Things are getting heated over on Facebook, where a couple of my posts have blown up with hundreds of comments. There’s a lot of anti-trans hate happening in there. But I’m heartened by the amount of pro-trans comments and the pushback in hate happening in there as well.

I'm trying something new to see how it fits. Check out Trans Atlantic News on Substack - more coming soon! transatlanticnews.substack.com/p/why-trans-...

The shift in mood from committing to starting a new project and getting it started, to then realizing I have to promote it and tell people about it is the worst.

“When I was a little boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘look for the helpers… and also the people dressed as Spider-Man punching Nazis.’” - Mister Rogers, ish.

Trump has done awful things to trans people over the last decade, but trans representation in media is crucial to our inclusion in society and the damage Trump has done to it will take a long time to heal.

Loving the music in here, but worry it’s a sign of my age that some of my favorite bands of my teens and early twenties are played in the vegetarian cafe on a Monday morning.

Earlier this year, @transparentaction.bsky.social surveyed families of trans kids, created a full report, and sent it to the government to encourage new guidance to protect trans students. The government never responded, and are about to enact policies that will hurt trans and non-binary children.

Parents of trans kids warned UK’s govt about new school policy. They were ignored. Transparent Action sent them a full report, but they never bother to respond. 45% of respondents said their trans and nonbinary children had a negative experience at school…54% were bullied for their gender identity

@transparentaction.bsky.social quoted in @lgbtqnation.com article by @faefyx.bsky.social on the harms of the UK Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance.

After London Trans Pride the UK government issued a statement saying “Our top priority is the safety and wellbeing of *all* children and young people in education. This is why we have issued updated keeping children safe in education guidance”. This is a lie and they know it. Not trans children.

The science is out there. But people like Sophie Cunningham are just parroting right-wing talking points and have clearly never actually read up on what it means to be trans.

Remember when a hotel shamed a lesbian restroom user for being ‘a man,’ then changed its story? - buff.ly/9ApDHK9

We don’t want to inadvertently perpetuate homophobic sentiments we’ve been working so hard to reject.

I've been reading @faefyx.bsky.social for a long time, so it was a true delight to be in conversation with them about their excellent reporting for @lgbtqnation.com. Also, Faefyx broke a story in MN that I had NO idea about. That's how good they are.

Scott Yenor with the Heritage Foundation argued that women don't want to play competitive sports and Title IX needs gutting to allow discrimination against women's sports. Megan Burke provides a great takedown of that here, getting into the philosophy and Beauvoir-application that Yenor misuses.

I'm setting up a #Kickstarter for my next book, about Operation Colossus, the first time the British used paratroopers during the #SecondWorldWar. The pre-launch page is now available, so you can sign up to be informed when the campaign starts. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rus... #WWII #history
