A little DIY resistance. Loud colours, rough edges, and absolutely no intention of keeping quiet. 🏳️‍⚧️

With Trans Day of Resistance coming up on 21st November 2026, I’ve been trying to find ways to contribute to the Sydney march and rally.

I’m still waiting for confirmation from my university’s student representative council about our proposed contribution, and I haven’t heard back from Pride in Protest (PIP) about how to donate directly. Giving money away shouldn’t be this difficult! Rather than wait around, I decided to donate to two other trans organisations. I mean, the proverbial institutional wheel would probably just crush us when it finally turns anyway.

So I’ve made two personal donations to AusPATH and the Trans Justice Project. Both organisations do important work supporting trans communities, particularly when it comes to healthcare access, advocacy, and protecting the rights of those at risk. I’ve included the donation links in case anyone else feels like contributing. Every little bit helps! 💜

As for the rally itself, I can’t even view the Instagram announcements because I’ve deleted my Instagram and Facebook accounts. Then I forget why, sign up again, remember that Meta is trash, and delete them all over again. Meta’s 2025 changes to its hateful conduct policy, which are still in force, certainly haven’t encouraged me to stick around.

I do wish more people would use platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, and Tumblr, though. I’d quite like to support my community without having to sign back up to Meta ever again! 🏳️‍⚧️
