Natasha Jay<p>I just had the loveliest compliment, and it really reminded me how important online <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> visibility is. Less about perfection, and more about keeping it real. And yes seeing others helped me years ago, simply by knowing it was (1) possible and (2) that one is not alone ... the rest follows. </p><p>Well on keeping it real and real life, I'm sitting in a car showroom, grey roots n all, as <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.ie/@IsabelB" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>IsabelB</span></a></span> 's whizzy car is in for a service.

Natasha Jay<p>Out for coffee with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.ie/@IsabelB" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>IsabelB</span></a></span> as is our normal routine .

There's little trans stuff in the papers, certainly vs the manufactured bigotry of the UK. It's like a weight off my shoulders every time I'm back here, fresh air for the soul to breathe. Gendercare for trans folk via public health is non-existent but we work around that; it's the norm. </p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Transvisibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Transvisibility</span></a></p>

Natasha Jay<p>I let my hair down and went to find the best lighting in the coffee shop ... a trans super-power. No real message, pure narcissism.

🏳️‍⚧️ Christin Löhner 🏳️‍🌈<p>Eure "exklusive Umfrage" ist nichts als billiger Müll auf Papier gepresst. 6000 Menschen wollen ihr Geschlecht ändern?

Angst vor einer Welt, die eure miesen, engstirnigen Weltbilder nicht mehr braucht. Eine Welt, in der Menschen frei sein können, ohne sich vor eurem hetzerischen Dreck rechtfertigen zu müssen.</p><p>Jede einzelne trans* Person hat mehr Mut im kleinen Finger als euer gesamtes Redaktionsteam zusammen. Während ihr im Schutz eurer Mehrheit Hass schürt, kämpfen sie TÄGLICH gegen die Scheiße, die IHR mit produziert.</p><p>Euer "gesunder Menschenverstand" ist nichts als verkappte Diskriminierung, euer "Schutz der Kinder" nichts als Heuchelei. Tatsache ist: Trans* Menschen gibt es, gab es immer und wird es immer geben.

Natasha Jay<p>Morning walk, and it's gorgeous in Cork 🌞 The bluebells are out, but only a few as it's hedgerows not woodland here.
