From that new movie? Well, will see if it sticks.

I didn't watch the Mystery Incorporate version but they had Fred and Shaggy be roommates. Same with Daphne and Velma. And also -

Had a brief moment of gender euphoria this morning.

Wasn't anything major but I accidentally caught a glimpse of my hair in the bathroom mirror and it looked really feminine by complete accident.

That was nice.

‘I thought my boyfriend of 10 years was going to propose – then he told me he was trans’​

I consider myself an LGBTQ+ ally. But I wasn’t prepared for the shock and confusion I’d feel when the person I thought I’d spend my life with told me their secret...

The Tokyo metropolitan government on Tuesday began accepting applications from sexual minorities to have their partnerships publicly recognized, ahead of the program's launch on (the 1st of November)...

On the cartoon side, I haven't seen Paranormal Park season 2 but while trying to find a trailer to link here, I saw a related spoiler. Anyhow, the bigger main character is trans.

And if you don't follow Owl House, the first 27 seconds of the season 3 intro is a bi bi bi celebration.

Thai transgender tycoon buys Miss Universe contest

A Thai celebrity media tycoon - who is a transgender woman - has bought the company that runs the Miss Universe beauty pageants for $20m (£17.1m)...

...Ms Jakrajutatip's purchase came as the Miss Universe pageant has moved towards being more inclusive.

From next year, organisers have said that married women and mothers will be allowed to compete for the title.

The competition was previously only open to women who had never been married, and had no children.

The pageant has been held annually for 71 years and is broadcast in more than 160 countries.

I really wish more people understood that. Like, about so many civil rights issues. Trans rights protect cis people, too. Women's rights helps men. It may be a specific group who voices it, but civil liberty benefits everyone.

This bites. Supposedly fans pressured him to outing himself. He's young, he's experimenting. He's also an actor. Jerks.

I heard this on the BBC news yesterday. How was he pressured?

He was being accused of queerbaiting since he didn't want to define his sexuality. I have a feeling there was a message or something that finally broke the camel's back.

Poor guy.
