The transgender business is very lucrative, bringing in lots of money for the hospitals and doctors performing the surgeries, plus the cost of expensive hormones and the cost of counseling.

I would like to enlist you in helping Riverside, California's ONLY independent bookstore, Cellar Door Books. This week, the owner of Cellar Door, Linda, received an eviction notice that gives her 40 days to leave her current location. The store is profitable and well-run. But Linda has one strike against her: she is vocally and very publicly progressive.

For years now, Cellar Door has held Drag Queen Story Hour. When Jammin' Bread closed, a new owner moved in and opened a cafe called Arcade across from the bookstore. This place is owned by a very conservative member of a megachurch whose congregation can be seen protesting, yelling, and frowning mightily against Cellar Door's Drag Queen Story Hour, as well as Linda's ongoing masking policy and frequent displays of novels by minoritized groups, Black and Latinx and Queer and Asian and Indigenous and others. Linda has prominent signs in the windows supporting BLM and other progressive causes.

Cellar Door is a thriving community center where book clubs meet and local children first learn to browse the shelves. We would like as many people as possible to write to the owner of Canyon Crest. Those protesting Cellar Door have written many letters, and I'd like her landlord, the owner of Canyon Crest Towne Center to know there are just as many, and probably more, voices who support Cellar Door.

Here is the Canyon Crest Town Center's management contact information:

And of course we encourage going to the store and supporting it, too if possible.

You know that feeling when you spend so much time thinking about a concept, never mind how basic, that you feel compelled to write about it somewhere? No matter if no one ever sees it? Yeah, that’s me right now so here goes.

TW: discussion of sexual assault

•

•

•

I see and hear an awful lot of discourse and rhetoric these days about trans-ness, gender non conformity, non-binary genders, drag performance, and every little thing in between.

Specifically, people who take issue with people who live in those realities and say it’s on the basis of protecting children from:

1) sexual assault

2) being groomed in some way that leads to sexual assault

And here’s the thing- I agree with protecting children from sexual assault. I agree with protecting *everyone* from sexual assault! But it seems to me like using those arguments against everything from gender-affirming care to drag story times at libraries completely misses the point.

HERE IS THE POINT: SEXUAL ASSAULT IS WRONG NO MATTER WHO DOES IT.

If you choose to sexually assault someone, that choice has nothing to do with: your gender identity, your assigned gender at birth, your gender presentation, the gender-affirming care you have or haven’t received, your clothing choices, or even your sexual orientation.

Here’s another way to frame it: a trans woman who sexually assaults another woman is just as much of a rapist as, say, the university student who sexually assaults a fellow student. I will grieve equally for both of those victims. Neither one deserves it. Neither rapist is entitled to their victim.

The reality is, one of those scenarios is FAR more likely to happen. But if anything has become clear (to me, at least), it’s that rape has very little to do with access to a victim and everything to do with the choice to rape someone.

Larry Nassar assaulted hundreds of girls in his time as a doctor. His access to girls didn’t make him a rapist. His actions did.

Brock Turner assaulted Chanel Miller while she was intoxicated at a party on the Stanford campus. His access to intoxicated girls and women didn’t make him a rapist. His actions did.

Catholic priests all over the world have molested children in their parishes. Their access to parishioners didn’t make them rapists. Their actions did.

These examples go on and on! And yet, very few people are interested in vilifying doctors, university students and religious leaders. It’s almost as if you can’t paint them all with the same brush, or something. It’s almost as if no sane parent will refuse to take their child to any doctor on the basis of “some doctors are rapists”.

So when I hear people say they’re opposed to trans people receiving gender-affirming care or using the bathroom of their choice BECAUSE it will create an environment in which sexual assault is inevitable, it makes no sense. Those ideas are dangerously misguided at best.

If you’ve read this far, holy shit, thank you. Like- am I way off base? Am I missing the point? Probably this is sort of heavy and a bit much to be thinking about, but I don’t know.

I would love for someone to expand on this topic - my experience as a cisgender woman means I probably have some blind spots and I want to learn as much as possible so I can help my trans siblings gain acceptance in all the small ways I can. ❤️❤️

I had discussion with some one earlier about the whole drag queen story time issue that so many conservatives seem to have a hard on for recently.

This individual used the term "Agenda" and I was like "yes of course it's an agenda. It's an Agenda to end homophobia and create decent adults in the future by teaching children from a young age that people can be different from you and still deserve the basic human right of empathy and respect."

Like, your only other option is that you want kids to grow up and hate/discriminate against their fellow citizens. There is no middle ground!

P.S. If you really don't want drag queens reading stories to your kids then opt out of the event. No one is forcing your kids to join!

One more time: Drag is for adults not children. 

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — This weekend in Twin Falls, Barnes and Noble is partnering with Southern Idaho Pride to host a drag queen and king book sale and story time event.

From 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Saturday, Twin Falls Barnes and Noble will display LGTBQ+ books, host readings by local drag queens and kings, and donate a portion of the day’s proceeds to Southern Idaho pride.

Arya Walker, who is helping coordinate the event, says providing a space for these types of stories to be told is coming at an important time.

“I think that it’s a good time to do this as well. We kind of did this just as a pride event to start with, but there has been a lot of backlash or banning books, etc. that I think it’s a little bit of a mixture of representation mixed with very good coincidence and timing,” Walker said.

If you are interested in helping the fundraiser, proceeds from anything you buy at the bookstore this Saturday will be donated to Southern Idaho Pride, but you must say you are supporting the cause when you checkout.

Fun stuff happening at home.

Big yikes quotes from here:

“At one time I was very confused with my own sexual identity and God straightened me out,” he said. “We’re just here out of love. I want to respect people but at the same time, i have to draw some kind of line of moral value.”

😬😬😬

"Santa Rosa resident Orlean Koehle said she felt that drag story hours contributes to children having gender dysphoria and feels that these types of events groom children to be accepting of the LGBTQ community."

Accepting of the LGBTQ community, what a terrible thing... /s

Super disheartening but shits bad out there, even in seemingly accepting cities. Our queer coffee shop was vandalized too with anti-trans signs.

Do what you want as a parent I'm sure you feel capable of protecting your kids just be aware:

I just don't think that a power structure that needs INSURANCE for s*x*al misconduct with children is a place where children are safe to be present.

You wouldn't bring a child into a nightclub knowing age inappropriate activity happens there often enough to require special insurance

Most parents won't even let their kids play online games where pr3dat0rs are present!

And yet we walk them in all dressed up in their finest into a building that has SPECIFIC SPECIAL INSURANCE to protect itself from s*x*al misconduct charges on a WEEKLY BASIS and often times will leave them there unattended with the staff of said institution that have SPECIAL INSURANCE to protect themselves from s*x*al misconduct charges for events, lessons, volunteering, etc.

Idk.

Risk assessment is something an adult is just significantly better at than naive little kids and I think they'd have a much easier time protecting themselves if they were able to choose to be present in such a place.

A child has no protection.

The church? They have protection. They've got insurance for it.

And yet we ignore this in favor of banning DRESS UP. There is 0 difference between drag performers and party princesses or character actors at Disney Land. They are all wearing a costume. They all tell kids the same thing. "Be yourself" "find your sparkle!" "You are fantastically you!"

All of which happens under parental supervision and don't require or have insurance to protect them from s*x*al misconduct charges.

Unlike many church activities....

Story time!

I saw someone talking about their first pride parade & how kind the people there were, so I thought I'd share what happened to me! I had to go with my mom, and she has no idea that I'm trans (thank goodness she knows I'm pansexual). Before we left the parade, I met this drag queen & asked to take a video with her for my friend. The drag queen was so kind to me! I think she could tell I was really overstimulated & excited, so she just held my hand & told me how gorgeous I was & it was great! She asked me what my pronouns were, & I almost said "he/they," but I caught myself & gave my fake pronouns. After the video, my mom was walking a bit ahead of me, so the drag queen told me, "So I noticed that you were about to use different pronouns in front of your mom, right?" I had nodded and was like "oh shit" but all she said was, "Are your pronouns he/him?" I told her what my pronouns were & she gave me this big hug & was like, "I'm so sorry you can't be your handsome self around your mom, sweetheart. Just remember that you are a gorgeous, handsome boy & that you'll always have a drag queen who loves you if your mom doesn't, okay, honey?"

Long story short, go to pride parades!! The people there are usually so nice & it's usually tons of fun :)
