"The survey’s findings contradict conservative media narratives about transition regret, which suggest that large volumes of trans people detransition because they later regret their transition as a mistake. The survey found that only a small number of people detransition, and the decision is largely due to external factors."

Finished "Homebody" by Theo Parish last night. It's a lovely non-fiction graphic novel about Theo's journey of gender discovery as a trans nonbinary person. Has wonderfully comfy art, and it's still encouraging to see such a positive story of self-discovery. Was interesting to compare it to "Genderqueer" by Maia Kobabe: Maia's journey seems to have been a bit rougher (or they're just more comfortable sharing more of the rough parts), and Maia gets more into stuff about sex and genitals, which Theo either didn't deal with as much or avoids discussing.

Content warning: Nottingham Against Transphobia "die-in" last Saturday
Didn't know about this till now!
"Nottingham Against Transphobia hold die-in in city centre"
"... to demand justice from the Labour government and the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and show the general public the stark reality trans people are currently facing. ...
"The demonstration in Nottingham saw dozens of participations carry out a die-in where they lay silently on the ground as the sound of a steady heartbeat played from a loud speaker. One attendee was dressed as the Grim Reaper and wore a mask plastered with the face of prime minister Keir Starmer, standing ominously amongst the participants on the floor."

Content warning: BiCon coming up, Fri 25 to Sun 27 July 2025, Nottingham and online
BiCon comes to Nottingham this Friday!
It's a masking-friendly, though not mask-required, event, in a venue which is said to be pretty good for air quality.
There's also an online-only option, which I went to myself last year when the in-person side wasn't in Nottingham. We had a nice little group being companionable on the Zoom, with some of the in-person sessions running as hybrid.
You don't have to be bi to go - just bi-friendly and trans-inclusive. Typically it does include some non-bi people who just like the vibes :-)
Sliding-scale admission prices:
- in-person weekend tickets £65 down to £20
- in-person day tickets £40 down to £10
- online weekend tickets £20 down to £4.
Venue this year is two of the buildings belonging to the girls' high school, in between the Forest and the Arboretum. Nearest tram stop is High School. Nearest bus lines are brown, green, yellow, and purple.
There's usually a variety of session options in the day: some talky and some not; some bi-themed, some unrelated. In the evenings there'll be social space. Some people will go and march as a group in Notts Pride on the Saturday. I'm going to host an online pre-meet on the Wednesday evening.
Myself I've booked for the weekend, but in reality I might only make it to the online-Wednesday-pre-meet and the Friday, esp if I do go to Notts Pride on the Saturday. I might be all used up by Saturday night. (Even pre-covid I might've run out of steam by then :-) ) But if I didn't come in on the Sunday, I probably would still join in at least a little bit online.
More below on what I'm planning to contribute!
Feel free to ping me if you have questions :-)

"despite the law being very clear, actually, a few very determined transphobes have crawled their way to the heart of the law like maggots in an apple. A system that has been working perfectly well since 2010 has now been unnecessarily tampered with – and Starmer has capitulated because he’s spineless"

Content warning: what I plan to contribute to BiCon (July 2025, Nottingham and online)
I have plans for a few different things...
• Wednesday evening, 23 July, I'm hosting a 1-hour online thing that'll be open to whoever's already booked by then. It'll be a somewhat structured talky session on a theme of "inventing the BiCon you want", and an opportunity to meet other people who are going. Newcomers especially welcome :-)
• On the Friday morning at in-person BiCon, I'm offering a session called "Curiosity Skills". It's about which kinds of questions are genuinely "open", versus which kinds of questions allow your own assumptions and biases to sneak in! It'll be partly me explaining, and partly the chance for some little conversational experiments, to notice how the different questions work in practice.
• Subject to finding a nice quiet airy place to do it, I plan to run a mask-decoration session at some point on the Friday. I'll bring a few different kinds of masks, plus lace, beads and sequins, and some past experience of how to decorate masks without compromising the seal or the breathability. I'll invite donations for the materials. Decorate your mask for Pride! or for BiCon partying! or just because you like to :-)
• Also I will bring my badges and zines, and have them on sale!
=
By the way, if you might come to the Wednesday evening online bit, let me know what time you'd like it to start, because that's a question I have open at the moment. Could be 19.00, 19.30, 20.00. For myself I don't really mind, but I'm aware that some people have teatimes or child-bedtimes that can't easily be moved.
