Gods this hits hard. It's older but I just saw it for the first time. This was me in 1979 when I first realized people would hate me for wanting to be a girl.

PREVIEW: “Becky Bullard: I'm Becky Bullard (she/her), the founder and CEO of Democrasexy, where we make it feel good to learn about power structures, and where best to apply pressure to try and change them, and also create joyful community, especially for women and queer folks in #Texas who want things to be different. My whole philosophy is that the type of change that we need to make here in Texas is gonna take a really long time. And so in order for those of us who've been doing the work to not burn out, and in order to attract new people, to have the volume of folks that we need to be creating change, it's got to feel good.”

I interviewed the founder of #Austin's "Democrasexy" about how we can keep political action playful, joyful, even sexy.

I’ll say it again. Tim Cook is a trash human endorsing the worst of capitalism.

https://www.404media.co/a-us-made-iphone-is-pure-fantasy/

He’s a gay man selling out the LGBTQ community by shaking hands with a fascist who is rapidly eradicating any and all legislation to respect and protect gay folks.

Why? SOLELY because $54 billion in cash reserves (16th in the world) isn’t enough for Apple:

Aus einem Discord für nichtbinäre Menschen, zitiert mit Erlaubnis weil es so herzerwärmend ist:

----- zitat
Ich habe meinen Kolleg *innen angeboten, dass sie kommen dürfen, wenn sie Fragen zur Namensänderung haben. Da waren ein paar sehr interessante (und mental anstrengende) Gespräche dabei.

Heute kam jemand rein, unterhielt sich kurz mit mir und sagte im rausgehen „das macht mich richtig froh, wenn Menschen solche Dinge für sich tun können, das macht mein Leben besser!“ und das war so echt und so herzlich, dass es mich immer noch begeistert.

House Republicans advance two anti-trans education bills

One of the things about traveling as a trans woman is the process of re-experiencing how unnoticeable one is IRL, and yet in a new environment. A caveat here , I'm really not after attention yet nor do I seek to 'pass' (whatever that means to each individual, it's subjective)

So now I'm sitting outside in the Cork sun today but a few final pics from back in the Canary Islands

Cw: selfies and vacation pics

#introduction

This is the account for http://www.queerthemarly.org - we're a #queer organisation looking to buy the premises of a beloved #Brighton #UK pub - historically one of Brighton's few #dyke bars, and also one of the few explicitly #trans friendly pubs in the area. At a time when #transphobia is on the rise we're hoping to make a sanctuary for queers and allies. Follow for more info, and our DMs are open (especially for any Brighton locals who want to get involved in the campaign).

Boosts appreciated!

Also my other account is a lot less #activist-y so I'd appreciate being pointed towards accounts and hashtags to follow.

So not to be a bummer, but as I see "Breaking" news like this getting bunches of boosts on my timeline... Where's the fuckin source?

This account is one of those "resist" scam accounts that just says shit with nothing to back it up. Because so far, there has been "support shown" for such a thing, no actual news of any bill I could find anywhere.

An hour ago I was at Kaiser Permanente Berkeley, unlocking my bike and preparing to leave after picking up a prescription when two white men hurried out of the building towards me holding up and aiming their phones at me. Because who every sees a 68-year-old Black woman who owns and rides a RadPower Bike, so I must be stealing it.

I have this fantasy about living somewhere that I'm not a suspect, but unfortunately being trans means having other Black people treat me just like white people do.
