My new article for @assignedmedia.org is a celebration of #TransHistoryMonth in #SanFrancisco.

This goes out to the other #trans people in the Fediverse, let's destroy the myth that "you're too old" to start transitioning later in life. I started hormones when I was 35 and my changes have been amazing..
..how old were YOU when you started your transition or HRT?
Please boost for visibility :)
One of the magical things about being trans and out it that, just by existing, you're going to help other people figure out how to embrace that part of themselves. We're everywhere! But... we're often pretty scared.
So, what do you do when someone asks you for help questioning their gender?
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, it's a guide on Being the Big Sib, so you can help them without hurting them, or yourself, in the process.
Artist: Laura Jane Grace (she/her)
Album: Hole In My Head
https://laurajanegrace.bandcamp.com/album/hole-in-my-head
Why? Because Laura Jane Grace's music has been a companion to so many of us over the last decade, and she just released a new album!
Where to start?
"Dysphoria Hoodie" has quickly become a favorite of a lot of trans people, speaking to those days when shit is hard and we reach for our most comforting wardrobe item.

I'm also really loving "I'm Not A Cop." Really speaks to the way we start policing each other in leftist and queer communities, and reinstitute the same crap.

Welcome to #TransTuesday!
This week we’re discussing something every trans person has to deal with, all these little things that add up in ways cis people likely don’t even realize.
It’s death by a thousand cuts with TRANS MICROAGGRESSIONS.
Let's talk about what they are and why they're awful, including examples of the most common ones!

Aritst: Chelsea Wolfe (she/her)
Why? Her music captures this amazing tension between delicate and powerful that holds one in the place of unresolved liminality. Not to mention, one of the few artists who has really coalesced what I want most from goth music.
Where to start?
Her latest album is brilliant.
"House of Self-Undoing" is probably one of the best songs to start with, being a great example of delicate possibility riding waves of intensity.
https://chelseawolfe.bandcamp.com/track/house-of-self-undoing
My other favorite song is probably "The Liminal," as it hits the feels of being a genderqueer and neurodivergent weirdo that lives in liminality.

March 31 was already significant to me because that's the day in 1998 when I helped #Netscape Navigator become #OpenSource.
Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a #transgender woman. And it's my first #TransDayOfVisibility that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.
To all my #trans siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️⚧️🫂💖

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.
That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:

“It certainly seems like an issue that could be ripe for litigation because it’s right on its face discriminating against people for sexual orientation or #transgender status.”

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.

Any Discworld fans here? I suddenly had an image of Death coming to a newly transitioned trans person on Discworld just to collect their deadname.
BE AT EASE. IT IS NOT YET YOUR TIME. I'M ONLY HERE FOR THE NAME.
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.

Will Ferrell goes on a road trip with long-time friend Harper Steele, former SNL head writer and newly out trans woman.
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 😭
