Just so folks know where we are. 211.68 raised, $2363.32 remaining. Eri's #rent for $1,500 is due in ONE DAY and we've barely made a dent in this ask for rent and #bills. Eri is trying to uplift themselves from their situation by finding #work, which hasn't been going well for them. Let's make sure a #trans #disabled #Black person gets to do that this #PrideMonth. The rest of the #LGBTQ+ community wouldn't be where they are without #queer Black folks. @mutualaid #TransCrowdfund

Wishing our agender siblings a happy Agender Pride Day!

#CassReport must not be ‘#spun’ by #opponents of #trans #healthcare, says #Labour #MP.

Young #trans #people, who already face “huge #barriers to #healthcare, including years-long #waitinglists”, should not see their #health and #wellbeing become a “front in a #toxic #culturewar”.

Hello world, my name is Mia and I am a trans woman.

I am only just coming out, and for the moment only on Mastodon, as I have found a wonderful trans community here that has shown me that some things I thought weren’t doable not only truly are doable, but they are wonderful and can turn someone’s life around for the better.

A little context: I have always known that I had a strong feminine side. I didn’t, for many years, think too much of it. I was just a more sensitive “man” than most, who liked some girly things. Whether consciously or unconsciously, I suppressed some of those things, mostly, I would assume, because of society’s pressure to put us into boxes and the slightly conservative, Christian education I received.

Over the last few years, though, I started exploring these feelings, digging deeper into my soul, trying out things that aren’t necessarily “man-like”: I shaved my legs, then I shaved all the hair below the neck, then I started painting my nails. I looked at myself in the mirror and started to see glimpses of what I really wanted to look like.

But, as a parent, sitting firmly in middle age, I didn’t even think transitioning was for me. “It’s too late anyway, so why bother feeding the thought?” And then I stumbled upon the trans community in Mastodon. I wasn’t even looking, it was an absolute coincidence, but seeing so many brilliant, beautiful, brave women who transitioned at a similar stage in life gave me the courage to stop lying to myself. I am a trans woman.

I have only told a close friend IRL; I need to prepare myself for the very difficult conversations I will have to have, specially with my wife (although I am certain she has some suspicions) and I am not quite there yet. But I feel I have found a safe space in Mastodon and wanted to share my feelings with the wonderful trans community here. Thank you for helping me get on my journey. #Trans #ComingOut #Transgender

Transgender people overwhelmingly describe their lives after transitioning as “happier,” “authentic” and “comforting” despite a deluge of state legislation in recent years that seeks to restrict their access to health care and other aspects of life.

Let's talk about Natives on this Trans Day of Visibility, like Kauxuma Nupika (c.1780-1837), an Indigenous AFAB Kutenai who divorced his Canadian husband and then declared himself male. As a trans Native, Nupika became both a warrior and prophet, predicting the arrivals of Europeans to Kutenai lands amnd trying to forge peace between nations like the Salish and the Blackfeet

March 31 was already significant to me because that's day in 1998 when I helped #Netscape Navigator become #OpenSource.

Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a #transgender woman. And it's my first #TransDayOfVisibility that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.

To all my #trans siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️⚧️🫂💖

Really need help with this month's rent/bills. Got some good news this week about getting into a PhD program but that unfortunately doesn't improve the financial situation for 5 more months. I'm pretty fucked to the wall for March, I already sold all my hobby related stuff worth money (magic cards mostly) at the end of January and I haven't even gotten a call back anywhere since early January. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-trans-woman-pay-her-rent-and-bills

Anti-gender activism is bringing us closer to authoritarianism - Los Angeles Times

The fear of “gender” allows existing powers — states, churches, political movements — to frighten people to come back into their ranks, to accept censorship and to externalize their fear and hatred onto vulnerable communities.

Today on Assigned we've got something/someone new, an essay from the front lines of the Florida public school system by substitute teacher Sarah Khan, who is closeted trans woman.

She describes a changing world where once innocent things like having nicknames or doing make-up for a school musical run afoul of draconian state laws.

This essay is urgent and necessary and makes me so sad. Our students and teachers deserve better. #trans #LGBTQ #news
