The Defense Department has no exact figure on the number of transgender troops serving because not every transgender person is in the same state of medical transition and not every transgender person identifies as such in military paperwork.

Hi guys!
I’m new to mastodon and the fediverse. I’m still trying to figure things out but so far this seems pretty cool!
Here is a list of my interests:
#kpop
#kdrama
#anime
#manga
#genshinimpact
#books
#nonfiction
I am also a part of the #lgbtq community and came here because of #tiktok
I hope to find lots of friends so if you follow me i’ll follow you back!
People often ask me why I’m outspoken about trans rights. I’m not trans so “why do you care?”
The Ogre nailed it. I care because what the government is doing to trans people is wrong. I care because we are being conditioned to accept atrocities. Conditioned to allow our fellow human being to be treated in discriminatory, dangerous and appalling ways. Conditioned to look away from the suffering of others.
It seems plainly obvious to me. They’re creating a villain where one doesn’t exist. Whipping people into a frenzy over perceived dangers like trans women in bathrooms and sports… instead of dealing with the very real dangers that are facing us (pandemics, climate change, the fall of democracy and capitalism).
They’re starting with trans people because they’re an easy mark. They’re a small percentage of the population, many people don’t think they know any trans people and therefore they don’t see it as a “big issue”.
Stripping people of their dignity and rights will always be a big issue. Just because it’s not happening to a group you care about doesn’t mean you shouldn’t speak out against it.
The trans community need allies. They need people to see how wrong this is and say “enough is enough”. They are not a threat and they don’t deserve to be treated as one.
Lastly… this type of hateful rhetoric doesn’t stop with one group of people.
It doesn’t stop at all.
They will keep coming for your rights. The rights of LGBTQ+ communities. The rights of immigrants and marginalized individuals. The rights of the unhoused. The rights of women.
They will keep coming.
If you wait to speak up, before you know it, it’ll be too late.
Speak up now. Ask the tough questions. Get to know a trans person. Support them. We are stronger together.

What Trump’s executive order on gender means for passports

“We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting #LGBTQ+ citizens in the #EU”. A European Citizen Initiative (ECI) is not a petition, it is a legally binding instrument.

There are 6 weeks left to reach the thresholds for this one. Berlin, Hamburg, where are you??
Using this #SilentSunday post to encourage people to look up the closest #LGBTQ #nonprofit to you and donate and/or volunteer. Even the smallest donation amount helps when combined with everyone else’s. Governments and corporations are becoming more conservative, but nonprofit #communityorganizations are still free to honor their missions to support vulnerable populations.
The man in the White House announced Monday that God had placed him there, though he avoided placing his hand on the bible as he swore an oath.
He went to church Tuesday, something he almost never does, and heard Episcopal bishop Mariann Budde preach — to him.
He did not like what the bishop said to him in the name of the God he claims he represents. To wit:

Because gender-affirming care saves lives and *everyone* should be able to make their own choices about their bodies.

Geraldine Roman is a politician in the Philippines. On trans rights she says:
"Recognizing our rights and dignity will in no way diminish yours. We are not asking for special privileges or extra rights. We simply ask for equality. With inclusiveness and diversity, our nation has so much to gain."

Want some good news? Of course you do!
“Just days after marriage equality became the law in Thailand, the country’s national health ministry added hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to the free health services available to Thai citizens.”
“Deputy government spokesperson Anukool Pruksanusak said the allocation was in direct support of the government’s policy on marriage equality, with an emphasis on both physical and mental health for sexually diverse individuals.”

This thread. It’s heartbreaking but important.
It is our moral obligation to end this tyranny for our trans friends and youth. Do not give in, do not give up, do not let them win. Fight this with every ounce of energy you have.
I fucking hate fascists so much. Fuck every fascist everywhere. ✊🏻

50/50/1 is a decentralized national protest/movement fighting for our democracy, our constitutional rights, and to oppose the alt-right fascism that has been growing in this country. It is completely grassroots, organized by volunteers and participants around the country.
On February 5th & 17th, Salt Lake City, UT was one of at least 50 simultaneous protests across the country that resulted in no violent incidents and organized to oppose the authoritarian actions of Donald Trump. On March 4th, we will be Marching Forth Against Tyranny to defend our freedom, individuality, and our constitutional republic.
Please join us at the South Steps of the Utah State Capitol Building to get involved! Please leave weapons at home, as this is a peaceful protest through a peace-seeking movement. Feel free to bring the whole family to make their voice rightfully heard. Parking will be potentially limited, so please carpool or walk where possible.
