22.01.2022 I came across this post from Mermaids from the UK, a transgender and gender diverse support organisation, about language and its importance. I would be interested in what our transgender and gender non-conforming people think of this and how we can improve our language in our resources for transgender and gender diverse people. In your response, if you could let us know (only if you feel safe to do so) if you are transgender, gender diverse, a parent, or person who regularly ...works with these amazing people. Thanks, Jason https://mermaidsuk.org.uk//do-you-still-use-the-phrase-bo/

19.01.2022 AN IMPORTANT SURVEY - PLEASE READ AND SHARE Equality Australia, ACON trans organisations are working together on a national survey across the country to tackle NSW, Qld and WA laws that continue to place barriers, such as requirements for surgery or medical treatment, for people to update gender markers on their birth certificates. They would like to hear from trans and gender diverse people across Australia, and those who love them, about the impact of these laws and wheth...er they may be interested in helping change them. For those in states and territories who have already reformed their laws, we’re asking for stories of the positive impact of these changes.

01.01.2022 For the wider Uniting Network Australia community, submissions have been published responding to the One Nation NSW Mark Latham’s Religious Discrimination and Equality Bill before the NSW Parliament and referred to a Joint Select Committee. I would not be surprised if One Nation is successful in QLD with a seat in the upcoming QLD election, they may try to introduce a similar appalling bill into Queensland. Uniting Network NSW/ACT has put in a submission, as has the Synod o...f NSW/ACT. You can find a link to all the submissions below. A word of caution, a number will be difficult to read, and even I have decided not to read a number of them at this point in time. Remember, if you get distressed reading submissions, contact a friend, or call QLIFE 1800184527 (3 pm to midnight), LifeLine on 131114 24 hours a day, or if in danger go straight to the emergency department of your local hospital. Given the makeup of the membership of the Joint Select Committee (of which Mark Latham actually Chairs), I suspect we have a fight on our hands. https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au//Pages/committee-details
