BRAK SAYS TRANS RIGHTS
This is your brain on transphobia. Where every single aspect of your gender gets hyper scrutinized to ensure you fit some Republican dickhead's idea of your gender.
The GCs are fighting with each other over a concerning website one of them set up 🍿
A milestone? The NYT floats the "fascist" label for Trump in a news story without putting it exclusively in the mouths of critics:

Thank you, Inanna, for this day
And for the safety and rest of trans people everywhere
Shelter us, protect us, see us safely on our journeys
so I was provoked into writing a response to the ridiculous "What Is a Woman?" question. it's a 5 min read, no-paywall link, please share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so other folks on Medium see it! juliaserano.medium.com/what-is-a-wo...

This is a *great* read, and worth ones time to read through. I resonate so very strongly with much of the experiences shared and talked about here by Taylor and suspect a great many others will too. Read it and share if you'd like.

I think there are two ways to get attention online as a transfemme. The first is constant flirting and hornyposting, and the second is being vaguely asexual and constant theoryposting. I'm more of the latter than the former, but to be fair, I really don't post enough for either one.

Parts of it are drawn from the chapter i wrote in the Queering Psychedelic book, and I think there are a couple loose ends that I could have tied up a little better here. But I was working within time constraints both in terms of the presentation and writing it.
It's actually an abridged version of the talk that I gave at the Queering Psychedelics II conference in San Francisco in April, the video of which will hopefully be available soon
I wrote an essay about being transgender in the psychedelic movement!

Writing something I've just been furiously angry about for years and it feels amazing
Hi! Instead of talking about the bad Wemple piece you should be talking about this piece showing how far-right activists are using propaganda to kill abortion and trans rights
