Si vous êtes un·e très bon·ne allié·e des personnes transgenres et que vous avez un peu de moyens, c'est le moment de montrer que ce n'est pas de l'autodiagnostic et rien d'autre :
Merci d'aider notre sœur Lexie (@aggressively_trans sur Instagram) qui se fait déprogrammer de ses interventions rémunérées, seule ressource à sa disposition pour vivre, pendant que dans le même temps, deux effroyables connasses bien connues sortent en grande pompe une brique de merde cumulant toutes les lettres de "LGBTQIphobie" et se pavanent sur des affiches publicitaires et devant tous les micros qui leur sont tendus.
Vous pouvez lui envoyer de l'argent sur son PayPal, acheter son livre ("Une histoire de genres" aux éditions Marabout) ou mieux encore, chaque fois qu'on vous parlera de personnes trans, même hors micro, Indignez-vous de ce qu'on ne nous donne pratiquement pas de temps de parole alors qu'on discute également au sénat français la possibilité d'interdire toute prise en charge, médicale ou non, des jeunes transgenres avant leur majorité (fixée à 25 ans)

Do you know what U = U means? It's short for undetectable is untransmittable. When a person living with HIV is on effective treatment, the levels of HIV in their blood will be so low as to be undetectable. If someone's HIV is undetectable, they can't pass it on (transmit) to others when having sex.
“It takes a lot of thinking and courage to come out and define your gender as something else, especially outside of the binary. Therefore, trans people are generally pretty certain and we really don’t need anyone questioning us.” Fi
"The first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before I get to sleep is dysphoria. It also appears throughout the day, whenever I go to the toilet. Luckily applying testosterone is part of my morning routine." Eddie
"Through my own identity as a trans man, and one of a race other than white, I really wanted to share my own experiences to show that everyone's on a different path. It's not an easy journey and I don't think it's ever really over. It can be emotionally draining, but it can also be really rewarding." Leo Sheng
With a General Election looming, it's important to make sure you've got an approved Voter ID or make sure you're registered for a postal/proxy vote. Make sure you're prepared to have your voice heard.

“Transgender youth who were able to use their chosen names in multiple contexts reported fewer depressive symptoms and less suicidal ideation and behaviour. For transgender youth who choose a name different from the name given at birth, use of their chosen name in multiple contexts appears to affirm their gender identity and lower mental health risks known to be high in this group.” Russell et al, Journal of Adolescent Health, 2018
When I sit and stare at something (I'm doing a lot of this the last few days) the material e.g. concrete, appears to undulate gently like the ocean. It's like I'm on a low dose of mushrooms all the time. Anyone know what this is about?
