Trans and human rights organisations call for EHRC to be downgraded as an internationally-accredited human rights body
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.

Under #Trump, Federal #Workplace Anti-Discrimination Agency Engaged in…Workplace #Discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (#EEOC) was established by the 1964 #CivilRights Act to enforce anti-discrimination laws in workplaces across the country. But under Trump, the federal agency tasked with helping workers who experienced hostile work environments became a hostile work environment itself, acc/to one judge’s recent ruling.

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

I've finished: Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders
I learned something about myself when reading Lessons in Magic and Disaster.
I can read about wars and horrible dystopias and keep my distance. But a book about an LGBTQ family that is suffering from bullying as well as having it's own internal tensions is triggering for me. In 2025 this hits to close to home.
I had to find less stressful moments during the week to open this novel. I'm glad I stuck with it to its magical ending.
I love novels where the main character is researching a subject that illuminates the narrative.

Trans People Shouldn’t Have to be Perfect to be Visible

Recently, New York Mayor Mamdani reference The Cercle Hermaphroditos in a speech in support of Pride, and New York’s contributions to LGBTQ history. So, here is a little on this relatively obscure group, for those who haven’t heard of them:
The Cercle Hermaphroditos, founded in 1895 in New York City, was the first known transgender advocacy group in the U.S. This was at a time when In a time when cross dressing was a punishable crime. Their home at Paresis Hall provided a safe place for androgynes, queens, fairies, Uranians, and hermaphrodites (the terms transfeminine people used for themselves in those days) to gather and socialize. Most of what is known today about the secret organization comes from the memoirs of Jennie June, a female impersonator and regular at Paresis Hall, a gay bar and brothel near Washington Square Park, where the Cercle met. According to June, members were Ultra-Androgyne, & would always clothe themselves as female in their daily lives if the law permitted it. She also described the Cercle Hermaphroditos as a mutual aid society, where people assigned male at birth who lived as women could come together for safety and support.
In her book “The Female-Impersonators,” June chronicled her time as a sex worker in 1890s Manhattan. She described how transfeminine people were subjected to blackmail, violence, police harassment, theft, murder, and suicide. Paresis Hall club maintained a room to store women’s clothes for members, so they could avoid police harassment and street violence on their way to meetings. Discussions at the hall included topics like how to show solidarity with transmasculine people, and the latest science on gender and transfemininity.
In 2019, Shualee Cook wrote a play called “Circle Hermaphroditos” about a transmasculine person who goes to Paresis Hall to find a lady he can legally marry, then play the roles expected of them in public while pursuing the life they want in private. But finding the proper match is more difficult than he expected, especially after the club is raided by police.

That's the question many have posed throughout the ages.
What if aliens are real? And what if they're neither male nor female but something else? A lot of humans are homophobic and transphobic. They're not going to like that. 👽
