Mis Hanes LHDT+ Hapus 2024! Heddiw yw diwrnod olaf y mis, ond dwi'n dathlu’n hwyr gyda fy hoff lyfrau sy'n dylanwadu ar fy ngwaith.

Happy LGBT+ History Month 2024! Today is the last day of the month, but I'm celebrating late with my favourite books that have influenced my work.
Y llyfr heddiw yw 'Understanding Trans Health' gan Ruth Pearce, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2018
Mae'r llyfr hwn yn hollbwysig i unrhyw un sy'n astudio pobl draws yn y DU yn yr 21ain Ganrif. Yn llawn hanes traws a meddygaeth draws, mae'r llyfr hwn yn disgrifio'r dirwedd feddygol y mae pobl draws a meddygon CHR yn ei hwynebu yn y presennol. Roedd y llyfr yn ddefnyddiol iawn ar gyfer fy ngwaith israddedig y llynedd.

Today's book is 'Understanding Trans Health by Ruth Pearce', published 2018.
This book is essential for anyone studying trans people in the UK in the 21st Century. Full of trans history and trans medicine, this book describes the medical landscape that trans people and GIC doctors face presently. The book was very useful for my undergraduate work last year.

Ydych chi wedi darllen y llyfr hwn? / Have you read this book?
Bore da! I am delighted to announce that I have started a patreon for Prosiect Llyfr Enfys. I've created the patreon as a way for you to be able to support the project and have a say in blog posts, video content and much more! Becoming a patron will help support me in my research for the dictionary and help me make it the best dictionary it can be.
Patrons will have early access to blogs, video content, physical media and will be able to vote on what they would like to see next.
Tiers start at £3.20 a month and LGBTQIA+ Welsh speaking patrons can request access to the patrons only channel in the Enfys Draig discord (links available for the server upon request!)
I would like to thank each and every person who supports my work and the project- your support genuinely means a lot and the excitement for the project is really heartening to see!
If you join today, there is a poll to vote in, two blogs ready to view and an early access post for patrons, with more content planned for the end of March. Diolch o galon am ddarllen / thank you very much for reading!

work has been hell and I'm so exhausted also the issue with my vision is back again even though I've been doing like everything the doctors say to the best of my ability but once again I'm in an eyepatch.
I still need help so bad but I literally like fall asleep after I get home bc all my levels are hell and I'm so fatigued and I don't even have the energy to make another well thought out long post just please keep helping me if you can I'm a chronically ill black lesbian with my trans gf. We need help. I'm tired.

I thought so at least! And it seems to flow in sentences well imho
Following on from this post I made yesterday, in which I listed some possible gender neutral Welsh terms for family brainstormed in the discord, I'm going to make a series of polls to find out which terms people prefer for each concept. In each poll I'll have two options and example sentences using each term (you are welcome to create your own as well). Your feedback is very much appreciated too! Reblog with tags or send an ask- either is fine!
And of course, please reblog for a larger sample size. Diolch!
(Neutral) Niece/Nephew:
(There is no gender neutral equivalent in English, though some use Nibling for this. Nibling was apparently coined in 1951!)
Naith f. - Niece/Nephew - “Bydd eich naith yn gwisgo'r siwt las” (Your nibling will wear the blue suit)
[‘nith’ (niece) + ‘nai’ (nephew) ]
Naib f. - Niece/Nephew - "Pryd mae eich naib yn cyrraedd?" (When is your nibling arriving?)
[‘nith’/’nai’ + Eng. ‘Nib-’, from Nibling]
So far this year, I have not posted on LGBT identity days as I have done in years past. I'd like to ask- did you enjoy those kinds of posts? Are they something you'd like to see more of?
I've made a poll. Would you like the identity day posts to return?
Please reblog! Diolch!
