Just finished 3 days running the LGBTI clinic at Northside Health NT in Darwin. Thanks Dani Stewart, Sam Harley and team for creating the opportunity to serve the LGBTI community.

Great piece comparing various Australian studies that include sexual orientation questions. Thanks Paco and Alice. How many Australians are not heterosexual? It depends on who, what and when you ask theconversation.com/how-many-austr… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

I just participated in the TGD Grand Round for the Women’s hospital with this wonderful panel of experts to a packed house. Thanks Bec and Mat for getting this happening. May big things come from this in LGBTIQ inclusive practice at the hospital.

70 wonderful LBQ docs, Med students and partners here for the conference. Great vibe #almaconf2019

End of anotherLGBTIQ Taskforce term. It has been great working with our very progressive Victorian Government. Especially family violence, mental health, trans health care, intersex rights. So much is improving.

Really important article in The Guardian defending the human rights of trans and gender diverse young people to be treated with dignity, and have access to medical affirmation care.

#QueerDisplacements At first conference in Australia about LGBTIQ refugees and people seeking asylum. Loved reference to Hannah Arendt -lack of nationality should not erase humanity or the right to speak and be heard

youtu.be/6-cL7mh4EiU Just a gorgeous gorgeous video. Please take five minutes out of your day to hear the queer refugee narrative in their own words. #QueerDisplacements

Eliana Rubashkyn established Rainbow Path NZ to link recent arrivals with longer term LGBTI refugees and also to help them find services. Such an important model for Aus to consider. However it is completely unfunded. We need to establish it with funding. #QueerDisplacements

Liz Rickman shared her experience of being detained as a terrorist in Sweden for her climate activism. Loss of privilege momentarily for using her body to demonstrate what was in her heart. #QueerDisplacements

Ruth's comment that LGBTQI orgs often don't consider refugees/ ppl seeking asylum echoes Bess Hepworth 🇦🇺🇭🇰🏳️‍🌈's comment re QANTAS being at Mardi Gras whilst also deporting ppl. Mainstream LGBTQI orgs have a responsibility towards queer refugees. #QueerDisplacements
