“Imagine being burdened with that much debt — debt you didn’t even consent to" pillowtalkscotland.substack.com/p/financiall...

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

Gisèle Pelicot, who was unknowingly subjected to over a decade of rape by her husband and dozens of other men, gave her closing statement in one of France's biggest criminal trials. She called out "macho" and "patriarchal" attitudes on rape, saying, "it’s time we changed the way we look at rape."

So on Insta and Facebook I (an online sex educator) can't say the word 'sex'. On TikTok they just take down my posts. X is unusable and discourages me posting links. BlueSky is my only hope. (That and a democratically run and properly moderated platform run as a mutual not-for-profit)

What a week we have ahead! 💃 This Friday, we're collaborating with @takeoneaction.bsky.social and SQUIFF to host 'Making Masculinities', an evening of short films and discussion about all things masculinity www.takeoneaction.org.uk/event/making...
