FINALLY posting this after working on it for what seemed like weeks worth of morning art streams!

This is a callout post to every other #Lesbian on the fediverse like myself that fits this stereotype, especially the transbians.

I was going to put it off for a bit longer, but this seems like a decent way to celebrate the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia ( #IDAHOBIT )

Might post a text-less version of the image later, along with some closer-up views of some of those background details, because we spent a LOT of time on those on-stream.

Today in LGBTQ History, May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). This date was chosen to commemorate the 1990 decision to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2009, the WHO added transphobia to the name of the campaign, and organized activities that year to highlight and end. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of violence, discrimination, and repression of LGBT communities throughout the world.

We’ve got the Tillyvision sign! And that means it’s time for THE INTENTIONAL (!) TRANS ALLEGORY OF #BARBIE (the movie), PART 7!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

The #EBU are hoping that this whole 'Israel issue' now gets forgotten about, after they only got them up to fifth place.

If you boycotted #Eurovision this time as some pro-Palestine stance, don't expect them to do a mea culpa. They'll just push on, and do all the same for 2025.

Also, on them banning the non-binary flag as 'political' - that's no surprise to me, as they already in the past (seems 2016) tried to ban the classic (not Progress) Pride Flag, for the same reason.

David Tennant: “I remember gay rights being weaponised politically. That always felt ugly & nasty… 30 years later & those people are clearly on the wrong side of history. Now there is a similar weaponisation of these topics… to create friction & conflict & division where it needn’t be. It’s just about people being themselves. You don’t need to be bothered about it. F**k off & let people be”

“help combat the rise of gender-neutral toilet spaces”

Yep, that’s the problem right there. Not climate change. Not Israel live streaming a fucking genocide with the support of the West. Not anything else. The rise of gender-neutral toilets is the real threat here, folks. Straight from a conservative’s mouth so you know it must be true.

Fuck these people.
