You have until January 7th to pre-order a copy of Transactional Intercourse through Kickstarter, now we’re past the initial funding. The e-book will be sent out on February 1st with physical copies by the end of the month! All backers get a “thank you” in the book and will get the audiobook for free when it releases.

(The book will come out for everyone else in April if you can’t support now, but backing this way helps subsidize copies going out to trans and intersex sex workers who can’t afford them. )

haven’t watched this show or read the books but i can’t stop thinking about how much fun tumblr in the heated rivalry universe would be on the day the main characters’ relationship finally goes public

as a gay person i am so impressed with ilya rozanov and shane hollander's bravery in coming out at the peak of their careers (while captaining two of the best teams in the league!) and think this has the potential to have an incredibly positive impact on the state of homophobia in men's professional sports and sports fan culture, as well as the mental health of gay players at every level. however as a boston fan who is still bitter about ilya transferring i hope jakey dies

i get that everyone's having fun and all but they're not even the first openly gay professional hockey players on their respective teams. like maybe calm down a little

not gonna name names but wow some people really want to minimize the bravery it takes for two queer men to be open about their relationship in a professional athletic environment just bc said queer men don't play for their preferred hockey team lmao

#your homophobia is showing babe!

so you're telling me those two hockey players who people shipped for a literal decade just admitted they're a couple for real?

op is a harry styles x barack obama shipper btw. like they're saying this gives them hope harry styles and barack obama are going to admit their secret decade-plus relationship too. just in case you forgot that most rpf shippers are completely insane

They weren’t lying when they said that as an adult you have to fight for your life to practice your hobbies

They also weren’t lying when they said that when you fail to do so your soul shrivels up inside your body and dies

If you're at work in a retail or hospitality environment and you see a sex worker with a client... no you didn't.

If your boss asks you if you think that person's a sex worker, you tell them you do not believe that. You don't report their presence to anyone. You don't joke about it with a coworker. You don't eavesdrop or bother them.

We're working the same as you are. Leave us alone!

Some examples of situations where you might need to keep your mouth shut about a potential sex worker:

• You see someone you don't recognize walk past reception at your hotel to head directly for the stairs or elevator or towards the rooms without acknowledging you at the reception desk. Yes, this includes when the person is wearing revealing clothing or a nice dress and heels. This is not your business.
• You notice multiple men going to the same hotel room during the same evening, each only staying for an hour or so at a time. This is not your business.
• You seat two customers for dinner and work as their waiter/waitress for the night. You see one give an envelope of cash to the other. Yes, this includes when there's a huge age gap between the two and they're being affectionate. This is not your business.
• You overhear one customer ask another how much they charge for a night, whilst making drinks for them. You heard nothing. This is not your business.

I do not care what kind of retail or hospitality setting you work in. If you see a sex worker, no you didn't!

if the cops get involved, you know who gets punished? not any of the clients, only the sex worker. not a pimp, not the hotel manager, only the worker; and the cops are liable to sexually assault them as well.

if you have any qualms about sex work, you can start by improving workers' rights as a whole. demilitarizing police. increasing comprehensive sex ed for all ages. battling misogyny in the workplace. under the boot of capitalism, we all suffer - the most vulnerable, such as sex workers, suffer worst. leave them be.

@clownfluencer I swear this post attracts the MOST false info in the tags of any post I’ve made, with people being so confidently wrong.

As someone who has sold sex in Canada, the sex worker will be punished if caught! At minimum, this will be by being kicked out of the place you found them soliciting or seeing a client and lose out on money, but if the person is an immigrant on a work permit or is visiting from another country you’ll get them deported/sent home and the engagement in prostitution will be logged and get them banned from travelling to various countries. There are absolutely serious consequences to reporting sex workers in Canada.

This is true anywhere clients are criminalized, therefore selling sex cannot be considered a legitimate profession, meaning it breaks the rules of work visas or a right to travel there.

cars are so much scarier than planes. i've literally never been afraid on an airplane like first of all being on a plane is fun. second of all you're in a big as fuck vehicle with no other vehicles around for miles and the person at the wheel is a professional and not just Some Guy. one time i was getting a ride home from a nonbinary friend of a friend who was driving very erratically down the highway at 1am and they said to me unprompted "i have ocd so i only drive at speeds that are multiples of five"

this was years ago but i ran into them again at a party and they didn't recognize me (transition) so they started hitting on me and wouldnt stop talking to me about criminal minds yaoi. and i've never had this happen with an airline pilot, at least not an openly airline pilot

“Where do you see yourself in five years” is kind of an odd question for a job interview now that I think about it. Like idk. Having a job? You could give one to me right now.

Discussions of trans women in sports often focus on elite/professional sports which honestly I find it hard to care about but the more common scenario of “we’re going to legally ban a high school girl from playing sports with her friends because she’s trans” is just profoundly evil

i remember when utah's (republican) governor ended up vetoing a law banning transgender students from playing high school sports when he looked at the numbers, and there were only four trans students in the state playing sports at all. he released a clumsily worded but surprisingly compassionate statement about the decision.

I must admit, I am not an expert on transgenderism. I struggle to understand so much of it, and the science is conflicting. When in doubt, however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy, and compassion. I also try to get proximate, and I am learning so much from our transgender community. They are great kids who face enormous struggles. Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56.

75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah.

4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah.

1 transgender student playing girls sports.

86% of trans youth reporting suicidality.

56% of trans youth having attempted suicide.

Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live.

of course, it didn't amount to much. they overrode his veto. it's just so cartoonishly evil. an entire state's political body so desperate to terrorize this one little trans girl.
