Aus Philipp wird Constanze - sonst ändert sich nix! #Transidentität verstehen #Transsexualität war lange Zeit ein Tabuthema in #Kirche und #Gesellschaft. Transsexuelle mussten ihre Identität verbergen, wurden angefeindet und staatlich diskriminiert. Inzwischen ist die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz für Transpersonen gestiegen. Viele gehen selbstbewusst mit ihrer sexuellen Identität um, aber es bleiben viele Fragen offen. Drei #Transfrauen berichten von ihren Erfahrungen: Wie sie ihre Identität entdeckten, welche Hindernisse ihnen im Weg standen, wie sie ihre Identität mit ihrem Glauben vereinbaren und wie sie heute selbstbestimmt leben.

“Trans people aren’t a threat to anyone; hate born by ignorance is. All trans (including non binary) people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who we are and where we are at with our medical and social transition. Look beyond the hype and fear-mongering in the press. Become the representation you want to see yourself.” Fox Fisher

"Google has removed two websites providing “DIY” hormone replacement therapy used in gender-affirming care from search results at the request of the UK government, according to legal letters viewed by 404 Media."

“Maintain yourself, find your community who loves you for you and who wants to celebrate you. Being yourself as you navigate the world in a way that’s safe and authentic and good to you is going to help in the long run. Know that you’re loved and supported, that time goes on and more people will see us for who we are as we continue to advocate for ourselves.” Aaron Philip
