The Trans Youth Sexual Health booklet was produced by trans people aged 16-24 at Gendered Intelligence, in partnership with Terrence Higgins Trust. The project allowed young trans people to get together as a group and learn about sexual health, and also to discuss how to make sexual health information more relevant to trans people. As a result, a group of young people produced this information booklet, which is aimed at trans youth and their partners.

Check out the full pdf here. Hard copies can be ordered here.

this is really good.

Brilliant.

Why I hate it when other white people say the phrase: "I'm not racist"

dead-dog-fred:

Because I still am one. Because it never goes away. Because as a white person, I have absorbed messages for my entire life that I am better than the majority of people on earth, I have absorbed messages telling me that the only lives worth caring about are the ones belonging…

We have to give people the space to be complex and problematic. We all embody contradictions and we’re all frequently very wrong. By extension, you must let yourself make mistakes and fuck up. You are just as un-saintlike, problematic and complex as everyone else.

I’ve been introduced to this amazing new band in Japan, called ziyoou vachi.

The lead singer is a black and Japanese trans girl, and her sister is also in it, as the drummer (I bleevs the drummer, but you’ll recognize them both off the bat).

But lemme tell you? This girl is a damn good performer and I loved this video and I loved the mix of lows and highs and everything about this video makes me happy, pretty much.

Only crit is that the lead singer clearly has medium brown skin, but every time they show her, she’s been paled out so much in the video that the one point they actually show her real skin tone I didn’t even RECOGNIZE HER.

Mostly a good job, but can we let the lead singer have her NATURALLY brown skin please? Kthx.

Oh, and for those who can’t read Japanese, I’ll leave their names here:

Vocalist: Avu-chan
Bass: Yashi-chan
Drummer: Ruri-chan
Guitar: Gigi-chan

I  love….I love this.

I can’t get enough of this song, you don’t even know.

I love this so much and for so many reasons! Eeeeeeeee!  I like it even more every time I listen! :D

Pro-Tip: Cis women are not the only people who can become pregnant, use birth control, or need abortions.

ladyatheist:

This so called “war on women” is not just a war on cis women. It’s a war on anyone who needs access to safe, affordable, and accessible healthcare. If we want to make any real progress, we need to stop ignoring and erasing the experiences of trans*, genderqueer, intersex, and other nonbinary people.
