"People like it," the Matrix co-creator said of her new script The Hunted. "But they really don’t want to make it because it’s [got a] wall-to-wall trans cast." www.avclub.com/lilly-wachow...

I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.

If you have transitioned later in life, please know how deeply you are needed here. Your story is the exact proof someone else needs to finally take their first step.

Jokes aside, I see people go "I think I'm trans but I'm not gonna address it because of all the difficult stuff, what would I get out of it?" And the answer is true joy.

Happy Birthday Beatrix Potter!

Anxiously refreshing the timeline to see if Emily Wilson has posted her review of how close Spider-Man: Brand New Day sticks to the source material.

This piece centres on a recent case where Florida Republicans threatened an Irish dancing competition for including trans dancers. According to the Advocate, a trans young person quit the competition over this. It's unjust! And it shouldn't be let happen

this week's piece looks at how any cis woman who thinks trans people don't belong in sport, should remember that it wasn't so long ago that *all* women were prevented from participating, largely for ridiculous moralistic reasons www.thejournal.ie/readme/trans...

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
