Hi!
I thought I’d do an #Introduction post.
I’m Peter (he/him), cis #Gay #Queer #Ace man, #Trans ally.
I work in English Language Teaching as an #Editor, #Writer and #DEI consultant, mainly focusing on #LGBTQIA representation which is woefully lacking. I self-published a resource book called Existence, which I believe is the first and only LGBTQIA+ ELT resource book. I also started @notataboo .

How LGBTQ+ Pride Went Global
The annual celebration in support of equal rights for LGBTQ+ people has expanded to more than one hundred countries, but it continues to face intense opposition from some governments.Dominic Bocci (Council on Foreign Relations)
Welcome to #TransTuesday!
This week we discuss something super important for a lot of trans folks, and yet it so very often goes south and impacts us in so many ways:
CIS SPOUSAL AND PARTNER SUPPORT DURING TRANSITION.
Let's talk about what it looks like, and why it's so important... and what happens when we don't get it.
CIS FRIENDS I NEED YOU TO SHARE THIS WITH *YOUR* CIS FRIENDS.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone. I spent over 6 months writing and rewriting this article that I just published. Most of that time was spent debating whether or not to publish it.
I'm finally coming out; I'm trans. I hope this article helps.

PSA to everyone to not use brave browser @brave@mastodon.social, the CEO of Brave Software is bigoted (donated to anti-lgbtqia+ organizations trying to ban gay marriage in the past and still has never addressed it or apologized) and was also against the Covid Lockdowns and is anti-vax. Using brave browser contributes to oppression of LGBTQIA+ ppl and contributes to brave software financially through ads and other means.
I recommend anyone still using brave browser to switch to ungoogled-chromium as a non-bigoted degoogled chromium-based browser alternative. @floccus@fosstodon.org is a good browser extension to use on ungoogled-chromium to sync your bookmarks.

Born in 1938, Jeanne Hoff, was the 1st openly transgender psychiatrist. She used her voice to speak out for others, such as a Black transgender woman diagnosed by doctors w “mental retardation" & “sexual perversion” due to her gender identity.
Hoff shared her transition experience in a documentary to encourage her transgender patients to live openly & confidently. She passed away earlier this Fall & absolutely belongs in #HistoryRemix.

The State Duma of the Russian Federation passed a bill to "completely ban transgender transition".
On June 14, 2023, during the first reading of the bill on the "total ban on transgender transition," the Minister of Health noted that in addition to the legislative initiative under discussion, he was conducting research work for conversion therapy. This issue was raised by Anatoly Wasserman, who was concerned that people with a "different idea" of their gender role need to be psychologically and psychiatrically "brought to reality." The Minister replied that work is already being done in this direction on the instructions of the President, and a corresponding institute is being created where other "behavioral disorders" and forms of antisocial behavior will also be addressed.

Some of the #publishers fighting #BookBans and celebrating #PrideMonth are also suing the @internetarchive. "If anything, Pride Month should be the moment in which publishers join librarians in their efforts to make as much knowledge as available as possible to as many people as possible. #OpenAccess is thus an essential tool in the fight for #LGBTQIA+ rights and minority rights in general."

Gender-affirming care—for ADULTS—is now predictably under attack in #Texas. This is part of a Republican plan of genocide underway against #trans people. We need cis allies to be loud and angry on our behalf. Pay attention, this doesn't end here or with us:

Trans Texans’ access to transition-related care threatened by Senate bill

Ag Dept employees received an unwelcome surprise in a new dress code issued last week that seems aimed at oppressing #transgender and #nonbinary workers, reports Digital Editor Kit @oconnell based on a document leaked to us:

Yesterday in Utah, Senator Escamilla called Republicans bluff by making them vote on banning teenage breast implants in an anti-trans healthcare ban.
All Republicans voted against it.

Utah Republicans Exclude Cis Teen Breast Implants From Trans Care Ban
In current legislative fights over gender affirming care, it is clear that Republicans only intend to target transgender people. This amendment vote proves it.Erin Reed (Erin In The Morning)
A new anti-trans bill in West Virginia would ban "transgender exposure to minors" as "obscene matter."
It would add to a law with a 5 year prison term, and to ALL laws around minors in WV.
It must not pass.

LGBTQ/LGBTQIA stands for Let's Get Banned Today Quickly (by) Instance Admins, is used to refer to a group of trolls who like to block evade or "speedrun" getting defederated.
They will make inflammatory posts such as the one below to see how quickly they can get on #fediblock.
If you see any #lgbtqia individuals please block and federate safely.

There is conversation about a proposed gathering of collectively/cooperatively/democratically run Mastodon instances.
As @natematias has pointed out, this conversation needs to start with #bipoc, #lgbtqia+, and other people who have been (and continue to be) attacked in social media spaces.
If you are running a #Black, #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA+ or other instance, does a gathering of collective/cooperative instances seem useful to you?

A lot of my work ends up just being stuff I'd wear on a shirt. And then I try be be inclusive if the design calls for it. So it really ends up simplistic sometimes, but it's an aesthetic I like.
