📜new episode!📜 #TransTuesday

I interview Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett about their new graphic novel, TRANS HISTORY: FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO PRESENT DAY!

We discuss their research process, all the love that went into this book, and how important it is to get that information out into the world.

Apple Podcasts hasn't yet updated its feed despite the episode going up hours ago, but until it does you can find it on other podcasting services and on the show's website!

Meta stole the entire text of my book about The Matrix and transness

part of which

~~IS DIRECTLY ABOUT HOW TRANS VOICES GET STOLEN AND CO-OPTED~~

thanks but no thanks for confirming what i talked about, i guess

(they stole the entire Star Trek Adventures rulebook too)

a friend invited my wife and me to visit them… and we were invited to an event i’ve wanted to do since childhood

had to turn both down because they’re in states where i can’t use the bathroom, and if i had to go to the hospital they’d forcibly detransition me by stopping my HRT

do you get it yet?

at the rate dems spam my texts looking for money imma end up blocking every number in america

maybe first you could VIGOROUSLY DEFEND TRANS RIGHTS AS PARTY

five years ago today i got the first, and tiniest, glimpse of the real me in the mirror

and despite the state of the world, what followed have been the five best years of my life

don’t let your fear stop you babes, you’re worth fighting for 🩷

every trans selfie is an act of resistance

and i’d like to thank Lady Estrogen for making me this hot 😌

happy international women’s day, ladyfriends

and please remember if your celebration of all women doesn’t include trans women, you’re doing it wrong

our trans sci-fi short film is 56% funded! who are the heroes that can inch us up to 60% today? is it you?? maybe??? 🤗🩷🥰

we can have some GREAT NEWS as a treat!

fighting back and standing up for us WORKS

THANK YOU to everyone who protested and wrote letters and helped make this happen, to save those trans kids from the unending body horror of the wrong puberty

you’re legit heroes

please keep it up 🩷

honestly, relatable

i’ve noticed an almost exponential increase in temporary license plates on cars in LA these past couple weeks, and i’ve also seen a lot less teslas than usual

and i’m gonna hope those two things are directly related

i would love to go back and show this to little Tilly and tell her

*that’s you*

*every day*

and watch her head explode 🩷

OKAY FINE

this just in oversized sweaters can be cute actually!

especially when paired with a matching baby blue/purple pleated plaid skirt and purple tights… which you’ll just have to image because I forgot to get photos of the full fit and i am not setting the tripod back up 🙃

just want you to know I would ride this thing everywhere INCLUDING TO THE MOON

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

-arama/-orama is such a great suffix because it just means “so much more of this thing in a celebratory way.”

pizzarama! lesborama! getbigotsoutofofficearama!

this has been pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly

@quinn lots of trans people only have the one though. the point is that on its own it sends a stronger statement, and a lot of cis people are uncomfortable with the thought of someone thinking they’re trans. the point is to get people to examine that

@quinn @jbaggs okay but I’m not asking people to actually do it. It is a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT designed to get you thinking about your own feelings around transness

and honestly that you’re working so hard to NOT think about it is part of that experiment

now just look at what that’s telling you about yourself

cis friends, a thought experiment:

think about a trans pride pin, patch, sticker

on YOU

wearing it out in the world, right now, while you go about your day

what if it made people think you were trans? how would that make you feel?

you might learn some things

about us, yes, but also about you
