not even two years after the 2024 racist riots and attempted pogroms, we are back to more racist riots and attempted pogroms.
a mosque in scotland had to be put into lockdown. they are going door-to-door with hit lists and addresses in northern ireland, setting houses alight. they firebombed an imam's house in manchester. people of colour are being targeted and attacked by racist mobs in the street in broad daylight.
and instead of widespread condemnation or wall-to-wall coverage, the UK media and political establishment is filling air time talking about the "legitimate concerns" people have about "illegal migrants"
when i say autogynephilia isn’t real in any meaningful sense, i don’t mean that trans women don’t get turned on by themselves being hot. i mean that it is perfectly normal to do so and many cis people also do that
also you totally can transition for sex reasons. that's a thing you can do. your reason can absolutely be "god it would be so hot if i was a girl" and you're not a weird pervert for thinking that because cis girls think "god its so hot that im a girl" allllll the time. they really never stop thinking it
you can want to get bottom surgery solely so you can neopussy bounce on another trans girl so hard that it makes her want one for herself. that's totally legal

There are currently THREE FEDERAL BOOK BAN BILLS aiming to ban all TRANS BOOKS from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661
June 2026 / Maia Kobabe (a trans author, for three years in a row the most challenged author in the U.S.)

HR 2616 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools if they “teach or advance concepts related to gender ideology,” as defined by an Executive Order signed by Trump in Jan 2025. It would also cut funding from schools unless they require “parental consent before changing a minor's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name on any school form.” HR 2616 HAS ALREADY PASSED IN THE HOUSE! Please call your Senators to say NO ON HR 2616!

HR 8705 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which teach “discriminatory equity ideology or gender ideology,” as defined by two Executive Orders aimed at suppressing “critical race theory” and trans representation. This bill is named after the late far-right activist Charlie Kirk, “The Charlie Act.” HR 8705 has passed out of committee, but has not yet been introduced in the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 8705!

HR 7661 threatens to cut federal funding from public schools which offer material deemed “sexually oriented," treating any LGBTQIA+ identity as sexual content. It specifically forbids “gender dysphoria or transgenderism,” and “lascivious dancing” (drag). This bill, titled “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act,” has 22 co-sponsors and has passed out of committee but has not yet been introduced to the House. Please call your House Reps to say NO ON HR 7661!

“My name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state, zip code]. I’m asking [Senator] to vote no on HR 2616. I oppose HR 2616 because it would restrict student’s access to books and it would specifically harm trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and protect queer students!”
“My name is [name] and I’m calling from [city, state, zip code]. I’m asking [Rep] to vote no on HR 8705 and HR 7661. I oppose these bills because they would restrict student’s access to books and accurate history, and would especially harm BIPOC, trans, nonbinary, and intersex students. Please stand against book bans and support public education funding!”

Author Maia Kobabe: If HR 2616, HR 8705, or HR 7661 pass, it would be almost impossible for any public school in the U.S. to offer or teach my books, unless they’re willing to risk their federal funding. Students would be even less likely to learn about trans stories or accurate U.S. history.

listen. newly out tgirl. I am grabbing your hand gently. do not EVER, ever ever ever, trust any tme person who thinks of themself as more of a lesbian than you, or more of an authority on women's issues than you. I promise, no matter how freshly out you are, it's not that you need to quiet down and learn. you are not tainted with some implicitly anti-feminist maleness that you need to atone for. you are a woman, unequivocally. do not trust anyone who makes you feel otherwise, not even for a second. there are no exceptions to this.
How to survive the phase of shitty writting? I know i can't skip it in order to grow, but realistically, how to not give up? How to keep going knowing everything i create is worthless for now and i don't even feel i'll ever progress? I’m trying to come back after quite long time of not writing, i was writing fir years before but i hate pretty much all my previous works, but the curent ones i’m trying to write in order to come back are qualy bad, i’m worried it can never get better.
Write crap.
No really. Buy yourself a notebook or open a doc and label it "Complete Shit." Spend at least five minutes a day forcing yourself to add to it. If you can't do it every day, try doing it three times a week. If you can't do it three times a week, try to schedule it at least once a week. But you gotta make yourself try at least once a week to write something.
This writing doesn't matter. You don't have to fix typos or fiddle with punctuation. You are just going to sit down, write literally anything for five minutes, and go about your day. Try some writing prompts. Describe your mediocre breakfast. Talk about your cat. Write a songfic. You can and will get through this, but you've got to not give up.
Everyone goes through this, and the only way through it is to weather it out. However, if you don't make yourself sit down and write as often as you can, this funk can sink in and keep you from writing for ages.
And if you're still at this point where you can't write anything without hating it, do something else creative. Read books, watch movies, try your hand at art. Do things that keep your brain thinking, because you will be able to reconnect those threads again, but you've got to remove that pressure from yourself to be good. You simply have to be, and keep going, and you will find joy in your writing again.
