Wow! Heute bin ich zwei Jahre auf HRT. Irgendwie kann ich es immer noch nicht glauben. Ich weiß noch, wie ich damals das Rezept abholte und zur Apotheke ging. Die Hormone bekam und dann bis zu der Zeit wartete, an der ich sie seither immer nehme. Immer 20:00 Uhr. Ich war wie ein Kind an Weihnachten, dass auf die Geschenke wartet. Es war die beste Entscheidung meines Lebens!

May is Military Appreciation Month

This is just my opinion, though if it weren't for the US Military protecting the US, the LGBTQ community might not be able to celebrate Pride month, so here’s a shout out for the US Military and Military Appreciation Month.

From the article: "May is Military Appreciation Month, a special time for those in and out of the military. It is a time designated to honor and recognize the contributions, sacrifices, and service of the members of the armed forces, past and present.

"Not only do we pause on Memorial Day to remember the sacrifice and service of those who gave all, but the month also marks several other military anniversaries and events, including Military Spouse Appreciation Day and Armed Forces Day."

While this article is from last year it is worth a read considering the loss of corporate support many Pride organiazations are experiencing this year. Maybe going local is a good way to build or rebuild community support.

Headline: 7 Ways Small Businesses Can Support Pride Month

Source: Guidant Financial

From the article: "With the month of June here, now is a great time to celebrate Pride Month! Pride Month serves as an important reminder to embrace diversity and support the LGBTQ+ community, not just during the month of June — but all year round.

"While hanging a rainbow flag in your shop’s window is supportive, you can take more meaningful actions to support our LGBTQ+ friends and become a stronger ally in your community. Whether you’re a small coffee shop or a larger daycare, you can create inclusive environments, organize pride events, and show your support in meaningful ways — and we’ll give you some simple ideas on how to do it.

"The Small Business Administration (SBA) is getting on board, too, committing to put more resources into the LGBTQ+ community by focusing on equity in the small business world. In fact, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce estimates there are “1.4 million LGBTQ+-owned businesses in the United States (U.S.), and they generate more than $1.7 trillion in economic impact.” By the SBA focusing more resources on LGBTQ+ businesses, even more of these businesses will be successful in the future."

From the article: "Companies that were once loud and proud in supporting LGBTQ+ community celebrations are pulling back.

"LGBTQ+ Pride festivals across the country have faced significant sponsorship challenges this year, with some losing corporate partners that collectively provided six-figure donations. As a result, organizations say they've had to modify their programming, pivot to other funding sources and reconsider their dependencies on corporate dollars.

"Many companies have cited economic concerns as their impetus to delay or exit partnerships with Pride groups. But LGBTQ+ group leaders also noted an increasingly hostile climate for diversity, equity and inclusion efforts that has prompted some businesses to rethink their support. In turn, Pride organizations are seeking clarity on how much their values still align with those of their corporate contributors.

"For this many companies to be dropping off, I think, points to that we're in a different political environment than we have been maybe in a long, long time," San Francisco Pride executive director Suzanne Ford told CNBC."

The LGBTQ community is resourceful enough for Pride to continue regardless of the changes in corporate sponsorhips.

From the article: "Nearly two-fifths of corporations plan on scaling back engagement for LGBTQ Pride Month this June, an uptick from the same survey last year, while another two-fifths said their support would remain unchanged, according to a survey of corporate executives by Gravity Research, as some LGBTQ Pride organizations nationwide report fewer corporate sponsorships than past years."

Alors si vous avez la rage actuellement contre J.K. Rowling qui a filé 70 000 euros pour aider la loi anti-trans en Angleterre, et que vous soutenez les personnes trans, sachez qu'à la Fédération Anarchiste il n'est absolument pas mal vu d'être transphobe, ni que certains membres prônent en public exactement ce que la loi transphobe anglaise a introduit :

In our 9th month of living in the Vulpibus and our car, we are still working on getting the basics up and running. We yet need to get and install enough insulation, batteries and air con to have a safely temperature controlled environment of our own in this brutal, climate change addled world. We also need to install proper plumbing and to diagnose and fix some engine problems.

We have made great progress with many things, but the journey is far from over and your help continues to be needed. We are doing what we can to find more income sources, but in the meantime you are an incredible lifeline.

From the article: "April 2025 data from digital platform WorkL indicates that while workplace happiness increased slightly for heterosexual workers in 2025, it decreased for LGBTQ+ workers — suggesting a change in the political climate also led to a change in climate for LGBTQ+ workers.

"Similarly, feelings of empowerment for these workers fell from 77% to 71% year over year and pride in their work dropped from 74% to 63%. Job satisfaction for LGBTQ+ workers also dropped from 75% to 64%."
