Many of you may have noticed that some pages on http://t-vox.org/ are giving database errors and not letting you see the content. The T-Vox admins are aware of the database issue and are working on it; it's proven to be a particularly obnoxious problem but they're doing their best to get it resolved ASAP. Anyone who's good with php and Mediawiki should please get in touch to help!

In the meantime, on any page that gives a database error, just click the little View Source tab to see the raw contents of the page. There's very little markup code so it should be readable, and you can use Ctrl+F to search it for whatever you're looking for. (If you have a T-Vox account and are logged in, the Edit tab will do the same thing.) Many of the pages do not have an error, fortunately, and can be accessed as normal.

The pages, including the ones with database errors, are still editable, so please do continue to contribute!

A few popular pages that are linked to from the Resources page, which people may now have trouble finding:

* Online Support
* Support groups
* FTM passing tips
* MTF passing tips
* FTM reading list
* General reading list
* Physicians by region
* Therapists by region
* List of transfeminine people
* List of transmasculine people

You can also go to All Pages to find what you're looking for.

Swedish Sterilisation law

In Sweden just now there is a kind of war on going against the government, Its a right wing coalition and a small section is blocking the change of a law, that in it's day was a step forward, however is now outdated. The law in Sweden DEMANDS all trans* people destroy genetic material in Sweden (so trans* people cant have kids) and have a surgical procedure to ensure sterility just to get one digit changed from a odd number to an even one... (like a National Identification Number or National Insurance number yyyymmdd****) The number signifies the legal gender of a person.

I was at a protest a while ago and thought you may like to hear about it, and the campaign

Warren's Speech against the inhumane and illegal laws on forced sterilisation in Sweden was rather amazing, i have a LOT of respect for him.. This video is not safe for work however the text is. - Juts in case people may be offended or accidentally click on it, I have opted to put the link behind a LJ Cut.

Also there is a petition that you may wish to sign should you choose to do so. and a link to a Facebook protest in London.

If you choose to sign the petition Thank You.
