"Trans people come in all shapes and sizes. The ones I have met are nice and just want to get on with their lives. It is wearing to have to justify your existence every time someone wants to call you out on something someone has read or heard." Louise
Hey folx, can I ask a favour? For a while now I've been volunteering, and more recently working, for @EDEN_F_P and since 2013 they have done soo much incredible work for and with the #LGBTQ+ community, including E.D.E.N. Digital, and Transforming Cinema - film festival championing transgender, gender nonconforming, non-binary, and genderqueer voices, as well as loads more important work using the powerful medium of film. Will you welcome them into the Fediverse, and maybe give them a follow? Thanks! #TransRights@FediFollows

there's hundreds of things #Biden does wrong, some of those things especially glaring, like the #USA's support for #Israel while it commits #genocide on #Gaza
but focusing on 1 issue to the exclusion of the other 100s of issues is simply a failure in tactics

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.

“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
