Trans and intersex people in the UK need you to be loud and angry about the new "deception as to sex" guidance released which makes trans and intersex people legally guilty of rape if we don't disclose our gender identity and/or the sex we were assigned at birth to sexual partners.

This is particularly going to harm trans and intersex sex workers, who often have a higher number of sexual partners who we might keep our trans or intersex identity from for our safety.

"To summarize this guidance in the simplest terms, it treats a trans or intersex person not disclosing their gender identity and/or the sex they were assigned at birth as a form of deception which negates consent."

"This interpretation of part of the existing Sexual Offences Act (2003) places an unreasonable burden on trans and intersex people to inform our sexual partners of our medical history, while no such burden is placed on cis perisex people who are allowed to rely on assumption."

I should have bought more vegetables. In a fit of Christmas indulgence I have filled my freezer with pies and desserts. But this is not a healthful diet.

Writer friends, I discovered a fun website today. It’s called “I Write Like” and here’s the description: Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.  Let me know which autor you got!

This is a month and a half old so I don't know if anybody else has shared this article already. Also sharing a couple excerpts but please read the article in full. Especially with things flying around like the Texas Attorney General trying to obtain a list of transgender people and recently not allowing anybody to change their legal gender marker anymore (although, to be clear, Texas requires subpoena for access to this information currently). I don't know, if this informs your choice on what route you want to go with HRT for the better (i.e. DIY), I'm glad to have posted it.

Here is the map (check alt text for text list):

Because testosterone is already a scheduled drug, this is more immediately a concern for people taking masculinizing HRT. But there is definitely concern for estrogen facing the same treatment:

(PDMP is prescription drug monitoring program)

Here's the conclusion of the article, which I really hope you click on, but is important enough to attach anyway:

Obviously the election has passed. With the knowledge that Trump will be imminently president, please consider your options if you plan on starting HRT.

well it finally happened

so my dad is almost 80, this man's been making Spirk content since Star Trek started airing basically

he never knew ao3 existed, he just thought people stopped writing fanfic when ff.net died, like it was a fad that had outgrown him or smth

he clicked an ao3 link in my pinned last night, realizing that they were in fact clickable

he's mad at me for not telling him earlier. "I don't have a lot of years left in me and there's so much to read"

he's gonna spend his whole retirement reading trek fanfic now jesus christ
