In June of last year, @FineComic wrote a beautiful essay about going through fertility treatments, and then pregnancy, as a trans person. “The same tools that helped me cope with gender dysphoria proved incredibly helpful in coping with infertility” trib.al/ykATPlU

'Fine: A Comic About Gender' by @FineComic is a graphic celebration of the vast diversity in the transgender community. Amidst Ewing’s own story of grappling with identity, a decade of interviews is rendered into an informative collage. #BookOfTheDay: on.nypl.org/3j1hmiq

@FineComic explores their own gender expression and what it means to them and others. The art is lovely and the discussions are extremely relevant. #365DaysOfBooks

Researchers completed the first large longitudinal study on trans children this year. They found only 97.5% of trans kids continued to identify as trans. Those that desisted did so for various reasons including the violence faced as trans people. publications.aap.org/pediatr…

Lots of people believe lots of fake things. It’s tempting to look at this through a purely political lens. I really like this book by @DavidNeiwert because it looks at conspiracism through a psychological and sociological lens. Here are a few of my favorite insights: 1/

When people talk about “what’s alienating conservatives” about comics/games/movies/whatever I remember a conversation I had with a self-proclaimed conservative who said that if Gargoyles was made today (like not a reboot, exactly as it was in the 90’s) Elisa would be too “woke”

Literally one of the most enjoyable things I've experienced as an author.
Dear friends, I promise you are not imposing to ask an author to visit your book club reading that author's book. A group of people reading & discussing, by choice, a portion of our soul? What a lovely miracle.

A crucial insight of sexuality studies is that identity, behavior, and desire are not interchangeable. They are related, but conceptually and functionally distinct. MPX shows that once again our collective inability to learn this one simple lesson causes incredible suffering.
