While its attempt to implement a bill that would require employers use DNA to gender staff failed, the state of North Dakota is now trying to implement a new trans ban in schools.
It includes verbiage to tackle the now-infamous "litterboxes in schools" myth that was confirmed to be a hoax.
Trans people exist across all of time, across societies, languages, cultures - We always were and always will be.
The only thing that suppressing knowledge does is condemn more people to lives spent in the dark, wondering why they feel broken and lost.
THIS is why we have to fight to be heard.
They call us groomers. I say we are bloomers. You can't *make* a person LGBT - Either they are or they aren't. The only options are to either support or suppress.
Choose wisely.

New West Virginia bill, SB 252 would define "obscene matter" as exposure to transgender people. It would make it a felony to share any content regarding transgender people with a minor. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

Having a bit of an existential dilemma, on top of severe gender dysphoria, some self worth issues involving the layoff, some hopelessness from remembering my years unemployed during the original Dot Com bust and how it's happening again, a touch of lonliness from living alone for so long, cabin fever because I haven't gone out in a while and because of a Covid exposure keeping me homebound for now, and...
To put it bluntly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzoN-CvH0qU
Still stunned by the liberal who told me today that anti-trans legislation should just be sorted out in the courts. Yeah, okay, what do we do in the meantime? Y'all clearly do not understand how life-and-death this is. #trans #transphobia

I have a lot of issues with sleep. Normally, my body wants to sleep from 8AM to 4PM. On my days off from work I tried very hard to not go to bed later than 4AM and wake up about Noon.
I've also recently had issues where my body has decided it's just not going to sleep if I'm not sleepy, or will keep waking up if it's not sleepy.
And then I realized - it's winter. The days are VERY short in Seattle (the sun sets about 4:30PM right now) so i can't drive very far if I go anywhere. I'm laid off so I don't have any jobs I need to go to. And as long as I'm awake for job interviews, I dont NEED to be awake when I'm sleepy, or asleep when I'm feeling awake.
Why not sleep whenever your body wants and go with it?
I might as well be comfy until I'm back to work.
Today I had my first mammogram as a trans woman. Yes, we can get #breastcancer. I stand in solidarity with all women.

"Ah, I got that outline done, don't want to touch it for a few days, and I'll go out and finally get some fresh air and take that drive I kept threatening to do."

"Well, I can sit on my ass till Friday and test until then to make absolutely sure I don't have it, sure, why not."
