“A transgender Mississippi girl declined to participate in high school graduation on Saturday after a U.S. District Judge said the school district could bar her unless she dressed in clothes required for boys, a lawyer for the girl said.”

That judge can fuck *right off*.

@Ewan Hello fellow disabled queer ace. Friend request incoming!

@StillIRise1963 I don’t understand the hateful rhetoric against the #transgenderCommunity.

As I have never had the need, I don’t have concrete opinions on some transgender issues that come up such as treatments for youth. I happen to not be transgender; nor am I the parent of a transgender child; nor am I a health care provider. If someone is none of these things why would they feel qualified to have the best opinion?

Yes, we should be listening to people who are #transgender.

It takes incredible strength to leave the house when you risk being stared at, laughed at, or even threatened.

#Trans and #nonbinary people are some of the strongest members of society – and are at the forefront in the struggle for personal freedom and liberty.

Whilst trans people's lives are under threat our rights still stand for now, it is illegal to discriminate against trans people. TransActual will do everything we can to prevent a rollback on these rights.

The DEA has proposed changes for telemedicine prescribing that will affect trans patients seeking testosterone. This also affects those of us on testosterone, ADHD medication, and even those on medications for substance use disorder.

Okay, so this is my official coming out... I'm bigender!

Broadly speaking, bigender refers to when someone identifies as specifically two genders. This is seperate to being genderfluid.

I'm male, and greyrose gender. Greyrose gender is a xenogender, that comes under the orientation gender umbrella. I experience both genders simultaneously.

Greyrose is a sexual orientation which refers to when someone is both grey asexual, and grey aromantic. Greyrose gender is a gender informed by, and intertwined, with being greyrose.

I am first and foremost male, and view being greyrose gender as an addition on top of this. As I was assigned female at birth, I consider myself to be a trans man. Being a trans man is the basis of my identity, and a very core part of who I am. I've been out as a trans man for 6.5 years, so this is just more of an extension on top of that

I'm also exclusively attracted to men, and being a gay man is also very important to me.

I'm also not currently planning on taking a second name, so I'm still Lee, and I'm not settled on pronouns or a flag yet. But I'm leaning towards either he/him + they/them, OR he/him + xe/xem, and using specific pronouns with specific people/social circles.

So now with that explanation out the way - I'm a gay bigender man. Hello!

Meet Corinna. She poured her life savings into a bakery her neighbors loved. When she reached out to local #LGBTQ folks with a "very family friendly" #drag show, protests cost her everything .

Let's take a hard look at drag art and at anti-#gay/anti-#transgender hatred that's sweeping the nation and destroying lives like Corinna's. 👇

Just a reminder for those of you on tech.lgbt, your instance will be defederating from eightpoint.app in five days, March 25th. If you have friends here, you might want to move. Or even if you don't; tech runs vanilla Masto and the Glitch Social fork is a lot nicer. I'd suggest eldritch.cafe, tsukihi.me, or chaosfem.tw, they're all good instances running glitch-soc.

This is for #trans people only!

Do you think it is #transphobic to not want to date trans people?

There is an accompanying poll for non-trans people that this poll is in reply to.

Please #boost so that I can have a larger sample size than I might otherwise get.

Boost the other poll too if you can.
