followed With Us
I know I've read non-Kyle Lukoff picturebooks with trans-masc protagonists that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Help raise $2000 to purchase supplies for our wound care kits

Help raise $2000 to purchase supplies for our wound care kits

Have any cash to spare? You can make a difference! Here's how:
$5 covers the full cost of one wound care kits
$25 covers enough saline for 25 kits
$250 covers 100 kits' worth of our most-needed items

Hey all, super excited to announce I've had the pleasure of chatting recently with Jamie Berrout, who's been working with Mariposas Negras, a transfemme sex worker activist and art collective based out of Mexico City.

They're launching a Spanish-language publication called Trans y Fugas! ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ ๐Ÿ‘€

The first person sent to Alcatraz was there because he was gay. A group of Native people were there bc they refused to send their kids to assimilation school.
The point is โ€œcriminalโ€ is a constructed category.

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.

Everyone who follows me should call their Senator this morning to urge them to vote in favor of Wydenโ€™s point of order and remove the Medicaid funding ban for transgender care from Trumpโ€™s horror bill.

For Wrath Month, we've put together a collection of queer and trans fiction--and non-fiction, for what I think is the first time!

'Trans/Rad/Fem' is part of this bundle, as is my first book 'Dulhaniyaa'--a desi lesbian Bollywood romcom!

so call/leave a message, be polite, and say what matters to you; he talked about how even a small change in the number of calls about xyz topic can shift what policies are focused on (his example was 70 calls going to 75)

they WANT to hear from us

(maybe this is all old news but I wanted to share)

I called my rep's office today and had a nice conversation with the staffer: basically he said you can call about the same issue every day, or a different issue every day, and they'll all get tagged and counted

he advised AGAINST leaving messages about several things at once; it's not as effective

She's part of a Jill Sobule tribute concert here in a couple weekends, and I'm bummed that the venue is platforming her.

(To be clear: The venue had booked Jill, and then she died, hence tribute concert.)

Tomorrow is Rรผmeysa ร–ztรผrkโ€™s habeas corpus hearing in federal court in Vermont. At the same time, nearly 1,000 other women she was detained with in Louisiana remain in intolerable conditions. ICE has yet to answer my inquiries. I'll keep pushing.

"Moderates" or "centrists" don't have fixed positions. So, you can't actually "meet them where they are" cause political discourse is constantly moving them. And if you keep trying - as Dems do - they will keep moving in the only direction they get pulled, to the right and eventually off the cliff.

When Democrats fail to win over "moderate" voters in swing states, it's the fault of Democrats failing to match those voters on policy. When Democrats fail to win over pro-Palestinian voters in swing states, however, it's the fault of those voters.
