I just made the switch from Gmail to Proton. I've had Gmail since 1999 (when it was still in beta). But no more. I'll be gradually moving away from using Google services. A few years ago I did the same with Apple, forwarding emails from there to Gmail. Now it all forwards to Proton.

Proton is based in Switzerland and emails on Proton are end-to-end encrypted and everything, even your calendar and contacts, are stored encrypted. Meaning, if they get served a warrant, there's really nothing they can turn over.

This is especially important in a country that is increasingly criminalizing the very existence of myself and people like me. Get your data out of the US and stored securely. It has never been more important. If not for yourself, then for the people you know.

Bruce Coville says, 'To support “Trans Day of Visibility” and my trans friends, I am offering this story, which I wrote in 1998 for an anthology edited by Lisa Rowe Fraustino called “DIRTY LAUNDRY: Stories about Family Secrets” It is, to the best of my knowledge, the first Trans-positive story ever published for the YA Market.' It's a hard read with possible triggers, but powerful.

Quilt activism 🏳️‍⚧️ in the news -

"Who would you be if you had the freedom to live into the fullness of who you are?

That’s the question a new art installation put to transgender and nonbinary Americans across the country, asking them to weave all their joys, frustrations and hopes into more than 250 panels that will form a massive quilt"

One thing I was planning on writing for #TransDayOfVisibility is that a few weeks ago I tried hinting to a trusted friend that my pronouns weren't what she expects. It didn't go as planned. Somehow I think she came out of that conversation even more sure I'm cis, but a good trans ally. I know I'm not the first, and I'm not sure about the second.

Coincidentally found one of my older sketchbooks(which has a lot of empty pages in it so yay don't have to buy a new one) on the day of trans visibility. I originally did this as something quick for pride when I was sick, but still feel the same way.

octo got nothing on #TransDayOfVisibility but a report on her first mutual aid post she managed to make in an entire month. it's clear how badly people would rather her dead. octo is in debt from not meeting the last 3 months goals. she can't afford to eat & is battling suicidal ideation. she wants to live & escape abuse. there's nothing wrong with needing support in a society that murders people like her. please give her the flowers she deserves.

Since the Fediverse is a place I found several incredible trans people which I learned and I'm still learning from, I want to ask if this ironic image of Putin with Le Pen's hair is transphobic. I thought it was just an irony with the reaction of some far-right politicians, but I might be wrong. It's a genuine question.

Kopfschmerzbedingt bestand mein Trans day of visibility gestern nur daraus, dass ich bei der Lohnarbeit einen trans Pride Pin an der Mütze hatte und einen Pulli mit einem Aufdruck einer Blume und der Aufschrift "Be brave, be kind, be true, be you", alles in den Farben der trans Flagge. Übersetzt heißt der Aufdruck "Sei mutig, sei nett, sei echt, sei du"
Mir ist es wichtig, im Alltag als transfeminine Person sichtbar zu sein. Grade bei der Lohnarbeit bin ich viel im ländlichen Raum in Sachsen und Thüringen unterwegs. Hier bin ich für viele meiner Kund*innen wahrscheinlich die einzige trans Person, mit der sie zu tun haben. Und wenn sie durch mich merken, dass wir auch einfach nur Menschen sind, die ihr Leben leben wollen, und nicht so, wie wir in Comedy Serien und Filmen dargestellt werden, hilft das vielleicht, Transfeindlichkeit in der Gesellschaft abzubauen. Meiner Erfahrung nach kommt Transfeindlichkeit oft auch einfach durch Unwissenheit, schädliche Darstellung in den Medien und dadurch, dass es einfach das Unbekannte ist, womit eins im Alltag nichts zu tun hat.
Ich bin sichtbar und nehme auch alle Risiken und Gefahren bewusst in Kauf, damit es die nachfolgenden Generationen ein bisschen leichter haben :neocat_flag_trans:

For my drive I picked out Elliott Page's memoir.

I know a celebrity is not a typical trans experience but the preview pulled me in. I hope it's a good listen.

I probably was influenced by #TransDayOfVisibility

I don't know why conservative minds categorize certain groups as unacceptable. I understand why right wing politicians rely on scapegoats to rile up voters & distract them from economic inequality.

When I lack understanding I crave education to fill the gaps in my experience.

I posted to meow.social about this for TDOV already, but to no avail.

I'm a (literally)starving nonbinary shitposter and occasional artist who recently got out of the psychiatric hospital and I need money if I don't want to end up back in there. I have no income, and no money saved up, and my life is getting increasingly difficult

Bonus: If you have a fursona and donate $5 or more I'll try using them for anatomy practice. No guarantees on when though, and they have to be kinda simple
