It's Non-Binary People's Day!

We value and respect the variety, tenacity, and accomplishments of all non-binary people. Together, let's make the world a more accepting place where gender identity is respected everywhere.

People who identify as non-binary have always existed, both historically and culturally. Their identities and experiences are real and deserving of respect. Today, we amplify their voice and pledge to fight alongside for their freedoms, since it's our freedom as well.

Short announcement: We have fixed the link in this article, the issue was linked to OpenCollective giving us the wrong link. We apologize for the inconvenience it caused.

💗💜💙 Not confused, not fake

Today, we honor and celebrate Bisexual Day.

Bisexuality - a beautiful, valid expression of love and identity. Whether you're attracted to multiple genders, or your attraction varies over time, your experiences are real, important and unique.

We see you, we support you, and we celebrate you.

Pronouns Matter.

We planned to publish this on the International Pronouns Day, but we had connectivity issues. We are very sorry for the delay.

We respect each pronoun and think they are an integral part of identity for each person.

Let’s normalize using and declaring them.

Together we can value and acknowledge the importance of affirming people’s identities and spaces where everyone feels seen and valued, regardless of their gender identity.

Natural Bodies - All Bodies 💛💜

🏳️‍⚧️ Resilience is key

This Trans Awareness Week, we stand in solidarity with transgender people and transgender refugees worldwide. Transgender refugees face unique challenges, escaping life-threatening persecution only to encounter more barriers in their journey to safety. We would continue to stand in solidarity with them and support their voice, no matter what.

We also honor the fearless transgender activists who fight not just for their own safety and freedom, but for the freedom and rights of others. Their resilience and courage inspire us all, be it Ukrainian trans soldiers, Palestinian, Sakartvelo and American trans people and many others that fight.

We are here to keep fighting for Trans Rights.
