Born Kathleen to an immigrant Irish farming family in southern Ontario, Kit McNair has been a troublesome changeling since, at ten, they fell through the river ice and drowned—only to be nursed back to life by their mother's Celtic magic. A daredevil in boy's clothes, Kit chafes at every aspect of a farmgirl's life, driving that same mother to distraction with worry about where Kit will ever fit in. When Rebekah Kromer, an elegant German-Canadian doctor's daughter, moves to town with her parents in April 1939, Rebekah has no doubt as to who 19-year-old Kit is. Soon she and Kit, and Kit's older brother, Landon, are drawn tight in a love triangle that will tear them and their families apart, and send each of them off on a separate path to war.

Landon signs up for the Navy. Kit, now known as Christopher, joins the Royal Air Force, becoming a bomber navigator relied on for his luck and courage. Rebekah serves with naval intelligence in Halifax, until one more collision with Landon changes the course of her life and draws her back to the McNair farm—a place where she'd once known love. Fallen on even harder times, the McNairs welcome all the help she is able to give, and she believes she has found peace at last. Until, with the war over, Kit and Landon return home.

Told in the vivid, unforgettable voices of Kit and Rebekah, The Cure for Drowning is a powerfully engrossing novel that imagines a history that is truer than true.

Using this #SilentSunday post to encourage people to look up the closest #LGBTQ #nonprofit to you and donate and/or volunteer. Even the smallest donation amount helps when combined with everyone else’s. Governments and corporations are becoming more conservative, but nonprofit #communityorganizations are still free to honor their missions to support vulnerable populations.

Hey! You in Washington state? Please oppose this bill (HB1038): https://app.leg.wa.gov/PBC/Bill/1038

OPPOSE
"""
HB 1038: Prohibiting puberty blocking medications, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries for minors.
"""

Whether you're trans or not, please oppose this bill and leave a comment 🥺

Because gender-affirming care saves lives and *everyone* should be able to make their own choices about their bodies.

Geraldine Roman is a politician in the Philippines. On trans rights she says:
"Recognizing our rights and dignity will in no way diminish yours. We are not asking for special privileges or extra rights. We simply ask for equality. With inclusiveness and diversity, our nation has so much to gain."

Want some good news? Of course you do!

“Just days after marriage equality became the law in Thailand, the country’s national health ministry added hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to the free health services available to Thai citizens.”

“Deputy government spokesperson Anukool Pruksanusak said the allocation was in direct support of the government’s policy on marriage equality, with an emphasis on both physical and mental health for sexually diverse individuals.”

Yes we know it's not quite February, but we love our history Thursdays here at TransActual.

If you've not heard of Lou Sullivan, look him up. He was a gay, HIV positive, trans man and he did a huge amount for our community in the US and beyond. Lou lobbied for gay, trans men to be given access to medical transition. He was visible so that other gay, trans men could see that they weren’t alone.

A dist. ct in Texas holds Title IX Rule Violates 1st Amendment rights of teachers who want to misgender their students https://buff.ly/4iaFgB0

This is wrong and I have written an entire paper about why: https://buff.ly/3UVrAhd
To start, the teachers' speech is govt speech unprotected by the free speech clause

It bears noting that Judge Lamberth is a conservative’s conservative. One of the last remaining Reagan appointees.
