LGBTQ+

This is the reality of the current effect of the Executive orders regarding passports for trans people in the US. Because of the way things are implemented they are getting stuck in a no-mans land where they cannot have any travel papers at all. If you know a place to share this please do.

A great video about how fandom really doesn't know how to handle asexual characters in media and likes to sexualise them regardless. There is nothing wrong with this in the sense of exploring identity etc in fan fiction inherently as long as they don't pretend that it's ever going to happen in canon or shout down asexuals who would like some characters that are canonically like them for once.

While LGBTQI+ people have long faced discrimination and brutal oppression, international law has typically failed to recognize it as a crime. Until now.

Anecdotally, I've seen several more reports.

The enactment of the Marriage Equality Act makes Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia and the third place in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage, after Taiwan and Nepal.

Can any of you relate?

French operator SNCF has previously asked passengers to self-declare as 'Monsieur' or 'Madame'.

The EU's top court ruled on Thursday that requiring rail passengers to declare a gender when buying a ticket is in breach of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
