There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.

The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.

Let's show them the power of Mastodon. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

3 years on HRT! 🎉

If you are hesitating, because you feel like an impostor, not "trans enough", take this as your cue to start! You won't get irreversible effects right away and will know soon enough if it's for you or not (only took me a night to be sure, after well over a year of fretting, but I've been told it's not the same for everyone)

If you don't want HRT, you are valid, only do what feels right for you

If you can't get HRT, I'm sorry 🫂 and you are still valid

I don't reflect upon this often enough, but I am SO stoked to live within #Australia's medical system, as flawed as it is.

Public health gender services at #RWBH in #Brisbane took a trauma-minimising approach toward my #transition. Rather than taking the intervention that my naieve 37-year-old had presumed - top surgery & breast implants - they gently educated me that maybe #hormones would be worth thinking about, and that oestrogen doesn't impact testosterone production or erectile function at low doses.

Cut to 4.5 years later and I am living joyfully and fully integrated in my #enby #trans body - no prosthetics, natural 'A' cup #breasts - taking 6.75mg oestrogen & 200mg progesterone daily. My hormonal system is that of a "normal" cis female. My sex drive was decimated in years 2-3, but I have learned to drive this new vehicle in ways that have surprised and delighted me.

Thanks, 'Straya. You're fucked up, but in this aspect you've done me a great service.

Being trans costs me about $60/mo, and if I were still just doing E that number would be halved 🤟🏻

🏳️‍⚧️💖Next, for my honoring of important elders of our community for the Trans Day of Remembrance is We'wha, a Ihamana, and two-spirit member of the Zuni tribe. There is no consensus on what pronouns are best for We'wha but because native/indigenous folks recognize Ihamana as being distinct from men or women, and fulfilling both roles in their culture I will be using (they/them). We'wha was, perhaps, one of the most famous and influential Ihamana in history. They were a cultural ambassador for Native and indigenous peoples, especially the Zuni. They lived from 1849-1896, during a time when our trans kin had almost no representation, no language to conceptualize our experience, and no safety--and despite this they were sought out and elevated in writing. They learned english and were very knowledgeable; this enabled them to educate Euro-american white individuals and be a valuable contact for many different groups and institutions. They were part of a Zuni delegation to Washington D.C. and even met the president, Grover Cleveland. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷



🏳️‍⚧️💖⚧️ Thank you, We'wha. You are a paragon of representation and community. Rest in power, dear sibling.💖🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

PSA for any trans+ person looking to start, or currently doing, any kind of voice training

Seattle Voice Lab has broken their silence over a former employee of theirs (Jimmy Chen), who set up his own voice coaching service called Trans Voice Lab.

We need to address Trans Voice Lab.

We highly recommend watching / listening to the whole video, but here are some key points within their video:

• Jimmy's employment was terminated for "manipulative teaching practices and dishonesty towards" their students.
• He downloaded their bespoke training materials (SVL's intellectual property) and client lists (!!!), then used these to set up his own voice coaching service and write a book.
• SVL didn't want to have to make the video, but has felt obliged to do so.
• SVL is pursuing "legal counsel" over Jimmy's actions.

tl;dr

• Avoid any videos or guides from Jimmy Chen.
• Avoid using Trans Voice Lab at all costs.

Boosts and crossposts very welcome, as we need to make more folks aware of this
