🚨 Attn: #Women in the #fediverse and on #mastondon we need a hastag like #fedihelps for each other when the trolls descend so the squad shows up. Any ideas what it should be? 💅
Okay ladies big thank you to @jeze3D for coming up with #femstodon. Hit that #subscribe button to the hashtag, immediately. If you have a troll in your comments stepping over all civilised lines and need a squad, you add that hastag and help will be en route. Pass it on. 💋
Hi, Mastodon! I am writing my thesis for my Master's in Social Work. Originally, I wanted to focus on butch women obtaining top surgery.
Now, I want to look at how the trans community navigates/negotiates/pressures the medical community into creating a more expansive view on gender and a less medicalized view of gender dysphoria. (ie, viewing dysphoria as a social problem, not psychological.)
Do you have sources? Do you know people who are involved?
It's #PrideMonth! #Pride
To celebrate June, I'm going to recommend 1 #queer book every day, one that I liked and would love to have more appreciation for out there in the world!
Day 17: NATURE HELD ME CLOSE: A Zine About Gender Dysphoria and the Great Outdoors
There are THREE volumes of this now! Collections of personal essays, poetry, and artwork about being #trans, #queer, #NonBinary, #GenderNonConforming, #butch, or otherwise gender-complicated, and the ways that nature trips, nature studies, and being outdoors helped people connect with or otherwise re-assess their relationship with their bodies & identities.
“A society which cannot tolerate genderbending or cross- dressing ultimately will not tolerate homosexuality, bisexuality, or any other deviance from sexual or gender norms, no matter how closeted or assimilated.”
