Re: Topic Tuesday // Resilience as a response to discrimination // Tues, 17 May, 7pm AEST
@eth the use of pronouns is a big one. I have a few friends who are transgender, and through my relationship with them I've realised just how engrained discriminatory and stigmatising language is.

No they are now 27, married with a child @RossQLife. But by no means yet very resilient when it comes to the general public's assumption of binary gender identity. They identify as neither female nor male and are still evolving into who they have realised they need to be.

I shared an IDOHOT post on my facebook page today from Phillipines in solidarity - but I hadn't actually ever heard of it before. So no don't know what the origins are - something terrible remembered and turned around to embrace and celebrate diveristy is my guess.

@eth, ah ok. Well best of luck to them... it's pretty hard to lead a life that's so authentic. I hope they feel well connected and would remind you that QLife is there and available between 3pm and midnight if they ever want to talk to someone.

@MoonGal yep pretty close... on the 17th of May, 1990 homosexuality was officially removed from the international list of mental health conditions! (Yes, 1990... )

hi @Kurra! So close!
But yep, it still feels like 1990 was a really late time to make this statement.
