Largest survey of trans people ever: Only 0.36% of trans people detransition because they decided it was the wrong thing for them.
Let that sink in.

"I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad."
Happy Birthday to bisexual icon, entertainer, and antifascist resistance member Josephine Baker.

by me:
Data privacy is important for everyone.
But for some marginalized groups,
data privacy is indispensable for social connection, access to information, and physical safety.
For Pride month this year,
we are happy to present you the first article of our series discussing topics at the intersection of data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences.
Stay safe 🔒

And Happy Pride!

The French government issued a report on transgender people in sports and here's some of their conclusions:
-Trans women who transitioned before puberty don't have a physical advantage over cis-women athletes;
-Before puberty there's no difference between boys and girls so let them play;
-If it's just for fun, not competition, who cares?
-A "Transgender" category's a smokescreen for discrimination.

I've finished: A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys
A Half-Built Garden is the most Fediversial novel I've read.
The anarchists have won. The corporations and nation states have been sidelined. Most of the world is under the control of egalitarian communities that use an alternative network to achieve consensus and work to rehabilitate the climate change ravaged earth.
This is very much a slice of life novel in the vain of Becky Chambers, centered around a communal lgbtqia+ household. But as opposed to most slice of life novels there is a major crisis, and it falls upon this community to save the day.
Aliens have made first contact and they insist that the only way for technological species to survive is to leave their biospheres behind and build Dyson Swarms.
As their way of life comes under threat from without and within, Will the dandelion network survive? Will the power of decisions through discussion and consensus overcome manipulation and coercion.
A special aspect of the aliens is the importance they place on the place of children in society.
PS:
I didn't expect this novel to be so Jewish, what a delight.

We’re still awful as a society for LGBTQ+ people. I will keep doing what I can at work and in my personal life so my queer friends can just live a peaceful life.
We’re still far from that.

June 14th
Flag Day and Narcissist’s Military Parade Day is also the birthday of my late friend Bebe Scarpinato - LGBTQ activist, teacher, performer, and sassy bitch extraordinaire. She loved Mardi Gras and I’m sure she would’ve thought a parade in her honor was long overdue.
I know what I’ll be celebrating on that day.

A reminder to all the TERFs and transphobic queers out there that the first Pride was a riot, literally. And it was led by transwomen and drag queens, including Marsha P. Johnson, as well as lesbians, who refused to submit to police bodily searches during a raid on the Stonewall Inn night club, and who fought back during the cops' attempts to mass arrest patrons and community members.

Pride Month starts today and why it matters to me.
I didn't come out to a soul until I was 51. Not because I didn't know but because it was a part of me I squashed down. I came out as Queer because the label gave me room to breathe after years of telling myself I was bi but never fully embracing it. I'm honestly still unsure whether I was protecting myself because it felt "safer" to believe a lie or if there was a kernel of truth in it. But since coming out, the "gay part" of me has been the loudest by leaps and bounds.
The real me finally getting sunlight or some kind of Queer Rumspringa after years of repression? Possibly both. What I do know is this: I would have figured it out a lot sooner if I’d lived in a world that didn't fear difference.
I'm not great at writing these sorts of personal posts, but I’ve felt especially introspective after just losing a childhood friend. The second in the past year. One was gay, but still neither knew this part of me until the very end. And that’s not enough.
So here’s to Pride, whether you came out at 14 or 94. Love to all of you, and a knowing wink to the ones who didn’t take the direct road to their truth. Not late. Not broken. Not alone.
