Fucking *love* that something that happened to me over a decade ago is still causing me to wake up from nightmares in a state of panic terror 🙃✌️ /s The most frustrating part is, I doubt the person who did it to me even remembers.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

Does anyone have any resources for trans adults on dealing with grief over the childhoods we never got to have and the years we lost? /gen

Me: let's set achievable transition goals My intrusive thoughts: fuck that, let's compare you, someone who started HRT 10 months ago at 24, to someone who transitioned socially at 2 and medically at 12 (Kim Petras) 🙃😭

Ahh, yet another evening of researching the prices of surgeries you desperately want to feel at home in your body bc you can't wait 5-10 years, and feeling shit bc you can't afford the £20k+ price tag 🙃😭

This is a cross party statement in solidarity with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social after what happened this weekend. Thanks to all the LGBT and Feminist organisations within all the respective parties for signing this, and it was amazing working with you all.

🚨 STATEMENT 🚨 Please read Out for Independence's statement on the recent changes to the Hate Crime and Public Order Act.

Just had a transphobic Amazon driver at my door. Bc my parcel needed age verification, he got speaking with my dad who got to the door first. They complained that the verification is getting ott (fair) and the guy said "yeah I'm new to the job, I was in the army in the Falklands 3 months ago." 1/3

When any pupil goes to school they should be able to do so safely, have appropriate toilet and changing facilities they can use, and be listened to and have their identity respected: www.scottishtrans.org/protect-trans-pupils

JK Rowling: ✅ Holocaust denier ✅ Epstein supporter ✅ Pedoph!lia defender She is truly the most fitting figurehead for the anti-trans movement

If my dad still insists I'm a guy come summer, should I start walking around taps aff with my C cups out?

Elon Musk is claiming he’s risked everything to protect kids from sexual abuse mere weeks out from laughing while his AI chatbot was generating nearly 8,000 sexual abuse images per hour that overwhelmingly targeted girls and young women

Idk what to put here, but as a transwoman who has no intention of going to prison, this still terrifies me. Knowing that, if I'm ever jailed I'll be at a higher risk of SA and death by suicide than a cis person, makes me feel unsafe as a citizen. Everyone, incl. prisoners, deserveS human rights.

Wall-to-wall discourse around sexual violence is pretty unbearable, and I say that as someone who reports on discourse about sexual violence. For anyone who needs to hear this, it is okay to take a break. It is okay to stop scrolling or to not be able to come up with something to say right now.

The prospect of seeking medical help for gender dysphoria-related depression and anxiety is terrifying. What if the person doesn't understand gender dysphoria, or is an outright transphobe? What if you're admitted as an inpatient and you're forced to share facilities with the wrong gender?

Being trans while living in an environment where you can't transition feels like Covid. You know what you want to be doing with your life. You have dreams of it every night. But you can't realise those dreams. Sometimes you get breaks where you can be yourself, but you always know lockdown awaits.

Went for my first bra fitting yesterday! Thank you to my bestie, Ailsa, for going with me 😊 (and to Phyllis at M&S for not hate criming me ✌️😂)

This is an occupying force.

I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

Ironic that the people who want me and my community out of society or dead just because we're trans (in order to "protect the children") are awfully silent now that Elon Musk and Twitter are actively profiting from AI child p*rn.

Rewatching Stranger Things and am getting MAD gender envy from Natalia Dyer ❤️ Also, merry Christmas lol

Not even 9am and my dad has already announced that Reagan was the last good US president. Jesus fucking save me 🙃😂

Soon we’re all going to be penalized for speaking unkind words about the führer and liberals — the resistance will be labeled as “Enemies of the State” and become National Security Threats. They’re going to take away our voices if we don’t stop them.

When trans people express dismay that society and our families hate us on such a deep level, the usual gaslighting kneejerk is to tell us we must be exaggerating for dramatic effect. Wretchedly, this (awful, unnecessary) poll disproves that line of argument very neatly. I WISH we were exaggerating.

Greta Thunberg has just been arrested for opposing genocide outside Aspen Insurance, which underwrites Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer — complicit in the genocide of the Palestinian people — walks free. He should be arrested and sent to The Hague.

If you can't handle the possibility of your kid being queer or trans, don't have kids. Go to therapy instead.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Just heard my dad tell my youngest brother that he shouldn't try to live up to other people's expectations. Funny. When I stopped living up to my dad's expectations and came out as queer and trans, he threatened me with homelessness. 🙃

The White House is now just explicitly stating its intent to kill and maim non-white people here and around the world and white men are *still* insisting they are at a societal disadvantage

You ban gender affirming care, people will just get it from an online source. It's the same policy result as the failed war on drugs.

At a Christmas concert at my former high school. Been here an hour and I haven't had to take any antipsychotics - on track for a personal best here!

Have my first session of electrolysis tomorrow, so I haven't shaved for two days. Gender dysphoria is getting to me in the meantime. Any dolls have advice for dealing with it, even in situations like this where it's beneficial in the long run?

Imagine being this much of a piece of shit father.

Spoke at a conference for the first time today on a topic that's really close to my heart. Pretty proud of myself tbh! When I told my parents, my mum responded, "Okay." 🙃🥲

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the 1,028 folk who placed their trust in me – and every activist who joined us While this wasn’t the outcome we’d hoped for, we only fell short by 24 votes in the final round! [SNP’s 1387 to Reform’s 1411] Our hope for a better West Lothian lives on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Body dysmorphia has now invaded my dreams 🥲

Nothing stops #ActiveSNP... except maybe a flat tire! As soon as it's repaired, it'll be back out to campaigning for @snpcallum.bsky.social. If you live in the Whitburn and Blackburn ward, you have until 10pm tonight to give Callum your #1 vote!

🚨 TODAY’S THE DAY 🚨 Let’s build a more affordable and better connected West Lothian! And polls are open until 10pm ⏳ If you like the sound of that, then please 🗳️ Vote Callum #1 today 👇

🚨Polls are now open in the Whitburn and Blackburn by-election.🚨 🗳️Vote Callum Cox: SNP before 10pm tonight! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How many pieces came out in the New York Times and the Atlantic accusing trans people of erasing the word woman. Here's the Trump administration literally banning the use of the word and not a peep.

Called my mum out for continuing to misgender me and generally refusing to acknowledge and actively hiding the fact I'm trans. Felt good standing up for myself, but I feel bad for maybe hurting her. Does sticking up for yourself against parents get easier?

Just been told I have to decide between waiting months to years on an accessible council house and being miserable stuck at home, or moving out somewhere privately, paying stupid money for a place and being put to the back of the list for a council house.

The real victim at the centre of this absurd case is very clearly Dr Beth Upton To witness the way in which she’s been dehumanised and vilified by Peggie and their (Sex Matters) legal team, the tribunal judge, the British media, and UK politicians has been beyond horrifying Solidarity Beth

🚨 STATEMENT 🚨 Please read Out for Independence's statement on the Employment Tribunal ruling in the Sandie Peggie v Fife Health Board case. ✌️

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case. She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

I got medical transphobia'd by my GP before half 10 this Monday morning - even for them, that's a record 🙃

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

▪️ Lift the puberty blockers ban ▪️ Reject EHRC guidance ▪️ Legislate to ensure single-sex spaces are trans-inclusive by default. Posting this from my speech at the Trans Day of Remembrance vigil, because yet again trans women and girls are being excluded from their spaces.

Ich bin nicht nur bei der Antifa, sondern auch bei der Antififa.🙄
