Even more workers are coming forward about Lindsey Graham's bizarre and predatory behaviors now that he's dead. Imagine being so kinky, queer, and in denial that you align yourself with the most powerful anti-gay forces in the country.

There is nothing more gender affirming than when anti-trans commenters misgender me incorrectly. I suppose they can’t comprehend a butch trans woman when it contradicts their narrative of us reinforcing gender roles or being feminine gay men.

What do you think is the best response to Labour’s transmisogyny? Is it boycotting the conference? Or would a more confrontational protest outside be more effective? Could they create an alternative conference? Each tactic seems to have a broad range of benefits and consequences.

Absolutely unacceptable, leading, and outright racist questions about the Berlin Pride attack. Do you really want this reporter representing you, @newsweek.com? The attacker pledged himself to ISIL, which is officially opposed to Hamas.

This is the only headline I will accept for accuracy.

Now that Lindsey Graham is dead, many new clients and victims are speaking out. Actress Jesse James Rose just opened up about being one of them. Despite Lindsey's sexuality being an open secret in DC for decades, he ceaselessly harassed and demeaned LGBTQ+ people while in public.

See you in Dublin next week! Red Washburn and I will be sharing stories of Irish trans history and literature, featuring a special transmasc ballad from Dublin's broadside era. You won't want to miss it! And don't hesitate to say hi if you see us at Dublin Trans Pride on Saturday. ☀️

Berlin! @benwritesthings.bsky.social of Bad Gays will be joining us to discuss LGBTQ+ history and a forgotten bad gay from Germany: the only known openly trans SS officer. July 22 at 6:45 at Shakespeare & Sons in Friedrichshain. It's free and open to the public (plus free snacks and refreshments)

SCOTUS just upheld state bans on trans athletes. This is a limited ruling, meaning states can ban trans athletes, but we're still protected under Title IX & equal protection for now. Petitioner Becky Pepper-Jackson never even underwent testosterone-based puberty: this is purely about exclusion

Rest in power, Emi Koyama. Emi's activism and writing had a profound impact on the trans movement over the past 30+ years. After coining the term transfeminism in the early 1990s, she spearheaded many feminist, trans, disability, decrim, AAPI, and intersex groups.

A quiet trans man, Robert Allen (1914-1997) was never the type to make headlines. However, his 1957 marriage was front-page news. He transitioned in 1943 and was among the first in the UK allowed to legally change sex. I restored and colorized these photos to celebrate his life.

Happy Juneteenth!

Does JK Rowling not realize she’s the Nazi in this scenario? It's not a bad metaphor; she’s actually correct for a change.

Saw this car in DC... What does this combination of bumper stickers even mean? Do they not realize their thin blue line decal part of the Empire?

Peter Thiel fleeing to Argentina is the funniest possible thing right now. He moved to Buenos Aires' whitest neighborhood, which is also known for harboring SS commander Herbert Kuhlmann. Does this signal a declining Trump regime, or is Thiel just trying to avoid more taxes?

It turns out the woman with the cheese addiction who just led the farcically racist Gracie Mansion protest paid someone to create her Wikipedia page.

One year ago, trans women held an iconic topless protest outside Scottish Parliament. I love it when trans women hold topless demonstrations. If they're arrested, the state must admit they're women. If they aren't, it exposes the obvious absurdity of defining trans women as male.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person, Dr. Q Manivannan, in the Scottish Parliament.

This month marks one year since Before Gender first hit the shelves! So far, it's been on several bestseller lists, used in 2 Supreme Court cases and sold in bookstores on every continent. Trans lit may be under attack, but if there's one thing our community knows, it's how to survive under pressure

Thanks to everyone who came out for our LA events! ☀️ I’ll be back in town soon. 📚 It’s been a tough year for LGBTQ+ authors. Publishers aren’t buying trans books and unis aren’t hiring us. But I know with more support from readers, authors, and literary orgs, the best years are still ahead of us!

I helped develop a training model around gender and sexuality over a decade ago—I never could have anticipated it’d cause such a storm, writes @elierlick.bsky.social.

Planning genocide against your own community won’t protect you. I understand how awful dysphoria can feel, but being trans is a gift. My trans identity has taught me so much about politics, gender, and humanity. It has become a foundation for lifelong friendships. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Why is Gothamist running a hit piece on the most progressive, pro-LGBTQ+ City Council candidate, @lindseyboylan.bsky.social? Nobody, regardless of identity, is entitled to a Council seat. Lindsey's the only candidate I've seen at trans events and has been supporting us even before she ran for office

Hillary Clinton refuses to support trans people: loses Kamala Harris refuses to support trans people: loses Gavin Newsom refuses to support trans people: ...

No matter how weird you find that AI image Trump just posted of himself as Jesus, it gets even weirder: Trump’s team added the demons in the sky. The original shows deceased veterans. They clearly ran it through an AI “remove the veterans” prompt. Look at the bearded person's hat 🤪

Last month, an iconic UK bookshop offered visitors the chance to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence a page. The Bookish Type, a trans-owned store in Leeds, has now raised over £3000 in 3 weeks for trans healthcare costs! They're currently raffling the first full book to raise even more funds📚

There wasn't a ceasefire in Oct 2025, and there isn't a ceasefire today. The IOF immediately broke its agreements in both Lebanon and Iran, despite clear terms. There's a massive bombardment on civilians this week. Keep your eyes on the region and keep up pressure to defund IOF terrorism.

Did you know that the @nytimes.com conservative Book Review editor actively blocked bestselling LGBTQ+ literature from being reviewed from 2013-2022? Before writing several anti-trans op-eds, Pamela Paul controlled which books received coverage and which did not.
