Queerty Attacks "Trans Activists", Our Own Kyosuke
Walp, it looks like I'm not going to be visiting their site any more. They've been getting progressively worse and worse on trans issues, and this marks my stopping point.
I really wish...

AB1266 Referendum Results Come Out Monday **UPDATED**
So, Monday is when we find out if California's AB1266, the School Success and Opportunity Act, will be subject to a referendum or not. I'm past primary school age, as are the trans folks I know IRL, so this law doesn't directly affect me. However, a referendum would also mean campaigning for and against, and I'm sure…
Awesome Discussion of TERFs
Anybody seen this amazing article talking about TERFs, their history, and how things are changing?
Oh, Facebook (shakes head)
An I'm sure all you fine gentry have seen, Facebook recently updated their gender options to include a lot of new choices. Hooray! But what about us language police?

Down with the sickness
I am sick in a way that means that I am constantly "too tired to go to sleep". Luckily, I have an office party later today where I will spend the evening hanging with sloppy drunk coworkers, so there's that, I guess.

This act is designed to allow students who are transgender to use the facilities and resources that align with their gender identity. As a result of conservative fearmongering…
Being in a Place while Trans
So, a longstanding tradition of mine is that my friend and I will travel to local places of interest on our Sundays. This always gives me something to look forward to during the week, when I may otherwise collapse under the tedium of my job. This last week, we drove around on the coast, did some hiking, and then…
