Update on my graphic novel Trans History! 📖📜 The new publication date is set for Spring 2025. The book covers a wide range of history, and includes a whole chapter of illustrated interviews with people I've been working with one-on-one. I hope you'll agree it's worth the wait!

I was a trans kid in the 90s. Me and a few other kids like me stuck together like glue. One of us tried to come out and was immediately put into therapy where they showed him videos of trans people who had botched surgeries and told him he'd never be a real man.

Why were there no ‘trans kids’ in the nineties?

One of the BIGGEST lessons from ACT UP (as defined by Sarah Schulman) was that:

1. Disagreement on methods (e.g. medication strikes) is NORMAL

2. You can be in solidarity with people even if you disagree about methods.

Cecilia Gentili was a living legend. A titan, an unapologetic example of trans joy and power. Her spirit lives on in all whom she touched and all she built for us. Rest powerfully and peacefully, Mami. And go kiki with the ancestors. You deserve eternal pleasure. 🙏🏽

@TylerAlbertario Half the articles my anti-vax qanon relative sends me are from websites claiming to be about "natural food"

[Alex L Combs @alexlcombs]

@TylerAlbertario There is so much overlap between the food purity people and the right-wing conspiracists
