Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.

None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.

But a LOT are caused by bigots.

I don’t like to brag, but by twenty minutes or so into any Columbo episode, I have figured out who the killer is.

WRITING TIP FOR TODAY

Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.

Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.

A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.

I have to say, Twitter took a bad turn for the worse, the WAY worse, since the election. Every comment from anyone with a decent heart is being mocked in the grossest way.

It's not even fun to make fun of those people, who are probably bots anyway.

It's liberating not to bother engaging.

I’m not trans and I’m not going to speak for trans people but I am goddamn sick of ‘moderates’ blaming them for their own oppression.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks.

Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.

Art is what helps us through every other fucking thing.

I went to a restaurant and ordered the surf and turf but they must have misheard my order because it was a lovely NY Strip followed by a horrible entitled wealthy woman lecturing me about how oppressed she is.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators.

Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

Meanwhile, here is a picture of Jubilee and Robin smooching.

Raise your hand if you want to at least VISIT the Land of Boobies.

I tried the British Method of making tea in the microwave this morning just to say I had, and nossir, I am sticking with a kettle, thank you.

Today I am on a movie set with a major star and it’s very exciting. I can’t talk about what movie it is but you’re all going to be thrilled.

Weird, Gavin Newsom just invited Hannibal Lecter to his podcast to see if they can find common ground in their shared interest in the culinary arts.

Folks.

I am still telling jokes on the internet like a doofus. I want to explain why I am telling jokes like a doofus when people, especially marginalized people but also everyone else, are being slowly pulled apart by the most ghastly people imaginable.

The answer is, for my mental health.

1/

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones.

Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed.

Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

I AM SO HAPPY, YOU ALL.

THAT IS THE SUPERMAN I BELIEVE IN

The Jonathan Joss story is so hideous that every time you look at it again, it gets worse.

Stay safe, look out for each other. The worst of us have been weaponized and approved by the worst people in power.

So Mirriam Webster has announced that 'FRIDGE' is an official word in their dictionary now, and sited me as the concept's creator in the definition.

Very cool, and weird at the same time. I got death threats over this, cool for it it to be recognized.

To fridge a (usually female) character in a movie, television show, comic book, etc., is to kill them off or seriously harm/abuse/violate them in some way (as a writer) for the purposes of motivating ...

If I ever become a popular male blues rocker, I am going to start my performance by asking the audience if they all are ‘ready to rock,’ and later, I will exhort them to ‘come on!’

If they fail to come on to an acceptable degree, I shall raise my fist and urge them by saying, ‘let’s rock!’
