Lili Elbe, a Danish painter, artist, model and muse was born #OTD.
Lili was married to fellow artist Gerda Wegener, and can often be seen in her work. In the early 1930s, Lili became one of the first people to receive gender affirming surgeries.

Has your child come out to you over the holiday period?
Christmas is often a moment where children come out to family and therefore a time where parents are looking for support.

Looking at a late 70’s Porsche 911 Targa sitting in between a “small” chevrolet Bolt and a mid-sized Toyota Corolla makes you realize how big automobiles have gotten over the years. The Porsche looks absolutely tiny between them.

If you have autistic relatives for the love of GOD don’t invite them to a family only thing and then drop extra guests on them and make THEM feel like an asshole if they don’t want to come anymore. You’ve fundamentally changed the thing you’ve invited them to.

It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome.
It could have been a lot worse.
But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4

Looks like Levy may be dropping at 2pm.
1) Dont panic
2) Itll take some careful analysis so beware people jumping the gun
3) put your own mental health first.
If youre posting stuff, be responsible and mind other mental health. Use warnings etc as appropriate.
Looks like a busy weekend for me.

China to hike tax on condoms in attempt to boost falling birth rate
From 1 January, contraceptives will be subject to a 13% VAT rate – part of a carrot-and-stick approach by the government to increase births
China is set to impose a value-added tax (VAT) on condoms and other contraceptives for the first time in three decades, as the country tries to boost its birthrate and modernise its tax laws.
From 1 January, condoms and contraceptives will be subject to a 13% VAT rate – a tax from which the goods have been exempt since China introduced nationwide VAT in 1993. Continue reading...
