Hey Bluesky! Hit me up with the most recent book, story, song, or other piece of art you loved that was created by a trans person. Let's boost some trans creators today.
Reminder that I have a new short story collection this year! If you liked the Trans Space Octopus, or if you don't know the Trans Space Octopus, or if you want to read about people turning into houseplants and non-houseplants - www.brokeneyebooks.com/store/p113/P...
Broken Eye Books is publishing the collected short stories, Power to Yield and Other Stories, of Bogi Takács.

every time I make the mistake of reading one of these screeds, I am struck my how miserable the author seems to be talking about this and then I compare that to the joy and energy at the trans open mic night near me.
I made the mistake of reading e lily yu's transmisogynistic screed and now I feel bad :( but it helps me to remember all the beauty and happiness we trans people have birthed into the world. The clear misery of these transphobes cannot erase our joy, anymore than a shadow can swallow a candle
