The Cass Review was not only dismissive of trans identities, but it infantilised #autistic people, suggesting we don’t know our own minds until our 20s.

Join Ely Pride to protest the recent Supreme Court ruling that the term Female relates only to gender assigned at birth. This is a huge step backwards for trans rights, safety and inclusion.
We will be meeting Monday 28th April at 7pm on Market Square, Ely
When you were a child, were all stories and lessons and observations involving animals of indeterminate sex gender cast?
This is a big problem for everyone. I still catch myself doing it. Referring to a bird, a lizard, a snake, as a he/him (primary gender casting is masculine, except for stereotypical animals like cats or flamingos 
- which were almost certainly she).
This is awesome! 
Whoever created this can only have given the rights to fucking Disney so Disney wouldn't release it, which created a scandal and a lot of buzz, so as many people as possible watched it.
The ReFrame Stamp
Awarded in partnership with IMDbPro, the ReFrame Stamp is a mark of distinction for feature film projects that demonstrate a commitment to gender equity through inclusive hiring and reporting.
In collaboration with Women In Film (formerly Women in Film Los Angeles) (WIF) & the Sundance Institute, the ReFrame Stamp is now available in Australia thanks to WIFT Australia and Screen Australia’s Gender Matters Taskforce.
This stamp celebrates studios, networks, & creatives that have demonstrated measurable progress towards parity when developing, producing, financing, and marketing their product – through the hiring of women or people of under-represented gender identities in at least 50% of key roles.
A dozen #teachers from the #GreaterVictoriaTeachersAssociation are expected to show up for a #rally supporting the #LGBTQ+ community at the #BClegislature on Friday.
The rally is one of a series of events across #Canada that day to counter what local organizers from the groups #1MillionVoicesForInclusion and Finn’s Future call the “transphobic rhetoric” of a previous 1 Million March for Children, which opposes teaching on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity or #SOGI in schools.
The teachers will be advocating for SOGI education prior to the noon #Celebration of #QueerExistence rally.
SOGI in schools has generated protests in #BritishColumbia which #GVTA president Carolyn Howe said was part of the reason the #BCgovernment recently brought in rules to keep protesters off school grounds.
She said she doesn’t know of any such protests at local schools, but noted there has been “a worrying uptick in very vocal opposition to -inclusive practices around #GenderDiversity, both in schools and in the wider community.”
“Victoria schools have #queer staff, parents, students and we want everyone in the #2sLGTBQIA+ community to know we stand together.”

#Minneapolis #powwow celebrates belonging for #TwoSpirit, #queer community
#TwoSpiritPowwow invites natives to dress and dance on their own terms.
By Auds Jenkins
June 23, 2023
"Em Matson leaned intently over a long table to arrange the delicate pieces of water lily appliqué.
"Amid the mechanical whir of sewing machines and the lively chatter during a community regalia making night, Matson zeroed in on the task at hand: finishing their ribbon pants in time for the Two Spirit Powwow.
"On Saturday, New Native Theater will sponsor Minneapolis' second annual 'Reclaiming Our Identities' Two Spirit Powwow, part of a burgeoning movement of powwows across the country that honor Two Spirit and #indigiqueer (Indigenous and queer) people.
"'I can't wait to see everybody turn out. I know that if you come specifically to this powwow, it means you support our community,' said Wase Mannidu Ikwe, a Two Spirit person of the Rocky Boy Chippewa Cree Tribe. 'It's nice to see our allies. As Two Spirits, we make large impacts in the native community. We are valid.'
"'Two Spirit' is an umbrella term derived from the #Anishnaabe '#NiizhManidoowag' (literally translated as "two spirits") that describes native people who exist outside the #GenderBinary and hold sacred roles in their communities.
"Popularized by activists in the 1990s, the term honors multiplicity within native conceptions of gender identity and spirituality. It also reflects a pre-colonial legacy of gender diversity that is being reclaimed today.
"'Prior to European #colonization, #GenderDiversity was the norm for many tribes. Gender was based on your roles and responsibilities, not what you looked like,' said Matson, a Two Spirit of the Sault Ste. Marie Ojibwe and one of the organizers of Minneapolis' Two Spirit Powwow.
"In the months leading up to the powwow, organizers have hosted regalia-making nights for local Two Spirit and indigiqueer folks to make ceremonial clothing that authentically represents their identities.
"'Our goal was for you to come and make whatever makes you feel comfortable,' said organizer Beth Seidl of the White Earth Band of Chippewa. 'We wanted everyone to feel safe, without any chance of someone coming by and saying, 'You're a boy. Why are you making a ribbon skirt?' if that's not how they identify."

If you are an event/conference whose primary focus is #inclusion, it would be great if the mandatory field for gender during sign-up had more than two options.

AABA Statement in Support of Trans Lives
"The American Association of Biological Anthropologists, the American Association of Anthropological Genetics, the Dental Anthropology Association, the Paleopathology Association, The PaleoAnthropology Society, the Biological Anthropology Section of the American Anthropological Association, and the Human Biology Association stand together against the escalating legislation and governance in the United States and across the globe that attacks the existence of transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse peoples. We affirm the power of all persons to make the ultimate decisions over what happens to our/their own bodies. We oppose legislation that is rooted in and maintains rigid binary conceptions of sex and gender which impact reproductive justice and access to care for everyone. We condemn the biological essentialism driving much of this legislation. As biological anthropologists, we condemn the historical role of our discipline in producing binaries of sex, gender, and sexuality and are committed to work that enacts a more livable world. ..."

Around 10% of #mothers have quit their job due to problems with balancing #childcare & #work, while around 40% have foregone #promotion or other career development opportunities for the same reason... so, we can see how structural #sexism (reinforced by Govt. policies) is affecting #women in the workplace.
When we talk about #genderdiversity in the workplace (highlighted by Helen MacNamara at the #CovidInquiry), here is one key mechanism that causes the problem!

But seriously, I buy any female imperial guard models they make because I like to encourage GW to continue adding gender diversity to the game. But I do wish more would be added to the regular line instead of these limited releases.
General Creed is great, but I could use more women instead of yet another marine lieutenant.
