Some people are trans. It doesn't matter why. We're here.

Have you guys seen this Sally Jesse Rafael clip from 1989 where she’s interviewing a non-binary person named Toby?

I don’t remember anyone trying to cancel her for this. There’s no way the 80 & 90s were ACTUALLY when America was great, but this is not as cringe as I thought it would be:

In a small town Goodwill in New Jersey, I found the perfect top for this pan, verse, enby.

To all my #nonbinary siblings, you are nonbinary no matter how you look like, you don't have to change your look to look like a nonbinary when you already are. You can be the most masculine man look and still be enby, you can look like the most feminine woman and still be enby you can be anything else and still be enby. You are valid you are beautiful and you are my sibling and your trans sister loves you

OMFG look what I just found at a Goodwill in a small town in New Jersey!

This is what it looks like on: https://lgbtqia.space/@alice/114258666326934644

For Transgender Day of Visibility, I want to highlight some quiet work that is quite literally making Transgender people visible - clothing closets (e.g. clothing banks) for #nonbinary and #transgender folk. I know about this one because eldest offspring (they/them) volunteers quite a bit of time working with Out of the Closet at #RoanokeCollege to clean and organize the donations. Find your #mutualaid. https://www.roanoke.edu/news/out_of_the_closet #tdov

For Trans Day of Visibility, here are a few fantastic works by Trans and Nonbinary Authors:

ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY, Charlie Jane Anders.
Imagine if tech-science met up with fantasy-magic, separated, then reunited in a cooperative effort to save us all from a world gone mad.

SORROWLAND, Rivers Solomon. This book has everything: walking metaphors, fantastic otherworldly creatures, mirrored perception, primal earthiness, even metaphysical battles.

THE FUTURE OF ANOTHER TIMELIME, Annalee Newitz. What if we took a more inclusive and expansive crack at Great Man Theory? Not your ordinary time travel.

WOUND FROM THE MOUTH OF A WOUND, torrin a greathouse. Self-described Trans queer cripple-punk poet pierces the reader with intense, visceral reflections.

GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR, Maia Kobabe. Soul-baring and illuminating. Graphic format nonfiction.

THE THIRD PERSON, Emma Grove. Graphic format trans memoir with the incredible complications of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

MONSTROUS: A TRANSRACIAL ADOPTION STORY, Sarah Myer. Graphic format memoir about being bullied for being different in every way from your peers.

i feel like it's important to share this one again

happy #TransDayOfVisibility :)

Today is a great day to be a visible trans/non-binary ally. You don’t need to be loud to be visible.

Remember the Kevin Bacon game? We’re all a lot more connected than we think.

Your actions with employees, colleagues, family, friends, and neighbors all matter. Not just directly, but in a six degrees of separation way.

On this International Day of Trans Visibility, what we need is for allies to be visible.

Here are some ways you can be a visible ally:

* Remember the underground railway? Strategically places stickers, signs, buttons all can show you are an ally. Since more bigots don’tn recognize an ally flag, you can use those. You don’t need to paint a trans flag on the front of your house, but it’s an option!
* Practice “echoing” language. Don’t want to share pronouns? That’s fine. But why do you need to know others? Try echoing the language they use. If someone says, “my kid is in college”, say “what college are they at?”…. if you say, “do you have any kids?” and they say “yes, one.”.. Say, “where are they now?”. … if they mention their partner, try “what does your partner do?”.
* If you “mess up” pronouns, correct yourself and move on.
* Talk amongst yourselves. Discussing trans and non-binary issues among small groups of friends is a positive way to influence others and to help grow allies. The more connected people feel to the queer community, the more allies there will be.
* Groups like PFLAG have regular ally and education sessions virtually across the country where you and your friends can learn allyship. This is a good resource. learningaboutrans.com.
* Boost posts about allyship and actions to support the community.

Eigentlich hatte ich für den heutigen Trans* Day of Visibility ein paar Aktionen beim FC St. Pauli geplant, aber leider muss alles verschoben werden.

Dafür hier nochmal mein Interview beim @MillernTon und die neue Seite von Vielfalt im Stadion.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today and we're sending love and solidarity to trans people everywhere - whether you're able to be open about being trans or not.

It's also the 5th birthday of our website! Yes, our website launched on 31st March 2020 and was the catalyst for TransActual becoming the organisation that it is today.

One of our first pages was our crowd-sourced definition of transphobia: https://transactual.org.uk/transphobia

​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

Especially in these times when our trans siblings in the United States and in several other countries are under extreme pressure to become invisible, it is important for us, who have the privilege of being able to be visible, to be visible! So today at the office, I'm going all out.
