🎬 RIP Terence Stamp.
A shame Stamp has been reduced in headlines to a villian in a SUPERMAN movie, when he's played dozens of roles over six-plus decades, including "Bernadette," a trans woman in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994).
Stamp narrates "Between a Frock & A Hard Place"—a brilliant doc about how the movie sparked a global discussion regarding gender and queer rights.

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)

Pour le #MardiConseil, partons sur un recueil auto-édité de nouvelles #SFFF et #LGBTQIA+ de @cmdeiana qui se lit vite et qui provoque un torrent d'émotions https://www.outrelivres.fr/affronter-les-loups/ #MastoLivre @mastolivres @bookstodon
Today marks 30 years since the premiere of 'Xena: Warrior Princess' back in 1995. A show that was never ashamed of its campiness, but at the same time managed to be groundbreaking on multiple levels. Setting new standards for female action heroines, featuring a main character that was messy and flawed, physically strong and athletic, who started as a villain seeking redemption.
Xena, despite its cheesiness and often ridiculous premise, succeeded in pushing the boundaries of queer representation, challenged stereotypes, defied several of the sexist tropes of '90s media, explored LGBTQIA+ themes, even themes of gender identity, and made a clear statement against the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS at the time.
It may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it's a beloved cult classic for good reason.

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!

After the recent attack at Barton Springs, I analyzed publicly available city hate incident data with the help of #Austin Free Press. We found that #LGBTQIA+ folks face more reported hate incidents than any other marginalized group.
We break down the data and report on what the city plans to do about it: https://austinfreepress.org/barton-stings/

20th Century Queer Women of Means
by Cathy Pegau
"Cathy Pegau, author of A Murderous Business: A Mystery, shares with The History Reader how some queer women of means in the United States were able to push boundaries more so than women in poor or middle, working-class families."
