This pride month, to celebrate, help destroy the labour party, all of it, burn it to the ground, even the “good ones“ can get fucked, fuck them all

Labour is the party of trans epistemicide. Not content with their legal assaults on our community, they continue to attack the way society understands us and elide the truth of our existence, propagating fictions about us to further push our ostracisation. www.scenemag.co.uk/new-health-s...

Having read the EHRC for myself, I have nothing clever to say right now. But I will say this. Fuck Labour and their segregationist policy, and fuck everyone who voted for them. Also, importantly, we will win. We will tear this policy down. You cannot legislate us out of every day life, we will win

I went to the gym today and used the mens changing rooms. And tomorrow I'm gonna go to the gym and use the men's changing rooms. And the next day... well, I'm not gonna go to the gym because it's good to have rest days... But the day after THAT...

Trans people wait literally years for a *First* ppointment with a Gender Identity Clinic, only to be asked by a supposed medical professional if we are dirty little perverts who get off to cross dressing, and then get denied healthcare. But sure, tell me again how the NHS is making people trans!?

Once again the Good Queers of York are mutinying the capitalist and corporate York Pride with a Queer Mutiny on the Little Knavesmire! The Mutiny was an incredible success last year, so if you want to enjoy genuine Pride for what it should be then make sure you come along this year!

Devastation as a library book I've had on loan since the start of the PhD, with lovely sticky note tagged sections, has been requested by another user...

One of the things that I find strange about academic writing on trans topics is having to term subtle differences in types of transphobia. Like the UK Government, which (supposedly) recognises trans people is still wildly transphobic but in a different way to those who see transness as a disease...

Okay, hear me out. What if the BBC made Mackenzie Crook the new show runner for Doctor Who? I'd watch the fuck out of that.

Wes Streeting origin story

Wes is gay like Dumbledore is gay, like yeag i guess he is but he sure as fuck aint welcome at pride

We asked 100 people who would they rather be PM; Keir Starmer of Wes Streeting? Sadly, nobody replied to our question as each and every one of them ran screaming and crying from our pollsters rambling something along the lines of "why God why!?"

I share the worry of trans people at the prospect of PM Wes Streeting. At Health he ignored the voices of young trans people and restricted gender-affirming care, causing harm to a generation. It is up to Labour to choose its leader, but members must also choose a better direction on trans rights

If Labour had just put people in place that liked trans people, none of this would be happening. It's not that trans people are powerful, it's that people who hate trans people tend to hate loads of others as well, and prefer making things worse than doing anything to help.

I mean I’m in favour of Wes Streeting resigning the health post given he’s actively harming a group of people by holding it, but I’m just trans so what do I know

Could have done without Adam Price in the cabinet, and I think a trick was missed by not having Becca Brown or Carrie Harper as Minister for Local Government, Housing, and Planning. Delyth Jewell is a top appointment, as is Mabon ap Gwynfor. At any rate, heads and shoulders better than before...

Remember that Wes Streeting's majority is only 528 votes. Hardly secure. Regardless of what political manoeuvres this neo-liberal bigot pulls between now and the next election, it's imperative that he loses his seat at all costs.

There aren't many candidates for people worse than Starmer to take over the leadership and become PM, however Wes Streeting is definitely the worst of the worst...

Following his election today as First Minister of Wales, I have written to Rhun ap Iorwerth to urge him to prioritise his manifesto commitments to trans equality as a matter of priority for the first 100 days of this @plaidcymru.bsky.social government 👇 I encourage everyone else to do so too.

This is section 28 again btw. Not teaching that trans people exist as fact, when it is a fact, is a ban on teaching about us.

Plaid Cymru's minority government plan is genuis. Unless Labour decide to vote with Reform, everything on the Plaid manifesto can get through the Senedd. Labour have two choices, support progressive policies or destroy themselves even further by voting with Reform.

🎶Absolutely amazing scenes in Wales as Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth - set to be Wales's first pro-independence first minister - is interrupted by an impromptu rendition of the Welsh national anthem

Privileged to be talking at the KSA 2026 Conference about the Suontaka individual and KS identity in the archaeological record. As an endosexual individual myself, however, I recognise that as an outsider it's my duty to listen to the KS community here today and work their voice into my project.

Hang it in the Louvre 📸 If a picture says a thousand words, then this image from Caerdydd Penarth yesterday is a Magnus Opus on what happens when Labour abandons the left. Hope has spoken, and it is winning. @greenparty.org.uk

The one very important lesson from Wales and Scotland that should be read from these Senedd and Holyrood results is that explicitly progressive and left-wing politics is deeply deeply popular, extremely electable, and *the* only way to successfully stop Reform UK and the rise of fascism.

Good afternoon Wales, and it is a very good afternoon in Wales 💚

I know the constituency is much much bigger than just Bangor, but I'm one proud as fuck former Mayor of Bangor this afternoon! Get wrecked Reform 🖕

Delighted to see @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social elected to the Senedd in Caerdydd Penarth. His presence in the chamber will be invaluable for the progressive voice. And first Green seat too! Da iawn

Cymru am byth ❤️ Fuck you Reform

Potentially some of the most important analysis of the day...

If you have the privilege of your work allowing you to watch the election results as part of your work (or if you are off work), then I highly recommend tuning into the Welsh or Scottish counts today where you will see progressive hope coming out on top. A perfect tonic to Reforms gain in England

This is the problem. A pitch to voters "turning to Greens and Reform". You have to actually choose between the voters who want what they perceive as a socially liberal socialist environmentalist party and the ones who want fascism. You can't appeal to both, and now they all hate you.

Voting Green to Stop Reform demonstrated to full force here. Hope over Hate

Watching Reform UK speak it's clear why they were the only party in Wales to oppose outlawing politicians lying... Reform UK don't care about the truth, they just lie and say whatever they think sounds good in the moment.

Was worried I'd fall asleep watching the BBC election coverage, however I'm so enraged by the politicians they have on I think I'll power through on hatred alone.

Delighted to say that a co-authored paper I was part of regarding the Cass Review has passed peer review and is firmly on the publication pathway with a trans studies journal. I'll share more details after the copy edit stage when we have an expected publication date. Stay tuned!

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

In some personal news, I'll be making my Wolrd Team Carcassonne Online Championship debut tomorrow as part of the UK team to face Ecuador 🇪🇨. Ecuador are a new face to the tournament and should pose an interesting challenge which I'm very much looking forward to testing myself against.

Dozens of Universities in the UK tore up their trans equality guidance in response to the OFS fining the Uni of Sussex. Now that that fine has rightfully been overturned, how many Unis are going to reverse the transphobia they added to their equality documents? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I've been unwinding after work by playing some of the Original Baldur's Gate. If you've played this game before (or are familiar with its lore), you'll appreciate how funny this statistic is on Jaheira in my current save...

Transphobia is the neo-Nazi and far-right gateway drug. Transphobia teaches you to ignore science, ignore empathy, have your brain rot with hatred, and accept genocidal intent against a marginalised group. Facsism couldn't ask for a better teaching tool than transphobia.

I feel this to my core. The fact the University of York have been responsible for making me feel all these things and more very almost made me walk away from my PhD. I contemplated it and even resolved to do it. I decided at the last minute to continue, now driven to spite them more than anything.

They may not be using physical violence, but make no mistake this government is killing us.

Writing part of my thesis today, which can be summarised as "here is all the ways the University of York and the Council of British Archaeology have facilitated transphobia in broad terms, and absconded/failed/targeted my research in specific so as to try appear neutral towards trans eradication"...

11 Months ago I lead on an Open Letter to various archaeological organisations demanding resolute support for trans people in the face of the Supreme Court ruling and EHRC guidance. Over 700 archaeologists signed it. I've now made it easier to cite in academic work 👇 zenodo.org/records/1962...

Ahead of the Senedd Elections in May 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, here is what each party hoping to form the next Welsh Government have to say in their manifestos about trans people 🏳️‍⚧️... A Thread 🧵👇

So there's a news story doing the rounds where a fully consenting adult, who openly lived as a trans man for 15 years and waited for around four years to get top-surgery, has announced that she was somehow made, and rushed into being, trans by the NHS. This couldn't be further from reality 👇

The far right doesn't care that the overwhelming majority of violence against women is perpetrated by white cisgender men for the simple fact that they don't actually care about women. They are simply using any instance of violence committed by minorities to fuel their racist propaganda.

He is insane. And this is an open declaration of intended genocide. If any other world leader said this, there would be sanctions and an arrest warrant, not just for him, but for his whole regime.

In some personal news, I'm pleased to say I'll once again be flying the Welsh flag on the international Carcassonne stage. I've been selected for Team UK in the upcoming 2026 World Team Online Championship for Carcassonne.
