Just in case younger trans women are pre-dooming about it: yes if you want to be a mother you can be a mother , to think that this is some lost frontier after you transition is more about anticipatory grieving than reality

To all the late transitioners out there: Thank you for helping to normalize late-in-life transition. Your openness took away so much of my fear, allowing me to finally see my own transition as a valid and hopeful possibility.

I’m still about $800 short on rent this month, and I’m really afraid of getting evicted before I have colostomy surgery on the 17th. Venmo is faster (rent is due on the 5th), but either is so helpful. Venmo: venmo.com/u/Brianna-Tr... GFM: gofund.me/f071c1d0f

Many of the same culprits of the NWSL's transphobia flare-up in November are gleefully stoking the WNBA's current crisis. There's a lot to learn from Sarah Gorden & Angelina Anderson's responses then, and Brianna Turner & Cheryl Reeve's responses now. Both leagues need to follow suit.

In July, the Guardian reported that the NWSL had quietly allowed its policy on the participation of transgender players, established in 2021, to expire. The scrapped policy used the testosterone level...

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

I didn't realize this was still online but an excerpt (really a tiny remix) of my novel OKPsyche was read on Selected Shorts by Pooya Mohseni (who killed it), if you're interested in listening to that. wnyc.org/story/the-me...

This is from the editor of the "Economist," and with all due respect, I do not think this is a surprising conflict at all. It's just typical fascist reactionary modernism, going back to Marinetti and the Italian Futurists.

"But then the last part got a lot of attention. I think an important side of Elon is his political side — his role in the Trump administration but also his interventions into European politics. I was, and am, genuinely baffled by the gap between the extraordinarily expansive view of humanity that he shows when he’s talking about the future, and interstellar travel, and being a multiplanetary civilization, and all that stuff and then the kind of tribalism cesspit of social media that he’s in. He says that the most important thing with AI is to ensure that it is truth seeking and curious. Then you look at the stuff that he propagates on X and it’s not truth seeking, a lot of it. It’s caricature. It’s dystopia."

cut my novel draft down to a novella in order to prioritize one throughline. Guts everywhere. Turns out that throughline is, like, beat for beat similar to my last novel. It's just embarrassing I didn't see this before; all the other stuff kind of deflected from that. So now i'm completely fucked
