Micaiah Johnson's Space Between the Worlds audiobook is on sale at libro.fm and other outlets. It and its sequel are harsh and hopeful books, and I recommend them highly, though-fair warning-they are not easy or comfortable. The violence in the parallel worlds is ubiquitous but it should also be recognizable to those in our world, since it is drawn from the same places. The characters are excellent and complex.

Watching #trump try to describe a woman is absolutely painful.

They can't even figure out a definition of men/women that doesn't include being #trans in some way.

Which confuses me as they like to ask #lbgtq and libs "WHAT'S A WOMAN?" and they are worse at defining it than we are.

Trump has no idea how at least.

As someone agender, who doesn't fit into regular gender roles, it's infuriating to me.

#maga is pushing us back 30 years with progress on this issue.

"Everyone knew Beyle…

People felt weird around her, as though they were neither male nor female…

She was recommended to see a noted professor and under his supervision, Beyle became a man…

And they were no longer Beyle, but Berl"

Trans people have always been here, even in the shtetl

Image of a newspaper article in Yiddish on top of a trans pride flag with text in English that reads, "In November 1936, the Forverts published a letter from a reader in Brooklyn about someone transitioning from female to male in their old shtetl. The headline, translated from Yiddish: 'At 23 this girl became a boy.'" It's from The Forward archive.

Frank Zamora, 31, chose to be fired rather than remove pronouns from his email signature. He worked for the Texas real estate commission.

This resilience exercise can be completed by any #LBGTQ+ people or allies who are disturbed by the steps the federal government is taking to erase transgender, intersex, queer, and other marginalized Americans from history and public life. Here's how you complete the exercise...

#offload #status #update Tough day. I go to a group of non-normative former drug and alcohol users. Always in #recovery. #politics came up. Incl. #brexit . The #LBGTQ+ group sat on their hands (50%) the other 49.5 % fiercely #Brexit #Bollox. The moderator "no politics" Palky (0.5%) say "the personal is the political" Mod. hasn't a clue. Jeez, I'm depressed.
