This is so fucked up, and I can’t share this with my partner who is applying for the working disabled social security program. Paul Aguilar, an AIDS activist and survivor, just had his social security payments stop, with 30 days to repay a 13 year oversight of overpayments…. About $200,000. WTF!? This is insane.

This #ThrowbackThursday, closely following Trans Day of Visibility, we wanted to focus on trans history, so we’re looking back at the work of Joseph Gamble in “Information Pleases”: Dictionaries and Trans History.

"I’ve watched brilliant colleagues apply textbook approaches while missing the handprints of police raids, medical torture, and political scapegoating that shape their LGBTQ+ clients’ inner worlds."

prismnpen@stranger.social - Here was a young #gay man seeking support. He was born into a world far more accepting than mine, yet inexplicably carrying wounds that mirror those of men who survived the AIDS crisis.
