Trans Woman ⚧ Leathergirl ⛓ Bear Dog >⩊< Sex Work is Work! End Trans Genocide!

We're rapidly approaching the dystopia of having people in the developing world being mechanical turks wearing VR rigs cleaning the homes of people in wealthier countries for pennies an hour.

A screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) post by Alexander Koch announcing the launch of Tau's humanoid cleaning service in San Francisco, featuring a video thumbnail of a humanoid robot standing at the open door of a minivan.
​Detailed description:
A screenshot of a post on X by Alexander Koch (@alexkoch_ai). The full text of the post reads:
​"Today, we're launching Tau's humanoid cleaning service in San Francisco at $30 per hour.
​Access is initially invite-only as we scale operations. If you don't have an invite yet, join the waitlist at tau-robotics.com.
​All footage is shown at 1x speed. Each humanoid is jointly controlled by a human operator and AI."
​Below the text is a video showing a 15-second clip. The thumbnail features a light blue minivan parked outdoors on a sunny day with its side sliding door open. A humanoid robot dressed in black clothing with "TAU ROBOTICS" printed on the back and a "T" logo on the pants is standing in the doorway, appearing to interact with the interior of the van.

honestly I've been wanting for years for Proton to make a spreadsheet app to transfer it over to. now they have and since google yeeted it kinda forced me to do what I already wanted to 🤷🏻‍♀️ part that sucks is hundreds of people have the google doc bookmarked, not this one

"V-coding is the common practice of subjecting trans women to sexual assault by placing the woman in the same prison cell as an aggressive male inmate in order to placate ... caused the daily rapes of multiple trans women, and the sexual assaults of 58.5% of them." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-coding

At this point, it's basically a monthly thing where the NY Times has some boomer Dem write a piece saying the party should abandon trans people.

A screenshot of a digital article header under the category "OPINION / GUEST ESSAY". The headline reads in large white text: "Three Things Democrats Have to Do if They Actually Want to Win", with a publication date of "July 14, 2026, 5:05 a.m. ET". Below the headline is a photograph showing a blue, red, and silver softball or baseball bat secured diagonally to a white poster board using three pieces of silver duct tape. The background consists of out-of-focus green foliage.

Truly embarrassing, predictable shit from The New York Times, whose just-asking-questions coverage of trans people played a key role in giving steam to this anti-trans moment. And, this guy is older than Boomers! He’s 84. And saying stuff that is too negative about trans people for the Third Way!

My brother runs a theater - not a movie theater, a THEATRE theater. He says mostly what he does is fixing things that are wrong with the building, and then dealing with drunk obnoxious patrons. I would not excel at his job. Pretty sure he would find it challenging to take over my career as well!

Thought experiment- if you were suddenly appointed to do your sibling’s job, how badly would you suck at it?

The primary US anti-trafficking law defines all sex work as trafficking but only criminalizes “severe” forms of trafficking that include force, fraud, or coercion. Turns out this is so that fewer migrant sex workers can access the services & visa process available to trafficking survivors.

I know a lot of sex ed people and erotic writers follow me: if you haven't heard, I'm sorry to say we've lost one of our shining stars and best writers. I had the honor of working with M off and on for over 20 years. Fly to the stars, old friend.
