I'm an author, actor, performance artist, and advocate for teens, freaks & other outlaws. Pronoun? Any will do, and I’ve done so many

@SebGorka Hey Dr G, I wish you and your loved ones good health. Were you aware of this?

Q: Have many of the mass shooters been transgender?

A: The number of transgender mass shooters in the U.S. is less than 0.1% of all the mass shootings since 2013.

Gender Outlaw came out May 12, 1994, it’s still making people laugh, cry, and gasp out loud in recognition. Thanks for your trust in me and support all these years. Oh, and fuck you very much, Donald Trump—I’ve sold more books than you have.

Okie dokie, here’s a shiny new essay by me for your delight. What I’ve learned so far about the nature of binaries.

Just got my advance hardcover copy of MARSHA, by Tourmaline. At long, long last Miss Marsha P. Johnson has a for-real and lovingly written biography. Cannot wait to dig in!

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

@FoxNews @BretBaier Question for Veep, please: our first president, George Washington, set what has become a sort of template for the office of the president. How do you see yourself embodying his example? How is that different, do you think, from what your opponent may do to GW’s ideas?

[Barbara Carrellas @urbantantrika]

Excellent article. Is anyone really surprised that a fascist who constantly promotes violence was the target of violence?

@FreePeople Hi. Longtime customer here. Re: new item--Hudson Canyon Stripe Pants--just came out today. I know it’s not just me who can see the resemblance to what prisoners wore in Nazi concentration camps. Could u please take down the picture and remove this from the catalogue?
