@ fellow bi trans men and boys:Â being bi doesnât make you less male. Your bisexuality doesnât need to be âfixedâ as âpart of transitionâ or otherwise.Â
The European Court of Human Rights on Thursday ruled the forced sterilization of transgender people violates their human rights.
In 22 European countries, transgender people are required to undergo forced sterilization in order to have their gender identity legally recognized.
Fortunately, thatâs about to change. The European Court of Human Rights ruled this week that forced sterilization laws are a violation of human rights, and that these 22 countries must change their laws.Â
The affected countries are Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Finland, Turkey, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. A handful of other European countries have also removed their forced sterilization laws in the past few years.
âToday is a victory for trans people and human rights in Europe,â said Transgender Europe Executive Director Julia Ehrt in a press release. âThis decision ends the dark chapter of state-induced sterilization in Europe.â
OutRight Action International Executive Director Jessica Stern also applauded the ruling.
âToday the world moved in the right direction for trans rights everywhere,â she said. âForcing unnecessary medical interventions to access basic human rights like legal recognition of a personâs gender is barbaric.â
The European Court of Human Rights ruling said forced medical examinations or mental health diagnoses for trans people do not violate the European Convention on Human Rights.
âIt is regrettable that cruel and unnecessary medical examinations are seen to be in accordance with the European Convention on Human Rights,â said Transgender Europe Senior Policy Officer Richard KĂśhler. âWe will continue to raise awareness about the human rights abuses in the medical field that trans people are still systematically subjected to.â
This is a really big deal, and about damn time, too.Â
Trans Actors Represent is a blog that aims to highlight  the importance of positive and accurate representation of trans people. It aims to do this by empowering transgender people to use their voices, for example it allows transgender actors to submit their stories. It also gives out advice and answers questions.Â
Can you recommend good transfeminine blogs? Especially nonbinary transfem? Both like resource blogs and personal blogs I just wanna see more transfem people on my dash
http://diaryofatransgenderwoman.tumblr.com/Â - This isnât about being non binary but is a transgender womanâs blog. She does get a lot of transphobia Iâm afraid though, so be careful when accessing her blog as you donât want to be upset.Â
http://upandoutcomic.tumblr.com/Â - This is a transgender womanâs personal blog and she also does comics about her experiences.
http://trans-parenting.tumblr.com/Â - This is a personal blog of a AMAB non binary person who is a parent.
http://www.transgirlnextdoor.com/Â - Again, this is a personal blog of a transgender woman who does comics about her experience.
That is all I could think of, sorry! Sorry for the lack of resource blogs too.

Just some tips Iâve learned over the years to help with my boyfriendâs dysphoria
â˘vertical stripes (makes you seem taller)
â˘uneven patterns such as polka dots (hides any chest bumps)
â˘jackets, sweaters, or vests (layers hide curves. But be sure theyâre not too long. Oversized clothes make you seem smaller. Hem should be no more than 2 inches below waist)
â˘graphic T shirt (make sure design is higher up on the chest to hide any chest bumps)
â˘pants (straight fitted. Go up a size. Try to get little to no breaks.)
â˘round or pointed toed shoes (square toed shoes make you seem shorter)
â˘hats, glasses, necklaces, bow ties, skinny ties (any accessories should be kept to the upper half of their body to draw the eye up and make them seem taller)
â˘binders (best binder brands I know of are Underworks, and G2cb)
â˘shoelifts (amazon has really good cheap ones)
⢠shop online for smaller menâs clothes (rue21, Zara, American Eagle, Express Men, Asos, H&M)
Itâs totally okay to name yourself after someone you admire. Parents do it all the time, they name their kids after family members, friends, celebrities, anything, and you can do the same. Youâre not faking anything, and I love your name. It suits you.
why do people make shit arguments against queer representation by saying things like âthe percentage of lgbt people in the population isnât that highâ well neither is the percentage of vampires but we see plenty of them in our media dont we
