Camp Lost Boys, in the woods between Denver and Colorado Springs, is the world's only sleep-away camp and largest gathering space for adult trans men. Its goal is to encourage trans men to take up space and express love for their own masculinity. “Being a man is often seen as a terrible thing, particularly if you come from a queer space … and we internalize that,” says Rocco Kayiatos, founder of the Intentional Man Project, the nonprofit that makes camp happen. @19thnews talked to some of the men who attend Camp Lost Boys, who range from their teens to their 70s. “I have never seen that many trans guys in one space. To be honest, I haven’t seen this many trans adults, ever,” says 19-year-old Orion Pevehouse. “I have never seen an old trans person. And it just gives me a lot of hope that … I’m gonna live my entire life like this. And that’s just really exciting.”

Heute ist Internationaler Tag gegen Homo-, Bi-, Inter- und Transfeindlichkeit, der #IDAHOBIT, der sich darauf bezieht, dass die WHO am 17.05.1990 beschlossen hat Homosexualität als Krankheit aus dem ICD zu streichen. Trans als psychische Krankheit wurde erst 2018 aus dem ICD gestrichen. Letzteres haben viele deutsche Ärzte noch nicht mitbekommen.

This is not how you deal with #fascists, #racists, and #transphobes: "The reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt and learn so that our future approach to these moments balances celebration, inclusivity and broad-based appeal," Christina Hennington, Target's chief growth officer, said last summer."
