Thank you for your incredible work, and congratulations on hitting a year! I really appreciate all that you do, and I’ll be honored to help fund your work when you’re set up for it.
Work-related question: In what feels like a really dark time, are there any hopeful emerging trends you’re seeing for the trans community (either in the U.S. or globally)?
For fun question: what’s your favorite cuisine? What are some of your favorite dishes?
Your first question: It's important to remember that the right engineers anti-trans rhetoric to obscure the cruel nature of its policies. I don't believe they do it for the people that already care—quite the contrary, I think it only serves to make anti-trans laws palatable to the people that don't care (which is most). "Trans issues" have often been ranked dead last in issue importance opinion polls, which is to say that it doesn't swing people to the GOP. That said, going mask off hateful, like some Republicans are starting to do now, could swing people away, and I have faith that it will.
Now the food question: honestly? Vietnamese. I absolutely love to have a good fried rice or pho!
Thanks for the reminder on the first question. I refuse to believe that empathy is dead, and I’m hopeful that we can tell our stories in a compelling way such that it eventually overtakes the far right propaganda machine. Voters may not view our “issues” as important, but my hope is that they’ll eventually move on after realizing that scapegoating us doesn’t help anyone (and obviously harms us).
very informative and is much appreciated. would like to see occasional information for older (Medicare) folks. some of us are 70+.thank you for all you do
Congratulations!🥳🫶Thank you for the excellent work you do! You are helping me hold onto my last couple threads of sanity during this deeply distressing time. Wishing you safety, happiness, and continued success! I’ll be reading.✌️🤓🏳️⚧️
Thank you so much! As for your question: at least for now, I wouldn't feel right doing so as I can't pay anyone at the moment. When I can though? Absolutely!
I run a Discord server the transgender community in the Seattle area. I've set up a channel to receive RSS feeds from various LGBTIA+ and transgender news sources. If you were able to set an RSS feed of your publication, I would add it to the channel.
As a trans supporter, I enjoy your stacks and the info very much. Here's to a successful year two and beyond!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Will continue to pass the word about Transitics as far and as fast as I can! ✊🏼 ✊🏼 ✊🏼

Thank you! Love your Substack!
Can't believe I'm the first comment! Love your work. Would you ever consider taking on collaborators?

I believe you can just go to https://transitics.substack.com/feed but I'm not entirely sure
It worked! Your article about the judge refusing to block the anti-trans law in Kansas showed up already.
Yes, that does look like it would work. I will give it a try.
Thank you!
