Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Lesser known things about transness:

- you do not have to experience dysphoria to be trans
- you do not need to "know" that you are trans your entire life
- you do not need to change your body or presentation in any way to be trans
- transfeminine people on hormones grow breasts (among many other feminizing changes)
- transmasculine people on hormones grow facial hair (among many other masculinizing changes)
- transness is different from sexuality; just like anyone else, trans people can have any kind of sexuality
- there is so much joy in transitioning and being yourself
- there is no particular look or way of being as a trans person. Sometimes online discourse flattens and narrows the apparent
trans experience to stereotypes.
- it is never too late to transition!!

The attitudes to #Transgender folk were different even amongst #Trans folk.
Transvestite was the common term.

Is it transphobic.
Without the context, yes.

But for me, it was one of a few trans themed work of art in public space and I really, really appreciated it.

It was actually liberating.

Trans girls have until 6th September to leave the girlguides UK.

Let me rephrase that.
Girlidguides UK are about to lose a shit ton of members.
