The week of October 23rd to October 30th [2020]:

actually intersex - I shared an article about the Lurie children’s hospital putting an end to so-called corrective surgeries on intersex children [link]. Technically not current news, but this week also contained Intersex Awareness Day, and this article touches on some of the drawbacks of awareness.

ASL - Reblogged some beginner ASL resources courtesy of ~vaxis’ inquiry [link].

FutureIsGreen - The Langholm Moor community buyout made its goal [shared here].

~

Coy - An Aro & Ace Presentation and Style Survey is going on [link]. I wish surveys that gave the option of indicating genderfluidity actually kept genderfluid people in mind when coming up with the rest of the survey.

Em - Academia still doesn’t handle name changes (whether for married women or trans folks) very well [link].

Coy - Preserving public memory / community memory [link]. (Specifically for Ace Week 2020, but the basics are not exclusive to any one particular community.)

Siggy - The 2020 Ace Community Survey is open [link].
