2024: Let's Push For Conversion Therapy To Be Banned In Australia.

2024: let's push for conversion therapy to be banned in Australia.

LGBTQIA+ rights in Australia still have a long way to go. Conversion therapy for example is still legal in most places in Australia. Victoria and the ACT have banned it for anyone to do, but Queensland has only banned it for healthcare providers - meaning religious organisations and groups can still legally continue this abusive and harmful practice. That needs to be changed.

Every other state and territory has yet to act.

SO LET'S TAKE SOME ACTION!

Find and support LGBTQIA+ advocacy groups, like Equality Australia, and use their resources to understand what's happening and what needs to change.

Email your representatives both on a state and federal level. Demand action. Also email the Ministers for Health, the PM/Premier/Chief Minister, and anyone else you think is relevant. Demand change. Make them aware that this is an important issue and it could lose them votes if they don't act.

Spread awareness! Talk to people directly to tell them to do the same, make social media posts telling people why this matters and what to do, and get the message out through various means like TikTok, youtube, instagram, etc. This must be a collective effort and the only way to do that is to make sure many people know and care. If you see one TikTok about emailing MPs then you might think about it, but if you see two or three about the same issue then it starts to really reach people and encourages them to do the same.

Organise with your friends to learn more and help each other. Unsure how to write an email to MPs? Work together to draft templates and share them around. Unsure how to approach others about how to talk about this issue? Chat with friends about how to go about introducing this topic in conversation. Want to know more? Share articles together to keep each other up to date and informed.

Repeat, repeat, repeat! Sustained effort is key. This might be as simple as setting a calendar reminder to yourself to send a follow up email in month's time, and then another month's time, etc. You haven't forgotten. The law hasn't changed - so don't let MPs forget either. This is a cruel injustice that must be fixed and it's up to our elected MPs to learn that fixing it should be a priority. Follow up with people after a month or two. Have they emailed MPs? Is it time to make a new video/post? Are there any new petitions to sign?

Together, we can build pressure and work together to bring this to the forefront of MPs' minds.

We're going to get this fucking fixed.

Please reblog!

As promised in the comments of the binder master list, I'm now compiling a more all-encompassing free resource public spreadsheet! So far I've got resources for binders, packers, STP devices, gaffs/tucking underwear, gender-affirming clothing, some DIY gender-affirming gear, and some resources on how to clean that gear and how to clean up makeup spills. I'll try to keep expanding things, and feel free to request a type of resource or a specific location in the comments or in an ask! (I can't promise I'll be able to find anything, but I'll do my best! <3)

The spreadsheet is called "Study sheet" to make it more inconspicuous in case someone you'd rather didn't catches a glimpse of the title. Do please note that once you're on the spreadsheet it is very obvious what the content is, so only view it when it's safe for you to do so! <3

Before you click on the link to the spreadsheet:

Some links to videos on how to conceal and delete your history for those who need it (blue text indicates a link)

How to Clear your Youtube watch history (kinda loud at the start and actual info starts at about 1:33

How to Remove Shared Files from Google Drive

how to activate incognito mode on an Iphone , on an Android phone and on chrome on a computer.

And How to delete your Google activity history

Remember to delete your Youtube history after watching!

*Edit* I've added a new section for miscellaneous resource requests to serve as a semi-temporary place for more niche topics that I get resource requests for. If I get more requests for them or find more resources related to the topic I'll make a new separate section for them, but otherwise they can just stay there.

Remember: y'all can comment, tag, or if you want/need it to be more discreet you can send me an anonymous ask. I may not be able to find what you want, but I won't judge you <3

i love trans people with "freaky" genders. i love trans people with "boring" genders. i love trans people with genders they don't even fully understand, genders that change, genders that are static, genders that are binary, genders that are obscure, and genders that are more than one of these things at once. i love trans people feeling free and open to express themselves and being happy to share their gender with the world regardless of what it is. i love trans people feeling empowered and passionate and refusing not to share their gender with the world regardless of what it is.

i love deeply dysphoric trans people. i love trans people who are learning to share themselves in small ways. i love trans people who jump between self-love and self-hatred on a daily basis, trans people who are only safe to be themselves inside their homes, and trans people who are only safe to be themselves inside their heads.

are you a scenecoric transmasculine lesbian? amazing. i love you. are you a binary trans man? fabulous. i love you. an agender high-fem queer? a transfeminine gay man? a system with both cis and trans alters? a binary trans woman? a voidgender nblm transmasc? a trans man who is considering he might be nonbinary? a nonbinary person who is considering they might be a trans woman? are you just plainly Not Cis in a way you can't describe? incredible. fantastic. fucking effervescent. i'm obsessed.

forget valid, fuck valid. your gender is worth celebrating. it's amazing. it's actively cool as hell that you are who you are.

REBLOG IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR AROMANTIC PEOPLE AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE VALID

I am Aromantic but i wanna see how ppl think we are valid

I’m Getting Evicted For Being Trans & I Need Help.

i’m getting evicted for being trans & I need help.

hey guys. my name’s chris. i was born christina. from the time I was five years old, I knew I was trans. and I spent my high school years being picked on for being too boyish. Art was my escape. Through art, I could draw my body exactly how I wanted it to look.

This year I turned 18, and finally told my mom and dad I’m trans. I wanted to do it before Christmas, so I could spend my first Christmas out of hiding. I knew my parents would be upset, but I didn’t expect them to kick me out.

Sadly, they turned on me. they said they loved me, but that i’d be a bad influence on my five-year-old brother. a big part of me is relieved that I’ll be out of the house, but the other part of me is freaking the fuck out. i’m jobless and broke. i have three more weeks before I have to pay rent and groceries all on my own. I’ll be looking for a job, but in the meantime I'm desperate to have the security of a month’s rent.

Please PLEASE help me. if you can even give $5 … it will help so much.

PLEASE DONATE HERE and spread the word.

on transfeminine modes of dress

hi, if you'll do me a little favor and spread my little survey around i'd be grateful. i'm interviewing trans women on how they feel about dressing, as i want my final project at school, a five-look runway collection to be released next year, to be considerate of transfeminine bodies. so i'd appreciate your response! (i can release the responses at the end if y'all are curious.) and if you're not a trans woman, please do reblog this to help it spread round to someone who is. ^_^

I need help

My father is going to kick me out due to not helping out around the house enough, I have severe executive dysfunction and I can barely take care of my own room alone, I'm planning to move out and live with my partner but I don't have enough money saved up because art isn't doing very well right now

I'm 20 and only have 500 dollars to my name right now, I can't get a 'real job' like he wants from me
