"Simon would be the top", "Grace would be the top!"
THEY SWITCH PEOPLE. THEY OBVIOUSLY SWITCH.
Some days it would be Grace and he would do everything in his power to make Simon feel better and lighter, even if he's teasing him a lot.
Other days would be Simon, and some days they would just give eachother lazy kisses for God knows how long, but they would not set in just one doing everything all the time, pleaseguys
"I can't believe Grace never knew he was number two on the mission, basically level with Stratt, it's so obviousš" this man's office is literally a janitor supply closet and that's Only when they're not using it to store the janitor supplies š
"He knocked twice and leaned into my office. "Dr. Grace? Are you Dr. Grace?"
It wasn't a large office, but you're lucky to have any personal space at all on an aircraft carrier. Before it held the high honor of being my office, the room was a storage locker for bathroom supplies. The crew had three thousand butts that needed daily wiping. I got to keep the room as my office until the next time we were in port. Then they'd fill it up with more supplies.
Transphobia is being signed into law in the UK. Let's fight it together.
I am begging the UK trans community and its allies to attend the rescheduled Mass Lobby at Parliament, now on Wed Sept 9th, 1pm-5pm, organised by Trans Solidarity Alliance.
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a con
The new EHRC Code of Practice pushes trans people out of toilets, hospital wards, and community spaces. It normalises gender policing based on appearance and stereotypes. It became statutory guidance in the UK on August 5th, 2026.
Trans people are now legally their assigned gender at birth and must join gendered spaces accordingly, but if they are perceived as their lived gender, they can also be ejected from those spaces. The guidance says: either break the law, or donāt pass too well.
A mass lobby is where you invite your MP to discuss your concerns with you in-person. Our demands have changed. Ask your MP to:
Write to Ministers and Prime Minister Andy Burnham to say they are profoundly concerned by the rolling back of trans rights, and that they believe that it is time for Parliament to legislate to protect equality for trans people.
Ask parliamentary questions focused on protecting trans peopleās rights and defending trans peopleās abilities to live safe and dignified lives.
Speak up both inside and outside Parliament in defence of trans peopleās rights.
Meet regularly with trans constituents to understand their lived realities.Ā
Your MP does not have to be an ally, they do not have to respond to your email for you to show up and greencard them (details below the cut.) What matters is that as many people as possible show up.
I cannot stress this enough: Showing up in person matters. It is much more effective than petitions, emails, and letters.
We have already had some wins because we took action. The 2026 EHRC guidance has already rolled back its most harmful elements because of mass campaigning by individuals like us, and groups like The Good Law Project. This summer, 166 MPs signed the Early Day Motion 240 to reject the EHRC Code of Practice, because of our campaigning. That is 1 in 4 MPs.
It is a horrible, stressful time, and I am so sorry if you're trans and live in the UK. But I was at last year's mass lobby and the line for greencarding alone stretched around the back gates. It was a record breaking mass lobby and made us impossible to ignore. Let's do even better this time. Details under the cut:
Worried about what to say?
Bring your personal worries about transphobia being signed into law, and trans friends being excluded from public spaces. You are a living person who deserves dignity. Remind your MP of that. On the day, you'll get guidance and brochures from Trans Solidarity Alliance that outlines our demands. This is mine from last year.
Here is an online briefing for lobbyists (10 mins read for essential info, 20 mins for details)
Money issues?
Trans Solidarity Alliance provides a travel bursary that you can sign up for via the link.
Got a refusal or no response from your MP?Ā
Come anyway! You can request a same-day appointment with your MP through a process called greencarding. They will come and see you if theyāre already in Parliament. Even if they donāt, theyāre made acutely aware of your cause because you showed up in person. This is my greencard from last year.
Here is the EHRC Code of Practice in full. It's a tough read, but some highlights are:
Organisations canāt provide trans-inclusive, single-sex services, or they risk being sued for discrimination. e.g. domestic violence support for women including trans women, menās rugby group including trans men (12.68).
Trans people will have nowhere safe to pee. If youāre a trans man, businesses can't allow you to pee in the men's, and you can also be ejected from womenās bathrooms if youāre perceived as a man. Vice versa for trans women. EHRC suggests a āthird spaceā bathroom, which is discriminatory and unworkable for most businesses. (13.130-133)
Sports organisations must exclude trans people from single-sex competitions (13.73).Ā A womenās only sports competition must exclude trans women because of their biological advantage or face potential lawsuits (13.74), but a trans man who has undergone testosterone treatment can also be excluded based on fairness rules (13.81).
Trans women are stripped of the legal definition of ālesbianā, and therefore no longer have legal protections if theyāre discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation. (2.50, 2.92).
Here is the Good Law Project's better explanation of the EHRC Code.

Save the date and book off work!! I will see you there :))
I think my brain chemistry changed more drastically than everā¦.so hereās some sketches of Grace (ft two Rockys) I made this week, Iām still trying to get the hang of drawing him. I might have some bigger pieces up my sleeveā¦
Simon calling Grace 'Ryland' as a reminder that the man is a person before he's humanities saving grace. Hes a human being and he's allowed to have all the feelings that come with that and what happened to him is so unbelievably fucked up and he's allowed to be upset even if Stratt was right Ryland is a person and he's allowed to want to live
something something he/she simon in modern au with internalized transphobia from the whole cult thing and grace introducing her to he/him butch lesbian colt that does not give a fuck something something
Simon that only feels a little comfortable putting a they/them to their he/him for a while because of the backwards life they were raised in, but never pushed it any more than that.
Cut to meeting Ryland and Colt and just feeling the slightest bit braver :)
Iām curious just HOW much eridians can see. Cause if they can see around walls, can they focus their senses to see the smallest of raised/indented material??
Like can they technically read Graceās pen handwriting because it indents the paper justttt enough that they can read it without any special tools? Or can they see moles and tattoos on Graceās skin? Can they adjust their sight (like squinting almost) to see the top layer of Grace, like his clothes and stuff??
Curious
