Transcidadania: Coletivo prepara travestis e transexuais para o Enem
Sete e meia da noite na Lapa, o bairro boêmio na região central do Rio, não por acaso com maior número de travestis da cidade. Numa rua deserta, conhecida como Beco do Rato, algumas delas caminham silenciosamente há duas semanas por um novo motivo: estudam em um curso preparatório para o Enem, o Prepara Nem, com foco na preparação delas e de homens e mulheres transexuais para as provas. O curso é uma iniciativa do coletivo Tem Local, que milita contra o preconceito e promove ações de cidadania para a população LGBT.

Statistics NZ’s ‘Gender Diverse’ Decision
Today Statistics NZ released their decision on creating a new standard for gender identity classification, including “gender diverse” alongside “male” and “female”. You’ll remember that they held extensive discussions with the community via loomio, but today, coincidentally timed, those discussions are no longer publicly available, and the loomio group that gender identity fell under, “ethnicity, culture, and identity” has been closed off. Luckily, I never turned off email notifications from Loomio, so I have most of the discussion archived in my inbox.
