Petition: Increase funding for NHS transgender services
Currently in England trans people are regularly having to choose between waiting years to get the treatment that they need through the NHS, and paying upwards of £8000-10000 to go privately. This is unacceptable and can cause of exacerbate mental health issues.

For his final performance on The Singer Dimash sang an unpublished song of his own (I think it's his own, it's certainly Kazakh). Which I just love - he is such an ambassador for his country. <3
Daily Dimash 14: Give Me Love
In case anyone's curious, he only came 2nd in the competition. (He hadn't really counted on staying the course back when he first signed up, just hoped that he could last to the midpoint.) Whether his placing was 'China does not want a foreigner as the winner' or the fact that he was up against hugely popular established artists (the winner, Sandy Lam, is one of the most famous singers in China with a long career spanning decades) is something you can debate, but kinda pointless. He was very happy and had more than achieved what he'd set out to do. (I.e. put himself on the map.)
Anyway, from now on I will probably do a lucky dip for whatever song comes next. Although I have tomorrow's worked out. :)

Today is the 40th anniversary of the AIDS epidemic entering the public domain. The CDC reported 5 unusual cases in young gay men. I don’t know when impending doom descended on me, as a closeted 15yo gay boy, but it was soon thereafter. #AIDS 1/ https://t.co/Z4o0OQGvWs pic.twitter.com/nPuBQmueCY

A bunch of cis people and a trans woman who worked in pc world created a trans woman character on Coronation Street and that was one of the reasons the Gender Recognition Act exists today. 20 million watched her get married

You are most welcome. They're all a bit depressing this time round, alas. Will try to do something more fun today!

Aww, it happens, honey. Sometimes you gotta get some bad to appreciate the good, yeah?

And yeah, we need to grapple with the bad in the world... I try to keep a balance.
