Just one of the many reasons football will have a massive fight on its hands if it tries to ban trans women. Here's Man City's Kerstin Casparij, dedicating her goal today to trans people

While claiming rights based on "can't help it" is a stupid thing to do, saying that "some kind of intrinsic gender identity exists" is completely reasonable by any scientific measure. The power of a theory is what it explains divided by the number of assumptions it makes and (1/2)

It's almost as if it's not about trans people at all, but about putting women in their place and upholding patriarchy.

“biological woman” is an ideological claim NOT an objective statement of fact; in fact, it can never be the latter.

It kind of gives the game away, doesn't it: having to live in a society which includes trans women at all is "unfair." We already knew that the aim was elimination, but they're getting less and less subtle in how thet express that aim.

Happy Easter from Jonny, by the way.

And I took that personally. The law is very much an ass in this case. Any legally-minded lesbians know what we can do about this?

I am very much for ending the legal institution of marriage, so if regret is the criterion, I feel like we won this one some time ago.

Transphobia isn't patriarchy they'll say, as old white men run around the internet explaining to women we are defined by our genitals and reproductive organs. 🖕

LinkedIn is a hellscape and having to engage with it is the worst thing about being unemployed.

You know who can fuck off into the sun?

Fucking delighted to have a bunch of judges instruct me about my autonomy, I must say. Bite my lesbian arse.

it has never been more crucial for cis lesbians to be loud in support of our trans family. this is a chilling escalation of longtime tactics; attempts at a “feminist” case for transphobia ALWAYS include a disingenuous “nooooo won’t someone think of the poor lil lesbians 🥺🥺🥺” and it is such bullshit

Whenever "gender criticals" organise a protest it's thirty people max. And that includes the actual Nazis that turn up to support them. This rally for trans rights was organised in a couple of days and there are protests like this in cities and towns over the whole country

Son came in to find the sign on the right on the hall bench, having forgotten where I'd been. He finds it very bracing to have a lesbian mother, I think.

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Oh, you think you walk the path of Christ? Name one sex worker who would weep over your death

"I have in my hand a piece of paper ..."

Whose city? Our city! #TransRights #Edinburgh

Fabulous speaker now talking about the shameful state of women's rights in the UK and the shame of those who ignore women's real needs to focus on hate.

Big loud and outside the UK govt building at the end of Market Street #TransRights #Edinburgh

So many pissed off lesbian signs in this crowd. We will not be the cover for transphobia #TransRights #Edinburgh

Edinburgh trans rights protest on the move, half filling the top of Princes Street Gardens, half still on the Mound

En route to the Edinburgh #TransRights protest with a choice of signs.

This for: stop looking for consistency and laughing at logical nonsense in right wingers' rhetoric and START FIGHTING THEM

My entire feedback on the section of the John Muir Way that I walked today is: look at the tits on this sphinx in Dunbar!

oh no what if someone tries to murder her dog with a wispa again
