Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

I got an A+ at my physio today. Not for having healed (still fucked) but for my “body awareness” 🥹
One day I should probably examine how happy I am when health professionals give me praise (hello my psych calling me “a delight”) but NOT TODAY

Your rights are being eroded so Israel can commit genocide without criticism - The Shot
Across the Western world, criticising Israel's genocide in Palestine is being stamped down. News laws and a culture of fear make it hard.

Have spent the past few weeks breaking down about the world and how to keep going. But after the most incredible trans book festival last weekend, and Australia wide rallies for trans rights, I’m feeling more hopeful, motivated and so connected to community ❤️
This is the feeling to focus on.

Is a single advocacy group going to talk about how this announcement right after the QLD healthcare news and the last two weeks of US policy is actually rather worrying??? Have we forgotten so soon the so-called “independent” Cass Review in the UK??
