I cannot begin to recommend seeing “I’m Your Venus” enough, as well as its’ predecessor Paris is Burning.

Sounds
 suspect. The lack of transparency is concerning as well, especially with money involved.

I doubt much in the way of monetary malfeasance just because the amounts are so tiny compared to the budget for the entire community center. And the organization is in a financial crisis and is selling their building- none of which happened under the new leader. But has much to do with Fetterman and Casey voting to remove federal funding from a million dollar grant to bring the building up to code.

I wouldn’t doubt other sorts of politics involved and the new ED trying to put their people in place. And perhaps some ageism- both of the volunteer leaders are seniors.

Today is International Nonbinary People’s Day
 which began as more or less a joke on a blog, that it should be halfway between International Women’s Day (March 8) and International Men’s Day (November 19).

But by that reasoning, one could also put it on Jan 12.

Of course, a lot of enbies don’t think of themselves as “halfway between” but rather off-axis. So I propose the more appropriate date of February 29 30. :grin:

While I don’t mind the idea, I definitely don’t think of myself as “halfway” between anything. (I’m also pansexual and have had to patiently explain that no, this doesn’t not mean “half gay” or whatever.) I do usually present more feminine, so I’ll often refer to myself as a nonbinary trans fem, but that’s still not a halfway point, it is it’s own location!

There isn’t even an axis. It’s all a cloud. Still, representation is nice, so I think having a Nonbinary People’s Day is great. But yeah, maybe just pick a day rather than defining it relative to the gender binary, which feels a little off point, so to speak.

Halloween would be good. Or maybe in recognition of genderfluid folks it should be a different day each year :grin:

I really wish I could find an online copy of Zamfir’s Evil Twin by Sponge Awareness Foundation right now. :grin:

Today is the 10th Anniversary of the passing of the Gender Recognition Act. This is still one of the most progressive pieces of legislation regarding gender recognition in the world. Ireland was one of the first places to legally allow people to self declare their gender identity! We are indebted to Lydia Foy for her tireless campaign, which was the basis for this legislation. We also thank the former TENI staff and board for their incredible work on behalf of the community.

We will be holding events to celebrate and push forward this legislation in September, so watch this space!
