NUS Queer demands the QLD Gov immediately resumes gender-affirming care for trans youth in QLD! 🏳️‍⚧️ Read our statement here.

Fun fact: The Liberals in the Federal Parliament are claiming that they support LGBTQIA+ rights because they passed the legislation for same-sex marriage in Australia.

If they cared about the rights of the community - they would not have made us go through a plebiscite

The QLD government are accepting submissions towards the recent birth certificate reform that has been proposed in parliament.

Be sure to make a submission supporting trans rights and take a look at some of the stuff that @JackieMaeTurner has shared!

Call to action: Support trans rights in Queensland by making a submission in support of the changes to birth certificates, making it so that trans people can amend the gender on their birth certificates without requiring surgery 🧵

Happy International Pronouns Day!

The NUS Queer/LGBTQIA+ Department recognises that referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity.

We recognise this day as a day to celebrate, recognise and respect people's pronouns. #pronouns
