Came back from 'Representation of Diversity' eur.nl/en/eshcc/event… conference in Rotterdam - great convos and met some wonderful people, but then I thought 'another diversity conference'.... and felt a little depressed about it all!

wtf? If you need to talk to anyone, speak to trans folk! theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Trans kids scaled the walls at London Pride to share this message with the world. We need to stop using trans kids as political pawns in games for power. In fact, we need to stop using trans people as political pawns in general ♟️ In both the US & UK (and other places

Please share! 📢Calling all East and South East Asians (ESEAs) living in the UK! We're conducting a survey about anti-ESEA racialised language. Take the survey: forms.gle/hKyHHnpvi62vAF… #esea #survey #racism #mentalhealth #research #asian

In response to EVR's survey: I was called 'chopsticks' when I was at school

I was in a game group playing a word game and someone associated 'disease' with 'Asia' and I had to explain why that was wrong (it was also wrong in the game!!). I don't think he got it, sadly.

For quite a while, nurses often asked me if I was an overseas student... I wasn't hurt as such, but it's the 'where are you from?' type question. And I was probably in my 20s and 30s and definitely not a student!

I was also often approached by religious groups on the street and they would preach to me in Mandarin, again immediately assuming I was Chinese and Mandarin speaking based on my appearance.

It was a while ago, but a guy I'd just met quoted 'love you long time' to me.

Can’t believe it 🥹 Last day of Dao 🦋🎸 So proud of this amazing team! Daniel York Loh Melody Chikakane Brown @AruhanGalieva Natalie Chan @ChangAnTing Alice Kornitzer
