Hi all! How about some positive energy?

Here’s a list of some of the amazing Trans Creators we have over here on GOAD and their socials. You can also find loads of trans themed works on AO3 as well! To the World 🏳️��⚧️🥂
@gahellhimself-blog — whom you may know from his incredible comic Teach-Me and so much more incredible art! (Find him on Patreon and Instagram!)
Terraific — who has written some lovely prose as a longstanding member of the writers guild! (Find them on AO3!)
@e-rated-beardo — if you haven’t noticed the regular reblogs on our account on beardo’s fic, Scorn and the Saintmaker, (featuring trans Aziraphale), then you should go check it out, it comes with delicious art! (Find him on AO3!)
@randomshitwithwinter — we recommend you take a look at his latest WIP, Are you a mic pack? which also features trans Aziraphale and the joys of being out! (Find him on AO3!)
And finally, seamstrex_divine42 (aka, midwestern_gothic) who is working through his very first WIP with the GOAD Writers Guild. Keep an eye on our tumblr for their posts!

Accidentally having my top surgery pre-op consultation on TDoV the same way I accidentally got married on Pride that one time.
#through some bizarre set of mental gymnastics I still don't claim the term “trans” for myself#but I'm definitely getting gender-affirming top surgery in a nonbinary sort of way and this is so on-brand honestly#nonbinary#top surgery

1930s news about a trans woman: Well I'll be curfuffled young Corlotta Jhonson has transformed herself from a dandy into a dame and what a Bombshell she's become. And How!
1930s news about trans men: Wanted dead or alive this young lady who started wearing trousers, the tomboy terror known only as The Crust is wanted for snorting the President's personal stash of opium and has slain nearly every senate member in a pistol duel.

This is a book that I bought in 2002, when it was newly published. I misplaced it for a couple of decades and then found it in a box in my parents' house last year.
It is... incredible, to start rereading this book that was so influential for me and is somehow more than 20 years old. To read introductions from people who experienced the gender politics of the 50s and 60s and learned and grew and saw so much evolution in their lifetimes.
It feels sad, too, to read about the same LGBTQIA+ infighting that we still see. It feels melancholy to read about times when maybe there was less of that. I love seeing the hope for better things, and I worry that perhaps we have not done well enough in these last two decades.
In her introduction, Joan Nestle says, "Think of the richness of the conversation 50 years from now, if we survive the present world."
2002.
If we survive the present world.
#personal#I don't have it in me to write a proper essay here but maybe it deserves one#Maybe my fellow older-ish queers can add smarter things to this#I'm just vibing with feelings from my college self who was so excited to learn that this was a thing#and what might be possible#Voices from the past are so important and I'm afraid a lot of people won't listen because the language is old and we use different words now#But we had the words we had and I'm really losing the thread here but the point is that this book was hugely important to me#and I'm glad I found it

Kids these days missing out on the unique joy of thinking they've discovered a brilliant shortcut to slogging through Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War (skipping all the speeches), realizing they have made a critical error (almost the entire body of the work is the speeches actually), using the book's impressively robust index to research a very specific topic for a 12-page paper because there's no time to actually go back and read the whole book like they should have done in the first place, (giving the paper a purposefully pretentious title including a colon and an em-dash), and getting it back from the professor with an "A" and a comment about how they clearly understood the material and engaged in a meaningful dialogue with the author.


#as others have already said in the tags#bullshitting a paper is a skill#and this memory brings me joy every time I recount it

This is what's happened every time I've tried to make a webcomic.

me as a writer
#but also I've never completed a webcomic so my horse drawing would have a lot of missing pieces#this drawing reimagined by Damien Hirst maybe#(I'm supposed to be working rn)

One week until my pre-op and I felt The Fear breathe on me today.
#I don't even know what The Fear is directed at tbh#Probably the convoluted benefits system for my medical leave#but could also be the part where they're going to switch me off and then switch me back on again idk#personal#top surgery#nonbinary

Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someone’s life? A coworker can be like “I’ve missed seeing you” and I’m just like “???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?”
