LGBTQ+

Hi all, I am looking to buy stickers and patches to add to my things like laptop and bike. Instead of giving some random corporation money for it, I would much rather prefer to buy more expensive stickers where the money will go to a LGBT+ related organization.

Any recommendations for a preferably EU based place to get them?

Thanks in advance!

They wrote in an email to What The Trans:
To whom it may concern,

I am a representative of BASH BACK, a trans led direct action group devoted to tackling the rising tide of transphobia in the UK. As I write this, actionists are conducting our first action at Wes Streeting’s office in Ilford North.

Wes Streeting, as you well know, is responsible for a heinous ban on puberty blockers for trans youth, as well as a swathe of other restrictions on transgender people’s healthcare rights.

He is also, according to at least one legal professional, personally responsible for covering up reports of the deaths of trans young people under the care of NHS England. Every day, trans people are dying as a result of his policies and his inaction.

As trans people, we refuse to take this lying down any longer. We have chosen to take action to demonstrate that we will not be victimised or scapegoated by Streeting and his ilk any longer. We will not allow more of our loved ones to be to be harrassed, to be legislated, to be excluded, to be denied healthcare, to be murdered. We are trans and we BASH BACK.

On July 29, 2025, LinkedIn removed “misgendering or deadnaming” from examples of prohibited content in its policy on hateful and derogatory content.

It's the biggest Serbian LGBTQ+ on Reddit (recently reached 1000 members after less than a year!)

A new law allows trans Cubans to update their identification cards by request without providing proof of genital surgery.

Can't get any screenshots right now, but I left a comment on the recent Onion video about the white house trans alarm, just a funny little bit about how republicans can't decide what bathroom trans people should be using.

It stayed up for a while, then just suddenly vanished. I tested a combination of words to see what triggered it. Any comments that I used the word "cis" in were instantaneously shadow banned. Additionally, when trying to let people know about that, I discovered merely referring to a shadow ban also gets your comment shadow banned, presumably to keep people from talking about the practice.

Just to be safe, I control-F'd and searched the entire comment section for the word cis. It was a video about trans people. It's a straight up inevitability that it'd be used at least once. But nope, not a single reference to the word anywhere in the comments. That settles it in my mind.

I don't know why I expected YouTube to be better than that.

I thought my state was doing pretty damn good with regarding LGBT but the Seattle Tacoma area is gay af, and openly so.

Like, in my state, there are definitely LGBT but it mostly feels like the only time to be open about it is pride month.

Feels like pride all day every day out here in Washington

hi… i’m Cyara a trans refugee in South Sudan. i’ve been really sick suffering from Malaria,typhoid and ulcers. Also within the same time, I got a very painful big cut on my finger. I had to go to a clinic and thanks to a few kind strangers who donated, i was able to cover the bill. But it left us with nothing.

it’s just me and my 3 trans sisters. we’ve been through hell here and now the government is evicting us. one of my sisters has broken completely under the pressure. she’s not okay. none of us are.

we’ve only raised $121 out of $720 for emergency shelter. i know the world is exhausted. i see what’s happening in Texas, in New Mexico, everywhere and my heart breaks. but i still need help too. just one last chance to survive.

please don’t scroll past this. please help us. share if you can. donate if you’re able. message me if you want to hear our story ’m open to a voice or video call. we’re real people who are really scared. we just want safety : (( Please also the support link is on my profile

It only works if you say the O wrong! Neither "woman" nor "women" are said like that.

Oh, and all the other stuff about implying any strong & healthy friendship must have some underlying homoeroticism bullshit.
