We don't understand her madness, but we will stand up against her hate, however many times she wants to come to town.

We'll keep you up to date when we get more information through, but if you are able to keep the weekend free to join us, that would be wonderful. Thanks all.

It will be very interesting! I know which businesses I'll be supporting and not supporting once June comes around and they have to make a decision.

This is not a post to critisise trans allies. I am, however, increasingly shocked at the lack of outcry from most cisgender people to the ever rising anti-trans hate. Trans people in the US and UK are being legislated out of existence.

What will it take?

Please share.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

C!s people don't get to determine what is and isn't transphobic. Trans people do.

I as a trans person say misgendering and dead naming (using a trans persons pre-transition name) is transphobic.

Trans people. Repost if you agree ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ

Australian FAMILY COURT rejects the CASS report.

Justice Tree pointed to the Cass Review's โ€œdeficiencies, blind spots and limitationsโ€ and to โ€œan overt political imperativeโ€ behind it.

He gave it โ€œlittle weightโ€ in his decision.

Let it be pointless. It may ultimately one day serve a purpose, but it doesn't right now and no one will ever care and that's fine. This is how you start writing.

Thanks รine, great to be here and yes, an Irish queer group here would be super. Must check and see if there is one already!

Now that I'm retired and working on a queer science fiction novel I'm writing at home a lot with music on my earphones but I get distracted by our cat, my wife and guilt over housework not being done! So what's your ideal writing spot, best time, ambience etc etc

Just wondering what sort of location people write in - home, coffeeshop, office, anywhere at all? I wrote a lot of my memoir, My Name is Philippa, in a Dublin City Centre coffeeshop most Sunday mornings, the staff knew me, I enjoyed the buzz which helped me concentrate.

Good to be here, haven't used X/Twitter for ages and looking for recommendations of groups/topics to follow here. I'm interested in science fiction, lgbtq+, cycling, science, music, much more
