Stating your pronouns isn't for you.

👉It's for the trans woman who hasn't come out yet. 👉It's for the trans man who feels he doesn't "pass." 👉It's for the non-binary person who is terrified of being their true self.

Because when everyone states their pronouns, it normalises it.

And it doesn't single out the people who really need them.

Tell people your pronouns, so that the people it's *really* for, feel comfortable doing it too.

Simple, right?

[Dr Helen Webberley (she/her) @HelenWebberley]

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.

The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.

However...

Let's address that 0.3%.

Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:

👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.

Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.

The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.

Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, it can be hard trawling the internet during these times of constant attacks on our human rights. However, there’s also some light amongst the dark.
Here’s a thread of some of this week’s good news 🧵🏳️‍🌈 (1/12)

I just found out that 1 in 3 kids in the foster system is queer. That is staggering. LGBTQ youth are 2.5x more likely to be in a group home than a family, and twice as likely to face mistreatment. There's a serious need for support in this area. Please, share this. #Foster #LGBTQ

We are in deep mourning as we think of the trans lives lost this past year, as well as those lives lost last night in Colorado Springs.

This is an amazing resource for those who are interested in the terminology of Queer identities, their expression and how to come out. Thank you to the folks @ https://t.co/1ZtcriOTmP for this resource.

Not long ago, LGBTQ+ people weren't allowed in all coffee shops & eating spaces - Compton's Cafeteria Riots & Dewye's Coffee Shop Sit-ins are two examples of that.

Happy Intersex Awareness Day 💛💜

Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit the boxes of “female” or “male.”

#LGBTQ students today are in a dangerous place, mentally and physically, when they step into a #school building. 81.8% of LGBTQ+ students in @GLSEN's newest survey reported feeling unsafe in school. We cannot ignore this staggering figure.

Today marks 100 years of the BBC! On this day, we’re looking at The BBC and LGBT+ rights: The good, the bad and the unforgivable.

Here are some of the good (and the bad) of the BBC’s history with queer lives and issues.

Happy International Pronoun Day to you, whether you use:
• Xe/Xem
• She/Her
• Dey/Dem
• He/Him
• They/Them
• Fae/Faer
Pronouns, or any others.
This is just a short list of some example pronouns people may use - you will never know someone’s pronouns, until you ask.

[GLSEN @GLSEN]

Supportive resources for LGBTQ+ students have decreased. Harassment has increased. And the majority of LGBTQ+ students don’t feel safe in school. Our latest National School Climate Study shows that now more than ever, students need us.
