Tonight is a great night to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to supporting trans and gender diverse people, as well as their families.
Here are three of my favourite orgs: 👇
@PGDCsupport gives a voice to parents of transgender and gender diverse children. I have a soft spot for kickass parents, and these folks are definitely that.
You can donate to them here: https://t.co/x5fPwKXd9g
I assume tonight 4 Corners is investigating the rise of far right groups concern trolling about children who are trans as part of culture war in order to make their bigotry more palatable to the media?
Tonight, @4corners is presenting an episode on the "gender debate", specifically in relation to Westmead hospital. At the centre of it is a research paper that advocates not giving young people gender-affirming care.
So I took a look at the paper in question.

@lazy_boo@queenzulu And I’m betrayed by being reminded about what is going to happen next. Had totally blocked it and got carried away with the story . Sigh.
If you're a trans-inclusive person, I'd really ask you to retweet this (and you know that apart from research and surveys and follows for others I never ask for retweets). For trans people who are here (on Twitter), safe places are often formed from hearing affirmations.
Dear Parents of Queer & Trans kids,
As the person who accepts your kids as her own when you fuck up, I would like to present a few tips to not fucking up. This is mostly for nice "liberal" parents who are totally cool with queer people, really, until it's their kid.
