Why it's essential we make more accessible work for disabled people. We're doing our small bit — but it shouldn't just be down to disabled people to create the work for ourselves

“You don’t look that sick to me” No kidding. I’ve got an invisible illness and have spent most of my life learning to hide it. Why? Because people don’t want to see it. They expect you to hide the pain, fatigue & loss of function. To put on a happy face for their comfort.

Is now the time to act? In this video I explain what the Supreme Court judgment does - or doesn’t say - about intersex and non-binary rights, and whether it changes the law there. #intersex #nonbinary #supremecourt #equality #women #lgbtq #trans #humanrights

The UK Supreme Court’s transphobic ruling on the definition of woman last week is a defeat for all women—even, ultimately, the self-described feminists celebrating it, and the women who will gain in the short term from their alliance with the carceral state. my latest for @thenation.com

Now is a great time to be supportive of trans people you know, or those you don't. Actually, always is a great time to speak out against the goddamn lying ghouls trying to pretend trans people are some mysterious threat to anyone, and not just people trying to live their lives.

Please more cisgender people do this. Read @jessothomson.co.uk's and @goodlawproject.bsky.social's articles on the impact of the supreme court ruling and demand primary legislation to urgently safeguard trans rights.

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling will feel heavy for many of us - especially the trans community. The mental health toll of public debate, constant scrutiny in the media, and legal decisions like this is profound. For trans people, this isn’t just political or legal. It’s personal. Exhausting. 1/4

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮 So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇

It's me, a follower who benefits from alt text. I read that shit over half of the time. My eyes work, but my brain needs to help sometimes to make sense of what I'm looking at or give me the context to remind me of the reference to get the joke. I love when people let me get the joke, too.

Personally I think if fascists are banning something right and left, that should a signal that it’s awesome actually and everyone should learn as much about trans things as they can.

Find it very annoying that in light of the horrible shit that’s happening to trans people in the US, the narrative of cis progressives is still “he won’t stop at trans people!!” when it is actually bad even if he did stop there as trans people are, in fact, people

If I could help non disabled people understand one thing about being disabled, it would be how important maintaining a baseline is. When you’re chronically ill, your baseline is everything. Even minor setbacks can be catastrophic, so we have to do a risk analysis before literally ANY activity 🧵

Lawmakers keep harming trans youth under a thin guise of care. This piece is from 2023, but the ethical analysis still applies: these laws discriminate in ways best explained not as care or caution but as acts of transphobia. www.prindleinstitute.org/2023/04/anti...
