Called a 'disaffected youth' by the Daily Mail. Non binary finery. Gal Dem columnist. Hmu for drag, poetry, journalism. I do workshops too

[Yas Necati @YasNecati]

Particularly proud of this one. My latest column for @galdemzine about returning to my homeland, Cyprus, as an openly queer and trans person. I've been waiting seven years to write this piece and couldn't be happier it turned out to be a joyful journey https://t.co/vJfdtpDLh6

what is trans-ness but resistance—liberation—from a sex/gender order defined by coercion

what does it mean to be against *that*

Please donate to our crowdfunder so we can keep doing what we do.

[Cheddar Gorgeous @CheddarGorgeous]

There are parents in this world that consider dressing up in drag (whatever that means) as dangerously 'adult', but are fine with their kids dressing as soldiers, cowboys and cops. They value violence above freedom and dare to call us demons who warp young minds

[Hajar Press @hajarpress]

The enthusiastic response to our work has proven the profound need for an antiracist press like Hajar ✊🏾

But under adverse political and economic conditions, projects like ours need sustained support to survive.

Please help us to keep on publishing!

[farhaana @fararefin]

Last year’s burnouts taught us that @hajarpress can’t be sustained by all-consuming, underpaid labour, however meaningful the work.

Under oppressive conditions, projects like ours need support to survive. Please give what you can to help us keep going 🙏🏾 https://t.co/aIChi46KBW

[Just Like Us @JustLikeUsUK]

Today we are calling on parents – whether you think or know if your child might be LGBT+ or not – to please tell them you are a LGBT+ ally.🌈

Our new, independently conducted research reveals that almost half of LGBT+ young adults face some form of family estrangement.🧵(1/8)
