It's Trans Day of Visibility today and we're sending love and solidarity to trans people everywhere - whether you're able to be open about being trans or not.

It's also the 5th birthday of our website! Yes, our website launched on 31st March 2020 and was the catalyst for TransActual becoming the organisation that it is today.

One of our first pages was our crowd-sourced definition of transphobia: transactual.org.uk/transphobia

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!

Especially in these times when our trans siblings in the United States and in several other countries are under extreme pressure to become invisible, it is important for us, who have the privilege of being able to be visible, to be visible! So today at the office, I'm going all out.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3/30: Do you label your works as LGBTQIA+? Why or why not?

I call Ruarnon Trilogy #LGBTQIA+ or queer led #fantasy. The MC Ruarnon happens to be #nonbinary, and aromantic, and asexual (so am I 😉 ), and the second major pov (Linh) is also #aromantic and #asexual. These are not common identities and I want people to know that rep (and other queer rep) is there.

But how much to emphasise it when the plot focuses on friendship, adventure, mystery, action, war etc? I don't know.

Eine absolut großartige TV-Sendung von 1989 aus den USA. Interessant vor allem wegen "Toby", inzwischen besser bekannt mit dem echten Namen als Jim Sinclair.

Sinclair ist intergeschlechtlich und erklärt nichtbinär - "I remain openly and proudly neuter, both physically and socially" Quelle. Ausserdem autistisch und in dieser Richtung seit den 1990ern ganz besonders aktivistisch unterwegs. Das kommt in der Sendung noch nicht so raus. Etwas deutlicher wird, dass Sinclair auch asexuell ist.

Ich bin absolut beeindruckt, wie klar und schlagfertig Sinclair alles beantwortet. Auch die Nachfragen dieses Psychiaters, der hartnäckig wissen will, wie Sinclairs Chromosomen sind. Sinclair: "Wenn ich ohne Augen geboren worden wäre und Sie mir sagen, 'ja wenn du welche hättest, dann wären sie grün', welchen Unterschied würde das machen".

Fünf kurze Teile, alles englisch, ich hab es sehr gefeiert. So weit war es schon mal 1989. Leider leider sähe das heute immer noch nicht viel anders aus.

Es gibt noch mehr von Sinclair zu Intergeschlechtlichkeit, zu Sexualität und warum das irgendwie ganz schon seltsam ist 🤩
