🏳️‍⚧️ More than 186 million Europeans live in countries with self-ID laws. In places like Denmark (and Argentina!), trans self-determination has been in place for over ten years.

I’m thrilled to share the second short documentary I’ve had the honor to host and co-produce for Context.

Watch the full doc here:

Berlin friends! My partner and I are looking for a 2/3-bedroom flat and as you know it isn’t easy right now, so we’d really appreciate any leads.

Thank you 🫶

Just saw this on my way back home from the doctor.

For those we don’t know this spot, it’s one of Berlin’s memorials to the LGBTQ+ victims of the Nazis.

He was carrying a rainbow flag that read: “Love is love”.
