Just so you know - anyone who is going on and on about how they simply have to watch whatever new Harry Potter drivel comes out paid for this to happen. That is your money at work making people's lives harder and more dangerous. Great job.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. π³οΈββ§οΈ

It is launch day!!! We can finally announce the new book series with @manchesterup.bsky.social on Queer and Trans Histories. Help spread the word!

One of the few things giving me a modicum of comfort at the moment is having read a lot of history books which feature story after story of headstrong upstarts with delusions of grandeur due to their proximity to power being abruptly deposed and then dragged through the streets.
