After the UK's Supreme Court ruling lots of "Gender Critical" activists are moving on to other things Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull aka "Posie Parker", one of the most influential GCs, has just sent out a news letter saying she's pivoting to attacking immigrants partyofwomen.org/so/d1PPKBesG...

The ruling, as I understand it, did not say that trans women cannot use women's toilets as such. It said it is lawful to exclude us. Which sucks but the difference matters. If organisations discriminate against us it's a decision they are making, not something they've been forced into.

@hexadecibelle.bsky.social saw this n thought of u

@nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social you’re my MP. why are you a member of this vile institution?

A reminder of what excluding trans women from single sex spaces looks like in practice; discrimination and lack of dignity. transsafety.network/posts/scared...

those who know: steal the email sign up sheets or spoil them if you can (a cup of coffee works great) challenge the paper sellers: why are you here profiting off trans people’s pain?

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one

intrusive thought #1 (a relatively harmless earworm, le poisson steve) thankfully winning over intrusive thoughts 2-99 which are let’s say florid

sorry to do this but I don’t think Jess O’Thompson is right about this ruling completely removing the requirement for sex restrictions to take place ONLY as a proportionate means to achieve a legitimate aim please don’t panic

one simple, easy thing you can do, and we should all do: take a marker pen out with us and write TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN or TRANS MEN ARE MEN on the door of every toilet we use. *all* of us.

one thing abt organising in the legal support sector for over a decade: knowing when a law’s worth breaking. with all due respect to “our legal brains”, our next steps shouldn’t be about finessing what’s possible from the judgement. they should be about making the judgement totally unenforceable.

The Equality Act was passed in 2010, it was not the source of the social progress that led to it’s creation and it has not been the source for the progress that followed (nor has it protected us from regression). The ruling today is a bump on the road towards trans liberation, not the end of it.

Trans and non-binary people do not require anyone's permission to exist and if it must be in defiance of the same system that allows internment and state murder then be in no doubt that you are on the side of light and your comrades are with you to the bitter end.

focus on protecting those trans people most likely to be immediately affected by the removal of sex based protections. prisoners and defendants, those enduring domestic and sexual violence, those working or living in single sex environments. they need you. get it together and help them.

I lived through section 28 and the AIDS crisis before seeing legal protections enacted in the 90s. my life as a queer non binary person was rich and full of love, not circumscribed as government and law intended. you can live in this world without the permission of the state. you can.

social media’s gonna be unbearable for a bit. please go gentle on yourselves and stay off it. try and keep your group chats free of doom. spend time together doing what sustains you. we’ve lived outside the law for the bulk of our history and we can again.

fuck.

tried really hard to make it out of the house but got caught up in relentless wave of doom from loved ones regarding the Supreme Court hearing today. sometimes I wish people would knock it the fuck off.

reality tv has become a fucking nightmare. every show has a red pilled rapist in waiting or a tradwife. every fucking show.

today’s particular reason for being in love with my wife: the little group of freckles on the back of her neck just under where her hair falls 🥰

it’s that time of year when our neighbours start making pointed fb posts about gardens being private spaces not gay discos

christ natalists are stupid abolish the family and the idea that infants and children are uniquely deserving of care reward ALL care giving (including with lots of time off care giving) communise care automate what can be automated and stop punishing people who don’t love babies

day 1 of not being at work going swimmingly why can I never just chill tf out? not a rhetorical q, if you know me and know the answer please do tell me cos I am mystified

you ever feel so glad you're gay and a freak that you just start crying a little

this insistence on “openness” (which is a coded reference to avoiding gender affirming approaches) is weaselly AF how about “services treating depression should at all times remain open to all outcomes and avoid assuming or reinforcing assumptions that treatment is necessary”??

just seen the children’s spec. never seen a more guarded non specification in my life (and I’ve commissioned all kinds of really scrutinised services). just vile obvs it doesn’t help trans children. it also doesn’t support clinicians to feel safe in helping them. not by accident, either

The cis women who refuse to compete with trans women or run to the right-wing press to whine after losing to one of us are behaving EXACTLY the way men did when women started beating them in the early days of the Olympics
