Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop.
You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Stand By Me. Absolutely stunning. One of my top five favorite movies.
Reiner's THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT is legit one of my favorite films of all time. It's a film I would put on when I worked in video stores and can, to this day, quote line for line as I sit and watch it. It won't make most people's Reiner top 5, but it is far & away my favorite of his ASTOUNDING career

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

He had so much of my admiration. Such an incredible loss.
The current reports are vague but the reported ages match for him and his wife. Fuck.

Remember how scary it was for the 36 hours where it felt like the Right could explode into violence as a repercussion of an assassination? That's what our trans brothers & sisters feel like every fucking day
We have to protect them at all costs. They are our line in the sand; not a bargaining chip.

Trauma, justice, true love. And queer happiness, wicked battles, and magic. There's always cats. Always tea.
Technically as an indie author you are a business and businesses often do well to have branding.
Chaos, gentleness, and genderfuckery is the one I aspire to.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.
Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.
The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.
