Gov. Gavin #Newsom of #California vetoed a bill on Fri that would instruct judges presiding over #custody battles in the state to take into consideration a parent’s support for a child’s #GenderIdentity when making custody & visitation decisions.
«The new laws include #legislation that focuses on support for #LGBTQplus youth. One law sets timelines for required cultural competency training for public school teachers & staff, while another creates an advisory task force to determine the needs of LGBTQ+ students & help advance supportive initiatives. A third requires families to show that they can & are willing to meet the needs of a child in #FosterCare regardless of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity. »

Gender identity is a topic that is coming up in the news often – and maybe at dinner tables as well.
Here’s what experts and one parent of a trans child say you should know about handling such a sensitive subject.

DeSantis's Campaign Slogan Amounts to 'LGBTQ+ People Are the Enemy'
DeSantis has rapidly built up a robust anti-#LGBTQ+ record, including signing a bathroom segregation bill into law.
#DeSantis also restricted access to #trans health care, threatened business licenses for venues allowing minors into drag performances, and enacted an infamous “don’t say gay” law that forbids classroom instruction about #GenderIdentity and sexual orientation.

I made a lot of progress with my depression these past weeks and am finally motivated to read and write again.
I've started writing an #AutoBiography a long time ago, to cope with what I've been through, but also to release it one day.
I'd love to let other people contribute chapters to my book. Essays on various topics that come up in my story.
So now I'm asking you all, if there is anyone who could think of writing such an essay for me, because you are affected by the topic yourself, or are an expert in the field.
Or if you know someone, who would be perfect for that topic.
Here are a few of the topics:
#depression
#GenderIdentity
#asexuality
#SurveillanceCapitalism
#Fediverse ( @ueckueck, you said you might write that one, still interested?)
#SocialPhobia
#WTFromance
#SelfHarm
#suicidality
There are other topics as well, but I already have people in mind who I'll directly ask to write essays about them; especially topics around #ClimateJustice.
The essays should be at least 2-5 pages long and provide a general gist about the topic, but ideally also contain something personal, like what the topic means to you.
Written in #English or #German.
Preliminary deadline is summer '24, but a lot can change until then and if you need longer, don't worry.
Please :boost: #boost. Thanks. ❤️

Evidence Undermines ‘Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria’ Claims
Well it seems Germany is on the right path to expanding its rights for the #TransCommunity. They will be reducing restrictions for trans individuals when changing their name and gender. They will be able to do this without jumping through the current red tape and such. A step in the right direction I would say, all countries should follow suit.
Important info for any UK trans folk - NGRDS (ie the GIC in Newcastle) has quietly announced they're not currently taking referrals anymore. They're saying it's temporary, but have not given any time frame as to how long this will last, or how they're gonna resolve the situation.
Here's the link to their website where they've announced this:

I've also screenshotted the announcement and provided alt text with the text directly copied as well.

If you currently identify as a cis man or cis woman, but:
• You have recurring thoughts of being a different gender.
• You would be a different gender, if given the choice.
• You wouldn't be fussed if you magically woke up one day as a different gender.
... you might be interested to know that this isn't a common thing for cis folks to do 😅

Berkeley philosopher Judith Butler’s theory of gender for the 21st century
Recent public conversations reveal that thoughts about gender identity are complex and far-ranging. Judith Butler’s theory suggests that gender is a socially constructed reality that is fluid and evolving. They want people to view gender not as fixed but with a growth mindset aimed at learning and understanding.

Gender Incongruence: "Before 2013, the situation was even worse because people were then diagnosed with a clearly defined mental illness know as *gender identity disorder*. Yes indeed to qualify for hormone therapy you had to be certified by a psychiatrist as having a mental health problem. But how can affirming your own personal identity be a disease? Who is really suffering the dysphoria? Is it the client or is it the mental health professional, desperately trying to defend society's need to minimize the extent of gender diversity?"

A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.
The #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."
The ruling is a #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.
The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.
The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.

Last year at my community's #Pride festival, I only showed up for a few minutes before I went home. My #QueerImposterSyndrome got the better of me, I was the only one wearing a mask, and I just felt like I didn't belong.
This year at my community's #PrideMonth festival, I walked around masked with fellow #queer, #CovidCautious friends, reconnected with some folks I used to know through #EconomicJustice organizing, and listened to music by some awesome, local #LGBTQ singer-songwriters.
For anyone who's #Questioning their #SexualOrientation, #Sexuality, or #GenderIdentity, or wondering if it's too late to come out or if #ComingOutAsAnAdult is worth it, it can be really, really hard, and I want to acknowledge that.

Several complaints determined by the BSA NZ referred to #transphobic #stereotypes. Most commonly a variation of the trope that #GenderIdentity is a mechanism to exploit women. The BSA notes the evidential foundation for such views is ‘strongly disputed’ and reliance on such tropes is ‘capable of embedding long-standing prejudice’.
Complaints along these lines are unlikely to find favour with the BSA and may result in the BSA declining to determine the complaint.

@christineburns ⬆️ 🆙 A great contextualisation of 'gender' as part of culture wars ie. a deflection from the future, and from the many *real* issues facing societies, such as climate change, but many others too ofc
53:38 - "We look, we look away. We know, we fail to know. We live in the anxiety produced by knowing that we are not knowing what we know"
Definitely worth taking time out to listen ... well imo Judith Butler always is

As parents, it is essential to educate ourselves about the experiences of #transgender, #nonbinary, and #genderdiverse individuals.
Actively listening to our children about their #genderidentity is crucial, as they may express it as early as preschool age. Their words and actions should be respected and acknowledged, providing a safe and validating space for them to explore and express their identity.
(11/20) #Transgender
Instead of attempting to change their child's #genderidentity through #denial, #punishment, or #conversiontherapy, parents should focus on creating a supportive environment that embraces and affirms their child's true identity.
(5/20) #Transgender
#GenderDysphoria refers to the distress experienced when a child's assigned birth gender does not align with their deeply felt #genderidentity. It is vital for parents to understand that being transgender, nonbinary, or gender-diverse is not a phase or a choice; it is an authentic aspect of their child's being.
(4/20) #Transgender
#GenderIdentity is the deeply held sense of one's gender, which extends beyond the traditional male, female, or binary framework. It encompasses a broad spectrum of identities, reflecting the diverse range of human experiences. Children whose sense of gender aligns with their assigned sex at birth are known as cisgender, while #transgender refers to individuals whose gender identity differs from their assigned sex.

Hey folks 👋
If your gender doesn't match the one you were arbitrarily assigned at birth & you want to transition, you can just transition :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:
If you're waiting on permission from someone else to start, then please take this as formal permission.
Life's too short.
It's your body & your life.
You deserve to be happy.
You deserve to be the real you.

A #lawsuit filed in #federalcourt Tuesday calls a transgender woman's #pretrialdetention in #Maryland #cruelandunusual. Despite her #femininity and #genderidentity as a #woman, Ms. Gilliam was forced to #live and #shower with #male #inmates at the Baltimore jail, the law firm said. "During this time, she was #harassed by both #officers and #inmates and ultimately #sexuallyassaulted by another #inmate," and the jail did nothing when she reported the rape.

#Florida's governor has moved to expand a controversial law barring public schools from teaching about #SexualEducation and #GenderIdentity.
Governor #RonDeSantis is seeking to extend it to all grades, through to the final year of high school.
Teachers who violate the law - denounced by critics as "Don't Say Gay" - face being suspended or losing their teaching licenses.
The Board of Education is expected to vote on the proposed rule next month.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65054809
"A proposed State Board of Education rule, scheduled for a vote next month, says teachers in grades 4 to 12 “shall not intentionally provide classroom instruction” on either topic, expanding the prohibition in last year’s law that critics dubbed “don’t say gay.” Teachers who violate the rule could face suspension or revocation of their teaching licenses."

On International Women's Day, and speaking as a trans woman, it seems appropriate not to RT, but to highlight a few (amongst others) who have influenced me *personally* ...
1. Judith Butler - so influential, imho a must read on gender identity, whatever one's views of her work :heart_nb: 💜💖
2. Niki Marie Eckardt / Dawn (previously on the birdsite) - modelling that transition at 50+ is not just possible, but powerful :heart_trans: 💜
3. Rachel Heath PhD (birdsite: @Playcontra) - for showing me how far the UK lags on an Informed Consent model (ie AUSPath) and forever shaping my views on trans healthcare :heart_trans: 💜
4. Robin Moira White (birdsite: @moira_robin) - for teaching me so much on UK Equalities Law, EA 2010, GRA 2004 and giving me a robust suit of armour ⚔️ to read our UK TERFNet :heart_trans: 💜
5. 'Someone' dear who recently suggested maybe I'm no longer just a 'baby trans' :heart_trans:💜
