Thank you Lush UK!

You are not defending or protecting me. youtu.be/q2MoQJP-PhA

Any time evangelical attitudes towards LGBTQ ppl come up (like today with the Swedish anti-trans doctor) I feel like it really goes missing that: LGBTQ Christians exist and have a right to the enjoyment of their beliefs and practices without being spiritually abused by anti-LGBTQ Christians for it.

I made a new zine! It's full of advice on how allies can work alongside trans people to take action in the current moment, lovingly cut-and-pasted over the words of my enemies. Plus lots of nice pictures and memes. Available as a free PDF! Read online or print your own copy! Share with everyone!

if you purchase anything "Harry Potter" you are funding this. I for one plan on unsubscribing from HBO/Max as soon her damned reboot is set for release...

Prof Jovanna Dahlgren and Prof Riitakertuu Kaltiala are, in case you hadn't guessed, open campaigners against trans rights in Sweden and Finland. The "new evidence" contradicts decades of existing evidence saying the opposite, because it was commissioned to do so. Malpractice in real time.

Worth noting that this is also what the UK government review found, it just ignored all the evidence in its conclusions.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

It is ludicrous that in 2025, people are still debating whether girls should be allowed to wear trousers instead of skirts to school in Northern Ireland. Having grown up on mainland UK, we had the option of trousers or skirts in school since the 90s! What exactly is there to debate?!

I had this pushed into my recommendations on YouTube in the immediate aftermath of the Supreme Court UK judgement. It was held at the LSE Law School. I'll admit I couldn't bring myself to watch it, but I was pretty horrified by the rap sheet of prominent gender critical activists who were speaking.

Not a single word in today's Mail about Arsenal women and the 10k fans who turned out in London to see them lift their trophy. So concerned with women's sport.

All the people complaining that the police have said the Liverpool driver was white British are the same people who made it necessary for the police to say he was white British.

"trans women think girl is when skirt" is cis people talking to cis people about the scary tranny they are unable to understand because their minds are trapped by the regime of heterosexuality. every tgirl i know has had to speedrun through sociology, history, and feminist theory to justify herself

“I wish ministers would stop staying it brings ‘clarity’, because it doesn’t,” one MP said. “It just opens up a huge legal can of worms. And then the EHRC just put rocket boosters under the uncertainty… …There appears to be limited confidence in the organisation and its chair from some MPs”

Another win for women's rights

"Patients that were seen at the gender clinic before the age of 18 had a lower risk of suicide compared to those referred as an adult." PATIENTS SEEN AT THE GENDER CLINIC BEFORE THE AGE OF 18 HAD A LOWER RISK OF SUICIDE COMPARED TO THOSE REFERRED AS AN ADULT.

The distinction between how this British judge treats transgender children and how the leading gender-critical 'human-rights charities' desire to could not be starker.

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

This is the UK/US ‘bathroom’ law to ban trans ppl in one photo. All it does is put non-trans women in danger. In this case a cis girl. Gender Critical ideology was always about deciding who looked the most like Marilyn Monroe*. Hope Kady recovers fully & her abusers are thrown in jail.

Reminder: If you support Harry Potter in any way, you are directly funding legal attacks on trans people. There is no separating the art from the artist in this case.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

Have a read of this and note: 1. BBC have it tucked away on a 'local' page - where anti trans 'victories' get days on the front page 2. The perpertrator is granted anonymity, where trans people are dragged into cases and denied their dignity 3. More legal grift www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#TodayInQueerHistory May 23 (1988) BREAKING NEWS! Lesbian activists interrupt the live broadcast of the 6 o'clock news. They were protesting Section 28, a law that forbade the "promotion of homosexuality". “We could not get the news to report on it so we thought, ‘Well, we’ll just be the news."

Watch what they do, not what they say.

A Friendly Reminder.

If you would like to know what it is like living as trans right now: I cannot think of a single week in the last 5 and a half years since I transitioned where a politician, celebrity, government or public figure of some prominence hasn't attacked trans people. It is constant. Never-ending.

The disgraceful EHRC misconduct is now drawing fire from the United Nations. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

A letter from a trans woman prisoner: her thoughts and fears about the Supreme Court ruling, and its consequences for her.

This is the country that castrated Alan Turing after his work in breaking the Enigma code because he was gay.

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... This is fucking harmful and obscene. Sexual abuse isn't caused by extreme arousal it's caused by rape culture, opportunity, impunity, sympathy for abusers. Rape is increased by the idea that rapists just can't help themselves.

You can read this story. Know that there are many more stories like this that you won't get to read. Trans kids are being systematically persecuted by our Labour Government - their lives are being made harder and harder.

And this is only the start… 🏳️‍⚧️

If our media wasn't broken beyond repair I think a good first step concerning "gender policing" (or whatever the going phrase is at the moment) is to stop calling it that and call it what it is, sexual harassment. Let's sue some of these fuckers - and the institutions that run interference for them.

Starmer bullshitting about the SC judgment to cover up govt lack of action to correct things, and Phillipson directing business back to the EHRC who then direct you to get a lawyer is *classic* organisational transphobia. It's all designed to take the heat off their own incompetence and transphobia.

remember it was 'reasonable concerns' about self id that were wild hypotheticals with no basis in reality. now look at everything...and they never once provided any evidence for their 'concerns'. we've been stripped of our civil rights and our healthcare replaced with conversion therapy.

I'm not saying we definitely shouldn't, but if we boycott the consultation, every subsequent legal challenge will be weaker. Yes they will likely ignore our responses. But that's a fact we might want to be able to bring up in Court, to international human rights bodies, and to the Government.

I really, strongly believe that boycotting the consultation is a bad idea. They have to see us fighting back. The public needs to see us fighting back. We need to see us fighting back! Especially when we know that the recent backlash against the EHRC HAS had a positive effect
