TRANS YOUTH ARE LOVED 🩷🏳️⚧️ Content warning: suicidal thoughts Joining the #transyouthareloved campaign by sharing a piece of art. This campaign is needed more than ever – with attacks on the rights of trans+ people in the UK and around the world. These attacks harm the lives of trans+ people, and in particular, trans+ youth: Just Like Us in their Growing Up LGBT+ report found that 88% of trans youth are having suicidal thoughts. But there is hope. They also found that pupils whose schools had positive messaging about being LGBT+ also had reduced suicidal thoughts and feelings – regardless of whether they are LGBT+ or not. This is why we need more messages of hope for trans+ youth. Get involved by sharing a short video message, photo, piece of art, sharing the message; Trans Youth Are Loved. And make sure you use #transyouthareloved Thank you Nancy Kelley, Jude Guaitamacchi, 🏳️⚧️Marty Davies, Alex Parmar-Yee, Kit Monrey for all your incredible work within the Trans Solidarity Alliance and with Trans People Are Loved for bringing us this very much-needed campaign.

Can you trust anyone to do justice to Trans+ youth, or reverse years of harmful policies this election? This week in the QueerAF explainer we're reposting our collaboration with DIVA Magazine and Trans+ History Week CIC - the Queer Election Watch. This week Nancy Kelley looks at how misinformation and scaremongering about trans+ children has become commonplace in our press and politics over recent years as part of the so-called “culture wars”. So much so that the policies that impact trans+ children and young people, such as gender-affirming healthcare, sex education and inclusion in schools, have come under enormous pressure to deliver culture war priorities. "This is clearly disproportionate and unfair: trans+ children and young people are a small and vulnerable population." So how are the different parties approaching this?

Just over one month ago we had our inaugural poetry event, 'Transcending Words'. We came together as a community at the wonderful Common Press Bookshop, London’s first consciously queer intersectional bookshop. It was a SOLD OUT intimate evening of prose, punchlines and progress, along with a bit of spoken word, from some of the most exciting trans+ talent out there. We laughed, we cried, and we felt held by each other. It sold out so quickly that even some of our team couldn't squeeze in - so we're delighted to be able share the video from the night here now we've released it to our community. Content warning for swearing, Twilight content, and some incredibly talented people. https://lnkd.in/eQRr67ex
