Trans Tech Tent

Word of mouth is cool, but what if we actually published a guide on how to request help from us? If you're Trans or Non-binary in the Cardiff area we can fix most tech free! 👇 👇

Learn to not burn yourself out, learn to campaign long term instead of clustering around each new emergency. Know who is taking your rights away, and who is just being played against you with no say in the matter.

Join communities and grow into them, develop skills that help the people around you. Learn how to fix electronics, file taxes, speak other languages; fill the gaps you see in your community and build relationships with other marginalised groups. Share your experiences.

A small reminder to the community: Stop trying to appeal the conscience of people who have none. The people who made these decisions know there is collateral damage, it makes them just as happy. Instead, ask what you can do in your communities to build resilience.

So we put this into our drafts 2 years ago... Anyway we're doing socials again for obvious reasons, and we've been doing repairs basically non-stop this whole time anyway!

Today I'm releasing my (mini) zine detailing the work I did with @TransTechTent last summer (tech needs for trans people in Wales, and how the Tent is helping to level the playing field)! Link: mun-tonsi.net/t3-zine

We now have the quote for replacing our window- it’s in the region of £450. Unfortunately, with the excess on our insurance it doesn’t make sense to claim. If you would like to contribute towards the cost you can donate to our running costs here: queeremporium.co.uk/shop#!/Support…

We're still looking to hear from people who have used our services! If you'd like to be involved in shaping the future of tech and mutual aid orgs all over the country, get in touch at: 2004599@swansea.ac.uk or hello@transtechtent.com twitter.com/TransTechTent/…

A full participant information document explaining the study fully are available both from ourselves (hello@transtechtent.com) and Genevieve (2004599@swansea.ac.uk) Thanks for helping!

We're helping with a research project, and we'd love to hear the outputs from it to improve our services! If you've received help or advice from any of us at T3, we'd appreciate if you could get in touch with Genevieve to arrange an interview to discuss your experiences !

Hi folks! I'm running a study with @TransTechTent (see graphic). I'd like to talk to folks who use TTT/volunteer with them, to understand trans technology projects in South Wales (current/future). Interested in taking part? Email: 2004599@swansea.ac.uk. Retweets appreciated!

It wouldn't be a trans tech tent without some kind of tech shenanigans going on. So we decided to protect some screens for the community, absolutely free!

We are officially a trans tech tent again!! 🏳️‍⚧️💻⛺ (we also have power if your phone's dying!)

Good afternoon BQP 👋

We're proud to announce the launch of our website! Trans Employers lists UK companies that offer gender dysphoria medical cover as part of their medical packages

That's right we fixed a car! Not content with phones and laptops, one of our amazing panda helpers has shared their mechanical expertise to help a queer in need. Tech is all about keeping us connected and bringing us closer and that includes big scary metal boxes with wheels :3

Times are tough for us all right now, which makes asking for help so much harder even if it's needed more than ever. If you have the means to help, and would like to ensure that trans people in Wales can access the support they need to then please visit buff.ly/3efqFFY

You can share your own pride events with us and everyone else via this nifty Google doc 3 buff.ly/40tPMv1

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all open queers, closet queers, and full camo tactical queers. We thought we'd increase local visibility by sharing our map of pride events around Wales 3 buff.ly/3JY8S5q

What an incredible year it's been, none of this would have been possible without the help of our wonderful team of volunteers, or the financial support from you, the community. To find out more about how you can support us too visit buff.ly/3oCwm5x
