We have a trans woman who has been kept locked up in a house for a long time. She's been told she'll be allowed to leave if she leaves her country within a week.
We don't have the roughly 1000 EUR we need to move her.
Please, if you can, give. We have one week to raise the money and get her out.

Imagine a world in which you can lose your job for calling someone by their chosen name. Welcome to today's world of teaching. In Florida, you can be fired for calling your students by their chosen name without parental consent. That's what happened to Melissa Calhoun.

Her district's superintendent said that parental input can’t be ignored. But what if the parents are just plain wrong?

No matter. SCOTUS gave a ruling earlier this year that essentially made parental input is the ONLY thing that matters. Parents across the nation can now exempt their child from any and all curriculum that "goes against their religious beliefs." This would allow parents to exempt their kids from any of the standards, including evolution, in biology, or the Civil Rights movement, in U.S. history.

From the teachers' and schools' perspective, this completely throws the concept of teaching standards out the window. It makes it pointless for teachers to plan curriculum in advance since they wouldn't know until the last minute which students, if any, would be allowed to learn it. And it would significantly increase teachers' workload since they must create alternative curriculum for students who are exempted.

A passenger we previously moved to a safe intermediate country has reached a Scandanavian country, where she will be able to live permanently. It's been a very long road for hr - longer than a complete circuit of the globe.

Doing this is expensive. Please, if you can help, do:

Institutional transphobia: an effective total ban from all so-called "single-sex spaces" for all trans people, regardless of which one you use.

We all knew it was coming.

I quite like being able to go outside in public sometimes, and the bigots have made that almost impossible.

But I'm NOT going to comply. I shall pee where I please. Bite me.

Mariah Carey is for Trans Rights!

But note how the BBC do not explain what her "Protect the Dolls" reference is about, (it's specially about Trans rights and the current assault on Femmes)

"It has been six years since the Gender Autonomy Act was passed in Iceland. In those six years, none of the usual fears that anti-trans advocates warn against have manifested - and trans people, non-binary people and intersex people have enjoyed increased rights and protections."

"The law allowed people to change name and legal gender marker by filling in a form with the national registry (no medical diagnosis required), non-binary people were legally recognised and can get ID accordingly, and health care for young people was enshrined in law."

Planet earth calling UK, are you there ...?
