NEW ON ASSIGNED: Reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle described an increase in "transgender and nonbinary" identification among students... but in reality, all the increase is in nonbinary identities.
What does this mean? How does it fit the moral panic over trans issues, which has been focused on trans women in sports and binary coded medical gender transitions? No one's asking, because it doesn't really fit the narrative. #trans #nonbinary #journalism

This is your regular reminder that
NONBINARY PEOPLE/CREATURES EXIST.
See this flag? --->
Yep, it's for nonbinary people/creatures. It has a lot of meaning for us. But you know what else is ours?
On THIS flag ---> 🏳️⚧️
nonbinary people/creatures are represented by the white stripe. That one is ours, too. We can fit under the trans umbrella. We don't have to fit a binary.
We are here, we are valid. Use our flags and represent us in your stories.
If you're curious about us, ask us! We are mysterious entities, but we don't have to be!!
Talk to us. Get to know us.
Please stop making us invisible.
One of the magical things about being trans and out it that, just by existing, you're going to help other people figure out how to embrace that part of themselves. We're everywhere! But... we're often pretty scared.
So, what do you do when someone asks you for help questioning their gender?
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, it's a guide on Being the Big Sib, so you can help them without hurting them, or yourself, in the process.
You’re not weak for getting upset over being misgendered.
You’re not overreacting to a slur.
You’re not too picky for wanting to dress differently.
You’re not unreasonable for wanting others to acknowledge the dangers you face.
You’re not “making everything about gender” for wanting to be taken seriously as a nonbinary person.
It is not too much to ask to be treated as a person with needs and desires unique to you.

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.

For so many of us, coming out isn't just about ourselves--it's about the people we love most, and especially our partners.
But we do come out to them, and then the person we love the most is faced with the reality that, "Oh, s#!t, my partner just told me they're trans." What the fuck do I do?!
They deserve support in those tender first moments, and this week, I'm going to try and give them a little with a jumbo edition of #StainedGlassWoman!

Last month, I mentioned that I wrote @wikipedia articles for five of the #genderqueer and #nonbinary comedians appearing on the #Netflix special, "Hannah Gadsby’s Gender Agenda". In today’s story on @medium, I (finally) write about that special, as well as the #TransDayofVisibility (coming up this Sunday, March 31).
Here’s a friends link to bypass the paywall (click the link, not the image preview):

It's that time again. There was no active UK parliament petition about #nonbinary identities being recognised in law, so I made one.

Deadline: 11th October 2024
One of the scariest parts of coming out is coming out at work. Unlike your family--blood or chosen--work is just a bunch of people who get thrown together, mishmash, and have to make things work out.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, it's a guide to give to your coworkers when they get that wide-eyed look and think "Oh, s#!t, my coworker just told me they're trans." At least, it should keep people from asking what's in your goddamned pants.

Discrimination against nonbinary people is real, and a new study from a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto is shining a light on one way it can happen.
Using a well-regarded method, researchers sent out job applications with she/her, they/them, or no pronoun attached. #news #trans #nonbinary #transgender #science

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.
That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource:

I have never before in my life read or felt seen as deeply by a feminism like that from A Short History of Trans Misogyny, and this week on #StainedGlassWoman, we're diving deep into mujerísima to understand exactly why Jules Gill-Peterson's work truly is A Love Letter To The Dolls unlike anything I've ever encountered before.

Wishing our agender siblings a happy Agender Pride Day!
So, my spouse sent me a lengthy article about detransitioning earlier today, and it:
1. Irritated me.
2. Made me want to get some stats of my own.
So, the question is: "As a trans person, what are your opinions about detransitioning (DT)?"
Please select any and all options that apply.
Please only answer if consider yourself to be trans, nonbinary, or formerly trans or nonbinary.
Please boost for reach. I want like every trans person on Mastodon in this poll.
Thank you! 🩵 🩷

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.

Breaking news: We've taken the next step to challenge the ban on puberty blockers
We have asked for an urgent hearing that will seek to quash the ban. It is clear that this ban is having a devastating - and harmful - impact on young trans people and we do not believe that waiting is an option.
You can support the case by donating to cover the legal costs: https://tinyurl.com/blocker-legal-fund

Artist: Bridge City Sinners (Libby Lux, she/they)
Why? Mix country and metal vocals, add in bluegrass and folk instrumentation, and run wild with goth, emo, and psychobilly themes. This is the unique magic that is Bridge City Sinners.
Where to start?
One of my favorite songs and just a gorgeous music video is "Devil Like You." It tells a campfire scary story like a folk song, while also bringing in themes of the dangers of heteronormativity and more.
https://youtu.be/ZDgp1Z3EPVU?si=Oh_XGCznCYip5ZRM
Their latest album centers themes of living with mental illness, decentering neurotypical norms. Many of these songs highlight the possibilities of this distinct musical creativity too. "Doubt" speaks to my disordered heart while being a tour of the breadth of their talent.
https://youtu.be/3cu1dDFjH0M?si=T51cTG3Gsy4Xf5gK
"Crazy" is another one of these, it's both fun and affirms "maybe it's okay" we'll never be okay.

Sometimes you might feel like you can't live your life until you finally become the person you need to be. You'll just wait until after your name change, transition, find your style, get the right job, etc., etc.
But, you will never really "be done" becoming yourself because we are always growing and changing like all things.
You can still live your life now. You will reach all those dreams one day.
