Offener Brief zur Anerkennung nicht-binärer Menschen - bitte unterschreiben und teilen!
In der Schweiz wird Nemo gefeiert und gleichzeitig offiziell nicht anerkannt. Laut geltendem Recht ist es gar nicht möglich, einen anderen Geschlechtseintrag als «Frau» oder «Mann» zu erhalten oder ganz auf einen Geschlechtseintrag zu verzichten.
Das muss sich ändern!
Fordere den Bundesrat und das Parlament auf, hier endlich voranzumachen.
My eyes are a similar colour and I used to wear shadow that colour with a hint of sparkly burgundy in the crease for definition (because my eyelids tend to disappear ;)
Elagabalus was made a Roman Emperor at the age of just 14. The Emperor often wore wigs and makeup, and liked to be referred to by feminine titles. Elagabalus reportedly offered a large sum of money to any doctor who could give them a vagina.
If you're a transmasculine person with experience in any type of sex work and would like to write about it, keep reading this post. Jack is a transmasculine person and sex worker activist and he's creating an anthology of writing by trans masculine sex workers (or former sex workers).
He'd like to hear from you. Contributors will be paid. Contact jackvioletparker@hotmail.com for more info.
There's an argument that can be made that Jesus and John were a couple. Mostly based on the descriptions of the latter and the role he played during the burial.
Paul of Tarsus comes off as asexual, but it's hard to tell thanks to his misogyny.
I hold no shame or embarrassment about having been #AMAB, and I have no issue using that term, but it is not something I am, it was something that happened to me. It explains my past, it doesn't define my present.
Verb past tense, not noun.
I'm not AMAB. I was AMAB. I have now corrected that mistaken assumption, and expect to be treated as the #nonbinary woman I am.

I'm sure that, as a nonbinary person, you've had many people tell you what words you should and shouldn't use.
I won't repeat the twisted arguments that aim to stop you from calling yourself trans, bisexual, gay, lesbian, straight and more. You know them chapter and verse by now. I don't need to remind you of the push back against micro labels, or just new labels. You're well aware of how nonbinary people are not allowed to use binary pronouns, yet every alternative is "grammatically incorrect."
What magical combination of labels and pronouns will people finally accept in a nonbinary person, you might ask? What do they want?
They want you to stop being nonbinary. You can't placate them.
Nonbinary people must wear bigots out by existing, boldly, despite them. And we will, because suffering for the sake of truth is easy compared to suffering to preserve one's fear.

One of the scariest parts of coming out is coming out at work. Unlike your family--blood or chosen--work is just a bunch of people who get thrown together, mishmash, and have to make things work out.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, it's a guide to give to your coworkers when they get that wide-eyed look and think "Oh, s#!t, my coworker just told me they're trans." At least, it should keep people from asking what's in your goddamned pants.
@Impossible_PhD The resources you provide to us are so valuable I can't express my thanks enough.
I forwarded this to my manager who while supportive, didn't really "get it". He just called me to talk about your article and what the company can be doing better ❤️
"More training is needed for frontline NHS staff, I feel like the trans community is often required to educate the people who are gatekeeping their access to the services they need. The waiting times are maddening! Three years or more of waiting is is not acceptable, especially when gender dysphoria is your daily companion." Liv
The Federal Republic joins 20 countries which have passed laws allowing people to declare their own legal gender. I hope someday this will apply across the whole EU.
On a more personal level, this means I can finally change my own legal gender to #nonbinary 🎉🏳️⚧️
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious I was following the whole thing, it's absolutely shameful. I do hope Scotland can come and rejoin the rest of the EU at some point.
"Trans people come in all shapes and sizes. The ones I have met are nice and just want to get on with their lives. It is wearing to have to justify your existence every time someone wants to call you out on something someone has read or heard." Louise
Looking for Survey Participants for the dissertation project "Reviewing Gender as Colonial Construct and its Impact on Transgender and Intersexual Discrimination." You must be 18+ and trans and/or intersex.
I confuse people with my race, ethnicity, my disability and because I’m trans. My disability makes it hard to communicate sometimes, so I think people in general are awkward around me.” Kaijoumari-Jade
Of all the comings-out we have to do as trans folks, telling our parents is one of the very hardest. What it even means to be trans has changed so much that it can be incredibly hard to even get them to understand what your gender is.
This week on #StainedGlassWoman, we've got "Oh, s#!t, my child just told me they're trans," a guide meant to be handed off to parents of trans teens and adult children, to help them get there.
This is another JUMBO SGW, weighing in at nearly 6500 words!
As a note, though, Substack's alt text feature is bugging out for some users, and I'm one of the ones affected. As a result, all alt text has to be done as captions for the time being.
Small update: @JoscelynTransient mentioned https://transfamilysos.org/, a nonprofit she works with, as a great resource for parents of trans kids, and so I added it as well as /r/cisparenttranskid as extra resources for parents!
