Wishing trans and gender diverse people the best #TransDayOfVisibility - and that can be whatever that means to you.
you may choose to be visible, not visible - and of course somewhat visible because we don't adhere to rigid binaries.
These NSW "Christians" look like a more violent version of Vic's Nazis from earlier in the same week.
Yep, *a more violent version*
Dutton's plebiscite/postal survey gave them the belief they had the power to define the legal protection of minorities. Voted no & they're angry.
CEO of @switchboard_vic @Joe_c_Ball explains the captain's pick for Warringah takes the national discussion backwards, ignores significant community & peak work around trans inclusion & places Australians at risk for nothing more than political gain abc.net.au/radionational/pro…

Me: Hey, @woolworths, reimburse the claim made against our pet insurance policy in April. Also, stop taking monthly payments for a policy on my dog. She's dead.

Me: Weird. Done.
Woolies: send us permission to look into this.
Me: that was implicit in providing you details. Stop wasting time.
Woolies: Yep, sure. So let us know if we can have someone look into this.

Me: Stop wasting time. Do the thing you were meant to do. Providing ID after complaining was consent.
@Woolworths doesn't need permission to do what it is I have paid for: Do your service. Reimburse. Stop charging my card.

Hi @woolworths, I very clearly told you my dog had died & no longer needed to be insured.
Stop charging my account to insure a dead dog and reimburse the expenses I sent you in April.

Also, I call bullsh!t on "mentoring young sportspeople".
Australian sportspeople would have little to gain from the person who railed against lesbians in sport & that they shouldn't have children.
The Council gave her our highest honour for that.
