We don't understand her madness, but we will stand up against her hate, however many times she wants to come to town.

We'll keep you up to date when we get more information through, but if you are able to keep the weekend free to join us, that would be wonderful. Thanks all.

Please share! 🥰🏳️‍⚧️

It will be very interesting! I know which businesses I'll be supporting and not supporting once June comes around and they have to make a decision.
Can’t wait to see which corporations are full of Pride flags this year and which aren’t.

Which businesses will have an ounce of integrity and which will cave at the first sign of discomfort?

Which will have one face for the US and another for Europe?

Signed this important initiative
I have signed this #EU initiative to propose a ban on #LGBTQ+ conversion "therapy" which every EU citizen above the age of 16 should be able to sign.

#Ireland needs maybe 5,000 more signatures to reach the threshold #Spéirghorm #Spéirgorm

eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public . Sign it and share it!
European Citizens' Initiative
Give your support !

This is not a post to critisise trans allies. I am, however, increasingly shocked at the lack of outcry from most cisgender people to the ever rising anti-trans hate. Trans people in the US and UK are being legislated out of existence.

What will it take?

Please share.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

C!s people don't get to determine what is and isn't transphobic. Trans people do.

I as a trans person say misgendering and dead naming (using a trans persons pre-transition name) is transphobic.

Trans people. Repost if you agree 🏳️‍⚧️

Australian FAMILY COURT rejects the CASS report.

Justice Tree pointed to the Cass Review's “deficiencies, blind spots and limitations” and to “an overt political imperative” behind it.

He gave it “little weight” in his decision.

Let it be pointless. It may ultimately one day serve a purpose, but it doesn't right now and no one will ever care and that's fine. This is how you start writing.

Just wondering what sort of location people write in - home, coffeeshop, office, anywhere at all? I wrote a lot of my memoir, My Name is Philippa, in a Dublin City Centre coffeeshop most Sunday mornings, the staff knew me, I enjoyed the buzz which helped me concentrate.
