I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that all the people who Streeting takes 'expert advice' from have an easily discoverable anti-trans bias.

In Loving Memory of luciana– Help Us Cover Remaining Medical Bills With a heart that will never be the same, I share that my daughter Luciana has passed away after her battle with leukemia. Many of you supported us during her treatment through our previous fundraiser...

After Luciana’s passing I have shared a separate page to help with the remaining medical bills from her treatment I won’t be sending private messages or reposting it repeatedly I just wanted the information available here
Thank you for the love and support

I’m resilient and walk around sensory-blanking people out bc of AuDHD, but even I pick up the longer, more shameless stares my partner and I get here in the UK. That’s definitely happening more often, as a recent development. I don’t blame you not feeling able to follow your partner here 🫂

Pregnancy restructures the brain to prepare for childbirth and parenthood The emerging neuroscience of motherhood as a developmental stage.

Other studies like this show, in their headlines at least, it's very possible, grammatical and non-woo-woo-able to keep language gender-neutral, and for reality not to implode as a result.

Please take note. Sincerely, this transmasc who has been pregnant and given birth.

But when can we stop the gender assumptions around pregnancy?

Unsurprisingly, the above study was the one picked up for a BBC news story and mini-doc, gendered language intact.

94% of grey matter in the brains of mothers undergoes changes during pregnancy A study led by the UAB has analysed the brains of women during pregnancy for the first time using neuroimaging techniques. The study included...

Ahem... "mothers"

Don't get me wrong, it's great that this study also looked into potential brain changes for new parenthood in queer mothers - including non-pregnant cis female partners of expecting mothers. (They didn't find anything in non-pregnant partners, but at least they tried!)

Absolutely, horrific. Systemic cruelty against Black trans people, and the resulting higher suicidality amongst them, is then being used as a cover for people to get away with murder.

But either way, suicide and killings are both symptoms of this genocide.

A new report, using insights from 50 teachers, warns of the detrimental harm of new draft education guidance.
Equalities Minister Olivia Bailey has been warned in a new report that draft schools guidance is already causing confusion, concern and harm in schools. It is the latest in a series of unpublished drafts of guidance on the treatment of Trans+ kids in schools.

Speaking to over 50 teachers to draw its conclusions, Pride In Education told QueerAF how schools have already begun implementing guidance despite it not being finalised. Some teachers are reporting that they've been unable to talk about LGBT+ History Month for the first time in years. It also draws on support from teachers' union NASWUT, who backed the organisation's calls to withdraw relationships and sex education guidance – dubbed a 'Section 28 2.0' because of the culture of silence about Trans+ lives it threatens to create.

A Palestinian woman in a Mickey Mouse top stands near a market stall which is selling fruit and vegetables in a dusty street. She is holding her baby daughter, whilst her three year old daughter stands beside her, hands clasped, looking serious.

Samaa is exhausted by the constant sound of planes, which scares her children at night, and with their hunger even at iftar, the end of the day's fast, when there is not enough food to go round.

Yeah, I understand why that was hard for a group of folks who were so young. I don’t know if I’d be ready yet, but I’d like to grow to that point.

It’s a lovely pipe dream, but for now I’d be relieved just to move somewhere more queer than the small-town minded area I’m living in right now.

I’m sorry it didn’t work out for yours. I know these arrangements can be fragile things, but otherwise have no idea how they ever manage to get off the ground. To this naive whipper-snapper, they still seem like spontaneous magical utopias despite knowing they can be far from it.

I turned 34 last week, but had the distinct yearning to be 40 already. I want to be an elder enby.

I have a retirement plan sorted and everything:

1) Somehow wind up in a queer/trans commune.
2) That’s it. That’s the whole plan.

A trans femme of colour with a mechanic arm and a leg rising up into the air above a cyberpunk city. Waves of pink and grey energy swirl from their hands and weave between vertical lines of binary code. A variety of other Trans+ people and standing and seated on the tops of buildings and floating platform. The text reads: ‘Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon’.

Trans in the Machine is fully funded!

But with under a week left, there’s still time to hit some stretch goals.

The more we make, the more goes to good causes and mutual aid.

So, shout it loud and share far and wide. Post anywhere you can think of.

Cyberpunk and transness have always been linked.

For the first time, that connection will be explored in-depth.

This book will also showcase the amazing films, games & stories being made by Trans+ creators.

Be part of the new cyberpunk canon.
