otoh i get being touchy about the Detrans Grifter (the genuine kind who aligns with terfs and GCs to strip away trans health care) but otoh some people are deeply fucking reactionary and gross about this. hyperscrutinizing someone’s words and work who is demonstrably on the side of trans people…

there are a LOT of cishet people on this site who feel far too comfortable talking shit about various queer people, and usually trans women in particular, because they believe them having queer mutuals means they are allowed to participate in our already stupid enough infighting.

Very interesting to see the game industry talk about this phenomenon as 'deprofessionalisation'. Definitely more visible now in the wake of all the layoffs, but really this has been unfolding for 15+ years now as both platformisation and gigification. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-de...

My family is in an emergency situation. I may need to be displaced again, so I need some money for transportation, food, and treatment for my mother when the crossing opens. The situation is very critical. I need your help now by: GFM I receive your donation Our campaign link ⬇️🫂🇵🇸 gofund.me/69f962fc

Jess has been critical for helping someone like me, who lives in the US, understand what's going on in the UK w/r/t trans rights. Harassing them is so shitty imo.

Jess O'Thompson tirelessly works to cover trans issues, advocate for trans lives, and was integral to rolling out a comprehensive summary of the recent UK Supreme Court opinion within 24 hours of it going live. They break their body and wellbeing to fight for trans community. This is their thanks.

life in the UK as a trans guy without a GRC

I can't stop thinking about how the "Gender Critical" response to hundreds of leading UK biologists signing a letter saying sex isn't binary or immutable is "I can't believe that school kids know more about biology than these biologists". Can you imagine saying that out loud without thinking?! Mad

wip ^_^

Unnecessary heterosexuality in books pisses me off. It's unrealistic that a man would fall for a woman when he could instead fall for his bros. His companions. His comrades.

We once had beautiful clothes, a home, toys, and even food for my cat. I can't remember the last time we had sweets. Our home is now rubble, and we wear the same clothes every single day. Even Kifah’s beautiful smile is gone now💔. We are pleading for your compassion. Please, save us.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😥

Okay the areas where most of the people on Bluesky are (particularly Khan Younis) are being displaced- so I am going to start a master thread here of people who need help with evacuation. I’ll keep adding to it so check the bottom part too:

Never even made it on TV in most countries. There is definitely a concerted effort to hide the fact that the majority of the world absolutely hates this genocide

I know I wasn't alone in dreading this debate today, and with good reason. This is a surprise and, for a change, the good kind. This is the kind of wrong I'm happy to be.

A takeaway from this debate - pretty much all the supportive MPs quoted their constituents as to why they support trans rights. We are cutting through Keep writing to your MPs. If you wrote last month, write again. Write to your MP until you can’t type anymore. Make our voices impossible to ignore

We need to be relentless in pushing MPs on the Supreme Court ruling. We already hear that it has been noticed, and it is making a massive effect. And we thought we would put a bunch of these letter writing campaigns into a small thread.

‼️Help me 🥺❤️‍🩹🇵🇸 We, Lulu's family, lost our home and everything💔 Please help us, the situation here in Gaza is catastrophic😭 I hope you will donate and share my story🙏🥺 🔗GFM_Donation link🫂 gofund.me/35df2d2e

Please, save us.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😥 tinyurl.com/save-amir-ki...

I am struggling to cook something for my sick mother, as the cost of buying firewood is now $70 per day. Hell on earth gaza!! If you can help my family please do 💔

funny to say this bc idk if i actually count as a Feminist TM because i have marxist critiques of it but i like a lot of stuff happening w/ transfeminism bc it actually extremely easily lines up with marxist analysis which is why i tend to gravitate around it

I'm watching Parliament's debate on self-ID so you don't have to and it's not bad so far (reader, we are only 30 minutes in).

🚨EXCLUSIVE | Labour set to formally declare it believes trans women are men, says leaked NEC paper. The paper, due to be voted on tomorrow (20 May), means Labour will **ban** trans women from: ❌ All-women shortlists ❌ Women's Conference ❌ Being Women's Officers See below👇

Seeing a growing cohort of "marxists" complaining that transfeminists "only do identity politics" is really fucking depressing. Is this the 1970s/80s all over again? Feminist politics without class analysis is not worth any sort of attention, but class analysis without feminism isn't much better.

I cannot emphasise this enough because people will accuse trans women talking about our experiences of misogyny or SV of getting off on it or lying for validation - objectification is not a compliment, neither is being assaulted. Nobody thinks like this besides GCs and other misogynists.

We desperately need your help. 🙏🏻 We are in dire need of food, please help us. 😭 We haven't received donations for 3 days, and our situation is getting worse. We have three young children who are suffering from hunger. 😔 Repost and donate food, please. 💔😭 gofund.me/35fdca7d

"We are exhausted." You're free to take the boot off our necks any time you want, nobody's forcing you to keep it there against your will, sorry if the squirming is a little uncomfortable underfoot but it's entirely in your power to stop any time you want; a luxury you do not afford your victims.

If you can, please donate. Share either way.

They are literally forcing all of Gazans into a concentration camp in what used to be Rafah in southern Gaza, after destroying it. They are now planning on annihilating Khan Younis. There’s never been a genocide so thoroughly documented as it was live-streamed straight to our phones.

I think watering down "detrans grifter" to mean "anyone who dares to have opinions after detransitioning" might be a bad idea actually, "detrans grifter" describes a very specific type of political figure

AFAIK the EHRC consultation isn’t live yet. It may open later today (I’ll keep checking) or may be delayed. Either way, when it does open *no need to rush*. Take the full 6 weeks to read, consult & compile your response. It will probably be announced here when it opens: www.equalityhumanrights.com
