Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.

Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.

Good news: I got a job! No more mutual aid needed!

Bad news: April Fool. Though I did get offered a job, it's going to be MONTHS before it reaches the point where I am paid and don't need #mutualaid.

So... can anyone spot me any amount from like $5 to $1000?
I have so many uses right now for such funds, chiefly relating to food and the further improvement of the #Vulpibus into something @Kuniti_shino and I can live, work and transform my vessel into a kitsune form in (and make freedom of form genetic tech for all)...

No that part's not an April Fool, I'm just fucking determined.

Today is International Trangender Day of Visibility. I'll start with WHY we have Trans Visibility Day.

'Dani Davis was in the women’s restroom at the Walmart where she worked when she heard a man’s voice shouting from outside the stall.

The man yelled a slur for transgender people and said he was going to beat them up, Davis said. She was the only person in the bathroom at the Lake City, Florida, store.

Davis, who is not transgender, said she feared the man thought she was trans because she is 6-foot-4. She hid in the bathroom until the man left and told her supervisor what had happened.

A week later, Walmart fired her.

But when she heard angry threats echo in the Walmart bathroom where she sat alone, Davis could only assume she’d been swept up in the nationwide surge of anti-trans attitudes that has spilled through Congress, prompted hundreds of anti-trans laws and spurred an increase in hate crimes.

“He was yelling about [transgender people] and how he was going to mess them up,” Davis said of the man in the restroom.

Confrontations over gender identity have led to accusations and threats against both cisgender and transgender people. Spectators, parents and school board officials have accused girls of being transgender after seeing them in sporting events. Trans people’s use of bathrooms became a national flash point in 2016, when North Carolina passed a law that required trans people to use the public restrooms that match the sex on their birth certificates, instead of those matching their gender identities.

That bill was repealed a year later after protests and sweeping boycotts that cost the state an estimated $3.7 billion. But reports of women being harassed or threatened in bathrooms and accused of being trans have continued.

Davis, who is gay, said she has felt disheartened as conservatives have stepped up attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. She is hoping to leave Florida, but she said the sudden loss of her job complicated those plans.

“The intolerance … I hear it all the time,” Davis said. “It just feels like everything’s closing in on me.”'

Note how a heteronormal cisgender man felt entitled to enter the women's bathroom to yell at a woman to get out of it.

Trans Rights are Human Rights.

My mom had hot flashes for 50 years. They started well before menopause. Which is something I wish I knew before my orchiectomy. Now, I have horrendous hot flashes, which will likely continue for the rest of my life.

Do I regret my gender-affirming surgery? Not at all!

I would rather live the rest of my life with hot flashes than a single day longer in a body that did not feel like my own!

There is a reason that so few trans people regret their gender-affirming surgeries. It's because we have them to affirm the truth. When you embrace the Spirit of Truth, you have no regrets.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility!

After three years, the Church of Christ in Tarpey Village is closing. It had a good run. In that time, we had convinced the church leadership of two conservative churches to become more inclusive, had ministered to dozens of LGBT+ people who had been hurt by toxic religion, and had comforted many more dealing with grief, loss, and uncertainty.

I don't know what God has in mind for me from here. For now, I'm a preacher without a congregation. I'll be going to different congregations looking for a new church home, whether that means preaching or not.

I still plan to continue my translation work (see bio). It is so essential that we have a good translation of the Bible that isn't hindered by dogmatic editors. If you can help support that effort, I'd appreciate it as I am otherwise unemployed.

'The bill defines social transitioning as “any act by which a minor adopts or espouses a gender identity that differs from the minor’s biological sex … including without limitation changes in clothing, pronouns, hairstyle, and name.”

As the ACLU of Arkansas notes, if enacted, H.B. 1668 could lead to frivolous lawsuits against “hairdressers who cut a trans teen’s hair, teachers who use a student’s chosen name, and nonprofits that offer support.” Such lawsuits, the organization says, would be unlikely to hold up in court, as the First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech and free expression.

However, the law is clearly meant to chill support for trans and gender-nonconforming young people with the threat of costly lawsuits. Describing the bill as “state-mandated bullying,” the ACLU of Arkansas writes that “H.B. 1668 fosters a climate of fear, where doctors, teachers, and even parents risk financial ruin simply for supporting transgender youth. It is a blatant overreach of government power, attempting to control private decisions and to circumvent our constitutional rights, including free speech, religious exercise, due process, and equal protection.”'

At this time, Multnomah County is considering ending its funding for SMYRC. There is never a right time for such a move but now, of all times, when the LGBTQIAS2+ community is under attack on a scale not seen in decades.
