Just finished re-reading Different Kinds of Fruit by @kylelukoff.bsky.social , this time out loud with my daughter. At the end she said, “That made me so happy I could do a backflip!” Trust me, that’s high praise! 🖋️🌈 #transgender #transwriters #booksky #writerscommunity
Why did you transition? Right answers only: I always knew I was male. Why would I ever pretend not to be? But I only started T because I was tired of people thinking I was 12 when I was actually 24 😂. No regrets. #transwriters #transauthors #transgender #ftm #transbooks

Happy Wednesday! Here is a snippet of my work in progress. Always looking to connect with other #transwriters
I know I’m getting old because now when I read YA, it’s the parents who I connect with most. #booksky #writersky #writerscommunity #YA
I read this post forever ago, and it stuck with me. I use a pen name for my books because I don’t want any anti-trans trolls to harass me IRL. But I do show my face, which sometimes feels risky. Curious what other writers do. #writerscommunity #writesky #trans #lgbtqwriters

With so much heavy news lately, I wanted to write a story where a trans guy gets to flirt and have a fling with a movie star. Sometimes we deserve a little escapism too. 🏳️⚧️ #booksky #kindleunlimited #writingcommunity #writesky #transgender #lgbtqbooks #summerreading #romance #beachread
I just finished reading A World Worth Saving by @kylelukoff.bsky.social and it was SOOOO GOOD! I appreciated the nuance and diversity of trans characters, plus it was just an incredibly engaging story. Not at all surprised it was shortlisted for the National Book Award. Highly recommend. #booksky

Just started watching this, and (as someone who was a trans guy in 2003) I’m really digging the trans rep in a show set in 2003.

The only ones asking people to change their gender are the ones who oppose transgender care.
Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No
It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
"Healthy debate" = when I criticize you "Cancel culture" = when you criticize me
Denial of an entire group’s very right to exist and participate in civil society is not just “having conversations.”
Life imitating art… 5 years ago I wrote a novella about a #stealth teacher who decides to open up about his past after an elementary student comes out as #transgender. Guess what happened at the beginning of the school year? Curious to see if the ending is same. #writingcommunity #writesky #trans
