Got some new trans books recently. #samreads. A bunch I've already read and loved enough to grant them some prime real estate on my bookshelf, a few (Sisters of Manchester, Queer Saints II, The Brute & Trans Rites) are new additions :) (+ my little clown opossum from a local queer art con!).

Lux took me out to Queer Lit followed by pre-birthday drinks in the gay village. I had a really fun time. Life has been pretty hard lately, it was good to get away and forget about all the bs for an evening.

Another fantastic day of filming for The Moon is a Hologram! We shot with the incredible India Willoughby @indiawilloughby.bsky.social and the very talented Jay Giblin. Only three more scenes left to shoot!

This is probably like only the second post I saw about it at all, and the other post just came from someone who just doesn't like Jared Leto. So yeah, it's not going great for someone at Disney's marketing team.

The Intermediaries The fascinating history of a daring team of sexologists who built the first trans clinic in the shadow of the Third Reich

I’m coming to #London #Manchester #Edinburgh and #Glasgow touring a book on the long history of #transgender people and the fight for #LGBTQ rights against Nazis in the #Weimar. I’m a journalist, an author, a TV host, a PhD, a podcaster. Interview me. Let’s annoy #TERFS @theguardian.com any takers?

In 1959, a young John Waters posted announcements on telephone poles of his Baltimore neighbourhood to advertise his puppet shows. He made as much as $50 a week doing puppet shows.

I echo the question so many have posed already - what will your party's official stand on trans rights be?
Trans people are scared, we are tired, we are angry. Will you fight for us? Will you guarantee us dignity, safety, healthcare and basic human rights?
Or will you betray us just like Labour did?
