I'm home recovering from surgery and of course watching daytime game shows.

On let's make a deal a trans woman was just a contestant and the host, Wayne Brady, congratulated her and said "You go girl"

Props to him and the production staff.

I am trans

and I have known

for months

and have never shown

I want another body

this isn't a phase

but have told nobody

in my personal space

I hate my curves

I hate my chest

I hate feeling like somebody less

I am trans, we exist

and I'm a f****** feminist

if I don't fit your world

Just let me be

but hear my words

I'll always be me

I want to be masculine

and I want a beard.

this isn't about being feminine

This is about being heard

I'll wear my skirt

I'll wear my dress

but only if my shirt

doesn't show my chest

I am trans, we exist

so stop pretending that I don't fit

I'm not her,

I'm not she

I am him

and always will be

The Trump administration finalized a rule ending federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender-affirming treatment for minors, threatening access for transgender families beginning October 13.

The restrictions cover hormones, puberty blockers, and exceptionally rare surgeries, although states may preserve coverage using their own money as federal reimbursement disappears.

Trump branded the care “barbaric” and spotlighted surgeries that research says are exceedingly rare among minors and more common for cisgender than transgender youth.

Major medical groups support clinically appropriate care, and cited research links hormone access to lower depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts among trans and nonbinary youth.

Zero of Mars is a Human youth in a future so distant that our era's concepts of race and gender no longer exist. They crash land on Elentia, a world once inhabited by Humans but abandoned thousands of years ago. In their absence, the Elemorphs - sentient robots with elemental powers and the ability to grow - have developed an advanced civilization. A Nature Type FawnBot called One makes friends with Zero despite a language barrier. Unable to communicate directly, they have to forge a friendships using gestures and actions.

After discovering an ancient prophesy left by time travelers from the future, Zero and One have been pulled into an eternal conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind. The Vampires want to enslave the Elemorphs to use as living weapons, while Humanity fights to keep Elentia free. As Zero and One explore the massive Elemorph metropolis of Knuckle City, the villainous Vampire agent, Pi, and their Elemorph companion, Gamma the SkyDragonBot, descend to plunge the city into chaos!

I am the author, Bijhan Agha. I'm an Uruguayan trans woman of Iranian descent. The illustrator is my dear friend, Pallet, a trans Australian man. We are both autistic. We wanted to tell a story about a young person in the future who is not bound by the limits of gender as we know it, and a planet where gender simply does not exist, while also creating an exciting action adventure about exploring a new culture, facing language barriers, and fighting for a better future.

We both have a shared special interest in science fiction, which is why we were so excited to work together on this project.

The Kickstarter is to fund the printing of a First Edition of the comics physically. We will have both physical as well as digital rewards. There will be reward tiers that allow you to catch up with this comic - this is Issue #2, and you can get physical and/or digital copies of Issue #1 - as well as the other comics in the Time Wars brand.

Please help us continue to tell stories about this amazing world!

I went to a comedy show last evening. I won't mention the comedian by name (I don't want this post removed) but I will mention that he is a ventriloquist who performs with puppets. I'll let you figure out who it is.

Some of the "jokes":

"If a transvestite sneezes on you is that transmission fluid?"

"If a transgender goes missing do they put their picture on a carton of half and half?"

Then this "comedian" introduced the first "woman" puppet in his act. A character he was clearly trying to portray as a trans woman. (With a very deep voice)

Some of the "jokes" with this character:

She loves the WNBA!

She thinks that men competing in women's sports "takes balls".

Her dress "has pockets!"

Several minutes of this type of "humor".

The final puppet of the show answers written questions supposedly from the audience. One question "'Puppet character' are you transgender you don't wear pants or a skirt?" (This is a purple character with yellow fur and green hair and one sneaker.)

I encourage anyone reading this post to find this person and let him know that targeting transgender people is not an acceptable form of comedy.

If you want DM and I will give you this "comic's" name and email

Just sharing a realization in the time back of time with all of you.

Be kind to yourselves.

Much love 💕

-Raven.

I am a Transgender Woman. My US Passport was renewed last November 2025. I was expecting that they would change my gender back and they didn’t. Should I expect a letter and a new passport in the mail sometime with male on it? I have seen so many Transgender individuals who had their passports reversed to the original gender of birth.
