since Pamela Paul has written *yet another* anti-trans #NYTimes op-ed, time for me to re-up my uber-critique of this genre of articles – no paywall, please share widely!

'Redundant' is a 2 part music and film project made by 5 non-binary and transgender artists raising awareness to violence against transgender, non-binary and gender diverse people. We respond to the UK government’s blocking of Scotland's gender recognition reform bill and their avoidance of legislating a ban on conversion therapy.

I'm positing starting a new #podcast with my friend who is a nerdy gamer like me, as well as a #feminist black man. We would talk about #progressive issues, #lgbtq, #transgender rights, #sexwork decriminalization etc, maybe react to recent news pieces, as well as talk about nerdy stuff as well, our favorite video games, etc.

Would any of you be interested in listening to something like that? What would your target episode length be? and what kinda naming ideas do you have for what we could call it? 😛

Two US trans gals I know - Nora & Zoey - have set up a survival fund & could use some help, even if it's just a boost :sadness: :trans_heart:

I know who needed to read this 3 years ago but maybe it can help someone else now, it's okay to come out as #transgender, but you can't expect everyone in your life outside of your relatives to keep the same kind of relationship with you after they know. Because even if you're the same person, you're changing the way you present yourself, gender, body and mind, especially if you're on Hormone Replacement Therapy. And it doesn't have anything to do with transphobia if most relationships drastically change or stop altogether because of that fact.

The sad truth is that nobody but you can know yourself deep down, everyone else only knows the person you're presenting. And relationships can very well continue after a coming out, but not necessarily, and there's nothing you or they can do about that.
