Today (March 31) is International Transgender Day of Visibility, and I’m sending love to all trans folks today, and always.

“they” (1 word) is shorter than “he or she” (3 words)

“they” is more inclusive than “he/she”

“themself” flows more naturally than “him or herself”

“they” is less clunky than “(s)he”

it’s time to replace the awkward “she or he”

Several months ago, Sasha Berenstein, a gender-fluid Yiddishist from Oregon, proposed that the League for Yiddish publish an edition of “Words of the Week” that would provide the trans, queer and non-binary communities a way to express concepts related to their identities, as well as a list of gender-neutral alternatives to traditional kinship terms. Given this goal, note that this list does *not* include traditional terms that may already exist in Yiddish but may not be gender-neutral (such as grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, husband, wife, etc.). Note that for brevity’s sake, this list is not comprehensive and is intended to be a starting point for further work. A groysn dank (thank you) to Sasha and the broader community for assembling the initial list and suggesting Yiddish equivalents, as well as Zackary Sholem Berger, Hershl Paul Glasser, GitlSchaechter-Viswanath and Sheva Zucker for their input and expertise.

I haven’t seen a lot of posts that shed some positivity for non-binary Muslims who wear the hijab – I personally sometimes feel it’s frustrating that people see hijabi non-binary people as “female” just because the hijab is an obligation for women. My hijab does not define my gender; only my obligation to my God and my religion! 

Shoutout to all non-binary hijabi Muslims out there; you are valid and Allah loves you, insya-Allah!

genderfluid/otherwise multi-gendered people are lovely! it’s definitely possible for someone’s sense of gender to change often, you aren’t making anything up! it’s okay if you struggle with decisions about transitioning and presentation, i hope you can find ways to be comfortable and feel accepted!

My thoughts and reflections on today. Stay safe and take care out there 💙

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history. 

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.

Please shere!!!

The trans clinics of Finland have decided to denide non-binary people from getting treatment.
