devils moaning on detransitioning

wild that conservatives trot out stuff about detransitioning when many studies show numbers around 1 percent. then you look at how many people regret ANY cosmetic surgery and its 60 percent. so trans people are SIXTY TIMES more likely to understand body and NOT regret change

they will say things like ‘1000 people regret’ which SOUNDS big until you see that is out of 100,000 transitions and then realize the average of regret for ANY ccosmetic changes would be 60,000 people. they frame it how they want but honestly these numbers are EXTREMELY PRO TRANS

what the science says is ‘wow trans people really put a lot of care into this and know what they are doing SIXTY TIMES MORE OFTEN’. honestly even if it was twice as much it would be a big deal but SIXTY TIMES. anyway something to think on while the goofball devils moan and groan

here are some sources but you can look this up yourself: HERE and HERE

When your fave authors fave you…

"I’m a huge fan of Xio’s writing. She always delivers smart, poignant, relatable romance, and this one is a prime example. Diving into the glamorous world of Hollywood, and it’s not-so-pretty-side too, Love on the Byline is witty, steamy, and absolutely delivers on both a friends-to-lovers and right-people-wrong-time trope that’s my catnip. —Rebecca Yarros"ALT

Woke up Wednesday morning excited to finally receive my copy of IRON FLAME even though I started it Tuesday night. (Sleep? Don’t know her.) Imagine my surprise when I learned Rebecca had given me(!) a shout-out. I’ve been in awe of Rebecca’s writing for years, and to watch her recent, meteoric rise to the stratosphere has been inspiring. It couldn’t happen to a nicer person. Thank you, Rebecca! Keep Shining!

UPDATE FROM A QUIET CHUCK

if you ever see chuck get quiet online for like a dang month its because i am probably deep in editing. BURY YOUR GAYS is so good i think buckaroos are going to love this book but it is haunting my brain right now and probably will be for at least another two weeks. dang editing

i think this will be my longest book it is quite a bit longer than CAMP DAMASCUS actually and pretty dang complex. you pull one string then other pieces move, so tough to edit. but i would say FULLY PINNED on horror meter, gore meter, funny meter, and heart meter. gonna be great
