  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    I just want young trans folks to know that even if your life is filled with people telling you your identity is wrong, or a sin, or that you can’t find happiness and fulfillment while being true to your identity: They’re wrong. They’re just wrong.

  2. One year ago today Dex and my best friends braved a massive snowstorm (like, the courthouse almost closed) to come with me while I sobbed though the hearing for my name/gender marker change. I've always been a girl, but this was the first pic of me as a legally recognized woman.

  3. (I spent so long coming up with this dumb parody the tweet I was replying to was deleted when I finished. It was funnier in context.)

  4. West of the Kings Road–born and raised. Paladin training's how I spent most of my days. Exorcising, smiting, and drawing ward runes: I was smiting evil as bards composed tunes. Then a cult of the damned categorically adverse to good, Starting slaying members of my brotherhood.

  5. We either have to normalize talking about good men who are also rapists, or we have to dramatically up our standards for who we herald as a good man. If either idea makes you uncomfortable: good! That's how survivors feels when their trauma is dismissed as a distraction.

  6. They say 1/5 women will be assaulted, but almost every girlfriend I have has shared with me stories of being casually harassed, groped or assaulted. It's happened to me. Many have stories of vicious attacks. It was never a man who felt he needed any mask beyond his privilege.

  7. Being a bread winner, donating to a cause, giving an emotional performance or advocating for social change is not incompatible with being a rapist and we absolutely have to stop pretending it is. The idea you can spot a rapist by sight or some outward clue is a dangerous lie.

  8. You can say X helped communities, improved systems, changed the world etc AND was a rapist. You can respect some choices a person makes and abhor others. This false dichotomy we strive for isn't just a lie, it's a camouflage that predators have been exploiting for decades.

  9. So when we constantly invest tremendous resources in preserving these legacies and silencing victims, we perpetuate the lie that "Good men" and "pillars of the community" can't be rapists when they very demonstrably can & are. We turn the mere existence of a legacy into an alibi.

  10. The way we obscure or omit stories of sexual assault from legacies, whether great or middling, is dangerous. Most rapists aren't strangers, they're known to the victim. Survivors often aren't believed because of the legacy of the attacker or the goodwill they have with peers.

    Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't like people who use their faith for justification for doing what they know is wrong." That's clearly a shot at for citing his faith as a reason for voting guilty on the first article of impeachment

    The roads in North Utah County and Davis County are also iced up. We are on the scene of numerous crashes in Salt Lake, Davis and on the Tech Corridor of I-15. Slow down, increase following distance, and watch out for first responders.

    If you can telecommute our delay travel today...please do so. This storm is impacting Salt Lake County's roads worse than expected. It's cold and the roadways are snow-packed and iced up. If you're out driving, please bring your speed to a crawl and give room to 1st responders.

  14. And just take that experience and apply it to teachers, coaches, classmates, teammates, churchgoers, friends, family, scout leaders and strangers and add up the aggregate of that feeling over decades and you start to glimpse why this all isn't just jokes or locker room talk.

  15. A moment etched into memory is a friend telling me while I was in the closet "I'd never allow my child around someone like that" about an article about trans teachers. Have you ever had to end a friendship but didn't feel safe explaining why? I was the "best man" at his wedding.

  16. We often celebrate the bravery of people once they come out, but this is just a reminder of the kind of incredible strength it takes to be closeted in a hateful environment. Many queer folks know how it feels to hear everyone you respect say they don't respect people like you.

  17. “I can still remember every single person who said something to me... Like when your heart just drops and you get cold, that’s how I’d feel every time someone talked shit about gay people, because it felt like they were saying it about me.”

  20. This version is also somehow the first time I realized that Jaskier uses the geological scope of the terrain to sneak an "elf on the shelf" pun into this song,
