The Current State of Transgender Hate
With the current level of hatred and politics being forced on anyone that is trans, my wife and I feel very under siege.
I'm a transgender man, so I fly under the radar, but my wife a gorgeous 6'2" and visibly trans. She's 51, but looks 20 years younger than that. She can't pass and hide being transgender, nor does she really want to. She's happy with herself, and that really should be all that matters.
Yet, at IKEA last Saturday, my wife used the bathroom, and some boomer aged Karen sidled up and literally stared at my wife's crotch until boomer Karen realized my wife was paused in her hand washing and staring right back at her.
In the car, some dude in a truck was staring at her boobs, and kept moving his truck forward to star at her with his jaw wide open.
On the way home from work today, she stopped by her favorite pot shop. There is a gender nonconforming clerk there that has great clothing and nail polish. I don't know if the clerk is trans or just gender nonconforming. We politely smile and focus on business because you know how it is.
My wife was being rung up out by the clerk, when some dude holding a toddler entered the pot shop and literally stared at my wife.
He turned to the employee, got flustered, and asked "Is there another staff on duty?!" when the employee helping my wife said yes, he said, "Send them out to my car!" and aggressively stalked off.
An employee went out, talked to him, and he left. His car had one of those racist dog-whistle Gadsden Flags on it. Here's an article on its shifting meaning these days.
I guess bringing a toddler to a pot shop is okay, you know, as long as none of us trans folks are in there.
It's just so insane. My wife can literally go nowhere without these things happening now, and we live in Western Washington! Bluer than blue politically, and filled with a lot of generally fantastic people.
The people attacking transgender people also appear to be the kind of people that "aren't racist", heavy on the quotation marks, and have issues with gender rolls and probably women. The Venn diagram seems to skew into a circle on those topics.
I have always maintained that these folks have some sort of hopped up in-group out-group psychology, and genuinely like attacking others that are not a part of their in-group. It's a hobby, a pastime, and they just don't care. If it wasn't us, it would be someone else. They are an attack looking for a target.
It's just a little scary that right now me and my loved ones are that target.

There are entire aspects of my personality which people have decided they don't get to exist.
Because it doesn't fit into their mental idea of, what somebody would be like if they did have all society’s ideals abolished; and such liberated somebody is experiencing life outside of society's model of living.

Speaking as someone who's been outed many, many times, by both "allies" and homo/transphobes, some of yall are way too comfortable sharing other peoples' queer identities.
"But what if I'm trying to be funny?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if I'm an ally?" Doesn't matter
"But what if the person I'm talking to is an ally?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if I'm queer?" Doesn't matter
"But what if the person I'm talking to is queer?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if the person I'm talking about is a stranger?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if it's really obvious?" First of all, ew. Second of all, Doesn't matter.
"But what if they didn't come out to me, I just figured it out on my own?" Doesn't matter.
"But what if they're getting misgendered?" It's just as easy to say 'actually she's a girl' as it is to say 'actually she's transgender and uses she/her'. If that person is pretransition, it's also easy to just bite your tongue and not say anything.
Unless that person has explicitly given you permission to share that information, you DON'T. No matter how certain you are that everyone is accepting, no matter how noble your intentions, it's not your information to share. Getting clocked sucks, getting outed sucks, and they're both an invasion of privacy no matter who's doing it.

i love you “boring” trans people. i love you trans people who prefer to keep your transition or exact feelings on gender private. i love you trans people who dont want to be leaders or activists or role models. i love you trans people who just wish to live your lives. i love you trans people who read books quietly or go to work and chat. i love you trans people with “boring” or “normal” lives

If a transgender person asks you to deadname and misgender them in front of certain people. Misgender them and deadname them in front of those people. It doesn't matter how icky or gross it may feel, it doesn't matter you'd rather be honest. It doesn't matter if there's more of you there. Certain people aren't safe, and honesty IS NOT the best policy when honesty could put them at serious risk. It doesn't matter if there's a crowd, because when there isn't shit goes down.
Be an ally, do what they ask. Understand that the trans person knows more about their situation than you do, and this includes who's safe and who's not. Some one can be "trans friendly" to other people, but not to people they know or specific people. Do as the trans person asks, yes it's uncomfortable, but it's 10 times worse if the person we don't trust finds out. 100 times worse if they have access to us when you're not around.
Respect trans peoples safety. Misgender and deadname when asked.

A peculiar tale ?
Author: Torrey Peters Genre: Transgender Fiction “It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us we should not exist.” Laverne Cox Well, its the final Sunday of this month and the final blog post of the Pride Month series. Maybe next year who knows will come up with more great choices. Believe me this series just opened up the horizons of…

Writing any kind of story is a scary proposition, especially if it deals with personal stuff. And writing about trans people during a bogus moral panic is especially daunting -- it's easy to either pull your punches, or feel as though the burden of good trans representation weighs on your shoulders. The good news is that we are living during a time of extreme riches when it comes to trans stories, and a ton of wonderful authors are writing trans tales that defy categorization and bust through boundaries. So please write the story that speaks to you, the story that only you can tell about your own obsessions and dreams. It can be scary or funny or comforting or escapist, or all of the above — don't worry that what you write will be singled out as the One True Trans Story, or seen as a representation of all trans people. Just write your story.

Groceries, Breakfast, and Transgender in Public
Yesterday we went to a business/restaurant supply Costco. You can use your normal membership to go to the business/restaurant supply Costco. It’s just a Costco that doesn’t have all the electronics, clothing, and home goods, and instead has the food in bigger quantities, and restaurant supply stuff. The reason we went is it opens at 7am and is practically empty, with easy parking. We get up…

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is planning on changing their regulations for telehealth prescriptions of controlled substances. However, they have opened comments up for people to voice their opinions. You can submit a formal anonymous comment HERE. The comment period ends on March 31st, 2023.
This is an important issue for those who are prescribed controlled substances (e.g., testosterone or ADHD medication) through telehealth, which means it can and will impact trans people on testosterone and a ton of others if this goes through.
