de/transitioning. Top Story - August 2026.

i've been wanting to write for a while now that i have stopped testosterone. actually, i stopped nearly a year ago. not because i'm detransitioning, and not because i'm unhappy with the results of my medical transition thus far. although i have discussed the unhappiness with my experience of not being cis in a medical framework built for a cisgender world; more specifically, what it is like for me to be non-binary or genderqueer (depending on things) within a culture and society (therefore its structures, like healthcare) dominantly informed by the existing and rancorous two-sexes/two-genders theory. and although i will continue to discuss these things (including here), i really just wanted to talk about how good it feels to feel at home in my body in a way that is meaningful to me.

The Pride Flag and the Diversion. Top Story - February 2026.

For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn.
