Transinclusive

Stand With Me

February 27, 2017 Gavin Grimm, www.medium.com ,
By Gavin Grimm for Medium - If you had asked me when I was first starting how I imagined my high school experience would go, never in a million years would I have guessed it would go like this. When I reintroduced myself to my classmates as Gavin at the beginning of my sophomore year, not much had changed. I was the same as I was the year before -- short, messy hair and exclusively male clothing. The only differences were my name, pronouns, and comfort. I was infinitely happier presenting myself authentically. My teachers and classmates respected my identity and called me “he” and “him” when they were talking about me. And, after checking with the principal to make sure it was okay, I started using the boys’ restroom like every other guy in school. Everything was normal. And for a couple of months, nobody seemed to mind.

To Trans Youth: “We Stand Ready To Protect You, Even If Washington Won’t”

By Lauren McCauley for Common Dreams - After the Trump administration on Wednesday revoked Title IX protections for transgender students, allies and legal organizations are vowing to protect the rights of students and transgender youth who are now increasingly vulnerable to bullying and discrimination. An estimated 200 people rallied outside the White House Wednesday evening after it was announced that the Obama-era joint guidance directing the Departments of Education (DOE) and Justice (DOJ) to "treat a student's gender identity as the student's sex for purposes of enforcing Title IX" had been rescinded. Addressing the crowd, Gavin Grimm, a transgender teen whose lawsuit against the Gloucester County, Virginia school board will be heard by the Supreme Court in March, said: "I've faced my share of adversaries in rural Virginia, but I never imagined that my government would be one of them."

“Fighting Against Austerity Will Be Feminist & Transinclusive”

April 10, 2015 Verity Stevenson, www.thelinknewspaper.ca , , ,
A heavy police presence and a game of snakes and ladders characterized Tuesday night’s women and trans people-only protest against austerity measures, as one protester put it. About 200 women huddled at Norman Bethune square on the northeast corner of Maisonneuve Boulevard and Guy Street at 9 p.m. On the opposites sides of both streets were taut lines of police officers, some with bikes, others in riot gear. This was before the protest started. The non-mixed nature of the protest was meant to give women a space to denounce budget cuts and shifts in investment that are said to by-and-large affect them more than men, without being spoken for by men.
