The float I was in on Saturday night at #MardiGras: Parents for Trans Youth Equity (P-TYE). On the passenger side of the truck in neon lights it said #Project491. Details can be found here: auspath.org.au/project-491/ Horrific #QldPol decision. Reverse the harmful decision NOW!

Queer Judgments brings together scholars, lawyers, and activists to re-imagine and re-write legal judgments that relate to LGBTQ+ folk. It’s been a labour of love and community. We hope our book energises pursuits for justice! Download a copy here: counterpress.org.uk/publications... #AcademicSky

I feel kind of obliged to make the comment that Australia will break ties with the US under absolutely no circumstances. There is nothing the Trump clownshow could do that would make anyone in the major parties condemn them. Nothing.

💜 "To move forward, we must understand that the most fundamental component of the anti-trans movement is not feminism. Rather, it is a fear of change and self-determination - reproducing a core tenant of patriarchy itself." - Alice Bethell www.wearequeeraf.com/self-determi...

Question. Given US prison labour, and given the plan to relax child labour laws in the US, does any of this run afoul of Australian (and presumably other) legislation on businesses preventing modern slavery in their supply chains?

I will be forever fucking furious about the way Munroe Bergdorf was treated. People say we need smart, calm, intelligent spokespeople and we had one in her. She was monstered and blacklisted and it's like everybody just forgot?

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points. They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make. I have offered to go on their show to talk. I’m offering again now. Talk to a freaking trans person.

Actually, is this NRx theory just projection? Thinking of EU media. Movies, series, news. Plus their curriculums & internet literacy classes for all! I wonder if the influence of liberalism might be the other way around? The U.S. needs the EU’s influence. Explains NRx attempts to demonise EU.

Please help me understand why NRx/MAGA (fascists using Curtis Yarvin’s blog theories) genuinely believe that if the U.S. withdraws support from Europe, then the majority of the people of the EU will suddenly share their toxic ideologies, and dismiss the EU’s otherwise long-held humanitarian values?

Also, only watched Invisible Boys in the first place because I kept seeing @joshacton.bsky.social banging on about how brilliant the book was and that he was looking forward to the series. So thanks, Josh! X

The bravery of these families in speaking up in the current U.S environment is stunning and awe inspiring. Sending them all the luck, love and best wishes that they succeed, as they represent the thousands who can’t speak up. #TransYouth

Watched #InvisibleBoys today. If Invisible Boys wasn’t so bloody brilliant, I would not recommend. I bawled my eyes out, laughed, had my heart in my throat, and felt their anxiety and joy. All the way through. It broke my heart and left me feeling hopeful. Phenomenal story telling.

Most dystopian fiction has to be whitewashed to appeal to white people for it to sell. That’s why Katniss Everdeen isnt Black in the movies. And why racism isnt focused on in the movies like it is in the books. Same for Handmaids Tale.

Our takatāpui and rainbow whānau deserve to be treated with respect & dignity. It’s sad groups fuelled by hate are targeting our rainbow community and sadder to see “leaders” preying on our rangatahi to spill hate. Their ideology & aggressive ways are harmful and must be stopped! You are not alone 🌈

This is a great reflective and historic piece written by an old school friend of mine (CW: police violence, rape). He reflects on his time in inner west Sydney in the 90s, and now, 33 years later, standing up for the rights of trans youth in Qld. tjseator311987.substack.com/p/we-came-ru...

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...
