Houston has always been one of those places where everyone could clearly see The Good Ol’ Boy’s foot on all of our necks. If you were queer in any sort of way, you knew it on a visceral level. When cops began joining us in Pride, that was a huge WIN for us because the […]
Someone recently asked me to breakdown the link between the TERF opinion leader Janice Raymond and insurance policies that exclude trans care. Here’s the link to the original article. This article meticulously exposes a few less than truthful fact assertions Raymond has made, but it’s quite long. So, here’s the TL;DR article excerpt version: It was […]

It’s been months since I’ve done an update, so here goes: Most recently, I was included in the trans 100 list.
