Esther Ghey's actions are the reason I just had a conversation with my siblings and fiancee, instructing them to ban my parents from any future funeral or memorial in my honour, along with anyone else using any kind of rationalisation to deadname me.

literally some of the first things my parents said to me before subjecting me to transphobic abuse was "if you lived in the village and had a Nokia with no internet, we wouldn't have this problem"

removing a trans person's connection to the internet is an act of deliberate social isolation with intent to 'convert' and everyone knows it

a lot of queer folk can't quite put their fingers on why they're so angry and upset about this shit and yeah no this is it. We all know and we even know that they know too. Eg the MP can't even give a single line explaining how this phone shit would have helped Brianna. They're just playing dumb.

Marilyn's writing is so good and It's A Living is so hot and adorable and you have to go read it right now and then give her your money on patreon. She deserves it, and *you* deserve to read this story, as a treat to yourself.

Getting made redundant twice in one year is so fun. I love when this happens.

You mean that time with the plague? The plague that causes long term illness and disability? You’re wondering why there was a massive bump in long term sickness during the plague?

This evening was my first irl experience of some 20-nothing enby I'd never met before telling me that I don't count as nonbinary because I use she/they and I'm not as nonconformist as they are. Torn between astonishment at tumblr being a real person, and the urge to commit great acts of violence.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Men are allowed to own both masculinity and freedom from gender in perpetuity, and I do not want to join them, I want to tear these from their hands.

This is the most complicated way to say "I can't forefront the fact I'm enby because people are constantly looking for excuses to misgender transfems", but hey.

To a lot of people, queer or not, Manhood is not seen as another facet of the gender-regime but represents the ultimate freedom from gender, and so anyone "queering gender" is seen as wanting to move closer to Manhood. This notion makes blood pour out of my mouth, ears, nostrils and eyes.

Enby transfem dyke is a fun identity because you'll have a militant commitment to the idea that gendered expectations are a stultifying shackle even in queer contexts and Womanhood is a cage we need to abolish, and this desire for gender-freedom instantly makes people see you as more of a Man.

It's like sealing the gateway is Anathema to her...

"The family courts will no longer work on the presumption that having contact with both parents is in the best interests of a child." A long overdue change that will save many lives.

2013: Evangelicals: "We're going to use feminist sounding language to separate the T from the LGB, to ultimately ban abortion." 2014: UK 'GC' groups spring up overnight, with anon donations. 10 years of anti-trans activism. 2025: The British Press: "OMG, evangelicals are trying to ban abortion!"

The Supreme Court decision is “clear”. A clear breach of trans people’s human rights:

If that's a concern then maybe don't vote for her at all?? Don't encourage her to delay it until after she's already got your vote!

A young girl died because of the British government’s assault on trans people. They murdered her. Streeting, Starmer, Cass and the rest, they murdered this girl. Her blood is on their hands.

sorry (again) but i am boosting this (again) because i am going to have a check in the box tomorrow (i cannot delay any longer than that) and it is probably gonna come out monday or tuesday and when it does it needs to clear. please please help if you can; i need to keep us housed until i'm working

This was the first test that had many trans people worried the Greens would fold. That they didn't is an excellent sign and a rare show of actual support for trans people from a political party that isn't just empty words. More of this @zackpolanski.bsky.social ❤️

YOU - I'm currently in-between names.

Starting to believe Labour are pining after an election so bad because being in power has been so disastrous professionally and interpersonal for them that a lot of them just want it *over*

Advice to anyone injecting weekly who also works from home: take your E mid-afternoon on a Friday. It's the perfect way to mentally check out of work and start your weekend early on a high note.

Theres a few tbinfs to note here from Falkners quotes. Tge EHRCs main job is to provide a workable environment in regards to equality and human rights by providing a statutory code thats workable and legally compliant for businesses to follow. 1/

undercover

What they want is for every trans person to have to identify themselves as trans in every interaction with anyone, continuously outing yourself,(maybe even wearing a little symbol) in the deluded hope that it will make being trans in public so difficult that we will eventually melt into the shadows

The thing about this nonsense of a story is that it really shows the ideology behind the anti-trans movement, the "dress how you like" was always a lie. At the core these anti-trans activists are complaining about trans people, existing in society. Is this a "reasonable concern" about safety?

To Be Hero X was fantastic in moments, but I feel like I just watched a full season of prologue and I'm concerned that's because the writers literally don't know how to conclude a storyline.

Sure you did. I'm sure the fact ppl weren't buying your grift and the GCs and TERFs were transphobic to you had nothing to do with it, and you meant to do all that in public, it was all 5D chess all along

lesbianism is beautiful, and that beauty must be shared. the girlies need more lesbian art, make it! find people who can help you make more of it! be gay, do art. (all art mediums welcome; writers, draftspeople, sculptors, voice actors, all of them.)

new language should have a purpose, should plug some kind of epistemic gap or otherwise convey some missing detail or nuance that is crucial to the conversation what does "trying to find the Most Polite Wording for the 1000th time" actually do

Important update: I have tried a pumpkin spiced latte for the first time; it was very good. I am now upset that misogyny has so thoroughly maligned this perfectly normal, tasty drink. Thank you for reading this very important update.

You know the logical conclusion to "only the majority deserves to have a voice" is that only cis people get to talk about gender care. You comprehend that, right? Blink twice if you comprehend that

Cowardly AND stupid--at the least pick one

Can pro-trans reporters FOR ONCE not agree with fucking Chloe Cole?? Do you think your argument of "ye she's right about ~her experience~, ye she's mutilated, but like, fuck those bitches amirite" is compelling?

Why do you say this as if you agree there actually exists a minority that is, as the QT'd article claims, 'disfigured' by transition. Do you realise how you sound? "Ya sure detransitioners are mutilated and disfigured--but look, they don't matter! Uno percent!!!"

And that's a key thing here. If a cis person gets misgendered, what's communicated afterwards is "you're wrong and this was awkward on your part" aimed at the misgenderer. If you cede ground and say "you're wrong but it's understandable, after all I am trans," it only enables more misgendering.

it's an interesting thread. it really highlights how these ppl seemingly don't understand that the labour party no longer exists. leave and go independent or join the greens. you cannot change the labour party from within. it's not possible.

Almost always, "hugboxing" just ends up meaning "I want to make people complicit in my emotional self-harm, but they won't let me". If you'd believe me when I insult you, you should believe me when I compliment you. Either you trust my opinion or you don't.

So I'm a fairly open-minded person. I've willingly spent time with ex-ultranationalists, ex-TERFs, former drug dealers convicted of manslaughter, all sorts. There's one group of ex's for whom I hold great contempt: ppl who leave the GC detrans grift when they realise they want to retransition.

I’m being kind of a crank but most AGP/HSTS joke questions are not funny because there’s a real answer to them and then it’s just depressing. Like. Yes, by this system, puppygirls and all such similar phenomena are AGP coded. Most of this stuff doesn’t do anything to “break” the typology.

Just finished the episode, and it turns out the homework this week is "go away and do some Thinking about the discussion of earning the right to live through suffering". Harder, but definitely more beneficial than reading another shit article.

Well okay, but I'm still not going to do more homework for this one. Unless there's something that seems reeeeeally interesting or stupid or both. Then maybe.

[taking notes] so my male socialization makes it so that I am overconfident in my understanding of issues that other people know better than me, is that correct? Interesting assessment, person who knows all the inner workings of my mind from a brief online conversation.

Look at this lil cute one

you are allowed to have insecurities, triggers, dysphoria - but you’re not allowed to weaponise them against others and make them feel bad about their happiness and bodies

Why do authors do the thing where they write a cliffhanger and then instead of following up on it, cut away to some random other thing? It's so frustrating, but also really common even in some otherwise really well-written media, so there must be a reason, right?
