A purple background with lgbtqia+ coloured stars at the top and the pride lobby logo in the bottom left. In the middle of the square is a yellow square with the contents of the post. The header is white with purple text (same as the background) reading "State Parliament to debate ban of unnecessary surgery on intersex children" and then underneath on the yellow in purple text it reads Victoria may become the first state to ban unecessary surgery on intersex babies as Victoria’s Health Minister introduces legislation which, if passed, would prohibit deferrable, irreversible procedures and treatments on intersex infants and children until they can provide informed consent.

Victoria, in yet another welcome announcement for the LGBTQIA+ community, could become the first Australian state to ban deferrable, irreversible, and unconsented surgeries on intersex children.

We applaud this proposal as a commitment to the lives of the gender diverse Victorian community

“According to Gun Violence Archive...only 1.1% of mass-shooting suspects over the past decade were transgender, roughly proportional with the overall population of transgender people. Data gathered by the Violence Prevention Project shows 98% of mass shooters are [cisgender] men.”

The shooters are cis men.

We are overjoyed to see Mitch Brown come out as bisexual. Statistically he won't be the first AFL player to be Queer but he's the first in its history to publicly identify as such. Good on him and here's hoping that more will feel comfortable coming out to help younger players be seen in their idols

Today and every day, we need to support, celebrate, advocate and lift up the LGBTQIA+ Youth. They are our future and we owe it to them to create safe and inclusive environments for them to thrive in. #WearItPurple
