I made a lot of progress with my depression these past weeks and am finally motivated to read and write again.
I've started writing an #AutoBiography a long time ago, to cope with what I've been through, but also to release it one day.

I'd love to let other people contribute chapters to my book. Essays on various topics that come up in my story.

So now I'm asking you all, if there is anyone who could think of writing such an essay for me, because you are affected by the topic yourself, or are an expert in the field.
Or if you know someone, who would be perfect for that topic.

Here are a few of the topics:
#depression
#GenderIdentity
#asexuality
#SurveillanceCapitalism
#Fediverse ( @ueckueck, you said you might write that one, still interested?)
#SocialPhobia
#WTFromance
#SelfHarm
#suicidality

There are other topics as well, but I already have people in mind who I'll directly ask to write essays about them; especially topics around #ClimateJustice.

The essays should be at least 2-5 pages long and provide a general gist about the topic, but ideally also contain something personal, like what the topic means to you.
Written in #English or #German.

Preliminary deadline is summer '24, but a lot can change until then and if you need longer, don't worry.

Please :boost: #boost. Thanks. ❤️

Well it seems Germany is on the right path to expanding its rights for the #TransCommunity. They will be reducing restrictions for trans individuals when changing their name and gender. They will be able to do this without jumping through the current red tape and such. A step in the right direction I would say, all countries should follow suit.

I shouted at my mother, “Of course, little girls can have a penis! I have one!” She had just told me I couldn’t be a girl. I was three, and this was 1965.

Researchers from King's College London conducted a survey among 600 people and found the majority of women were more likely to gain online security advice from friends and family than helpful internet resources. Dr Kovila Coopamootoo, lecturer in computer science, said it highlighted "the gender norms at play in online safety and the role that gender identity plays in staying safe online.”

I think I have found the next minor, but still feels major, milestone to aim for - wear nail polish :-).

Don't know how long it will take to get to that milestone...

(The reason it "feels major", is that I spent most of my life strongly preferring to not be perceived in public. Changing this feels scary... so small steps.)

#GenderIdentity

PSA

If you currently identify as a cis man or cis woman, but:

• You have recurring thoughts of being a different gender.
• You would be a different gender, if given the choice.
• You wouldn't be fussed if you magically woke up one day as a different gender.

... you might be interested to know that this isn't a common thing for cis folks to do 😅

Under an expanded #Florida rule, instruction on #GenderIdentity & #SexualOrientation is now restricted in most cases through 12th grade. The #FloridaDepartmentOfEducation had asked the #CollegeBoard & other providers of advanced, college-level courses to search their offerings for potential violations.

But the College Board said that it would not modify its content, & that any course that did not address gender & sexual orientation should not be labeled “#AdvancedPlacement.”

AP psychology course can’t be offered over gender identity, sexual orientation lessons, College Board says https://bit.ly/3YmQPwq

#Republicans are obsessed with this culture war to the point of absurdity. Can’t teach about gender and sexual orientation in AN AP PSYCH CLASS!? What 👏 the 👏 fuck 👏

#gender #genderidentity #psychology #Florida #GOP #politics

"To be clear, any AP Psychology course taught in Florida will violate either Florida law or college requirements. Therefore, we advise Florida districts not to offer AP Psychology until Florida reverses their decision and allows parents and students to choose to take the full course." https://newsroom.collegeboard.org/statement-ap-psychology-and-florida

Federal Judge Denies A "Right To Bully" #Trans Students In #Ohio

A federal judge ruled this weekend that students do not have a "right to bully" transgender students by misgendering them and harassing them over their #genderidentity.

Here's a rockin' guitar instrumental tune that I did a year ago inspired by transgender visibility.
