The save act in congress won’t just hit married women, it will keep some married men from voting as well. One will be me. The save act the republicans are pushing would require your birth ceertific and driver’s license to match to register to vote. Also according to this report the photo ID must be a passport which I did not know, and if true most lower income people don’t have one. They cost over 200 dollars. Mine don’t because when we got married I took Ron’s last name. I think everyone can understand why. But my license has my married name of course, but my birth certificate has my adopting parents last name. Hugs.
The video below details some of the racist attempts to purge black people from positions of authority and to erase the racist history of attacks on black people over time. The video also explains how tRump ordered the agencies of his government to remove black hoildays from the list of free entry days at national parks and instead replaced them with his birthday. This is simply the whitewashing of history, the removing of evidence of the massive racism / damage done to black people in the past, and the purification of the US as a white ethnostate. Just look how tRump refers to black journolists. Hugs
Notice that she mentions that Schumer caved on the one demand the democrats were fighting for during the government shutdown, while the public supported us. He got a promise for a worthless vote in the senate but not the House. A vote he knew would fail. Why cave, because the filibuster was on the line and both parties are desperate to keep that to prevent the status quo of supporting the donor class from changing. She is talking about body cam footage which the democrats are demanding, but 90+% of the time they were not used against the officer but the victim. The officers who killed Pretti had body cams but that footage has not been released. Hugs
At the end of this clip the guest describes the conditions the kids are being held under in these for profit prisons. Horrible food, prison like conditions which means no freedom of movement, and other things. Remember the boy and his father are here legally like so many others scooped up by these racist ICE goon Gestapo gang thugs and the tRump admin. Hugs
The 2 year old got her hand cut during the attack on him. The father signed his deportation order because he worried they would keep coming back after his daughter and wanted to spare her that. The racists got what they wanted. The video also describes how ICE was arresting people, detaining them, and then releasing them in other parts of the country. Hugs
This a new little book I made about Ciel’s struggle to come out during a sleepover at Stephie’s place, back when they were in 4th grade.
To be honest, I made it for three specific reasons : first, I needed a break from the pressure of having everything I draw available on the internet, which allows a lot of visibility but also a lot of vulnerability to haters and transphobes. I needed to create something that would be relatively immuned to the attacks that I get for making this comic.
Second, I made it because I’ve been wanting to revisit the beginning of Assigned Male for some time now. The learning curve has been very steep since I started it two years ago, and I quickly grew unsatisfied with the first 30 strips or so of the series. I’ve been wanting to redraw those for a while, and this short story about Ciel and Stephie was the perfect opportunity for that.
Third, there are things that I needed to talk about and themes I wanted to explore that just couldn’t fit in the webcomic format. Important stuff like confidence, trans femme friendships or the feeling of getting to know ourselves better.
So yeah, it won’t be on the internet, sorry! But you can get it here
Hey there! So I’ve been juggling with this idea for some time, and I think now is the best time to launch it, a little more than one month before back-to-school.
As a former elementary school teacher, I know how limited classroom budgets are, but as someone who grew up trans, I also know how important it is for trans youth to be in contact with positive trans fictional characters. So here’s my idea :
I made this children’s book titled “A Girl Like Any Other” about four yearsago, about a young girl’s transition and her family and friends. It’s basically the book that launched my career as an author. It allowed me to meet some of the most amazing families that I know, and gave me the background setting for my comic.
As it’s almost back-to-school time, I want to send copies of the book for free to elementary teachers that are willing to have it in their classrooms. All they will have to do is to message me their school’s address on Tumblr or by email before August 15th. I will also send them a link to download my “Genderific Coloring book” for free.
The goal is to get the budget to print 200 copies as well as enough money to cover shipping fees for all over the world. I’ll adjust the goal if I see that the demand is higher than that.
It costs around 8$ to print one single copy, and we can estimate a 4$ median for the shipping (it’s 2.50$ for Canada – where I live, – 3$ for the US and 5.50$ worldwide). We need to add 7% for the handling of the money by GoFundMe and Paypal, so that’s 12.84$ per copy – and 2568$ for 200 copies.
If there’s any money left from the campaign, it will be donated to the Trans Lifeline.

Please share widely (and pass the info to teachers)!
Last call to get this book into classrooms!
Since the beginning of the school year two weeks ago, I’ve been receiving messages from teachers asking for resources to help with trans children in their classrooms. I’m giving away copies of this children’s book I made about a trans girl for free to K-6 teachers around the world! Just send me a message if you want it for the school you’re teaching in.
It also not too late to contribute to the crowdfunding campaign that makes this possible : https://www.gofundme.com/7d4rbtvs
Also, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to those who already participated or asked for a book for their workplace. It makes me believe in community power even more. ❤
(And if you just want the book it’s here)
Listen to tRump’s crazy ranting in the video below and it is so bizarre. He claims he built the military and so many crazy things I am stunned that this person is the US president. Hugs
