Michael Ann DeVitoI’ll admit: the primary reason I don’t spend much time on here is that transfem Twitter is still going strong and producing instant classics.
Noah Liebman@michaelann I bet @lisamelton could hook you up with quality transfem content here
Lisa Melton@michaelann I am surprised you can tolerate the toxicity, let alone just the transphobia, on Twitter.
Girl, this old lady asks you to please not support that place.
And, yes, as @noleli mentioned, just look at who I follow on my other account, @lisa, (the list is much smaller than this account) to find the fab trans femmes here.
Looking at your own list, I see you're already following some of them.
I just followed you on both of my accounts to let you know how serious I am about this. 💖
@lisamelton @noleli @lisa ah, but IMO there's still value there - transfem literary twitter, in particular, is casually generating insightful trans theory all the time. It also hits two of my research areas, platform migration and user agency/resistance - I'm both impressed by and academically interested in how trans women, especially, are finding new ways to adapt around the encroaching horribleness. Plus, Twitter is still how queer and trans students keep finding me.
@lisamelton @lisa That said, lovely to meet you - I'll be over here more to get a feel for discourse on federated platforms, as I have an awesome grad student who is doing cool work on blocklists over here.
