I am a jurist and bioethicist. I served as the first openly transfeminine clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada, coined the term “gender modality”, and am famously horny on main. I am also inebriated on a weekday evening. Ask Me Anything!
Linkin Park’s first two albums (three if you count Reanimation) are amazing and I will not let anyone convince me otherwise.

Any collection of Jorge Luis Borges’ short stories. I also quite enjoyed Jacques Poulin’s Le Coeur de la baleine bleue.
I mean idk maybe? We'd have to get to know each other more first.

In no particular order: masturbate, watch bad dating shows, binge fictional worlds' lore on wikis, think about how amazing my girlfriend is, write smut, write academia, what the fuck is private time.

Capitalism is the fucking worst. I’m an anarcho-communist that’s grown very cynical at how neoliberalism has perfected assimilating and quashing—often violently—any effective resistance. I fear we’ll reach climate no-return long before revolution.

No, that’s why I’m so horny on main. Though I guess my Facebook acts as something of an alt. But Zuck doesn’t allow nudes. 😫

Peach because butts. Plus it leaves all that juice in your face like when you eat pussy.

Je reviendrai à Montréal. Dans un grand Boeing bleu de mer!

The trick is self-hate, anxiety, and disbelieving it with a little over half your brain.

The post literally states that I am horny on main. You do not get to be surprised. Also that’s hardly obscene by my standards.

I do not. I am far too much of a useless femme to have delved into those topics.

First we need to define the parameters. What counts as pegging besides the obvious of me fucking a cis man in the ass with a strap-on? Is it defined by the hole, the gender, the genitals, or all of the above?

I’ve been to fewer than 5 if we don’t count open air free concerts, so I won’t embarrass myself by saying U2. New Pornographers were nice but the speakers were too loud for my delicate ears and I’m pissed Mountain Goats didn’t open for them in Montreal.

The rainbow-feathered and trans flag-feathered ones.

What is this thing you said - optimistic? Never heard of her.

The Mountain Goats’ discography. Also whatever song goes “omg I have a girlfriend my girlfriend is the cutest aaaaaaaaa”.

What’s the horny one? Is there a tentacle kink one?

The gay gene is a lot of things, not many very good. I don’t think it need erase bisexuality and asexuality though the research as currently done definitely does. But it’s just shitty either way. As for eugenics versus conversion therapy, potato potato.

Sounds fun. I’m in. Can I be coauthor?

Would recommend asking someone who’s not a colonizer. Am far from an appropriate person to answer that! Countless people to follow but Eve Tuck, Cindy Blackstock, and Kim TallBear are crucial voices.
I wish I was allowed to say. 😂 There’s some good shit.

Yeah that’s not at all the case. In fact, it might be almost more accurate to say it’s the other way around. But for a fuller take, see: florenceashley.com/uploads/1/2/4/…

There’s no such thing as pineapple on pizza. There’s pizza-shaped pie with pineapple on it. But if it has pineapple it’s not a pizza. It’s good, but it’s not a pizza.

All birds are lovely except pigeons. Fucking sexual harassers. That said, of common Toronto birds I love sterlings.

I trust the Quebec government less than the federal one currently. I also don’t believe in states. I’m pragmatic—will it have a preferable material outcome? Right now I can’t say it would.

Standard! And don’t try poutine “in Canada.” It must be Quebec.

Is the social and financial capital you’re acquiring make you feel better about being a hypocrite complicit in th… — Not at all. But I feel worse about my complicity in settler law separate from its carceral aspects, as most of my… curiouscat.qa/ButNotTheCity/…
I have complex but ultimately deeply ambivalent feelings about the law and being in the field. Perhaps one of the reasons why so much of my work ends up being in bioethics and trans health instead. I’m constantly asking myself if being here is making things worse or better.
I doubt I would be in law had I transitioned before university. I finished my degree because I was most of the way through. And I enjoy, from a strategic standpoint, the ability to be taken more seriously when I say law is oppressive bullshit—which comes with the degree.

You don't have a right to know people are trans. And before someone asks, yes that includes sexual partners. People's histories aren't your beeswax.
Do you have an ethical and legal right not to engage in sexual acts you don't want? Absolute-fucking-ly. But that's very different from a broad, abstract right to know whether people are trans.

Trans Twitter, can you be a good ally to trans communities while still publicly expressing love for Harry Potter and partaking in the fandom?
And does your answer change if you know that JK Rowling claimed that her fans are a silent majority of transphobes who agree with her, using them as support for her position?
If anyone cares about my views, I’m tending towards no. You obviously can actually love it—that’s all fine. My concerns start with publicly professing love and engaging in fandoms, because that’s where it starts breathing life into her cultural power and transphobia.

Gender identity is complicated and honestly if it wasn’t for the fact that my womanhood was constantly called into question, I’d probably have openly expressed my ambiguous identification to non-binariness much earlier.
The truth is that I aggressively do not care what my gender identity is, have no idea what it really means to feel like a certain gender, and only claim words to the extent that it makes people act towards me in the ways I desire.
You’re allowed not to know your gender. I’m allowed not to know my gender. The requirement that we label ourselves to be granted recognition is liberal hogwash that cares about choices in the abstract rather than in substance.

Alright, everyone! I have decided that today is “Florence shows off papers and tries to get cited” day. Buckle up! All of the papers listed can be accessed for free on my website:

florenceashley.com/academic-publi…
This is my very first publication, which inspired the first special issue on trans law in Canadian history. It talks about how hate crime laws fail to protect trans people because they are based on misconceptions about the nature of transphobic violence.

muse.jhu.edu/article/684529
Some places like the UK make it a crime not to tell someone you’re trans before having sex. This paper argues that thick conceptions of privacy rooted in equality do a better job against these laws than ‘trans men are real men’.
