dreamer_easyI know you'll be as shocked as I was to learn that one of the claims of the Coalition for Marriage - that a Jewish school in the UK was threatened with closure for its stance on gay marriage - was false witness. Gosh! Also bullshit: the story about the Canadian dad who wanted his kids taught that LGBT people are unnatural and unhealthy. Who'd've thunk it.
QLife - Australian national LGBTI counselling and referral service. Phone 1800 184 527 or use their Web chat.
Seahorse Victoria - trans support and social group.
DEFGLIS - Australian Defence LGBTI Information Service
Perth's Freedom Centre for young LGBTIQQ people
The Gender Centre in NSW provides "services for the transgender and gender diverse community"
Tasmania's Working It Out supports the LGBTI community.
Marie Stopes Australia searches for 'brave' philanthropists to pay for abortions (SMH, 28 September 2017) "Publicly funded abortion services are not available in NSW, Queensland, the ACT and Tasmania. Limited services are available in other states and territories including a handful of public hospitals in Victoria." "The average cost of a medical or surgical termination in Australia is $500."
Remove gendered school uniforms, address inequality, urges child rights group (ABC, 11 October 2017). Inevitably the headline is the most trivial of Plan International Australia's recommendations, and not "ban sexist ads", "teach boys to respect girls", or "fix unequal pay". (Having said which, I fucking hated having to wear a skirt and stopped as soon as I could get away with it.)
Submarines or rape counselling? Priorities are the measure of any government (SMH, 7 October 2017)
Domestic violence survivors often go on to suffer from economic abuse: Women's Legal Service (ABC, 6 October 2017)
Transgender escorts share stories of daily struggles and discrimination (ABC, 3 October 2015) Alas, the video segments are not longer available, and nor is the original Four Corners program, but there is a transcript. "Transgender people here typically endure the highest levels of abuse, prejudice, social stigma and violence of any group in our community. Many of them end up in the sex industry because they can't get any other work." "That's the life of ladyboys. You need to keep on fighting. We will never surrender. We will never surrender. Never."
Pink Wasn't Always Girly: A short history of a complex color (The Atlantic, 12 August 2013)
Why the masculine face? Genetic evidence reveals drawbacks of hyper-masculine features (The Conversation, 24 January 2014)
