When our medical treatments are stopped or delayed, suicide rates regrettably increase. We all, sadly, know that. Did you know one suicide costs £1.4million due to inquests, court costs etc. It's cheaper to treat us, yet they choose not to. Why? media.samaritans.org/documents/Th...

The videos coming out of the Gestapo terror raid in Los Angeles today are absolutely horrifying and really should wake you up to the new reality of American fascism. It’s here it’s coming for us all and unless we fight for one another we will not survive.

For those who want it in simple terms, one of the people in charge of ensuring the UK respects human rights for everyone has said some people should accept having fewer rights.

I don't think there should be in any doubt any more that the Labour leadership is deeply transphobic & has moved dangerously to the far right. They are now a trans eliminationist group and should be treated in the same way as any racist, antisemitic, homophobic or similar group.

Trans people still existing: how dare they

This always bears repeating. Getting a GRC is supposed to be the final confirmation, not the first step. Saying you shouldn't live as your acquired gender until you already have a GRC is a bit like saying you shouldn't live in the UK until you're already a British citizen.

Those attending @imc-leeds.bsky.social from East Anglia/Cambridge: as usual, I’m driving on the Sunday and Thursday via Cambridge. I’ve got two PhD students so far but there’s a space left in the car if anyone would like a cheap travel option 🚗🏰📜

I can't believe they're actually trying "trans people never had human rights in the first place". It's like something out of 1984

I know there was a lot going on in American politics today, but I wanted to take a moment to highlight how much I admire the work that Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla are doing. They're sailing an aid ship across the Mediterranean to Gaza right now, despite lacking Israeli permission.

Extremely funny. A man admitted he spent millions to help make a pedophile president as a way to make himself look better, then lost 34 billion dollars.

It doesn't matter what 'causes' transness, or whether some tran is trans for a different reason than you. What matters: bodily autonomy, access to healthcare, the right to privacy, and free bras because they just keep growing at random intervals and bras are expensive dammit

While technically correct (the best kind of correct!) this take also misses the point. Trans participation with an asterisk is still discriminatory and demeaning. It is to trans sports what civil unions were to same-sex marriage.

People talk about “benefits culture” like it’s some scam. You know what the real scandal is? That you have to fight, cry, collapse and prove you’re disabled again and again just to survive. Labour were supposed to be better, not worse. #TakingThePIP

Some people don’t realise how difficult—and sometimes impossible—making a phone call can be. I wish we could move past the assumption that it’s a simple or neutral ask. I wish people wouldn’t withdraw support or opportunities just because that’s not possible.

Quoting anti-trans activists for “balance” is like quoting racists for “balance” or antisemites for “balance” or anti-vaxers for “balance” or eugenicists for balance or climate change deniers for “balance” or flat-earthers for “balance”… You get the idea. The BBC has been at this for too long.

"Male androgenization" is a very broad term, that would potentially include cis women with PCOS. So, 1 in 10 women would be forced to compete in the male category. This moral panic about intersex people is obscene.
