“We simply want to gather together… to discuss issues affecting lesbians & to build our own community.” who’s stopping you from private events for your members for this? plenty of groups do it, invite via word of mouth etc. as a vast ‘silent majority’ surely you could do it easy
A significant milestone here in Australia: our opinion piece in @abcnews - the best thing you can do is discuss it with friends & family who are not listening to our point of view & are entrenched in the one-sided views the ABC normally pump out:

terfs love to chuck out the classic ‘Trans Observer’ gag and they think they’re the first to the joke and absolutely ate every single time, which always brings a smile to my dial bc 1) ‘trans’ is in no way an insult to us 2) it actually sounds metal as fuck and i love it 🏳️⚧️

For nearly 50 years, Star Observer has been there – but the need for queer media is more important than ever. So, we're launching a fundraiser so we can do more to properly serve the community we love 💖

Damages for Roxy increased to $20k. Costs up to $100k. Evidently, discrimination does not pay. The grift is over. #TickleVGiggle

Moments after court adjourned, Sall Grover ran to her dad and started sobbing into his shoulder. The law is very clear: discrimination against trans women is not acceptable. Thanks to all involved for reaffirming this in such a powerful way.

TRANS EXCELLENCE 4EVA!
🥰🥰🥰 i love my staff and will always head into battle for them. maybe i’ll add ‘protect staff from anti-LGBTQ+ online hate’ to my job description, seeing as people in queer media cop so much hate for simply doing their jobs
i am 100% okay w my queer staff at a queer company talking about sucking dick on their own social media. in fact, i encourage it. i also sometimes suck dick! sometimes the dick belongs to trans women & nb ppl, sometimes cis men! all exist whether ya like it or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i wrote a v silly article about fixing homophobia in the AFL. suggestions include adopting a pet w a slur for a name, a pavlovian technique involving tequila, drag queens reading them the house down boots, and finally (and most shockingly): properly listening to queer people.
The AFL has a homophobia problem, and we have some great and terrible suggestions to fix it. Will they work? Only one way to find out! The ball's is in your court, @AFL.

Dr Beth Upton, a trans UK doctor cleared of any wrongdoing in a high-profile case has began working in Australia - with personal details published sensationally by media in Australia, and calls by conservative groups for her to lose her job.

TERFs: “back in my day there were no trans people!’”
mm ok well back in my day feminists held cis men to account for upholding patriarchal bullshit that affects & harms women, rather than bullying women – both cis and trans – for their heinous crime of participating in society
TERFs will be SHOCKED and HORRIFIED by this op-ed which very rationally and logically points out that cis men will spend millions on anti-trans efforts, but won’t spend a single cent on women’s sport, so men are at fault here, not the trans women who just like playing a sport
Trans women in sport aren't the real enemy, explains Dylan Rackley. "Real equality would require investment in women's sport, not exclusion of trans people."

Yesterday's decision to allow the Lesbian Action Group an appeal to ban transgender women from their events is anything but a win, explains Lydia Jupp.

the weirdest thing is that TERFs lose their minds about trans women being a part of #IWD events saying they’re “invading our spaces” etc. so trans women hold their own IWD event — TERFs are furious about that too. those are literally the two options, you can’t be mad about both
Organisers have brushed aside online hate opposing a trans-inclusive International Women’s Day (IWD) event taking place in Sydney this weekend, saying that their plans are firmly inline with the feminist principles of the globally-observed day.

Seeing @ladygaga's Mayhem Ball in Melbourne this weekend rewired my brain chemistry. As a queer person with the same chronic illness as Gaga, it was a cathartic, emotional, empowering & altogether holy experience I won't forget.
