@NoahRiseman @DrRyanStorr Totally the opposite of what I was going to say. Even when referring to own work, quoting oneself etc I have always written in 3rd person. It perhaps that is just the aid system way
Casual reminder that women don't know/care if transwomen are in womens' bathroom. If you're in there and you've seen someone's genitals, something has gone very wrong. We get in there, pee, touch up our makeup, make six lifelong besties, and then leave.

I pay my deepest respects to diverse SOGIE community in Indonesia at this deeply sad time. May she rest in peace. I ask that in respect, you spend 5 minutes today learning a little bit more about the front line human rights / LGBTIQ+ rights defenders in Indonesia.
I am saddened to hear the passing of a pioneer of the LGBTIQ+ / diverse SOGIE movement in Indonesia, ibu Shinto Ratri. She co-founded Pondok Pesantren Waria Al-Fatah Yogyakarta - an islamic boarding house for Waria, transgender and gender diverse persons in Yogyakarta.
You may not realise, but the city of Yogyakarta has the only madrasa (Islamic university) for Waria / gender diverse / transgender people in the world.
Indonesia has many many CSO's and amazing activists and human rights warriors that I am lucky to share and learn with and from
ASC is very saddened by the passing of our mentor & pioneer of the LGBTQIA+ movement in Indonesia as well as in the region, ibu Shinta Ratri.
She co-founded & headmistress of the Pondok Pesantren Waria Al Fatah Yogyakarta, an Islamic boarding house for transgender persons,
@magpiekilljoy love this intent is important I mis-named my trans son once but he knew I worried about hurting him, he hugged me. Alt me being considerate when ppl unintentionally use uncool language regarding sexuality or ethnicity. (Lesbian / Fijian) We are all continuously learning.
I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires.
Words are not enough.
Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.
