I know not everyone here is into electoralism, but I wanna let every one of my fellow Virginia friends know that today is the last day to register to vote in the general election! Trans issues are 100% relevant in this one, Youngkin recently passed a bunch of laws targeting trans youth.

On that subject, remember to donate to homeless shelters for trans youth who might be evicted over his policies, and other measures to keep our youngsters safe.

Very hot take: While people aren't wrong to complain about queer aesthetics being appropriated, I think it's arguably more important that non-queer public figures engage with them, in that it provides a cover for non-out folks to express themselves without as much of a risk for exposure.

October 26th is Intersex Awareness Day. https://intersexday.org/en/
Here is a good talk by an intersex person on childhood intersex gender assignment surgeries, which are almost never medically needed, and often very harmful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1rO3eDVM8
Here is another good video on the subject, by someone who had IGM performed on them as an infant, before they could consent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yHAYOvTdMI Being born intersex is about as common as being born a redhead.
"We need society, the medical field, and intersex communities themselves to acknowledge that nature provides humanity with a wide range of forms, so that all of our bodies can be recognized as valid. Unless there is an actual rare functional problem, our bodies should not be altered in infancy, and only those functional problems should be addressed. Our genitals should be altered only if we ourselves request it, to make ourselves comfortable in our own skin, not to make society comfortable by our medical erasure. Society must come again to embrace the diversity that is nature's gift to us." - https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2011/04/intersex-genitalia-illustrated-and.html
All children deserve to be protected from genital cutting without consent, no matter what genitals they are born with. Autonomy over your own body is a human right.
