Our Future Families session for young trans/non-binary/questioning ppl aged 11-24 is taking place in London tomorrow. It can be scary or confusing thinking about families and fertility when it feels like a long way off and services aren't great. Come and talk about your hopes and fears and how to make decisions. We include all definitions of family. 2 pm - 6 pm tomorrow. Underground Youth Centre. Search "Prospex Underground" on Google Maps.
We #StandwithCaster! Exceptional athletes are usually celebrated for their success, not punished or excluded by the sporting bodies who should be holding them up as beacons for all queer, intersex and trans young people.

Today is #transdayofvisibility ! It's a day to celebrate and empower trans and gender diverse people. You are valuable and loved. When we spend so much time fighting for our basic rights, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on how amazing our communities are. We know that visibility isn't a choice for many of us. It takes great strength to be visible, yet you shouldn't have to be courageous simply to be yourself. Today we're asking our allies to show support for a world where all trans people are safe to be themselves. #WiththeT #TDOV. π

Repost @translifeline We are standing with our trans family in the US right now against the horrific political effort to erase their very existence. Trans people have always found strength and resilience in our own communities and we will continue to do so. But we also need our allies to stand up too. If you can, talk about this issue, check in on your trans friends and loved ones, donate whatever you can to organisations in the US who support trans people, like @translifeline @sylviariveralawproject @translawcenter Tell us below who our friends out there should be supporting in the US β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ
We can't wait for @meg_john_barker's keynote at all our conference Transforming Spaces in three weeks' time. Here's a preview: Trans: Adventurers across time and space This past year it was confirmed beyond all doubt that Dr Who is trans as Jodie Whittaker began playing their latest incarnation. During the same year weβve been in the midst of an unprecedented trans moral panic where trans people have been treated much like the mutant characters in the X-men (echoing similar treatment of gay people in earlier decades). In this talk I play with the idea that trans people can usefully be regarded as timelords and shapeshifters - or shifters of space. Given these impressive superpowers itβs sad indeed that we tend to be regarded as threats to time and space, rather than as heroes who may be able to transform both space and time for everybodyβs benefit. ππ»ππΌππ½ππΎππΏ Find out more and book your tickets by googling "gendered intelligence conference" #transgender #trans #nonbinary #lgbtq
β₯οΈ Trans rights are human rights β₯οΈ Amazing to have @emmawatson take a stand for trans equality today. Thank you Emma! π There is still time for everyone to stand up for trans rights and take part in the Government's GRA consultation before it closes on Friday evening. We need all trans people to be recognised by law as their authentic selves, including young people under 18 and non-binary people. Find a link in our bio to lots of guidance to help you take part. π #TheBrightestWitchofHerAge #ComeOutForTransEquality
