This weekend, I found myself in a public restroom with a trans woman.
We both peed, no one died.
Crazy.

Two years ago today I came out as #trans to my wife. I wrote a little about that when I came out to everyone here on Mastodon some months later:

Since then it's been a struggle with divorce, moving, surgery and not being able to have surgery. And now my government is trying to erase me and my siblings.
My only regret? That I didn't transition sooner. 🏳️⚧️✊

Did you know? Michael Dillon was not only the first trans man to have phalloplasty, he was also the surgeon for one of Roberta Cowell’s transition related surgeries. The surgery he did on Roberta was not legal at the time, so Michael operated on her illegally.
Wisconsin’s Name-Change Law Raises Safety Risks for Transgender People
—
A 167-year-old statute requires trans people to publish their old and new names in a newspaper. Families and advocates worry the requirement now poses a risk as President Donald Trump has attacked transgender rights.

If you can respect and use a Pope's chosen name, you can respect and use a #trans or #nonbinary person's chosen name and pronouns.
What made you transition?
Well, someone told me to “grow a pair” and I mistakenly thought they were talking about breasts.

1.7 million women were impacted by domestic violence in 2023 (ONS, 2023)

#Trans women sharing our lavatories is not an issue. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat.

We in the #trans community don't have very many elders. We don't have many examples of trans people who have been transitioning for more than 30 or 40yrs. I can only think of three: actor Alexandra Billings and activist Mardi Pieronek are two who both have been transitioning for about 40+ yrs.
And if you wondering why we don't have very many trans folks who started transitioning in the 80s and earlier it's because the zeitgeist at that time wrecked our community. To have someone like Jazz Jennings or began social transition in single digits of age and then medically transition as a late teen???... we don't have people who did that who are now 50, 60 or 70 years old.
BUT... we have do have one of those three I know of here. I'm so thankful that we have one of our beautiful, amazing trans elders here on Mastodon giving voice to what we, who only recently began transitioning, can expect as we continue down this road. She often gives us a first hand account of our history, shows that we have to keep fighting and encourages us to know we can in fact have joy throughout our lives.
@oldladyplays we love you!!!

I’m starting to see a troubling trend: #democrat first time candidates going after the current administration but also failing to stand up for or even throw #trans people under the bus.
Say it with me.
#transpeople are not disposable.
We are not a #fringe issue
We’re fucking #humans.
