How's your week going?

Nikki Haley trolls Trump with homoerotic Valetine’s Day cards to his favorite dictators https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/02/nikki-haley-trolls-trump-with-homoerotic-valetines-day-cards-to-his-favorite-dictators/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #lgbtq #lgbt
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!

Hi Fedi Family,
In 2008 Californians voted for Prop8 that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman in the California constitution. While this was defeated in courts this draconian Prop8 language is still in the California constitution. Justice tHomas and the right wing SCOTUS is openly hinting at destroying precedent and trampling rights. If they overturned Obergefell - the Prop8 language in the California Constitution will act as a “trigger law”, raining havoc on queer families like mine across California.
Please spread the word to vote “YES” to repeal Prop8 (2008) from the California constitution in Nov 2024. Talk to your friends, family and colleagues about it.
Boosts appreciated.

"why does that character have to be queer?"
why not?
"why does that character have to be trans?"
why not?
"why does that character have to be a poc?"
why not?
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
This week we’re talking about a horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad concept that plagues the trans community, and you might be surprised to learn where it comes from:
TRANSMEDICALISM, and WPATH version 1.
buckle up, this is gonna be a rough ride.

Tillyvision chugs along with THE INTENTIONAL (!) TRANS ALLEGORY OF BARBIE (the movie), PART 4!
You’re going to get two really important visual clues as to what Barbie’s going through, more Matrix connections, and problems abound!
Time to go All The Way Up!
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
We’ve got the Tillyvision sign! And that means it’s time for THE INTENTIONAL (!) TRANS ALLEGORY OF #BARBIE (the movie), PART 7!
To heck with the false shell! But then… what comes next?
Let's talk about looking into ourselves, connecting with the truth in our subconscious, and trying to figure out where we go from here!
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.
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
It’s time for this installment of Tillyvision to come to a close, as we wrap up:
THE INTENTIONAL (!) TRANS ALLEGORY OF #BARBIE (the movie), PART 8!
Self-actualization is at hand! Things are gonna get emo.
It's time to transition.

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.
Erasing a culture… for rubles.
"#Colorado #Republican Party issues call to burn all #Pride flags"
Is there anyone out there who thinks the #GOP means anything anymore except "I'm a bigoted sadistic asshole and it's my entire identity"?
OK Another edit. Lots of people on Facebook are posting memorials to Lynn Conway, reporting that she has died.
https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=lynn%20conway
I'm not seeing any official reports yet, though. Apparently Dallas Denny posted a rough draft of an obituary earlier today, but then took it down. I'm not sure what's going on anymore.
[edit] Apparently it has now been confirmed by the University of Michigan.

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
One day before parliament was dissolved on 30th May, the UK government used an obscure emergency process to make possession of puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal, and punishable by up to two years in prison. [1] There was no parliamentary debate, no vote, and no public consultation.
The timing was deliberate. As parliament was dissolved a day later, we have no MPs, and therefore no way to challenge this decision as citizens.
The Good Law Project is challenging it in court, and crowdfunding £75,000 to do so. They have about £2,000 so far.

The #SF #LGBT Center tapped me to participate in the Giants' #Pride game base art campaign. I had to come up with an #art piece that combined Pride, #SanFrancisco, the Giants, and the 20th anniversary of the #WinterofLove, when California began to recognize #samesexmarriage. If my idea was selected, I would paint it on a base and it would be displayed at the Pride Game on June 15th! And it got chosen! Just finished #painting the base today, can't wait to see it at the game!
The current UK government remains evil until its last day: They deliberately used the day before parliament was dissolved for making puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal. No MPs means no parliamentarian way to challenge this decision.
The Good Law Project is crowdfunding to challenge this in court, please give here if you can: https://goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/trans-pubertyblockers-cf/

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.

Welcome to #TransTuesday!
On March 23, 2024, my wife and I renewed our vows and got married all over again, so we could have one with the real me.
It didn’t go to plan, it wasn’t perfect, and it was the best day of my entire life. Let’s dive into:
A TRANS RE-WEDDING!
There's photos, and music, and dancing, and a world of difference when you're the real you!
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)
