Does anyone else just have this looming anxiety like your instincts are telling you that you need to run and flee the country before shit hits the fan but you can’t leave because you have no where to go… I’m too scared to fight and that leaves me with an overwhelming sense of guilt

Badge for Inez’s Clippings Grandma’s got a brand new Badge! After nearly 110 posts, I felt we were long overdue. In other news, I have a name of a 30’s era quilt block to share and I think it’s pretty cool! When I obtained some old quilt blocks from an old farmer’s estate sale, I asked around for help with the name of them. They were often referred to as an orange peel or a dogwood flower. Good…

Agnes Pelton (American, 1881-1961) - Winter (1933)

[brandyschillace]

I turned in the book manuscript for INTERMEDIARIES, the forgotten history of the first transgender clinic 1918-1933.

It follows the story of Dora Richter, the first transgender woman to undergo complete MTF surgery (not Lili Elbe; she was third!) It’s taken me two years of blood, sweat, and tears. A lot of tears, actually.

The Nazis raided the Institute for Sexual Science; they burned the library. They banned the books that remained. They attacked, arrested, and ultimately killed trans and homosexual people along with disabled people, minority groups like the Roma people, political opponents, and 6 million Jews. (One commenter suggested 11 million people over all, and really, that estimate may still be conservative).

The news today, 2023, reads a lot like news in 1923 with the rise of hatred against LGBTQ, attacks on reproductive rights, and increasing racism and antisemitism. The Nazis rose throughout the 1920s, coming into power 1930-1933.

The world said never again; we must now be the ones to stop a slide into hatred and violence. Before it’s too late.

Here is a preview of the book; it will be available for pre-order this winter (I hope), coming out in 2024.
