Looking for fiction with good trans representation that my family might read. Need books that:

  1. Normalize trans experiences for cis individuals,
  2. Match specific genres/themes for each family member, and
  3. Don't scream "trans" from the cover.

Dad's into Tom Clancy, so a military submarine thriller with trans representation would be ideal—super specific, right? Wonder how that would play out!

I am personally not in a postilion to correct people right now as I am still using my dead name with some people... in the future though I would LOVE to just say "no need to apologize, you got it right the first time." Keeping in mind that for those that are working retail, it is probably best to politely correct whenever possible.

Now just out right aggressive shit like when I heard some guy behind my back say something along the lines of...

(was going to leave a very upsetting example here but decided to spare you the example, but let's just say that while I am boymode-ing often it is obvious to many that I am either trans or queer based on my appearance)

...as I was still working I just turned around and while my voice and words were nothing but polite... I am sure my expression did the trick because the dude shut up fast.

(I hate my body (my height being one thing I wish I could change), but in situations like that, an upset expression from a 6'2" person is somewhat more affective)

You give that up that strategy and lean into fixing shit when you put the time in to customize the OS and desktop/window manager experience... at that point you should understand your system well enough to make fixing it easier, and you are also afraid of having to redo some of your customization. That being said, you still should make regular system backups, especially if you are tinkering with the OS experience a lot.

 

Don’t know if this has been shared yet… but thought it was cool.

Gov. Laura Kelly issued a directive that allows agencies under her control to defy a legal opinion issued earlier this week by Republican state Attorney General Kris Kobach, telling them to follow their lawyers’ narrower view of the law. Kobach has told reporters that if Kelly's administration did not follow his opinion, he might sue her.

The new law is set to take effect Saturday and legally defines a person's sex as male or female based on their “biological reproductive system” at birth, a standard that would apply to “any” law or state regulation. Kansas driver's licenses and birth certificates list a person's sex, and Kobach said they can't contradict what doctors assigned at birth.

He also said the state must undo changes in its records — more than 1,200 in the past four years. Lawyers in Kelly's administration rejected that idea, saying the law is not retroactive.

Kelly, a strong supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, took office in 2019 after defeating Kobach, then the Kansas secretary of state, for her first term. Kobach narrowly won the attorney general's race last year.
