BTW on this last day of #PrideMonth, remember that…
- some men have ovaries and uteruses, and even menstruate
- some women have neither uteruses nor ovaries, or have never menstruated
you’re welcome ☺ 🌈 ✌🏽

Drew some poly stuff for #PrideMonth Neglected to post it earlier.
Cute throuple art melts my heart, so I need to draw more of it.
On this day, two years ago, I first publicly came out as a woman.
The world has gotten worse since then in scarily tangible ways. I am likely to leave my home country. I lost my job and a fair few people I thought were friends.
But for the first time in 30 years I got to really be me. Nothing has even been more important to me, and it is why I will never give up and encourage you to do the same.
Live for yourself, not for fear.

like the ones we had
that sultry afternoon
sitting on the step

It has never been more important to show your support for the queer community.
If you are queer yourself,
it's a personal choice, and you should never feel pressured to come out publicly, especially if it isn't safe for you.
But if you're an ally,
consider how important it is to show your support by publicly wearing rainbow or otherwise supportive accessories. Use your privilege for good 
Times are hard for the community,
and hate has been on the rise in many countries. Showing your support as an ally, and showing queer people can be their true self with you, is a meaningful way to make a difference, both at the individual and societal levels.
Show your support.
The queer community needs you too 
Last year for Pride I wrote a series
of articles at the intersection of privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences 🔒
Data privacy is important for everyone. But for some marginalized populations, data privacy is indispensable for social connection, access to information, and physical safety.
Here are 3 articles published with Privacy Guides last year discussing this topic from different angles:
The Importance of Data Privacy For The Queer Community
Queer Dating Apps: Beware Who You Trust With Your Intimate Data
Happy first day of Pride Month from Issa, who loves without limits. #PrideMonth #pride2026 #yeg #Edmonton #pride #DogsOfMastodon #cdnpoli
For #PrideMonth, I would like for you to have my latest album for free. The Tower of Babel Falls is an anti-fascist #indie #folk album against christian nationalism.
This song in particular is my little anthem for self-determination. I spent about 15 years in the church as a deeply closeted queer, autistic kid (and later adult), feeling so often invisible, misunderstood, fearful of my conditional belonging.
Pride is for us. We don't have to prove ourselves to anyone.

Especially now. More than ever. This is the way.
Just a note to everyone - Pride Month is no excuse to use generative AI to make "happy PRIDE" posts, merch, or any image or text related to it.
Generative AI is funded by facists who hate LGBTQAI+ and who fund laws against us. It is the tool of the enemy we all should resist together - not generate useless slop that muddies the message with AI vomit.
Using it shows no care, no love, and no solidarity.

🌈 Love is Love. It's Pride Month 🌈
This Pride Month, we celebrate a simple but powerful truth: love is love, love is real, and love belongs to everyone.
Pride is a time to honor the courage, resilience, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people everywhere. It’s also a reminder that equal rights, dignity, and opportunity should never depend on who you are or who you love.
A more inclusive world benefits all of us. When every person can live authentically, free from discrimination and fear, our communities become stronger, kinder, and more vibrant.
This month, let’s celebrate love in all its forms, stand up for fairness and respect, and continue working toward a future where everyone is treated equally under the law and in everyday life.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Love is love. Pride is here. Equal rights are for everyone.

New Blog: Profound Effect of Small Kindnesses
I read a beautiful post by @oddtail about cis allyship for trans women that got me thinking.
Obviously, the experiences of a trans woman and a late-diagnosed autistic cis woman are completely separate things. It resonated with me deeply: with the joy of women being able to live as themselves, and with my relationship with sisterhood.
