"Spear" by Nicola Griffiths. This was a change of pace for me, it's been a long time since I've read a book that's in this mode, of legend and folk tale.
It's a retelling of the King Arthur story, set in Wales. It's about the life of Sir Percival, known in this story as a young woman called Peretur.
It reminded me strongly of Rosemary Sutcliffe's tales of ancient Britain, and apparently those were a direct inspiration. As well as many other books, including the Lord of the Rings.
It's subtle, rich and gentle, cruel at times like myths often are, but engaging and entertaining too. The gender-shift of Peretur, female but perceived as male, was well handled and made sense.
I cared about the characters, and I enjoyed the way the traditional story was twisted and changed.
I don't know how it would read if you're not familiar with the stories of King Arthur, with Merlin and Nimue, Guinivere, Lancelot, Kay, and the rest.

"Patients who received gender-affirming hormones were 37% less likely to be infected with HIV than those who were not taking hormones. And if they already were infected, they were 44% less likely to have transmissible levels of the virus in their blood." https://www.statnews.com/2025/03/27/new-data-shows-gender-affirming-hormones-protect-from-hiv/

Apparently today is #MusiciansDay? That's cool.
If you'd like an #introduction to my music, here's my most popular song. :)
I tend toward retro-tinged #folkMusic, but my tastes are eclectic, and I hope it shows. Themes of #MentalHealth, #politics, and #spirituality come up often in my songs.
I love connecting with other #queer, #trans, #disabled, and otherwise kind folks here, so please reach out!

Sooo I've been doing the voice stuff recently, right? Would you commission me for reading things? I honestly have no clue what you would commission me to read, but the thought crossed my mind so I figured I might as well ask 
Works so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnEyZZEn_qE&list=PL2d7hrcggyd97GHjSuenQEWJBalgxclWC
A cis-woman who is naturally very tall was harassed by a man when she used the restroom at work at a Walmart. She reported the incident after the man was gone and she was safe.
Walmart fired her for it.
Remember, transphobia affects cis-women too. It's all part and parcel of misogynoy in general.

If you're not already familiar with Erin Reed, she writes a daily (sometimes several times daily) blog about the state of #transgender rights in the USA. She is awesome. She just published this relatively good news:

The poll also shows heavy #support for transgender youth care, opposition to the military ban, and opposition to the prosecution of teachers affirming #trans #youth.

People felt weird around her, as though they were neither male nor female…
She was recommended to see a noted professor and under his supervision, Beyle became a man…
And they were no longer Beyle, but Berl"

[The Celestia Code (Intro)] written by iisaw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnEyZZEn_qE
This is a book intro that has stuck with me for the 10+ years I've known of it. It sets up the book perfectly, establishing one of the main character's key convictions *and* subverts it in one go, and sets up where the story will eventually get to part-way through the book in an opening scene that is both concise and also one of the most visceral, evocative scenes I've had the pleasure to read 
I'm genuinely curious how well this holds up for people that aren't MLP fans, so if you listen to it, can you tell me how it was?
