A story of a #trans #activist's escape from #Crimea
#LiliaKhvylka was under house arrest with an ankle bracelet. From Crimea she navigated her way through #Russia and #Belarus
The entire #LGBT community is an "extremist organization" in Russia and in the occupied areas you can be disappeared
She participated in the 2014 #Ukraine #Euromaidan protests
She is being tried in abstentia and faces 15 years in Russian prison
Dear #trans people, #LGBT #Queer #LGBTQIA and allies from the Fediverse, if you have a #Wikipedia account (note: with at least 50 edits in French articles before January 29, sorry), you may help the French Wikipedia to become a better place to read quality articles involving trans people.
Under the pressure of trans and allied contributors (Edit: and NOT at the initiative of T&A contributors), the French Wikipedia moderators opened a survey on "how to handle #deadname mentions in our articles".
The survey proposes 6 questions and multiple possibilities, including harmful and insensitive ones.
At the moment, the answer ratio is not in favour of trans people. Most of the time, people insist on mentioning the deadnames like it's a data like any other, including when unnecessary.
This must change, and here's why I'm making a call to you.
(Edited) The rules to vote are restricted to editors of French contents who were already active before February, so it's actually not possible to vote on behalf of French trans people with no account, BUT you still may vote: they won't be taken into account but they will remain visible on the page.
Action and reskeets may save young trans people from shitty behaviours from careless cis people.
Thank you by advance 🙏🏼
And sorry for the multiple editions
FINAL EDIT I'm probably going to be suspended soon for my outrageous behaviour consisting of : having posted this very toot, and being pissed by the passive-agressive tone and the general stubbornness of a bunch of wiseguys who consider that it's not okay to call for collaboration to the rules of a collaborative online encyclopedia, because, woo, BIAS. So long and thanks for all the fish.
Next episode : My indefinite suspension (in French starting from there)
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
This week we’re discussing something every trans person has to deal with, all these little things that add up in ways cis people likely don’t even realize.
It’s death by a thousand cuts with TRANS MICROAGGRESSIONS.
Let's talk about what they are and why they're awful, including examples of the most common ones!

Friends, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of needing to ask for financial help. #MutualAid #LGBT
I've worked for a DEI organzation for 10 yrs. Because of the political climate in the US, all our income has dried up. None of our responses to RFPs have been awarded, no new RFPs in months. I've been without income for 3 months.
Rent is due today; I now owe 3 mo of rent to the tune of $3060 USD. Eviction proceedings are imminent.

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!
https://survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
While many reputable companies have pulled out of Russia long ago, American language learning company Duolingo has continued its business in Russia, reveals TASS.
In April, the company was told to censor its app, so Russians can no longer see ANY reference to the existence of #LGBT persons, and instead of ending its business in Russia, the company chose to help the dystopian regime and comply, writes Latvian newsmedia Meduza.

写得非常浅显的科普，主要笔墨集中在分享和分析案例，讨论基本也是从案例衍生出来，但讲得确实很浅，属于是单反对这个问题有过比较系统性的思考，就会觉得她讨论的内容你心里已经有了答案……然而浅并不算是缺点，甚至反而是优点，这本算是比较早讨论asexual和ace community的作品了，对于读者而言，尤其是大多数也许并没接触、思考过asexual这个概念的allo群体而言，由浅入深的“科普”非常必要，浅并不影响其作为无性恋入门读物的价值，比较喜欢的是有关无性恋+残疾/孤独症患者群体的讨论，以及由无性恋的性关系引发到全社会对性同意定义的讨论
LGBT History lesson!
There have been a lot of events peppered throughout history that were frog leaps toward #LGBT rights. These led up to the full on push in the 1970s that brought gay rights into the U.S. national conversation. These radical acts began the decades long push toward LGBT equality and social change.
The big one was the Stonewall Uprising but did you know there was a riot that happened almost three years prior to #Stonewall ?... the Riot at Compton's Cafeteria. Stonewall is often thought of as the event that started the modern gay rights movement but Compton's was equally important.
The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria happened in August of 1966 in San Fran's Tenderloin District. And why did this happen?... because #ACAB Drag queens and trans women had finally had enough.
The first #Pride was a riot!

For the first time in Japan, a local government recognized same-sex spouses on a residence certificate as a common-law marriage. Now, it looks like other governments may follow suit in a move that could pressure Japan's central government to act on marriage equality.

I love the vibes of these posters for a couple reasons:
1) We should support each other's rights
2) I think it's important to find happiness in other people's happiness. I think it aligns your mental state in a good direction (for yourself and others) and I enjoy people talking about their happiness and excitement so much
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
Let’s dive into a complicated topic that a lot of trans people struggle with, myself included. We’re talking:
SEXUALITY IS NOT GENDER.
Also - bows Bows BOWS! (they’re related, trust me)
读过 Death's Country 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
看起来只是普普通通的YA fantasy，其实意外好看，首先作者的文笔已经超过了90%的YA作者，诗化的语言很优美灵动，充满力量，其次我就喜欢拉丁裔LGBT这种zzzq叠buff的操作，更不要说主角还是polyamorous。难得的是这本不仅表现了一个polyamorous relationship，还表现了身处其中的人如何被monogamy的人误解、质疑甚至压迫，知道三个人的关系后Liora母亲的反应和Andres父母的反应就是典型例证，最后Liora出车祸昏迷然后Renee和Andres去冥府救她的故事虽然是基于希腊神话Orpheus和Eurydice的故事，但又非常反套路，Andres去冥府的一路都在自责，认为是自己和Death的交易导致Liora的灵魂不得不进入冥府，还一直不敢告诉Renee，然而让他真的告诉Renee，Renee一句“她的生命是她自己的，不由其他任何人掌管”，轻描淡写地扭转了古典神话的这一惯用套路。之后Liora的全部行动也正证实了这一点——自己决定交出记忆，自己决定留在冥府，甚至“出事故”这件事本身很可能也是她自己决定的，而最终也是被爱人说服，自己决定离开冥府，而非普遍意义上的“被拯救”，真是十分罕见的、强悍又富有能动性的Eurydice。当然大多数情节本身有点predictable，非常符合YA特点，但这本书的表现已经足够拉好感了。

Will Ferrell goes on a road trip with long-time friend Harper Steele, former SNL head writer and newly out trans woman.
As a kid, I could never have imagined trans people just being out in movies and TV. What I would give to see all these trans people when I was 10.
I'm not crying, you're crying 😭

My new debit card is here! My deadname is 100% out of my wallet!
MOST of my mail is now sent to Me as well too.
So much work to get here but feels so much better.
What made you transition?
Well, someone told me to “grow a pair” and I mistakenly thought they were talking about breasts.
Dear queer Usonians,
Celebrate this year’s pride like it was the last one. I want to be wrong about this one.
