Disabled trans folk crowdfunding for emergency healthcare and reeducation, please boost
Hey friends,
I've seen a gynecologist today. There's a medical emergency, ovarian and/or fallopian tube.
The train was 52€, we have to go back after the ultrasound (in a few days) so we'll have to pay the 52€ next time.
We'd need 320€ in total to pay for my karate year too for my reeducation, it's my only activity IRL.
Please help if you can, any donation or boost matter. Thanks 💙

Nations like Malaysia, Russia, Syria, Nigeria, and Senegal directly opposed it.

The Black Composers of New Orleans Opera Are Finally Getting Their Due
And it’s all thanks to this mother-daughter dream team.
Although classical music has always included the contributions of people of color, they have rarely had the recognition or opportunities afforded to white musicians, composers, singers, and stage producers.
