Cis female. Australia. Proud mother of a beautiful trans daughter. Trying to take the path of love and kindness where I can, and sometimes even succeeding. Here to learn from others, so not worried about being followed 😍

As a biologist it infuriates me when they use biology as an excuse for their transphobia.

"Liberal campaign workers report that former Liberal voters have expressed reluctance to return to the fold because of the 'Trumpification' of the party.

This supports Labor research that people alarmed by Trump are having second thoughts about voting for Dutton."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

A landmark Family Court decision supporting gender affirming care for a young trans 🇦🇺’s

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

He gave it “little weight” in his decision.

Out of the last 7,200 Olympic medals awarded since 2003 a total of zero have been won by a trans woman athlete.

The best a trans woman has placed was an archery competitor & she came 37th. The only other one came absolutely dead last.

Trans women athletes are disadvantaged in elite female sports

As we're watching in real time the continued decline of democracy in the US - here's your regular reminder that there's nothing we can do about that - but there's an enormous amount we can do to make sure it doesn't happen to us.

I want to be clear: gender affirming care remains available in Massachusetts for all who need it. My office and I will continue to enforce our state laws to ensure families can access it without fear of discrimination.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

No Australians aren’t trying to solve it. We are trying to melt it.

Australia is the 2nd largest fossil fuel exporter and 5th largest producer.

If we want to stop Antarctic glaciers collapsing it’s pretty f***ng simple.

Stop new fossil fuel projects.
