I'm new to tech.lgbt so here's an #Introduction post.
My name is Binni and my pronouns are they/them.

I've worked in #libraries since the 90s. I'm also a longtime trade union rep, a committee member for #CILIP LGBTQ+ Network, a CILIP trustee, and chair for my workplace LGBTQ+ staff network. I've done workshops and webinars on unions and LGBTQ+ issues. Ask me about #ProfessionalNetworks and #TradeUnions

I'm #trans, #nonbinary and #queer and I'd be lost without my local (and non-local) trans communities. We need each other, now more than ever.

I love #music and I like to #dance. I don't go dancing or to gigs anywhere near often enough these days. I love #StarTrek more than life itself 🖖

I live in a seaside town on the Wirral. I grew up here but lived away for decades (Hull, London, Sweden).

I speak #English and #Swedish 🇸🇪 and I'm trying very hard to learn #Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

That'll do!
