At the intersection of anti-trans stigma and policy, violence flourishes. But trans and HIV-positive communities are mobilized and thriving.

Ever since my coming out my respect, for fellow #transwomen, as well as for #dragqueens and male #crossdressers, grew by quite a lot. All because of one thing: #Tucking. I don't know how you girls and guys do it, but damn, I have a ton of respect because that shit is fucking uncomfortable. Impossibly so, for me.

It is heart warming to know that those who once held views based on a lack of information; can change to a more open minded outlook.

Diana Nyad has drastically changed her perspective on the issue regarding #TransWomen in sports.

Support trans women. That includes the woman from the hood. The loud one.The sexworker. The dropout. The one whose hair aint laid and outfit ain't always on point. The one with clear mental health issues. The one with nowhere to go. Not just the models, writers, and public figures.

My daughter went out with some trans women tonight and came home completely broken down. They decided to jump all over her for not getting surgery or starting hormones yet. Told her she wasn’t really trans. Then gave her estrogen patches and told her to try them. Said if they made her sick then it was God telling her she wasn’t trans. WTF??? Is this how the community treats one of their own? #transgender #transwomen #lgbt #wtf

A person's sense of their #gender doesn't determine their #sexualorientation. There can be #heterosexual, #bisexual, and #lesbian, #TransWomen, just as there can be heterosexual #gay or bisexual #TransMen, and so on. Each person's #experience is unique, with both #GenderIdentity and sexual orientation being aspects of the complex mosaic that makes up each individual.

Not sure whether to #write a new one featuring the #vampire Lilith or to work her into a current #wip about witches, or just to go with the current story as is.

The past two years I recruited women who wanted to be the Lilith character, which was a lot of fun. So if you are a woman (#transwomen included), and wish to be a vampire in a short story, let me know!

Trans rights activist seeks representation in Censor Board after watching Vishal’s Mark Antony

Outraged by the trans slurs used in the recent Tamil film Mark Antony, Trans rights activist and theatre artist Living Smile Vidya demanded Queer/Trans representation in the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

https://www.thenewsminute.com/tamil-nadu/trans-rights-activist-seeks-representation-in-censor-board-after-watching-vishals-mark-antony

#TamilNadu #cinema #queer #transwomen #homophobia #AdhikRavichandran #vishal #TamilCinema #kollywood #LGBTQIA #LGBT #CBFC #CensorBoard #india

#Documentary #sources share stories from #LGBTQ #survivors in #WWII #Germany, like #HeinzHeger, #TheMenWithThePinkTriangle (London: GMP, 1986), originally #DieMännermitdemRosaWinkle (Hamburg, 1972).

The 2 images show excerpts detailing the #Nazi #treatment of #TransWomen, #TransMen, #Lesbians, #GayMen, and #Crossdressers. The second image offers a #timeline leading to the #LGBTQ #inclusion in the #Nazi #FinalSolution.

The Nazis made no distinction between trans women, gay men and cross-dressers: all were made to wear the pink triangle and sent to camps like Dachau, Auschwitz and Sachsenhausen, while trans men, classed as lesbians, were marked by the same black "antisocial" triangle as communists and intellectuals. People with pink triangles were singled out for extreme brutality by both the Nazis and other inmates. They were segregated into "queer blocks" and given the deadliest work assignments. For those with pink or black triangles, death arrived not by extermination in gas chambers but by so-called indirect mass annihilation, a combination of "terror work," induced starvation and pitiless punishment. Their lives were ended by a few weeks of deliberately prolonged torture, justified by the Nazis' decision that they were not "real women" or "real men." 32

- 32 Heinz Heger, The Men With The Pink Triangle (London: GMP, 1986). First published as Die Männer mit dem Rosa Winkle (Hamburg: Merlin-Verlag, 1972)
When Hitler seized power, all active gay organizations in Germany were declared illegal. Kurt Hiller, whom Magnus Hirschfeld had named as the head of his Scientific-Humanitarian Committee, was sent to the concentration camp in Oranienburg, from which he was released nine months later for unknown reasons. Until 1933, Roehm's brownshirts attacked gay bars throughout the country; many were closed down and the rest forced to operate illegally. At a meeting of municipal administration officials in Hamburg on November 13, 1933, for instance, the chief of police was ordered to pay particular attention to "transvestites, and to send them to concentration camps." In 1934, the Gestapo sent a letter ordering every police station in the country to draw up a list of "everyone who is homosexually active in any way.” In response, the Berlin police managed to draw up a list of approximately 30,000 homosexuals. In May 1935, the SS magazine Das Schwarze Korps demanded the death sentence for gays.

Bengaluru police arrest two trans women under controversial Anti-beggary Act

These arrests are emblematic of a larger issue: the arbitrary enforcement of a law that was ostensibly designed to address begging but has instead become a tool to penalise individuals facing socio-economic hardships.

A screenshot of a tweet posted by Charlie Quinn @pupcake_ninja on 8 August 2020 that reads "I made a little comic showing how @autogynamelia and I wound up coming out to each other. (At the time, she knew about my bisexuality, but not the nonbinary part.)" The tweet contains a wordless six-panel comic depicting Charlie and Amelia as Kirbies. Amelia is grey and sad as she comes out to Charlie as trans, but when Charlie responds by both reminding Amelia that Charlie is bisexual and by coming out as non-binary, Amelia becomes happy and turns pink. The comic ends with the two of them hugging and smiling.

I don't top at all. And topping is such a shaky subject with trans women for obvious reasons. This toot says exactly everything, and this is coming from someone who's an overthinker and who has thought about this subject so much that nothing comes out when I go to write about it or explain. Topping doesn't make me feel feminine. Would that change with trust and validation? Absolutely, I could see that happening easily. #trans #transgender #transwoman #transwomen

honestly if you're surprised, you're not paying attention
over and over I've said, what better demonstrates the blatant #sexism and #misogyny of how a #transfolk or #nonbinary person gains or loses the right to go without a shirt in public and on #socialMedia? how is it not #transphobic AF to tell a transman "we don't care what you identify as- until you've had #topSurgery, #thepatriarchy has decided that you still look too female, and therefore will still be subjected to #censorship that all #AFAB and all #cisWomen face"? how is it not transphobic to say to a transwoman, "good thing you are flat chested with broad shoulders, that means you still get to enjoy the freedom to go shirtless in public as all AMAB and #CISmen!"? and that's not even getting into the nonsense of assigning gender, and therefore restricting rights, of those who identify as #genderless or #genderfluid!
WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE NOT OUTRAGED BY THIS?? how are the vast majority of #Americans, even supposed #liberals, #leftists and #progressives, just so unthinkingly accepting of this continued #injustice?

I don’t want to hear how #transwomen don’t have periods. We have them. Mine came last night about 11:30 with horrible cramps and nausea. I still have these symptoms along with my hips wanting to move into a different position. Lacking a uterus just means we don’t bleed, but we have all the other associated signs and symptoms. The soft tissue cramping sucks the most by far.

I present to you the RULES of surviving as a trans woman in dyke space. Keep in mind that this is my experience in certain locales and spaces and DO NOT by any means translate over to other places. Like, none of this applies to Ireland at all. So, a murder of dykes (the collective term for a group of dykes) has decided that you're gonna be their new best pal. Excellent. BUT, Darling, do you know the rules? Let me tell you that. 1. There can be only one. Want to invite your trans woman best pal out? No, sorry, *You're* the good one. She?

Shoulder to cry on. You better be available. Else you're a selfish man. 4. OK, this one is important. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EVER EXRPESS INTEREST IN ANYONE AND CERTAINLY NOT ANYONE IN THE GROUP. Ever. EVER. Like, OK, celebs, sure, the cute dyke at the bar? No. NO. 5. If you BREAK the above, you are a rapist, a harasser, a sex pest, and you will get dropped and everyone will be told how much of an awful person you are because you...asked someone out on a date and she said no. 6. You want to be mostly stealth? HAHAHA NO Love. You are their "We're down with the tran" pal. They will CONSTANTLY out you.
A screenshot of a Twitter thread posted by @dirtycitybird on 6 November 2021 that reads as follows: 7. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CALL THEM OUT ON THEIR TRANSPHOBIA. EVER. Now. This is a really small (these days, not so much 20 years ago) subset of the community. That shit fucked me and so many of my contemporaries up. Luckily, it's a dying out thing, BUT, as you've seen, it still fucking happens. I should also mention because I don't want people to get any ideas. I've had a pretty good time dating post-transition. Much better than before to be honest. Like, it's not like this with everyone is what I'm trying to say. Just certain subgroups.

This past summer, I tweeted a lot about the need for #trans people to make a long term plan for rising facism targeting us. #TransWomen #TransMen #transmasc #nonbinary

I figured I should revisit some of those thoughts, and invite others to think about it again and talk about where we are.

I continue to think that all LGBTQ+ people, and trans people in particular, need to move past panic and think practically about what they'll do if things get worse.

The Atlantic's new article on detransition is a lot like other articles on #detransition: Poorly done.

The authors use a Christian nationalist who detransitioned as their primary anecdote, but don't include anything about his Christian conversion or far right beliefs.

Then there's the misleading picture of the medical evidence. I had to re-read FOUR WHOLE STUDIES this morning to shed light on how they went wrong. #trans #journalism #nonbinary #TransMen #TransWomen
