    La #chanteuse #néerlandaise #SophieStraat souhaitait créer un « #safespace » lors de son concert : demander aux « #hommes #blancs » de reculer pour laisser les premiers rangs aux « #filles, #queers et personnes de couleur»

    👇

    Trier les gens pour ce qu’ils sont, c’est de la #discrimination; demander à une personne de « reculer » pour sa couleur de peau : c’est du #racisme.

  11. WELCOME TO OUR QRIB

    Willow River Centre and Spectrum’s Black, Racialized and Indigenous Queers (BRIQ) House are co-organizing a series of events called QRIB (Queer, Racialized, Indigenous and Black) community hangouts to help foster a safer community for self-identifying queer, racialized, Indigenous and Black individuals. 

    The two organizations started hosting these hangouts last year from Aug. 9 to Dec 13. Initially focused on karaoke, the hangouts have since evolved to include other community-focused activities like bonfires and discussion circles. 

    The name “QRIB” is a play on words for the word crib and was chosen to evoke a sense of home or gathering space. The Willow-River Centre, an event venue based in Kitchener, played a key role by offering a space designed for the Indigenous and racialized queer population, incorporating culturally specific elements, local art and non-hierarchical, healing-focused community values, instead of clinical or colonial support models. 

    “They bring a sense of safety for a lot of Indigenous and queer people locally,” Karla Gomez, a facilitator of the QRIB hangout, said.  

    Spectrum provides funding and support, including food and resources at hangouts. Though the organization wasn’t initially inclusive, recent leadership changes made it more committed to reconciliation and community prioritization.  

    “The hangouts are non-hierarchical, free, and community-led, fostering healing and connection in ways that feel safe and liberating to those involved,” Roni Noodle, a director of the QRIB hangouts, said. 

    Noodle also explained how QRIB is unique in Kitchener-Waterloo, and no other local spaces offer the same intersectional support for 2SLGBTQIA+ and racialized individuals. Noodle described BRIQ House as another supportive space for Indigenous and queer people in the area but noted it holds a different relationship with the community compared to Willow River Centre. Although Spectrum started hosting QRIB hangouts to create a more inclusive space, it’s not a space designed for racialized, Black and Indigenous individuals. Even though they’re attempting to change, they decided a partnership with Willow River Centre will help them. 

    “It’s a space where you don’t need to translate your soul. It’s designed with you in mind,” Roni said.  

    They said that people from within the racialized or queer community are not always comfortable in public spaces and they do not feel acknowledged or seen, but this is a space where those individuals can feel comfort and express themselves more freely. 

    Noodle explained that last year’s QRIB hangouts went very well. However, Spectrum’s director changed earlier this year and the two organizations were not sure if they had funding for the hangouts this year. However, the new director was very supportive of the events. 

    “Events like this are too important to the community for us not to prioritize funding for it,” Gomez said.  

    She said events such as the QRIB hangout need to exist, saying that Spectrum continues to show commitment to supporting these hangouts, by applying for funding for racialized Indigenous Queers. 

    These events have had a successful turnout so far, with returning participants and new individuals joining the hangout, these events also address local issues revolving around the racialized, queer, and Indigenous communities such as peer support, food insecurity, loneliness, and isolation.

  12. J.K. Rowling sagt, jeden Euro den sie an Harry Potter verdient, wird sie dazu einsetzen, Transitionen zu verunmöglichen und trans Personen zurück in den Schrank zu drängen, aus dem einst Harry Potter gekrochen ist.

    Dies sagt eine Frau, die, wie sie selbst zugegeben hat, gerne selbst ein Mann wäre. Sie hasst uns, weil wir das sind, was sie nicht geschafft hat und niemals schaffen wird, nämlich frei.

    WICHTIG:

  14. We will be showing all of our ribbon skirts, along with past ribbon skirt workshop participants, at the joint #TruthAndReconciliation special evening event, co-hosted by #SNIWWOC & #KWENCH on September 30th.

    Event Info:

    SNIWWOC will be hosting our annual Truth and Reconciliation event at KWENCH bringing #community members together for an evening of #education, #togetherness, and #remembrance for Truth and Reconciliation in #VictoriaBC on September 30th 2024, 5:30-7:30pm PST.

    #JoinUs to learn about the sacred #Indigenous practice of #RibbonSkirt making and the significance it holds within the Indigenous community. You will have the unique opportunity to view these beautiful skirts made by BC Indigenous/Indigenous BIPOC individuals, and learn about the importance of continuing these traditions.

    You will also have the privilege to #WitnessTestimony from #ResidentialSchoolSurvivors, the ones who did not make it as well as for honoring all #IndigenousCommunities.

    Truth and Reconciliation, also known as #OrangeShirtDay, is a reminder of what was done in #Canadian history that impacted the #IndigenousPeople, and continues to impact generations of Indigenous communities. On this day we highlight how the conversation needs to be continued as a step for #healing and #reconciliation.

    SNIWWOC would like to take this time and day to #honor the people and their #culture that was lost. You will hear from a variety of #IndigenousSpeakers, #CommunityElders, and be witness to #SacredKnowledge, in the #SafeSpace that we will hold for all that would like to be part of this experience.

    We are looking forward to seeing everyone, celebrating and giving a voice for those who could not. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!

  16. ‼️ AUCH DU KANNST ES SCHAFFEN ‼️

    Heute möchte ich Euch einmal zeigen, wie stolz ich auf mich bin. Ich mache seit meinem #ComingOut jeden Tag #Selfies, einfach um selbst meinen #Fortschritt sehen zu können, aber auch weil ich einfach unglaublich #stolz bin auf die #Frau, die aus mir geworden ist.

    Bisher habe ich hier im #Fediverse tatsächlich noch keine #Collage gepostet. Das habe ich bisher tatsächlich nur auf Facebook getan. Aber ich habe hier so viele liebe Menschies* um mich herum. Und Euch möchte ich das nun auch endlich einmal zeigen.

    Das erste Bild oben links war Alex. Alex war damals 43 Jahre alt. Das Bild entstand damals als Bewerbungsfoto, weil ich damals arbeitslos war.

    Zwei Monate nach diesem Bewerbungsfoto hatte ich mein ComingOut und von dem Tag an, war ich 100% die Frau, die ich schon immer war. Es gab niemals ein Zurück, ein Zögern oder ein Zweifeln.

    Seit April 2016 war ich dann in der Begleittherapie, seit Juni 2016 hatte ich meine Hormone und im Januar 2018 hatte ich meine erste Geschlechtsangleichende Operation.

    Heute bin ich unglaublich stolz. Stolz darauf, es geschafft zu haben.

    In diesem Jahr werde ich 52 Jahre jung. Man kann es kaum glauben.

    Liebe Grüße
    Christin
