It was: 100,000 people! Absolutely amazing.

I'm constantly skirting the line between peak productivity* and burnout. It's difficult and exhausting.

I'm cutting back, leaning into joy, and spending more time at home.

*Not productivity as in work under capitalism (grim) but writing, creating, and connecting with people. And some work, sure.

The Importance of Accessibility at London Trans+ Pride I attended my first London Trans+ Pride with a friend, experiencing an accessible event that drew over 100,000 people. Highlights included an Accessible Bloc, interpreter support, and designated qu…

I attended my first London Trans+ Pride with a friend in the Accessible Bloc.

The march emphasised solidarity, joy, and *actual* inclusivity. I look forward to returning next year.

LONDON TRANS+ PRIDE

It's one of my favourite things today.

Picture shows the crowd at LT+P. One of the volunteers in a purple jacket is pulling a sack truck. Tied to the sack truck is a bright yellow portable ramp.

Some people won't meet me a quarter of the way to get my pronouns right, let alone half-way.

There are people who want to take more than that and do so whilst telling me they dont want to offend me, but also don't ask how I feel.

It's all just *sigh*

Omg I do not want to slice an omelette. That's not something a human should ever have to do.

🤣 make an omelette and throw it at a tree. Just take them away!

Close up of the Trans Aware Cancer Care flag. A community created trans flag, a collection of beautifully and carefully crafted squares.

I'm going to spend some time getting "Trans 101" resources on my website. So I can send the link to good intentioned curious people for them to explore in their own time.

Podcasts, books, good admins to follow, etc.

Any recommendations would be lovely. I've got some definites myself.

Ive packed up a box for a family friend and a box for my mother in law. And a box for my mother. Just thinking who else could take figs... 🤔

Eggstravaganza!!! Eggs for everyone who comes to the house.

Wow, that's a lot of white people in a room talking about trans issues...

I was not surprised by Stonewall as they have a deep-seated history of forsaking trans+ people.

The GALL to use the AIDS crisis as a way of saying we need to work with the government is beyond abhorrent.

Oh no! I am ADHD and have chronic pain, so Im wobbly, want to move quickly and hurty.

Hahahaha I just give it the ✋️ for two seconds and the it falls down one minute later.

[A light wood walking sticking is held up by a black metal device against a wood table]

Does anyone have recommendations for a walking stick stand?

I am fed up with trying to lean it up against a table or something else, and it falls down.

I'm looking online but wanted to hear recommendations from people who have used these things.

Title reads: Are you a neurodivergent person over 16? If so, you may want to consider taking part in an online survey on identifying support for neurodivergent young people in schools. Inside a speech bubble reads: We are interested in hearing the views of neurodivergent people in England aged 16+ There is a playful graphic of three young children in colourful clothing. One is holding a wand, and another is holding a balloon. If you are interested, please go to the survey at https://thegoo.se/survey or scan a QR code. This link redirects to Qualtrics, a reputable website for questionnaires and surveys. This survey is being run on behalf of work supporting the Neurodivergence Task and Finish Group. It has received ethical approval from University of Birmingham. There is a logo for University of Birmingham at the bottom of the page.

I am lucky to have been involved in three amazing trans conferences. There has been so much joy in being with queer others, I am thankful to @beyondreflectuk.bsky.social , @networkgender.bsky.social and @tvce.bsky.social for giving me a home for the day.
