If you’re reading this and you’re scared, that’s understandable. And I can’t tell you that you’ll be able to pass as cis. But just to give you a single data point, I didn’t come out at work until I was 34. You can be alright, and you do have a future. People know what trans people are. It’s fine.

A collage of photos showing enamel pins in lots of different pride colours and nature inspired shapes, including trees, flowers, ferns, a tree ID guide, pronouns, and the gamechanger loop-de-loop that says "we've been here the whole time". In the middle of the collage, text reads "fundraising for my transition at canopy robin dot etsy dot com"

Temporarily increasing my dispatch times on canopyrobin.etsy.com because life is too stressful right now and this is the easiest change I can make immediately. Please keep buying and sharing them though because transition costs are also stress... they might just take a couple extra days to arrive

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

This event will delve into the application of existing frameworks and approaches, examine the threats in this area, and identify opportunities for conservation policy and management related to HWC/HWCx. Outputs will include a multi-author publication and additional outputs determined by attendees.

With every fibre of my being, let me say this in a loud, clear, booming voice: this should have happened when Virginia Giuffre was alive to see it.

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

You realise it is three years to the day that Brianna Ghey was murdered.

An innocent young girl killed because of transphobia and hate. What's changed in the three years since? Transphobes have upped their attacks. The government has increased discrimination.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Really happy to have found @junoryleejournalism.com’s work. She’s a brilliant journalist and we need to be supporting a) the free press, b) our comrades in the States and c) trans women who make the world go round!!!!

I urge you to fill in this consultation if you can - with this very helpful support from Amnesty International - although AND because ! it is heart-breaking that this country has sunk so low that Amnesty suggest in a number of cases to provide no answer as the terms of the question are so evil

Fascist governments are undermining abortion access, trans health care, gay relationships, etc under the guise of β€œfighting gender ideology.” So, anyone who believes in women’s rights and gay rights should be showing solidarity to oppose their politics, not colluding with it to attack trans people.

What is having trans history…. I am trans I am historically trans. Or are they trying to catch out the small percentage who might have detransitioned for a multitude of reasons?
