"Transgender people in Estonia are aware of what awaits those who turn to psychiatrist and sexologist Dr Imre Rammul, head of the medical assessment committee for gender reassignment. The questions have remained the same for years, the same applies to prerequisites and even ignorant jokes."—Aet Kuusik

After a county restricted transgender women in sports, a roller derby league said, 'No way'

A women’s roller derby league in suburban New York has thrust itself into the national discussion over the rights of transgender athletes. The Long Island Roller Rebels are suing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman over an order meant to prevent women’s and girl’s leagues and teams with transgender athletes from using county-run parks and fields. The league is gearing up for its season opener next month but faces uncertainty about where some of its upcoming games will be played. The league’s vice president says there was never any question the group would take a stand against the ban.

So I did not know Mercado Libre (basically Latin America's Amazon) has a "chosen name" option, where you can choose how you want to be treated and not only the whole site and app's interface changes accordingly; vendors and other users also treat you based on that chosen name. That's a very nice thing because I have stuff like my ID and tax information registered with them since I use their bank account and debit card services, so even though I haven't changed my legal name yet, at least I can feel less gender dysphoria and more validation when buying and selling stuff there.
