Me and my partner became official last night, and immediately after becoming official on our seafood date, they said “i have a gift for you” And pulled this out of their bag

At what point is this bullshit going to stop "working" and when are they going to give up on it? This guy voted against gay marriage and as recently as last year said he doesn't support it still Here he is pretending that 1) he cares about gay people and 2) that the Pride flag is homophobic

The #EHRC Chair must be a credible, impartial arbiter of human rights - with a clean record on equalities. Mary-Ann Stephenson cannot be that person. Read our full statement 👇 www.prideinlabour.org.uk/post/labour-...

Mary-Ann Stephenson is a transphobe. Pass it on!

🧵 As @iododds.bsky.social has already pointed out, the EHRC and the "supreme" court seem to want to create a historical/legal fiction that, in 2009 and 2010, parliament was proposing that The Equality Act (2010) was in fact a national toilet ban for trans people. As someone who was involved... 1/5

“Trans people aren’t losing rights, you never had any to begin with” Like hell we will accept this

Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson Not a candidate I have any immediate faith in: www.gov.uk/government/n...

🧵 Recently, a poll was carried out in the UK to see what respondents thought of the Supreme Court case about trans ppl. The findings of that court have been challenged by a number of experts & are likely to be in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights [1]

I'm having a bit of a midnight meditation on how I ended my latest essay (relevant snippet below). The thing I'm commenting on probably doesn't even register as a trend in feminist writing unless you're familiar with just how much sex-positive online feminist blogs and articles did this.

1/🧵 I am issuing an information appeal against the Information Commissioner, NHS England, and Hilary Cass personally. Yes, I’m suing Hilary Cass. It has now been over a year since the Cass Report was published, yet there is still a lack of transparency. I suspect public records were destroyed.

"Sport is inherently unfair" is a common soundbite that people use in and around debates about trans participation but it is also just a terrible ethical philosophy. Yes individual competitions are always going to be won by someone, typically someone with an advantage that allows them to win.

TACC has sent a letter to BBC News boss Deborah Turness. We’re done watching them hand the mic to hate groups while ignoring 50k+ people protesting for trans rights across the country, and 25k practically outside their HQ. This isn’t balanced. It’s biased. And we’re calling it out.

RIP Edmund White--from his excellent 1979 call for solidarity between gays and "drags" (transvestites and transsexuals) "By placing drags in a re­spected position within the movement, gays will have elevated and defended what straight society most despises in all homosexuals."

I... oh my god. amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

it's my birthday today! 🌹 I'd be grateful if you shared my art as a gift to me 🫶

had an idea for a video game: You play John Q Public. One day, some weird guys kidnap your girlfriend Liberty. Later, you receive a letter from President X, the inhabitant of the devil's white house, saying to save Liberty you must fight your way across america and face THE FINAL BOSS OF EVERY STATE

This is one of the most entertaining videos I've seen in ages. It shows the very real artistry that is required to gaslight a large number of people and watch as they love it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_z...

Happy Pride from my small independently queer owned business. Please support your local independent queer owned businesses.

Thank you all for being lovely. I don't tend to talk about my business online (which is probably a twitter hangover) but this has properly lifted me. Cheers queers x

happy pride month, it is now ILLEGAL to be cishet 🙅‍♀️

Virgo: Listen to your heart this week. If your stethoscope is sensitive enough, you'll hear the murmur that's going to put you in the ICU.

🧵 I’ve gotten quite a few questions from UK trans ppl regarding adult trans healthcare in Ireland. There is a 5-10y public waiting list [to use our version of the NHS]* so many use online providers instead. If it’s of interest to you, you can see feedback on this attached [1]

"QUEERS ARE SUCH BIG MEANIES IF YOU JUST WERE NICE MAYBE-" society is so universally hostile to queer people that the nice, timid, agreeable queers either die off or are forced to become like me to survive this is on you fuck you for making me this way and then blaming me for what survival costs

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: We’re taking legal action against the UK’s equality watchdog, the EHRC www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

In the 8 years between 2017 and 2024, The Mail, Telegraph, Guardian, Observer, Mirror, Express, and Star have printed a total of 10, 430 articles about trans people. Ten thousand, four hundred and thirty.

This petition has already been signed by over 13,000 people. That's 13,000 women voicing support for the trans community. All anti-trans rhetoric does is harm. We stand with the #trans community. Click the link to add your name to the petition.

Do we need to see some red pandas? I think we need to see some red pandas. {sound *off*, it’s very bad}

It's unfathomable much money and effort is being expended to fight against trans rights, the entirety of the religious right, groups like Heritage, ADF, etc, the whole of the Murdoch media empire, entire governments, and just about every billionaire that's losing their minds in a transphobic frenzy.

Kate Nash's new song is class: "I feel no threat from any trans person that might be in the toilets I've never felt threatened by a trans person as it turns out The 69,958 rapes that were reported between Oct 2023 & Sept 24 in the UK do slightly concern me though" open.spotify.com/track/3gylfp...
