An absolute piece of transphobic crap. Trans people have come across those who offer ‘solutions’ to the trans ‘question‘ many times before, and it always involves trans people losing their rights and becoming second class, ‘Jim Crow’ style citizens.

Not good enough. Download Festival needs to clarify that trans people should use the toilets that align with their sex - not the toilets that bigots say trans people's sex is. www.kerrang.com/download-fes...

Yet another example of how well-meaning liberals and "public safety" moderates embrace surveillance technologies at their own peril. The license plate readers that a bunch of cities set up to "fight crime" and prevent car thefts are being used to track immigrants and look for folks getting abortions

trans girlies: do not underdose before you check your hormone levels so that your results indicate a higher dose of estrogen is required and your doctor writes you a higher dose script but then you resume the normal dose and you’re given excess estrogen over the prescription period. don’t do that.

Alyssa is an utterly amazing woman with incredible knowledge across multiple domains and honestly one of the brightest and most competent people I have met. She would be an absolute credit to any organisation but nobody is offering a job because she’s trans. Somebody do her and yourself a favour?

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

"Why can't trans and non-binary people just go do their own thing and leave us alone?" Trans and non-binary people go and do their own thing "LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING!"

A 1053 page review of gender affirming care le.utah.gov/AgencyRP/rep... as reported by @motherjones.com says “gender affirming care reduces suicide risk and improves mental health outcomes in transgender people, with the effect most marked in the u18 age group.” But Wes has other ideas. 🤬🤬🤬

An update on the withholding of suicide data🧵 Remember how in Dec 2024, after 5 months of chasing NHS England and the DHSC as to whether Alice's data was sent to the DHSC for a report into trans youth suicide by Prof Appleby, I made a FOI of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust to ask them...

The far right are coming for abortion in the UK. People said it would never happen. But it is a natural consequence of the reactionafu anti-feminist politics we have allowed to fester - even if it has been dressed up as "sex-based rights". Time to fight back. www.thenational.scot/news/2519525...

I've said before that while trans people have no actual advantage in sports, if they did and the choice was between "no sports" and "no bodily autonomy for trans people" anyone who would choose to keep sport is a monster.

Prof Jovanna Dahlgren and Prof Riitakertuu Kaltiala are, in case you hadn't guessed, open campaigners against trans rights in Sweden and Finland. The "new evidence" contradicts decades of existing evidence saying the opposite, because it was commissioned to do so. Malpractice in real time.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

Can you imagine being in the GC strategy room meetings about this. Like "well fuck all the evidence shows that PBs work, what are we going to say?" "How about the evidence they work shows they don't work?" "well we haven't got anything better". I bet they can't believe it worked either

pride is next week pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan. do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

I knew I was trans from some of my earliest childhood thoughts. I also very quickly worked out that if I ever told the people “in charge”, I would be utterly fucked.

The fact that we have a Member of Parliament effectively endorsing and certainly normalising incitement to violence against a marginalised and racialised social group says everything about just how dangerous the spread of fascist logic in British society has become.

"At an internal EHRC meeting last week, one staffer asked Falkner why the only additional legal counsel she had taken on to help with the guidance was a barrister who previously acted for one of the women’s groups that took the issue to the supreme court in the first place." 👀

Parent? Kid come out as trans? You have two roads ahead of you: 1. Be a decent human being and help this person you’re responsible for who trusts you. Or 2. Decades hence, wonder why you’re dying alone only to have your ashes disposed of in municipal waste without ceremony.

I remember like 15 years ago reblogging a tumblr post about how "water is wet" studies are still important because it shuts down critics. ...but in those 15 years I have seen it play out like this EVERY time when the results do in fact find that making people jump though hoops isn't helpful
