@neunion.bsky.social what are you doing about this? In Sept your members will be *forced* to harm trans children. In many cases that harm is going to be very significant & very stressful, & many teachers could be forced to carry high levels of guilt & stress. Especially when (& I mean “when”)… 1/3

I am worried for the kids who haven't yet transitioned. Especially for the kids who haven't yet told a single person how they feel. These cruel school policies, like our wider UK segregation, is robbing them of any HOPE for the future. Without hope we will all struggle.

This morning, Reform spokesperson Zia Yusuf made false and misleading accusations about BASH BACK. Read our statement setting the record straight. xoxo BASH BACK

It is far too hot in my home to close windows at night without being seriously ill in the short term. But the smoke from the fires seems to be leaving me with bloody nostrils so probably bad long term. Economically comfortable people don't need to choose between short or long term harm .

The world is literally on fire and disabled people are still being excluded from queer events. Unfortunately the fires are wrecking the environment and not disablist infrastructure .

What does the EHRC code do, and not do? www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/ehrc-co...

Think a whole years worth of tears have just found their way out , sorry for the flood!

And when (either able bodied or certain disabled) people tell you that we must not criticize AI because it might have access use-cases, its really important to push back with examples like this, but also how gAI will cut the kinds of freelance work many disabled people rely on, and cutting services.

The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife; they are, in effect, a privileged, protected class that can do things pretty much no other interest or pressure group could get away with, like intimidate major NGOs who aren't scared of North Korea or Russia into folding with a legal threat.

Sex Matters says gender-critical voices are being silenced. Yet when Amnesty International UK published research critical of them, they didn't publish a rebuttal; they threatened legal action. Freedom of expression isn't a one-way street. We have responded to Sex Matters' email:

A lawsuit alleges that ICE beat a man, causing his existing disabilities to worsen and get new ones. Once he was in ICE detention, the lawsuit says, he was mocked by detention staff and didn't regularly get his medication. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Like even between the not rich who can afford to stay cool and school their house varies wildly. A lot of us will die before the comfy people notice.

hard to overstate btw how much capitalism matters to this issue. not just in the sense of "ruining the environment for profit", but because the rich don't need to worry about climate change. it's not going to have any impact on *them.*

Everything for the bin

My shoulders need to be cancelled immediately

Yeah basically this. And the whole announcement was a party political broadcast aired on the BBC. Also makes the subsequent suspension if there is one seem undemocratic. Can level of a lot of criticisms at Farage, being bad at politics isn't one of them.

Massive insincerity wave amongst people and I'm absolutely sick of it.

Maybe next he can realise that HE is unhelpful

youtu.be/K35FtbuyTh4 I just realised I haven't pinned our newest video! Did I mention we made a new video? I'm sure someone must have mentioned our new video. We made a new video. Meat. Masculinity. Mencetera.

Is anyone who knows Ahana able to check in with her please. I had a worrying message and am pretty concerned.

I hope everyone at my local bus company steps on plugs everyday for the rest of their lives .

Ahana is safe, but she’d appreciate messages of love if yall wanna send some here.

Announcing 'Attack Dogs', the new serialized sci-fi epic from @mzakharuk.bsky.social and me! Inspired by works such as 'Gundam: The Witch From Mercury' and 'Ghost in the Shell', our new project is sure to be of interest to fans of 'Gunmetal Olympus' and the mechsploitation genre.

Who do I have to rob and how much do I need to rob to have run run AC?

Could I borrow a functional nervous system and memory for a spell?

As expected the conversion therapy ban is doing its damnedest to ensure that the existing conversion practices carried out by the NHS and religious groups on trans people remain legal and incur no consequences for the perpetrators.

I am not sure what these people think the political utility of trans people dying in queue outside of Parliament to see MPs who weren't even there would have been, with low attendance numbers that would rhetorically undermine us. But clearly their strategic political genius is beyond mine.

People need to stop taking their frustrations out on others who are trying their best to both have a successful lobby and keep people safe. Nothing hurts causes faster than being super willing to leave others behind.

With policing more violent and repressive and rights to protest under the worst attack in a generation, let's just say we have low expectations of an 8th prime minister since Netpol was set up in 2009. Our report on April's brutal policing of an anti-fascist protest in Manchester is out very soon

“Oxevision is described by patients as “creepy” and a form of “spying”, and has been blamed by a bereaved mother for contributing to her daughter’s sense of paranoia before she took her own life” www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Im epileptic. I live with brain fog, and cognitive issues. Reading, thinking and writing are things I value/consciously develop as a disabled teacher and writer, and I will never agree that we should be chunking down books even further. Disabled readers don't need to be pandered to like this.

I hate universities as much as they hate their students.

this is so wrong. young shouldn't be passing time by staring at the wall until they're in their early 20s and skint.

Absolutely howling that people are outraged at a tigers top surgery scars. I'm just glad the tiger waitlist is better than the humans.

When Wes Streeting placed a ban on puberty blockers he said that those adolescents already receiving NHS care would not be impacted. He lied. Those young people are now facing forced destransition & forced enrollment in the new youth Gender Service which can only offer (conversion) therapy.

This is absolutely devastating. This country is a cruel and transphobic hell island that especially harms children and young people.

I wrote a short post about my new article co-authored with @fiercemum.bsky.social and others. It's all about the questionnaires which are in common use internationally in trans youth healthcare, what's often wrong with these, and how we can do better.

I've been in touch with Jess. For anyone wondering about them, they're safe but they're not doing well and they don't expect to return to Bsky anytime soon.

fwiw, the talking point of "I don't like this woman's politics so she's definitely lying about being assaulted by her husband is not being opposed to misogyny, it's the justification of misogyny.

Nope we are not doing insomnia spells. Nope

people love to do this thing where they act like it’s novel to be dismissive of a woman’s claims and to find the secret, real reason, why she is making such claims. except that isn’t novel and is, in fact, how people normally respond

Minister is asked why he expects disabled people to fund their own PIP review engagement events #PIP #TimmsReview www.disabilitynewsservice.com/minister-is-...

The DWP is secretly testing sweeping new rules – described as a “recipe for disaster” – on disability benefit assessments, which will reduce the influence of healthcare professionals and hand greater responsibility to civil servants. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-secretly...

For people outside academic research, this is quite a good intro to why shit’s fucked and how AI fits in tenthousandposts.podbean.com/e/chicago-st...

The way people are turning on each other rn is devastating I am incredibly proud to know Jess O Thompson and their work is so important. If you have nothing better to do than tear down someone who gives so much to the community maybe you should stfu

I'm privileged to be Jess's friend and colleague when they were at @transsafety.network and they deserve so much respect. The article on trans death certificates in the UK was really emotional for all of us and is so important. transsafety.network/posts/corone... To paraphrase Leave Jess Alone
