Vanmorgen bij het krieken van de dag mijn stem uitgebracht op #VenusBijleveld, de trans non-binaire drag queen op de lijst van #BIJ1.
Ik heb op BIJ1 gestemd. Jij ook?

Aldus Transgendernetwerk:

(Tekst van die post heb ik in de alt tekst van het plaatje gezet voor de mensen die LinkedIn vermijden.)
Media nemen misinformatie over. Tijd om dit recht te zetten. Sinds de moord op Charlie Kirk in de VS gaat er steeds meer misinformatie over trans mensen rond. Deze geruchten blijken steeds niet te kloppen, maar worden wel herhaald door media, ook in Nederland. En te weinig achteraf gecorrigeerd. Dit baart ons grote zorgen. Media hebben een verantwoordelijkheid om niet alleen het nieuws te brengen, maar ook om dit te doen op een manier waardoor het geen schade brengt aan een grotere groep mensen. Eerst ging het gerucht rond dat de moordenaar van Kirk zelf transgender zou zijn. Daarna zou er ‘transgender ideologie’ zijn gegraveerd op zijn munitie. Allemaal niet waar. En overgenomen zonder enige context over de toenemende verdachtmakingen richting trans mensen. Het nieuwste gerucht is dat de verdachte een transgender huisgenoot zou hebben gehad. In de VS is er een grote campagne bezig waarin trans mensen verdacht worden gemaakt. Trans mensen worden steeds meer neergezet alsof zij gewelddadig en gevaarlijk zijn. En Amerikaanse politici en media doen hun best om trans mensen aan te wijzen als schuldige voor deze moord. Dit incident lijkt gebruikt te worden als een excuus om haat tegen trans mensen op te stoken. Met alle gevolgen van dien. Het is belangrijk dat Nederlandse media hier niet aan mee gaan doen, ook niet per ongeluk. Daarom roepen wij media op om kritisch naar hun oude berichtgeving te kijken. Hoe media over deze moord bericht, heeft namelijk direct invloed op hoe trans mensen worden gezien, en hoe over hen gesproken wordt. En zelfs op hun veiligheid. Ook in Nederland. Wij verzoeken daarom Nederlandse media om hun oude berichten over deze moord te rectificeren en te verbeteren. Wij gaan graag met media in gesprek over hoe zij ervoor kunnen zorgen dat ze in de toekomst niet (per ongeluk) meegaan in dit soort gevaarlijke misinformatie.

Also, they're the only bank who respect my non-binary gender identity - all other banks still force you to make a binary choice even if you've gone through the trouble of having your legal gender changed to "X".

And finally... Who can resist a nice earthy butterfly wing bank card like this?

Photo of my Triodos bank card. It looks like part of a blue-green butterfly wing. As I'm holding it up, you can also admire the beautiful long glittery purple nail on my left thumb.

Vandaag begonnen aan de overstap van Rabobank naar Triodos. Redenen?
1) De Rabobank investeert in de bio-industrie en in genocide, Triodos niet.
2) De Rabobank weigert mijn geslacht "X" te erkennen, Triodos doet dat wel (vzviw als enige bank in Nederland).
Tot nu toe gaat alles heel soepeltjes!

Unexected perk of my new #Kallax bookcase... #Blåhaj now joins me for online meetings!
Selfie shot from my home office webcam, online meeting POV. It shows me (a non-binary person with long grey hair and a full grey beard, black rimmed glasses, a septum piercing, purple nail polish, and bead bracelets in the colors of the non-binary flag) sitting in front of a Progress Pride flag v2 (including intersex chevron). In the background, the top corner of my new Kallax bookcase is visible, with Blåhaj perched on top.

I made another new #DnD character... Meet Terra Nephiline, an Earth Genasi Oath of the Ancients Paladin. I made her to be a backup character for a long running campaign where I now play a level 9 Drow/Tiefling Swashbuckler Rogue/Warlock so quite a different vibe and alignment!
Image generated in HeroForge. Full-body image of Terra walking. She's an Earth Genasi with polished granite skin with coppery veins, clad in full ornate copper plated armor and matching longsword and shield. She has green eyes and coppery lips. Her hair is in five thick battle braids. The center braid is dyed green, the two next to it are black, and the two outer braids are dyed red. She's also wearing an ornate coppery tiara. Terra mounted on her steed, a large elk with impressive antlers. The elk is in motion and Terra is crouched forward, sword aloft. (For description of Terra, see ALT text of first image). A close-up of Terra's face. You can clearly see her perfectly polished granite skin with coppery accents, her full coppery lips, her piercing green eyes, and her multi-colored braids. (For further description, see ALT text of the first image.)

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility everybody!

Let those of us who have the privilege be extra visible today in solidarity with our siblings who cannot afford to be visible (anymore).

Selfie of myself, wearing a black hoodie with a rainbow drip motif across the shoulders and sleeves and a large rainbow transgender symbol in the center. The hoodie is partly zipped open to reveal a pink t-shirt underneath, which pairs with my white block heel boots and light blue beret to form the colours of the trans pride flag. Under my black over-the-knee summer skirt, I'm also wearing tights in the colours of the trans pride flag.

She's got a point...

#TransRights #JurassicPark #Simpsons
Lisa Simpson holding a TED Talk like speech on a podium in front of an audience. The screen behind her shows the following text: The people who made Jurassic Park didn't think it was possible to transition from female to male and that's why they got eaten by dinosaurs. Moral of the story is, support trans rights or get eaten by dinosaurs.

I went for a little Sunday morning drive this morning, to get some more miles under my belt to familiarize myself with my new car. The weather was kinda crumby: overcast with light drizzle... But what better way to show off a Cloud Blue car than under a cloud blue sky?

Very handy indeed...
Three stills from what looks to be a 1950s television show. The first still shows Alfred Hitchcock, a white man in a suit sitting behind a desk, saying: "I've just come into possession of a cure for fascism." The second still zooms in on his right hand on the desk, holding a bullet, next to three other bullets that he has just set down. He says: "They come in capsule form. For best results, they must be taken internally." The third still is zoomed out again, showing that there are now five bullets on the desk, and the man is now showing us a revolver that he's holding up, while saying: "Here is the handy applicator."

Now this is some solid IT support...
Concrete support structure under a bridge consisting of an I pillar and a T pillar next to each other, so together they look like "IT".

How did you guess that #purple is my favourite colour?
Full body mirror selfie in an office lift. I'm a person with long grey wavy hair, a full grey beard and a septum piercing. I'm wearing a light purple beret, purple rimmed glasses, a comfy winter coat over a black hoodie with a big rainbow transgender symbol on the front, over a long three-tier purple skirt and white high-heeled winter boots.

If you like Bluesky... Don't forget to try out Mastodon! It's like Bluesky but open source, distributed, federated, not for profit!
Toot by Steven Sandoval: Bluesky has a chief executive while Mastodon is a herd of cats. I'm more of a cat person.
