“Sometimes being trans feels like a part-time job,” she thought as she lay on the table for her 12th hour of electrolysis this week.

What made you transition?
Well, someone told me to “grow a pair” and I mistakenly thought they were talking about breasts.
The UK Data Bill has gone back to Parliament over an amendment for public bodies to record people's “sex at birth”.
This would forcibly out trans people, exposing them to discrimination in data-driven decisions.
It's data protection law without the protection.

Hello #Mastodon! I'm a Mixed-race American #linguistics professor in #Edinburgh #Scotland. I post about #language & #sociolinguistics , #parenting & #Gaelic Medium Education, & #adoptee rights. And I boost #Black #BIPOC #disabled #crip #trans content more than I post. Also a major #Trekkie !
Happy to join in the #TwitterMigration !!
People ask me what I would advise them to do in preparation for their own funeral. I tend to say they can leave their loved ones to decide the service if they write a #will. And if you are #LGBTQ+ write a will & do it now. If you are #Queer or #trans write your will. If you are feeling you are too #young or not needing to think about it yet *write a will*. Look into the eyes of the people you love, write it for them. If we don’t write a will, #biology will win over #choice. Please #WriteAWill

I’m currently couch surfing and looking for a new apartment to move into. I just got a job, but my funds are down to about 0, and it will be weeks before I get paid, so I could really use a little help so that I can put a deposit and first month’s rent in on a place.
Things have been extremely stressful lately, not knowing where I’m going to be sleeping the next night or when I’ll be able to shower next, so it would be amazing to have my own place again.
Thanks for considering.

So, The Cass Review has been peer reviewed and, unsurprisingly, it’s found it as fatally flawed.

All dolled up to work New Year's Eve. I got many compliments.
2024 was my first calendar year as a #trans woman. Significant amounts of the transition started in the year. Though coming out socially occurred the previous year, the next steps of #HRT and the (partial) legal recognition highlight 2024.
UK residents, please sign here if you can. This is not a petition; this is a weekly letter to each MP, with the growing list of signatures attached

Open letter to #Pride events: Stand with #trans people, no pride for anti-trans parties https://transsafety.network/posts/open-letter-pride-events-stand-with-trans-people-no-pride-for-anti-trans-parties/
If you have been stopped, challenged or harassed when using a single-sex space (such as toilets or changing rooms) since the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act. We need to hear from you.
Maybe your employer has changed their policy on which loo you can use. Perhaps you've been asked to leave the changing rooms at the gym.
Let us know (and let us know if you'd like putting in touch with someone who can provide legal advice) at: https://tinyurl.com/ReportALoo25

You might have seen a post being shared around saying Canada has opened up its suicide hotline to American citizens with Trump threatening a shutdown of ours in the US.
The number it links to is the Trans Helpline. This is likely a right wing attempt to try to flood and overwhelm the hotline and hurt trans people.
Please be careful and check on this before you share them. And if you see an account for a Jeras Ikehorn which seems to be bridged here from Bluesky, know this is the second time in several weeks they have blatantly shared misinformation that harms trans people.

The #BBC is labeling #trans women and trans men as "(biological man/biological woman)" in their articles.
This is clear #transphobia and discriminatory against #intersex people.
Biological sex is a myth. Editors should not change their style guide on a whim based on a single (flawed) court ruling related to a specific piece of legislation.
