So, I just saw something on my socials shared by a family member on their story and it was a video from LNP Senator Michaelia Cash going after a Sex Discrimination Comissioner for worrying about trans women being discriminated against in the workplace for "potential pregnancy" (*If you do track down the politician's account, trigger warning for blatant transphobia*). Am I missing something? Transgender women have, so far, not been able to get pregnant because there's never been a successful uterus transplant for trans women? Unless they're arguing over an intersex trans girl who was born with a uterus? I saw something a few days ago about politicians arguing about the right term for people who breastfeed and some arguing that woman is the only "correct" term (which is obviously BS). Are they just confusing trans women and trans men? Or they could simply just be ragebaiting and straight up making shit up about trans women becoming pregnant? What is going on?

hi all. i'm a 2nd year full time uni student who has been on Youth Allowance payments for over a year now, and my new birth cert and docs came in the mail today. i was just wondering what the optimal route is for changing all legal things without causing disruptions? as i think i have heard people say that if even one detail mismatches between your uni/centrelink/tfn/IDs etc etc it can instantly cause YA payments to be cut off without warning. i don't know how true that is but i do want to be on the safe side because these payments are pretty important for me

any advice is appreciated, especially if you are/were a uni student on YA payments while changing their legal details. and also in general i do just wanna change all my legal stuff ASAP. thanks!!

Asking for my daughter's Bestie, who is going to Melb soon for his 18th bday but might not be able to get ID with his real name on it in time.

So, he's stuck with Birth Certificate and Medicare Card with DEADNAME on it, and photo ID where he was pre T and looks quite different.

It's not so much that he's worried about not being able to get into a club, it's about feeling okay about it all.

I've advised he have a Plan A, B, and C and be ready to move on if feeling uncomfortable or anxkious or if Security doesn't believe his credentials.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation so as to best avoid being Deadnamed or feeling gross about it all?

Thanks in advance.

Hi hi everyone. Question is basically the title. I was wondering if there were any places to meet more trans people in melbourne.

I'm trying to break out of my shell a little. Most of my current trans friends are online/in other countries. And I'm constantly hearing about how they can hangout and do things together. And I'm honestly a bit jealous 😅, so I'm trying to be brave and be productive with this energy while I have it.

Looking for Perth based doctors who prescribe Bica, or ones from other states who could do so via telehealth

Thank you!

it’s guaranteed at this point that Victoria for the next few years will be ruled by the cookers that are libs+On, both extremely anti trans because they can’t really create policies to improve people’s lives so they ll go for culture war points.

what laws are we going to see? are they going to try ban trans people from bathrooms?

sometimes I can’t decide if I hate libs more or Labor for being such sellouts and putting a lib dressed as labor as a candidate, no surprise nobody liked him and this is the result.

What extreme laws do they expect to pass? worst case scenario because there’s no point preparing for best case scenarios
