Guidance on responding to the EHRC consultation is now available on our website, made in partnership with others in the LGBTQ+ sector. You'll find it at: transactual.org.uk/equality-act...

Everything you need to know about the British voting public

There’s just no need to be an arsehole. If you’re grumpy, go for a fucking walk

incredibly nasty

Bad vibes

Clinicians who work with trans people are seen as too biased to lead studies, but advising on how to exclude trans people from single sex spaces doesn't preclude you from discussing if trans people can use single sex spaces

35 yo girl got tricked in getting a haircut by the evil trans ideology.

“You could work for UNIT.” “Oh, no, thanks.” “I was talking to your unborn child.” #DoctorWho

They took this from us

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

Every Unbound story is awful. However, I also had no books at my own launch party with a different publisher and my editor left a few months after publication. As far as I can tell, publishing is a mess where everyone’s too scared to call it out until it’s too late

What's going on with Queer As Folklore? *Deep intake of breath* part 1

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

Reform’s “British DOGE” when they finish up looking at Kent Council:

no it’s actually because of the slavery

i guess this must be what happens when you believe your vagina has magical powers that makes it impossible for you to be an aggressively creepy danger no matter how disgusting the things you say and no matter how aggressively you behave

Every day the anti-trans activists get a platform to say “why haven’t the trannies disappeared from public life yet? We won! They’re disgusting and delusional!”

Quite a lot of people poo-pooing that article in the Guardian about "Blue Labour" opposing "DEI" as being a click-bait irrelevance highlighting a group of no more than 4 Labour MPs. That's quite possible, but it's less than reassuring while the Labour leadership leans heavily into transphobia.

The mental leaps you must have to make to stay in the same party as this and still think you're left of centre. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Politics and policy discussion based purely on vibes rather than any tangible (and easily accessible) evidence or data.

This is still making me CACKLE

#Unbound

Today, the first day of pride month, the English FA begins its ban on trans women in women’s football. Checked the “LGBT inclusion” page on their website to see if anything had been updated & it still contains this paragraph. “address barriers to participation”? You are the barrier!

If we take the words of the ex-Prime Minister of the UK seriously, she shares the same antisemitic dogma as Anders Breivik and Adolf Hitler

Looking forward to seeing the BBC quote an organisation campaigning for the culling of all animals in their article about the next Zootopia film, for balance.

As people ask "how did Truss ever become PM?" it's worth remembering that large parts of the media appeared to take her seriously

RTD writing the finale:
