25.01.2022 Hey trans*, non-binary, genderqueer and gender diverse friends!! We're looking for people to join an advisory group to help us make sure DocDir is doing the bes...t we can for the TGD community. Given COVID times, we will be doing meetings online, via Zoom, facilitated by our very own trans* co-founder, SJ. There will be at least 3 meetings to give feedback about the website (yes, you'll get a first sneak peek), our vetting process for clinicians and other exciting stuff. We are looking for a range of identities and experiences, so we highly encourage TGD people with disabilities, refugee and migrant TGD people, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander TGD people, brotherboys and sistergirls to apply. Apply here: http://docdir.com.au/co/application-for-tgd-advisory-group/ This program has been funded by TGV's SPARK program, and you will be reimbursed for your time. If you have any questions, reach out to us at [email protected] Transgender Victoria, Out for Australia, Thorne Harbour Health

18.01.2022 Happy bisexuality visibility day! As far as I know I'm the only out bisexual MP in any parliament in Australia. Although I am kinda chuffed with the title, I’d ...really love to see that change. Bi visibility has to happen in the parliament, in the media, and by people in leadership roles. And by bi+ people across the country. Every one of us can make a difference to the lives of present and future bi+ people by being as open and as out and as proud as it’s safe for us to be. That’s what opens people’s eyes, that’s how acceptance grows. That’s how society shifts. Regardless of how large or small your acts of pride are, I’d like to take the opportunity to say - I see you. I see you even when others don’t. I will continue to share our stories and advocate for our rights inside and outside the parliament. You are amazing, resilient, and a constant inspiration to me.

15.01.2022 Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day Australia voted YES for marriage equality. We know that many of you will remember what it was like that morning waiting ...nervously, hopefully for the result. We wanted to reflect today on some of the other historic moments for LGBTIQ+ people in Australia. From the first Mardi Gras to rainbow families officially being recognised, there have been huge changes for LGBTIQ+ people. But there are still significant barriers along the road to equality, and they don't all fit into a video. We've got continue to the work to make sure that: - All LGBTIQ+ people are free from discrimination in schools, services, and workplaces - Trans and gender diverse people have the dignity of having ID documents that reflect who they are - Intersex people are able to make choices about their bodies and give informed consent for any medical interventions - So-called conversion therapy is a thing of the past And so much more! Together, we’re powerful. We can create a place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect no matter where they live, who they are, or whom they love.

13.01.2022 Another night fallen into a YouTube worm hole and I stumbled upon this which I found fascinating, scary to imagine getting to the age where we have to think about maybe going into a home if or when we become incapacitated

10.01.2022 A contributor to this kind of homophobic school culture is NSW’s retrograde law allowing non-government schools to discriminate against LGBTIQ students. That la...w must be reformed and an apology given on behalf of all the state governments that allowed that law to remain on the books.

09.01.2022 Huge news: as of this month, all schools in England are required to teach an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum! The importance of LGBTQIA+ knowledge and inclusion in s...chools is super close to our heart. Which is why the Minus18 Education team deliver workshops to schools (both students and teachers), diving into the tools and knowledge needed to champion inclusivity. Get chatting to our team today especially now that we're able to deliver digitally ANYWHERE in Australia: https://bit.ly/2ZAozZV

09.01.2022 Lesbians are Everywhere, so don’t panic Designed and stitched by: Monica As a member of the Stitchers and Knitters group, the Stitch and Resist project has insp...ired me over the months of Covid to stitch again. In the early 1990s I made a big banner for Pride and International Women’s Day marches saying ‘Lesbians are Everywhere, so don’t panic’. It was later lent and never returned, a sad loss. So here is the slogan again for both sweet smiles for us and defiance against homophobia. #stitchandresist
