We won't be erased.

All those screaming "only two sexes" and then going on about genetics are proving only one thing: their ignorance. Like, failed first year high school biology ignorant. And the science doesn't give a rat's arse how many cases you win, Joanne. You'll still be wrong. Because the facts say so

UK Supreme Court defining "Woman"... Setting back Trans rights, & throwing science away for "simplicity". We are more than a bunch of cells.

This feels quite hollow when the court also decided they didn't need to hear from a single transgender person over the course of their case.

Waking up to devastating news for British trans people facing a truly awful ruling from their Supreme Court. This follows a manufactured campaign of lies, panic, and ignorance based on a playbook now unfolding in the US. I know the fight continues, but my heart is with you today and always

Please cis people step up on this one. Get loud and make it clear there is a problem here.

My plan for dealing with this ruling in practice is to just carry on as before until I'm stopped and I think that should be the plan most other trans people in the UK carry on with while we find a way forward.

There will come a day, I promise you, where trans women and trans men and all our non-binary kin across the world we share are offered the dignity under the law that we deserve. And where their ghoulish celebrating will be confined to a sad paragraph in a history book.

Yeah, this is a real excerpt of UK transphobes in judicial robes, tying themselves into pretzels to explain how they produced this ruling on an "equality act". Even their transphobic sex discrimination contains a second layer of new and obvious sex discrimination that they've now written into it:

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many Democrats in Congress still don’t have an account on Bluesky. Just as bad, many of those who do have accounts here don’t post on a regular basis. Is it ignorance or laziness on their part? If so, don’t they have staffers handling their social media?

I never understood why things like eyesight, dental, hearing, aren't generally covered under countries that have publicly funded healthcare, like on the NHS in the UK. They are a part of our body too, it just always seemed weird. (Also the ridiculous price of frames, just feels wrong too).

really wild to think that a lot of this boils down to two narcissistic manbabies with daddy issues getting their feefees hurt when people made fun of them

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

a nice reminder to the press that there is nothing you can do to pacify these people or buy yourself leniency

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

Really important to keep informed and help be aware and share the nuances and misinformation and that gender affirming care does so much good, and to keep fighting misinformation. And that respect and dignity to everyone is becoming such a low bar that keeps being stepped on instead of being raised.

A History lesson that has a lesson about political spectrum, how people can have values from multiple areas Left - Right. Understanding extremism, for example, Nazi's were far right extremists. A thank you to every teacher, every educator who doesn't bow down to complaints from Conservatives! 👏👏👏

Everyone needs to realise that the Religious Right talk in code. So “eliminate diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI)” is actually “promote straight, white, male supremacy.” White Supremacy in short. Also, THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN WOMEN’S RIGHTS. At all. “Women’s Rights” to them is solely trans hate.

Filmed Arsenal’s LGBTQ+ History Month video three years ago today. I got to talk about what it’s like being a trans Arsenal fan. They ended up using the video every match for the following two seasons, which I thought was really cool, so a lot of you may have seen my face at the Emirates. 🏳️‍⚧️⚽️🏳️‍🌈

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends. It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
