If you're trans, we're fighting ancient bigotry, but homosexuality was illegal, yet now equal in law & life.

It may get worse, but great strides in gay rights made it easier & great strides will be made in trans rights...

When cis & trans folk will live & love with liberty & equality...

When trans & gay are accepted equally...

When trans & gay are equals in LGBTQ community...

When we've proportional representation in every legislature.

The UK’s first transgender judge has launched a case against the UK in the European court of human rights challenging the process that led to the supreme court’s ruling on biological sex.

Victoria McCloud says the UK's supreme court undermined her rights to a fair trial when it refused to hear her evidence.

Ultimately, this could lead to those harridans having their decision overturned

A cautionary tale of what can happen to who don't take the train like @Weehaj, @smolly, and @hapi

Hola chikis!
Hace tiempo que llevo dándole vueltas a una idea que me gustaría compartir y llevar acabo para apoyar a las personas trans al respecto de lo que está pasando con la transfobia y en particular con J. K. Rowling, quien está financiando este movimiento.

Llevo siendo fan de Harry Potter desde los 9-10 años y en todo este tiempo he comprado y me han regalado todo tipo de merch de la saga, asi que cuando me enteré de que JK estaba financiando proyectos transfobos y en contra del colectivo LGBTIQ+ me sentí fatal por haber permitido que todo ese dinero fuese destinado a algo de lo que estoy completamente en contra. Me reconozco como persona queer desde los 13 años asi que me dolió especialmente por eso, asi que decidí que no volvería a comprar más cosas de Harry Potter e intento que no me las regalen.

Entonces, cuando hace poco J. K. Rowling financió con dinero obtenido de Harry Potter una campaña transfoba que llevó a la retirada de derechos de personas trans de Reino Unido, se me ocurrió que algo que podía hacer para aportar mi pequeño grano de arena era donar dinero a asociaciones trans, ¿y que mejor manera de hacerlo que vendiendo las cosas de Harry Potter que ya no quiera y donar todo el dinero que obtenga? Sería justicia poética, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de fans son personas LGBTIQ+

Creo que es una manera de contrarrestar, al menos un poco, el daño que J. K. Rowling está haciendo con los beneficios de su obra. Harry Potter, por si mismo, no tiene la culpa de lo que está pasando, pero los beneficios que genera a su autora si.

Me gustaría organizar algo con esta idea, algo que pueda llegar a mas gente, algo colaborativo con asocis y que sirva para apoyar a la gente trans, que sepan que no están soles y que deje claro que les fans de Harry Potter no estamos conformes con esto

Nunca he hecho algo así, por lo que me vendria genial ayuda. Si te interesa participar o ayudar comenta y hablamos!

"Gone girl", but it's about someone becoming the girl they always were always meant to be.

TransActual's staff and directors were happy to be together in person this weekend talking about the past year-what went well and what we learned. We're also looking forward to the next 12 months- the work ahead as well as our expansion!

While 'minority' may often be an accurate word when describing the demographics harmed by systematic bigotry, it is often more meaningful to use language that highlights that people with social/political power are purposefully choosing to say/do things and set up systems that harm that demographic.

When we focus on groups being minorities many people (subconsciously or consciously) start to think of systematic bigotry as a natural status quo for any small group.

The two words I personally feel are the most productive and impactful to use are:

marginalized (defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as “to relegate to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or group”’)

and

disenfranchised (defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as “deprived of some right, privilege, or immunity”)

I say this all as a member of many demographics that are minorities, but more importantly that are being actively and purposefully marginalized and disenfranchised by people who want us to not have any social or political power.

The language we use has the power to highlight the reality of bigoted choices being made, or to inadvertently downplay it and allow people to just accept it as an unavoidable part of society.

We need to be purposeful about the words we choose when explaining harms down to our communities (the people with power trying to keep us down sure as hell are)!

‘Fantasy’ director Kukla details casting transgender lead role in Sarajevo title: “They can authentically convey it”

The struggle is real

RIP Terence Stamp.

A remarkable body of work, well beyond Superman.

He was the kind of actor that would make you sit through a movie just to see him in a 1-minute scene.
Yes, I'm thinking of "The Company of the Wolves" where he plays -uncredited- the Devil.
