  2. #HintonburgON - #Ottawa #TransLibrary

    "The Ottawa Trans Library is a library and community space for trans and gender non-conforming folks. It consists of a lending library on #trans and #GenderIssues and by trans and #GenderDiverse authors and a small #OttawaTransArchives. Visit the OTL at 1104 Somerset St. West in Hintonburg.

    Hours are:

    Saturday 12 pm to 5pm
    Monday, and Thursday 3 pm to 7 pm
    Wednesday 12 pm to 5 pm

    In addition to regular hours, the OTL holds events at other times. For complete info, visit the library site at ottawatranslibrary.ca/.

    You can also check out the front page appearance in the Ottawa Citizen.

    The lending library consists of books by trans authors, as well as historical, important and interesting works on trans issues and people. I am also interested in acquiring transphobic titles. If you have a collection of trans books or periodicals gathering dust in your basement that you would consider #deaccessioning (that’s a respectful term for 'getting rid of'), please get in touch with me. We will also be building the collection through purchase.

    The library has four separate sitting areas, a free coffee and tea station and free WiFi, of course. You don’t need to borrow a book. Meet your friends or talk to the librarian. A safe space with no pressure or judgments. There is only one rule: be respectful of others."

  3. CW: NZPol Puberty blockers MoH

    "A document intended to outline the ministry’s position on the hormone treatment has been delayed multiple times since its intended release date
    ...
    The brief is expected to lay out the ministry’s and ultimately the government’s official position on the safety and availability of puberty blockers for young people. Currently, puberty blockers can be prescribed by a clinician once someone reaches puberty. "

  4. If the bear attacks me, no one will ask what I was wearing.

    Feminist Collages NYC: In a debate that has now gone viral, women were asked whether they’d rather be stuck in the woods with a man or a bear. Everything we painted was found in comments sections. Which is heartbreaking to say the least

    Follow Feminist Collages NYC on Instagram.

    A bear wouldn’t film it and send it to all of his friends.

    If I survive the bear attack, I won’t have to see the bear at family reunions.

    No one will say I liked the bear attack.

    If the bear and the man both want to hurt me and I scream loud enough, there’s a better chance the bear will run away.

    The bear doesn’t get enjoyment out of it.

  5. This past weekend, a group of women invited me to the MET to see the "Women Dressing Women" fashion exhibit.

    15 years ago I would have assumed this invitation was a backhanded insult. I've had a very strained relationship with women & femininity throughout my life. I am grateful to have reached a place both where I can trust the amazing women who have recently entered my life, and also explore parts of femininity in a way that feels comfortable for me. 💕

  6. CW: Introduction

    So many new people!

    Hi there, my name is Ravna Marin Siever, I'm a white, autistic, disabled, non binary lesbian and parent of three to five kids.
    I wrote a book on #GenderCreativeParenting (published in German only as of now).
    I live in Berlin, Germany in a polyamourous patchwork family.

    I'm most likely to toot about #GenderCreativeParenting, #GenderIssues in general, #disability & #autism and boost more than I write myself.

    Welcome <3

  7. Sometimes people come to me with concerns about the fact they feel they are in the wrong body. That they should be in a male or female body instead.

    As a therapist who can be psychic and is empathic -

    Sometimes as I am interacting with them I am seeing and feeling one or more of their past lives and how they had the body they are currently longing for in those lives.

    If the realities of reincarnation were discussed more openly in the social narrative of discourse in society people might have a wider perspective on the things they are dealing with in life.

  8. I wonder how many single parents (many female-identified) would be able to participate in politics to make positive changes in society if childcare wasn't an issue?

    (I'm not actually asking. I'm making a flip question because this is an equity issue that has long gone unaddressed)
