ILGA quer que mudança de identidade deixe de exigir relatório clínico
A ILGA (Intervenção Lésbica, Gay, Bissexual e Transgénero) Portugal quer que a mudança de nome e de sexo no Registo Civil deixe de exigir o diagnóstico de perturbação de identidade de género, tal como acontece atualmente.
Esta até faz rir, a ILGA, que de há muito já deixou de ter legitimidade para falar em nome das pessoas trans portuguesas, quer agora o quê? Há grupos/associações nacionais que têm voz, não é preciso uma ILGA para futuramente nos apunhalar pelas costas como já fez no passado, nós temos voz própria...

Caitlyn Jenner Just Might Be The Anti-Hero The Transgender Community Needs
This week’s Season 2 premiere of Caitlyn Jenner’s I Am Cait was a reminder that she is still a reality television star. This season, she’s taking “her girls” — the group of transgender women recruited to be her squad for the show — on the road. Like a flashback to MTV’s Road Rules (made by the same production company, Bunim-Murray), the device is a reminder that not everybody has the opportunity to fly a helicopter over the Grand Canyon, and watching other people enjoy that privilege just because they can isn’t exactly inspiring.

#CivilRights Campaign by Mass AG for #TransRights with #EveryoneWelcome
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey’s campaign #EveryoneWelcome is all about a #CiviRights bill allowing Transgender legal access to Public accommodations. This hashtag advocacy would have been unnecessary if a few Democrats had the fortitude to stand up for what was right. But the state adopted a limited #CiviRights bill in 2012 which was stripped of public accommodations protections in a move to appease those democratic lawmakers who unbelievably are opposed to equal rights for everyone.
