Welcome to #TransTuesday!
Let’s dive into a complicated topic that a lot of trans people struggle with, myself included. We’re talking:
SEXUALITY IS NOT GENDER.

Anti-trans pundits took all the wrong lessons from Glenn Youngkin.
Luckily, so did the Republicans.
As Trump starves America, destroys the middle class, kills the economy, and makes unemployment skyrocket, the shiny object of anti-trans bigotry becomes so obviously insignificant.
She spent most of her ad budget on anti-trans lies. And it failed miserably. https://plus.flux.community/p/flailing-virginia-governor-candidate
Zack Polanski got under Piers Morgan’s skin by reframing the UK’s gender critics as petty politics and standing firm that trans women are women.

Zohran #Mamdani's support of #TransRights is well known
Here's a bizarre anecdote on that topic:
You may know that Zohran's mother is the director #MiraNair. Mira was offered the chance to direct "#HarryPotter and the Order of the Phoenix"
She turned it down because Zohran said no
A *14 year old* Zohran Mamdani kept his mother away from #JKRowling
(I'm not implying he knew of Rowling's #bigotry in 2006, I just find this trivia extraordinary)

A Japanese high court ruled on Wednesday that a transgender woman should be able to change the sex assigned to them at birth in their family registry without having to undergo surgery, as is currently required by law.

I've finished: Bang Bang Bodhisattva by Aubrey Wood
Kiera is such a wonderful character, capable but totally in over her head. Thrust in to the middle of the action against her better judgment, she is a true reluctant heroine.
Bang Bang Bodhisattva manages to explore the trans experience, body modification, polyamory vs monogamy, police, crime and inequality via a fun sci-fi thriller that is both deadly serious and self deprecating.

Recently #ElonMusk smearmongered his daughter (his daughter is #trans, she disowned him and changed her last name)
So Vivian decided to break the silence on #Threads:

#Musk's original crap on #Twitter (warning, #deadnaming):
https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1815519696424161361
"in a ketamine-fueled haze, he's desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some fucking grass"
DAMN!😆
![Musk: "[DEADNAME] was born gay and slightly autistic , two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria.
I knew that from when he was about 4 years old and he would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was “fabulous!”, as well as his love of musicals & theatre.
But he was not a girl."
There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious “slightly autistic” tweet. This is gonna be a bit so just bare with me
This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said “eh- good enough” in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story.](/proxy/post_attachment/319285/0f29e0ff3e.webp "Musk: \"[DEADNAME] was born gay and slightly autistic , two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria.

A small group has gathered to honor #Palestine at #Austin Pride. They initially planned to protest an apparent ban on symbols of Palestinian liberation at Pride, but are now having a rally after a meeting and Austin Pride apologized to the Palestinian community.
(edit to update: see thread below. Police actually made multiple arrests from this group as they tried to watch the parade.)

JK Rowling destroyed this woman's life and has never apologised as far as I'm aware.
In our magazine: Weeks after a transphobic attack, dozens of #trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming folks gathered on the “free side” of #Austin’s Barton Springs to swim, celebrate, and fearlessly take up space.
Kit @oconnell was there to witness this moment of #queer joy and resilience... https://www.texasobserver.org/protect-trans-joy-barton-springs/

PSA for any trans+ person looking to start, or currently doing, any kind of voice training
Seattle Voice Lab has broken their silence over a former employee of theirs (Jimmy Chen), who set up his own voice coaching service called Trans Voice Lab.
We need to address Trans Voice Lab.
We highly recommend watching / listening to the whole video, but here are some key points within their video:
Jimmy's employment was terminated for "manipulative teaching practices and dishonesty towards" their students.
He downloaded their bespoke training materials (SVL's intellectual property) and client lists (!!!), then used these to set up his own voice coaching service and write a book.
SVL didn't want to have to make the video, but has felt obliged to do so.
SVL is pursuing "legal counsel" over Jimmy's actions.
tl;dr
Avoid any videos or guides from Jimmy Chen.
Avoid using Trans Voice Lab at all costs.
Boosts and crossposts very welcome, as we need to make more folks aware of this

As a kid, I could never have imagined trans people just being out in movies and TV. What I would give to see all these trans people when I was 10.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭
