I grew-up as a Christian Pastor’s Kid which surely was a struggle for me. Today I got this text from my dad about him performing his first ever same-sex marriage in his career at the age of 67 years old.
He’s been a minister in the United Methodist Church for over 30 years and I can assure you, this was one of the highlights of his entire 30+ years ministering.
He said, “It was one of the most meaningful things I’ve done.”

Australia: Gender-diverse players removed from Victorian netball leagues
Good morning, fedi! I wrote an open letter yesterday to my children, in case I get killed by fascists for existing while #trans before I have a chance to tell them about myself and the world (obviously, I’ve started that, but they are young for all the details). It’s admittedly long, and the fact that I wrote it feels pretty dark, but choosing to express myself to my children feels like an act of resistance, and a chance for cis folks to see that I, a trans mom, feel deep love and care for my children, just like all moms do.

I can't believe I'm only just now hearing about this. #MarcyRheintgen, a young transwoman from Illinois came to #Florida and, in a planned act of #CivilDisobedience, flouted the #trans bathroom ban by entering a women's bathroom inside the State Capitol and simply washing her hands. She was arrested on the spot and has been charged with 11 months in a men's prison.

Two stories regarding the transgender community today:
In the U.K., the Supreme Court rules that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. @BBCNews has a live blog: https://flip.it/a-6ZWn
In the U.S., the Trump administration is suing the state of Maine in standoff over transgender athletes in women's sports. @abc has the latest: https://flip.it/d1EDwq
TransActual statement on the Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act:
Trans communities are devastated by today’s ruling. Instead of bringing clarity, the Supreme Court has made a ruling which appears to contain a number of contradictions. Irrespective of the small print, the intent seems clear: to exclude trans people wholesale from participating in UK society.

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:
https://lisamelton.net/2023/06/22/my-coming-out-party/
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.
