The plan was to take a week off from publishing content here to prioritise my mental health. Then I came up with the idea of doing a mini media round-up (or medley), so instead...
This is the listicle y’all didn’t get last week because I needed to rant about self care and community care. It’s also not an especially original listicle, but these are all mistakes that I’ve...
I thought that this week’s post was going to be another listicle about the words you shouldn’t use when you’re talking about trans and non-binary folx. Instead, I’m going to count the episode where...
Even if you know that you want to learn how to be an ally to trans and non-binary people, it’s sometimes difficult to know where to start. Have you ever been so confused as...
Yesterday I woke up to the headline “PM scraps plan to make gender change easier”. In a week where being trans has been incredibly hard, the horrific news that the UK government plan on...
I rant about the tone policing in the Smut Marathon’s latest updates, which are supposedly making it more inclusive of trans and non-binary folks.

"You’ve been feeling this for a long time. For years you’ve felt like an imposter, never quite clicking with the gender you’ve been told is yours. But you’ll never feel comfortable in your skin until you take that leap into the unknown." I love this so much. twitter.com/QuenbyCreative…

If you want to help, actually speak up for trans people. Read my work. Educate yourselves. Share my posts. I want to help but rn I am giving so much that I have nothing for myself. Don't tell me to self care when you're not taking on the work of calling out cissexism yourself.

I'm fucking exhausted and it feels like y'all still want more. You want me to be polite. You want me to educate you. You want me to spend hours and hours doing emotional labour for people who will call me a fascist just because I refuse to be complicit in my own dehumanisation.
