A major international human rights organisation are effectively banned from reporting the activities of groups campaigning against trans people’s human rights in the UK. If this were happening to any other group @zeteo.com and @doubledown.news would be all over it. Time to break the silence.

Onwards! See you all at South London Comic and Zine Fair @stanleyarts.bsky.social from noon on Sunday. It's going to be good. Actually, it's going to be better than good. It's going to be comicsful and zine-tastic. 😊 #comicfair #zines #comics #smallpress (Poster by @momorrell.bsky.social)

Day two @arcfestivallondon.bsky.social - and the strain is starting to show… Sorry, I mean… And we can’t wait to see you all! Here until 5. Come on down!

say you support Palestine Action? 15 years in prison tell people to assault trans people? get £25k makes sense to me

In the UK, you can be arrested, charged, prosecuted and convicted if you do not disclose that you are trans before sex but a cis man doesn't have to declare if he has an STI.

Eight protests from the BAD Coalition (Bodily Autonomy and Dignity Coalition) have cropped up for Thursday 9th July at 18:00. Do try to attend if you can, although many of these protests are in London. There are a few scattered across England though. Details here: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

This is a really good article by @nancymk.bsky.social A lot of trans people know how bad it is for trans kids. A lot of cis people do not know. Please share this widely with the cis people in your life. The UK is making life impossible for trans children.

Can anyone smarter than me basically answer my theory that this will just make the arts even more exclusively attainable and dominated by posh c**ts???

Bumping this again. Support for two trans women who were victims of transmisogynistic police violence. Please do chip in if you can or give it a share.

“Farage is tired of the constant attacks from the media.” Why’s that? Is he fucking trans or something?

Vanessa just described Farage’s diatribe as a bravura performance. British media.

Farage listing his grievances and biting the hand that feeds him. The media made you. You’d be nothing without their support.

Manneken Pis (the famous "pissing boy" statue) in Brussels has been given a makeover #belgium #worldcup

You jest, yet Stella actually seemed to think that physiological differences meant boys would beat girls (It's a great example of how the tervedom tried to rile people up here, and it just fell flat on its face, story was from two years ago and it created absolutely no ripples, world did not end)

This petition to Andy Burnham just appeared in my inbox and since it's very related I thought I'd add it to the thread:

And on it goes. South West Water dumps sewage in the little River Dart. Children cooling off in the heat suffer accordingly. But far more important, for year ending 31st March, SWW recorded a pre tax profit of £114m. So that's alright then... 🤮 #RenationaliseWaterNow share.google/8nJPdKUZIp4h...

Are you #LGBTQIA in the UK, sources say the Royal Family held this meeting with Voldemort purposely to send a message to all of us 🚨 If you want to hit back, join @republiccampaign.bsky.social and donate 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 The establishment is coming for us all, maybe we should hit back 🧐 Do it NOW 🙏 & #Share 🙏

MC Hammersmith spitting bars.

This is such an important point.

Trans people can only dream about getting an independent enquiry into our healthcare and the systemic discrimination we face. 'We can't continue like this': Inquiry demands NHS maternity overhaul www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You make accusations of mental illness against any of us who are loud, outspoken, or opinionated. You constantly insinuate that we're too emotional, while descending into fits of rage when we question you. You'll jerk to porn of two of us going at it while calling us sinful for loving each other.

Of course trans women are women. You relentlessly sexualize us but act outraged if we dare to find ourselves sexy. You make choices about our healthcare without letting us speak. You constantly use the threat of rape and physical violence against us.

Yanks are devolving this AC discourse into “it’s just their backwards culture actually, they’re just choosing to hurt themselves” at the kind of speed they usually reserve for countries they’re about to invade for economic reasons.

You don't say - i wonder what's been going on to make them want to not release information about assaults on trans women in prison? Absolute intellectually dishonest bastards.

Hilary Cass climbed out from under the bridge she calls home to tell the BBC there's no evidence of any harms to trans young people from puberty blockers. Infuriating! Evan Urquhart has more here: assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

"This Code of Practice is emblematic of the increasingly hostile environment in the UK for the trans and intersex communities. In its attempt to erase trans and intersex people from public life, this document is genocidal in nature." www.lemkininstitute.com/lemkin-insti...

💀

“A trans or intersex person would not be able to use any toilet in a UK establishment is not impossible – and is in fact likely. This is abhorrent and a complete failure on the part of the EHRC to consider the most basic needs of the trans & intersex communities, who are just as human as cis people”

It’s Solstice Sunday.

As a matter of URGENCY, PLEASE could 100,000 of you sign this petition in the next week: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

The UK community, via @essehouse.bsky.social, have a passport grant fund for trans people in low incomes seeking to relocate overseas. For those trapped here a while yet, we have community-owned and operated social housing opening in September.

☀️ Suns out ☀️ Organic cotton t-shirts, bold illustrated prints, designed by me in Manchester. Have a look www.gailmyerscough.co.uk/t-shirts

Like many creatives here I'm in danger of becoming extinct as increasing numbers of clients feed from the trough of AI slop. So I'll be promoting my posters etc a bit more. If you could support me by buying something or spreading the love that would be fab. Have a Great Tit to start the weekend. xx

I think the problem is that cis people don't get how deranged transphobes are because all of their actual positions get spoken about entirely in euphemism by a political and journalistic class who share their goals but launder it through vaguespeak like "concerns" that never repeat the actual bile

I love this. Unmute.

Stonking article by @iandunt.bsky.social. Nailed, just as he and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social do in their JK Rowling podcast. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/o... Thank you, thank you, thank you from this cisgender woman. iandunt.substack.com/p/the-ehrc-t...

The Chair of Sex Matters is currently crowdfunding for a quick SRY swab, to potentially use in schools. My Daughter is 20 now but if I’d heard they’d used something like this on her I’d have been down that school faster than shit off a shovel. It’s possibly one of the most evil things they’ve done.

The UK's youth social media ban will require *all adults* to submit their biometric and personal data to a host of third-party ID verification providers. Some have questionable privacy records – and ties to the Israeli Govt and Peter Thiel. 🧵 bylinetimes.com/2025/07/31/t...

I will be leaving social media next spring (not Bluesky where ban doesn’t apply) because I don’t want to submit sensitive ID information which may be vulnerable to hacks & misuse. I sense lots of people older than 16 will do similar. I actually feel quite positive about it. Might stop OUR addiction.

This government's reason for not getting off X is "it's where people get their information." A ban on children using social media is therefore, by the government's own argument, a requirement that 16yo school-leavers enter the world knowing, in the government's own estimation, nothing about it.

I really am afraid that the entire political/media class can power-fist “Oh wow, it turns out Johnson and Gove were just a crooked imbecile and a vicious little far right dork” up to their gall bladders. They knew this then, in 2016, and behaved like that anyway.

I've been asked to publish this statement from some of the families affected by NHS England's decision in Brighton.

4 years ago a UVF commander was caught transporting a long-barrelled rifle, 2 machine pistols, several magazines of ammo and a large no. of loose bullets in his car. None of this attracted a terror charge. The evidence wasn't strong enough www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther... #PalestineAction

Hi friends, my carer has been sick as a parrot all week and it’s made fending for myself very expensive, can anyone please help me refill the fridge? 🏳️‍⚧️ ♿️ paypal.me/StuffOfMemes

Racist pogroms in the UK, but never mind that, let's arrest pensioners holding signs protesting genocide. Clown country.

The position the UK now is in is driven by two big basic lies, says Helen Belcher. bylinetimes.com/2026/06/11/t...
