“God blessed me by making me trans[...] for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: because he wants humanity to share in the act of creation.”

You'll love this I promise

i hope all humans randomly develop bug exoskeletons in the following year so tiktok skincare girlies can stop worrying about every single smallest line on their faces and just focus on how shiny and strong their chitinous armor is

You can't quote the "God made me transsexual" quote from Julian K. Jarboe and then in the next breath be antisemitic. That quote comes from the teachings of Rabbi Akiva, it's a *Jewish* quote, and the way it's thoughtlessly parroted by antisemitic queer goyim is yet another example of how the modern queer movement benefits from Jewish activism and voices and teachings while simultaneously excluding and demonizing us. You can't have it both ways. You can't use Judaism for your own self-validation while not cherishing Jews.

LIKING WHAT YOU SEE: A DOCUMENTARY by Ted Chiang (2002) (link) - tw: ableism

We saw calli as an opportunity: What if we could live in an environment where people didn't judge each other on their appearance? What if we could raise our children in such an environment?

I AM A BEAUTIFUL BUG! by Julian K Jarboe (2019) (link) - tw: bugs, themes of transphobia

Once at the clinic, I brought my copy of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka to my brief pre-surgery consultation. I pointed to the inside cover illustration, and said, “Gimme the works, doctor! Just like Gregor Samsa!"

Everyone on the Moon Is Essential Personnel by Julian K. Jarboe

goodreads

In this debut collection of body-horror fairy tales and mid-apocalyptic Catholic cyberpunk, memory and myth, loss and age, these are the tools of storyteller Jarboe, a talent in the field of queer fabulism. Bodily autonomy and transformation, the importance of negative emotions, unhealthy relationships, and bad situations amidst the staggering and urgent question of how build and nurture meaning, love, and safety in a larger world/society that might not be "fixable."

Mod opinion: I haven't read this one yet, but it is on my tbr, it sounds so interesting! Update: Very, very fun stories here, especially the apocalyptical ones. Yipppieeehhh I love transgender speculative fiction!!!

Super weird when people I used to vaguely know get famous after I stop paying attention to them

“Give me one of every face that has ever been called ugly. Give me one of every skin that has ever been called excessive. Give me a way of moving that no space can admit or accommodate, and then reshape the entire world to hold me.”

Don't you ever wish you'd been just a little better, or more useful? Isn't there anyone you could have just been kinder to?"
