admin, , , ,

Trans charity Mermaids confirmed that its appeal against the LGB Alliance will be heard in May 2022. In April 2021, the Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, confirmed that the organisation had been approved onto the register as their purposes fall within the legal definition of charity. According to gov.uk, there were “a number of objections to the registration of LGBA as a charity” that the Commission took into careful consideration, including a petition that has garnered over 35,000 signatures. The LGB Alliance, which rose…

Drag Race star Aja asks fans for “help” with her “gender journey”

admin, , , ,

Aja shared an intimate post asking her followers for “some help” as she continues navigating her “gender journey”. In July 2018, Aja announced that she would rather be known as a “queer artist” as opposed to a “drag queen”. This led to her primarily focusing on her music career and less on the way a “stereotypical drag queen lip-syncs and performs”. On 6 September, the Drag Race icon took to Instagram to share an incredibly personal post about her “gender journey”. “Afterword I came out as non-binary and things started…

New Zealand passes law making it easier for trans people to update birth certificates

admin, , , ,

New Zealand’s parliament unanimously passed a law that will make it easier for trans people to update the sex on their birth certificates. The country first introduced self-identification on birth certificates in 2018, though until now this was only possible if evidence of a medical procedure was provided. Passed unanimously on 9 December, the births, deaths, marriages and relationship registration bill makes it easier to self-identify by removing that requirement. Jan Tinetti, internal affairs minister, said: “Today is a proud day in Aotearoa’s history. “Parliament has voted in favour of…

Trans people waiting years for gender healthcare as demand surges

admin, , , ,

When British tattoo artist Eva Echo found the courage to come out as transgender, she quickly sought specialist medical care to help her transition. More than four years later, she is still waiting for her first appointment. Echo, who is part of a potential legal challenge to England’s National Health Service (NHS) over waiting times, said the delay left her “drowning” in gender dysphoria – the distress caused by someone’s gender identity not matching their body. “There’s no way to tell where I am on the list or when I’m…
