Canada has been named the second safest country in the world for LGBTQ+ travellers: 1. Netherlands 🇳🇱 2. Canada 🇨🇦 3. France 🇫🇷 4. Australia 🇦🇺 5. Austria 🇦🇹

The bill wouldn't have passed without 8 Democrats voting for it.

“99.2% of GPS patients who received gender-affirming medical care continue to identify as transgender into adulthood. Of the remaining 0.8%, most did not regret the medical treatment they received.” This is why transphobes are terrified of youth care, and why youth care should be legal everywhere.

Despite warning signs that trans people are dying of suicide more than the general UK population, official data remains inadequate – while rights and healthcare rollbacks continue www.wearequeeraf.com/trans-people...

People ask what it is like getting gender confirmation surgery, and in the age of social media it is a big deal. rejserin.medium.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

MAGA hates us. They kiss Putin's ring but hate their neighbour. They hate Canada because we are democratic. Because we refuse to bend the knee. Because our economy is strongest in the G7. There can be no peace between our nations until MAGA is defeated. nationalnewswatch.com/2026/04/17/t...

Worth re-posting the below thread 'cos I've seen a few folk wonder recently if it's even worth starting to transition if you end up a woman with size 11 feet, or a guy with size 6. or might end up not all that curvy 30-28-30. Or you might be a six ft plus woman or five-two guy...

100%. Judith Butler’s “Who’s afraid of Gender?” is really clear on the links from terfs to fascism

This is tragically beautiful.

Say it again and louder: Everyone needs to be pushing back against the transphobia fueling modern fascism.

"why your protest aesthetics should utilize the most median established sentiment and visual language"

He just wanted to wash his hands and turn off the faucet, but things went out of control.

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

One of the issues of the trans sports debate was the insanely disproportionate coverage by the right. Fox News would stake out middle school volleyball games and make it national news. It didn't matter if trans athletes were rare and never competed professionally, it just needed to feel like it.

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

The more you know Iran is Home to one of the world's oldest continuous major civilizations, the territory of present-day Iran was first unified under the Medes, led by Cyaxares, in the 7th century BC

From Instagram - today the Dyke Project shut down NHS England HQ to protest the politically motivated ban on trans youth healthcare.

The numbers are growing. 42 organisations have signed our open letter against the transphobic 'biological sex' framing of trans people. Be part of the movement. Sign the letter, and have your voices heard, in a world that tries to silence us all. tacc.org.uk/biological-s...

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

since everyone's sharing/dunking on the latest Helen Lewis Atlantic piece, I am contractually obligated to re-up the time Helen Lewis debated AI hallucinations of my work (I contacted @theatlantic.com about it but they never provided a correction): juliaserano.medium.com/why-do-helen...

🙂 'committee member Councillor Lee-Anne Menzies (SNP) said: “Some of the new terminology I struggle to understand, but have come to the realisation I don’t need to understand everything, I just need to know that everybody is being accepted and we are making sure there are places for everyone.'

imo it's totally fine to use they/them pronouns for people you don't know; it becomes a problem when someone gives you their specific pronouns and you don't use them

A real life hero.

Anyway, I am going to die suffering, poor, and alone in penance for how much of a judgment cunt I am in DMs. But until that day comes, my DMs are open for petty bitches everywhere.

Major thanks to @melodyschreiber.com for interviewing me about what biology actually says about sex & gender Unscientific attacks on trans rights are fueled by fascism, not science, and harm all of us - cis or trans Excellent reporting 🧬🏳️‍⚧️ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex". www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale...

I am sorry Marlene Dietrich In A Tuxedo. You've had a good run. For decades you were the ultimate hotness in genderfuck communities around the world, and you will always be loved. But the time has come for a new icon, and Growling Lavender-Grey Hair With Pride Face has claimed my heart.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

since it's behind a paywall now, I wanted to share this graph from "How Trump 2.0 is slashing NIH-backed research — in charts" (Nature, April 2025). Say it with me: the anti-trans/LGBTQ+ movement is an anti-science movement: [article sans figs can be read here: web.archive.org/web/20250501... ]

Scientists reject a binary view of human sex at NIH symposium They say complexities of human sex require more inclusive definitions, and research data need to reflect biological complexity

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including “biological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

Makes me feel insane to live in a world that's persecuting trans folk while simultaneously doing big billboards advertising gender affirming care to cis people???

Thanks so much to @melodyschreiber.com for not only writing about this issue, but quoting trans scientists as experts!

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten
