Your reminder that if you didn't always know you were trans, that's okay! If you want to take HRT and get gender-affirming surgery-okay! You don't? That's perfectly okay too. Want to start HRT, then stop, then start again down the track? Also fine! Want to try out different names and pronouns? Do it! Clothes style changes with time, or doesn't fit gender norms? Experimentation is awesome! There is no one right way to be trans. This is *your* journey🏳️‍⚧️

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 the Fediverse. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

Petition: Legally recognise non-binary as a gender

Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-binary people.

History of trans musician Wendy Carlos (2/3)

I learned about this incredible woman after coming across an old video with her on YouTube the other week (see part 3 of the thread for link).

And I thought it’s important to share given that trans history is being actively erased from public consciousness these days, and right-wing politicians / pundits are trying to claim that trans people are invading and ruining culture. In reality, people like Carlos have been here this whole time, creating the very culture that these jerks claim is being ruined by “woke”.

This is also telling. Carlos said about the public’s reaction to her transition, back in the 80s:

"The public turned out to be amazingly tolerant or, if you wish, indifferent ... There had never been any need of this charade to have taken place. It had proven a monstrous waste of years of my life."

History of trans musician Wendy Carlos (3/3)

And here is the video where I first came across Carlos.

Two bits of context here:

1. This is one of the most impressive explainers of how electronic music works and the different wavelengths that go into turning electric signals into sound that I’ve ever seen (and I studied physics for 2 years in university, so I had at least some background on this.) youtu.be/4SBDH5uhs4Q?si=kll8Uv…

2. At this point, Carlos had started hormone therapy but was not public about her transition. So she’d put on fake sideburns, a wig, and try to appear more masculine.

Hi everyone, I wanna tell you about a really cool #trans person I’ve learned about recently - Wendy Carlos. (Thread: 1/3)

Carlos was born in 1939 and is currently 86 years old. She helped develop the first ever commercial #synthesizer, Moog, in 1964. She created the scores for iconic movies including A Clockwork Orange (1971), The Shining (1980), and Tron (1982). She even won three #Grammy awards in 1970 for her album Switched-On Bach. (First trans woman to ever win one!)

She was also one of the first public figures to disclose that she underwent a feminizing gender-affirming surgery (she got the procedure in 1972, went public in 1979).

Was könnte denn eine passende Fedi-Instanz für einen jungen Transmann sein, der sich u.a. für alles, was fliegt, interessiert, und auf den Hund gekommen ist? 😄

Würde ihm gern eine Community hier schmackhaft machen.

“What makes me transgendered is that my birth sex—which is female—appears to be in social contradiction to my gender expression—which is read as masculine. I defend my right to that social contradiction. In fact, I want to live long enough to hear people ask, ‘What made me think that was a contradiction in the first place?’”

(Leslie Feinberg, "Trans Liberation")

Mabel, a white and blue(? yeah, I don't get it either) whippet, chilling on top of a purple bed with purple bed sheets and a purple duvet, with Tuna the Blåhaj hanging out on the bed frame behind her. Her ears are flopped forward as she stares inquisitively past the camera.
Two cats hanging out together on a white wall mounted cat fixture against a dark purple wall. The fixture has two levels. On the top, flat level is Majora, a black and white short-hair, and on the bottom, cradle shaped level is Link, an orange short-hair. Majora is hanging his front paws off the right side of the fixture, staring towards the camera. Link is staring blankly off towards the left. They are good cats.
A close-up of Saria, a long-hair brown tabby cat, staring upwards with her green eyes. She is very focused.
Two cats cuddled together in front of a bright window. On the left is Majora, a black and white short-hair, and the right Link, an orange short-hair. Majora is spooning Linky with his front right paw wrapped around Link's neck (in a loving way, not like a choking kind of way). They are on top of a white, cushy cat bed that is level with the window sill, and there are brown wooden blinds coming down to just about their head height.

Hurray! Another San Francisco bookstore is following Booksmith's example and pulling Harry Potter books.

From the SF Chronicle:

Fabulosa Books followed suit on Wednesday, June 25.

The queer Castro bookstore shared a picture of a whiteboard to its Instagram account with the message, “We are no longer buying + selling books by J.K. Rowling as she is devoting her life to nastiness.”

The caption thanks Booksmith for “setting a good example.”

You might have seen a post being shared around saying Canada has opened up its suicide hotline to American citizens with Trump threatening a shutdown of ours in the US.

The number it links to is the Trans Helpline. This is likely a right wing attempt to try to flood and overwhelm the hotline and hurt trans people.

Please be careful and check on this before you share them. And if you see an account for a Jeras Ikehorn which seems to be bridged here from Bluesky, know this is the second time in several weeks they have blatantly shared misinformation that harms trans people.

I grew-up as a Christian Pastor’s Kid which surely was a struggle for me. Today I got this text from my dad about him performing his first ever same-sex marriage in his career at the age of 67 years old.

He’s been a minister in the United Methodist Church for over 30 years and I can assure you, this was one of the highlights of his entire 30+ years ministering.

He said, “It was one of the most meaningful things I’ve done.”

Changed hearts are possible! 💕🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Text message bubble with black background and a heart expressing love for the text. The text says, “ thought I’d share something really special. I was able to do this afternoon. I hoped two things would happen before I retire. First, that my denomination would remove the harmful language around LGBTQIA+ persons. Check, that happened last May. Second, I hoped I’d have the opportunity to officiate a same-sex marriage. Check, that’s what happened this afternoon. I had the privilege to marry two women a 79 and 83 year-old.

The holidays are often a really tough time for queer, and especially #trans, folks. We fight for family and somehow it always seems to turn into us getting hurt more and more.

This holiday on #StainedGlassWoman, we're holding the Black Sheep close, and talking about the reasons families are dysfunctional.

And no, it's not your fault. It was never your fault.

"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage
