There's a way to go to ensure that trans mob are included in our community resourcing. Acknowledging that men are men and women are women, regardless of whether cis or trans is one thing. Also supporting access by non-binary mob.

@IndigFutures Without question, as Aboriginal people we understand, but the way funding and conservatism in our resourcing has been managed has challenged inclusion and support. I keep coming back to this remarkable report from Dr @Percy_ixi et al that *included*.

If they can do it there, why can't we? For this & for other areas of support. If you're trans mob thinking about this, or mob who're not sure how to, can you get in touch with me (here or on [e-mail]). I don't have answers, but I have some ideas. @IndigFutures

This isn't about 'owning' an idea, or attacking other mob who are not yet including. It can't be that, it's about recognising if the things that are happening to cis mob are happening to trans mob (in and out of the binary), then let's be on the right side of history.

I don't know how else to say this, we have to support our young people. There are amazing trans mob out there doing incredible work and just getting by. There are orgs that are including even when it's not explicit, and there are others that are changing how they do things.

This is also *our* conversation to have. And there is no calling out or slamming others in it. I don't think there is malice around excluding people, but it's still happening, and it would be weird if I wasn't trying to change that.
Let's change it.

also, I know I’m asking for input into something, something that could change things. You can be anonymous, it might be a 10 minute conversation or a bigger commitment, whatever you can do will help. But if we don’t do something, we’re going to lose kids one way or another.

Will be talking about this over the next week. A lot of you know the work that we’re doing with @PGDCsupport to understand how we can make a better world for trans/gender-diverse Mob. One way is to ask gender-diverse mob to take the survey, but also for orgs to reach out to us.
