i forget who made the post but “if you would transition in a heartbeat in a more accepting society then you are in fact trans” really helps me when i need it
hey! donate to uk trans charities today because it’s gonna be a rough one
Folks in the UK, could we have some trusted links to charities?
There’s Mermaids which is always a great option, and then Scotland-specific there’s LGBT Youth Scotland, to give you just a couple. There will absolutely be more that other people can suggest though!
Hilton canceled a trip she was going to make to the US this month, where she was going to participate on Saturday (12) in a panel at the Brazil Conference, and says she will take action against US President Donald Trump at the UN (United Nations) because she considers the case to be transphobic and disrespectful of her Brazilian civil records.
UPDATE: fellow transgender Brazilian congresswoman Duda Salabert has been informed her visa will also register her as male.

“More than transphobia, there is a question of national sovereignty involved: it is not up to the US government to disagree with and refute Brazil’s documents,” she said.
It sucks that when black people vent or speak up about our issues especially without sugarcoating kindness towards white people, everyone just sees it and actively avoids listening.
but a white ally can say the exact same thing and these performative ass people will sit their asses down and be like “I am listening and learning”
#noticing
but yes, black people have been proven time and time again that no matter how marginalized or privileged a white person is, they will stick to and flock with other white people over POC (subconsciously or not)
hey americans there is a recall on testosterone gel because they found benzene in it! please check the lot numbers on your batches, benzene is really not something you want to be rubbing into your skin, also you might be eligible for compensation because this is just insane what the fuck
not only testosterone gel has been recalled - if you click on the link above, you’ll see that there are a lot of other medications affected, ranging from ibuprofen to thyroid medication to psych meds and a whole bunch in between. i’d say usamericans who use ANY medication should check this list just to be safe

A couple I donate to: TransAid Cymru, to support Welsh trans people, and The Outside Project, which helps queer people in London struggling with homelessness (and as trans people make up a disproportionately large number of unhoused people, it feels very relevant.)
Goes without saying, but don’t donate to Pride Cymru, because they’re complete shit.
Plugging the Belfast Trans Resource Centre who are a social space for all trans/non-binary/intersex and folks otherwise identifying with the trans umbrella in Northern Ireland who offer support and resources as well as running fun events. Like a lot of queer charities, covering costs and doing what we need to do is much trickier now than ever before. 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
