Australia: Gender-diverse players removed from Victorian netball leagues
trans
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.

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.

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.
One woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK (Femicide Census, 2023)
1.7 million women were impacted by domestic violence in 2023 (ONS, 2023)
98% of perpetrators of sexual offences are men (Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre, 2023)
#Trans women sharing our lavatories is not an issue. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat.
