transandnonbinary

This is later than I wanted to post this, but I had a lot of things to do after finishing work! Also some of these are from earlier than just the last week, but I figured it would be find for my first post of this sort. But essentially another regular thing I want to start doing is posting weekly news round-ups. I hope they'll be of use and interest to you all! ♥

I'm American, so my sources will likely reflect that. Please always feel free to share pertinent news in the comments & in your own posts to the community at any time. (:
