St. Petersburg, Russia passes LGBT silencing law →
gaywrites:

Though people in St. Petersburg protested the law, it was rushed through the Legislative Assembly. The law prohibits “propaganda” of “sodomy, lesbianism, bisexualism and transgenderism, and pedophilia to minors,” essentially outlawing everything...

For some reason, Tumblr hasn’t been giving me notifications for messages so I have to check them manually, and sometimes I forget. If you ask or submit something and it’s not posted immediately, this is probably why.

It’s unfortunate that this woman is being given such a hard time about changing the sex marker on her license. However, she’s awesome for doing what she did. I hope she’s able to sort it out as soon as possible.
This woman has my deep respect. It’s...

Just some basic exercises and such to at least get started on making a more “you” voice.
I really like this site because it has material for transmen and nonbinary transpeople.
I haven’t really used it much, but it seems to already be a lot more helpful than most of the sites I’ve come across.
