Time to resign
Another popular one, especially in wealthier US families, was that your son would “move to Europe,” and then a few months later your “niece” would move into town and live in his old bedroom.
Trans isn’t new. We just have to know how to look for it in history.

*...this depends heavily on how you view him. I would personally argue some of these are in-character.
**Some of these have since been retconned.
***Some people are very upset about this one, apparently - Mod 1
I'm one of those people - Mod 2

I understand why people write “other characters close to character X react to fucked up thing that happened to them” fics, it’s cathartic and it’s good character study, but sometimes in the back of my head I’m like “that guy would Not open up about that”
#I know I’ve said this before but the fun thing about the bats is when you say ‘you couldn’t waterboard that shit out of them’ you can mean #it literally. Like I genuinely don’t think that literal actual water boarding could get Dick to open up about the incident with Catalina #in contrast you have Jason in bftc who apparently did tell Bruce that Something Bad happened to him when he was a kid and it got used #against him later so like. That’s never happening again that shit is going in the vault Forever #I guess that’s why a lot of these fics use sci-fi or magic macguffins like truth serum or mind melding
a few doors down from me my neighbors have a squirrel bar nailed to the tree in front of the sidewalk, not exactly this but something like this:
it's been there for years and they never "stock" it so it's just sitting there. anyway, i thought it would be cute to make a little squirrel out of sculpey and leave it on one of the stools in the middle of the night. i also made a little sculpey beer bottle with its own label.
it lasted exactly one day and now it is gone. it didn't fall off, i stuck it on with tape. what do you think happened to it? your most fantastical and wrong answers only, please
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
Shoutout to trans women for being the only ones to do something actually politically radical with the recent trend of girlcore catholicism
