UPDATE on Maia Kobabe's "Gender Queer: A Memoir" classification.

In March, The Classification Board called in "Gender Queer: A Memoir" by Maia Kobabe for classification from Kinokuniya. This was due to a complaint that was made by a very vocal proponent of book-banning. 1/5

I encourage people who want to learn more about the shock decision from FINA to effectively ban trans women and some intersex women from competitive swimming to listen to this 4 min article.

Really detailed information about the swimming authority’s process, & sport broadly.

Scott Morrison is claiming the Religious Discrimination Legislation must be passed today “because it was promised.” Well, what about the Integrity Commission? What about all the other "promises"? Without integrity, all else fails to deliver. #auspol #ReligiousDiscriminationBill

A beautiful, impassioned, deeply moving speech from @StephenJonesMP

Trans & gender diverse people are strong, enterprising and resilient, but few people are built to withstand the brutality of being a Go-To political football

You are so loved and so supported. I love you.
