Way to kick off #pride month 🥳 Very excited & honoured to have a chapter in this wonderful book on #intersex, ageing & sexuality alongside a bunch of amazing academics 💕 Thank you @anacristinasantos.bsky.social for including me 🙏🏻💖✨ #ageing #queer #sexuality www.e-elgar.com/shop/usd/a-r...

Happy Pride to my fellow queers! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Here's your reminder that Pride is about liberatory organizing, not parades! Queer folks, please reply to this with your need posts. Allies, you know what to do. This is reparative work. Uplift trans people of the global majority in particular!

Let's hope - for I would wish this on no-one - Seema Malhotra does not become one of the women, like my wife featured in this piece, who are confronted by vigilantes in her changing room for the crime of having suffered breast cancer.

The Gender Recognition map of Europe. This is how bad the UK is now. 43rd out of 49. Down with Russia, Hungary, Albania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Worse than Turkey, Serbia and Belarus. A lot worse than Ukraine, and Ukraine has been at war for four years.

Simon gets it.

PLEASE stop posting computer slop. I don't care if it allows you, a person with no ability to draw, to post political cartoons you dream up; use stick figures if you need to. There are people out there who have very little skill at drawing, yet regularly publish cartoons which teach & move people.

“Experimenting with unproven technology to determine whether or not a child should be granted protections they desperately need and are legally entitled to is cruel and unconscionable.” The rise of “artificial intelligence” tools in border policing is just so disturbing. We should reject such uses.

Thank you @profmitchtravis.bsky.social ! I had no idea! So excited! Closer to holding it in my hands 💕 #books #intersex #ageing #aging #intersectionality #routledge www.routledge.com/Intersex-Age...

One of the best articles I’ve come across on what’s going on. More than a decade of “they’re not Nazis/you’re being dramatic/stop doomscrolling?” etc. Trans people have been amongst the loudest canaries in y’all’s coal mines & nobody has been listening. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

#FolkloreSunday On May 26 #WorldDraculaDay will be celebrated. The holiday commemorates the publication date of Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula,” published in 1897. The holiday was created in 2012 by the Whitby Dracula Society 1897. nationaltoday.com/world-dracul... Cover Art- Andrew Holmes

#WorldDraculaDay Bram Stoker's "Dracula" was published #OTD in 1897. Its original ending might have been modified because it held too close a parallel to the finale of Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher", since the castle sank into the void. hauntedhillinc.blogspot.com/2016/07/drac...

GOTHIC MARIONETTE Glorious Dracula Puppet from Prague's Marionette Theatre for #WorldDraculaDay. Excellent uncanny storytelling in these productions!! #FairyTaleTuesday

This is the first edition of Dracula by Bram Stoker, published today in 1897. 🦇🌙 #WorldDraculaDay #DraculaDay

We had the same dentist #truestory

A deeply morally bankrupt party that deserves to implode under the weight of its own malice and corruption.

Labour: “the programme aims to establish human-rights-compliant legal frameworks and resilient local movements globally to ensure that LGBT+ people everywhere can live lives that are equal, safe, and free”. Also Labour: “trans women just need to hold their pee until they get home”.

Not only is the piss on your leg rain, you actually love rain, and piss, also youre not even wet

I know what this is. I have experienced so much of it in the years I have spent back in the UK. “how can we possibly be anti-LGBT+ if we’re hosting IDAHOBIT+ 2027?”. It will be used to deflect from planned horrors to come.

It's not that difficult to offer something more appealing than fascism if you actually want to.

The basic offer of liberal democracy is that politicians are supposed to appeal to the electorate enough to win elections. If party politicians can't do that without collusion from the left what's the point?

Fuck Burnham in Makerfield, people insisting that propping up his bid for labour leadership is important for anyone don't understand how toxic labour are to humanity in Britain.

Jesus Christ, WHICH politicians? Can we get a list? Cause most seem to be in on it. Which bigger challenges? Lemme guess, is it trans and people who aren’t white and Christian? Women not having babies? What’s the bigger challenge than you, Jeff?

F*cking LOL!!! Is this April Fools Day!?! I mean, WT actual F?!? Yeah, they’re talking about LGBTQ+ people internationally… What about the sh*tty way this government is treating trans+ people at home!!! 😣😖 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Thread: The BBC is an international laughing-stock. Northern Ireland had a slow motion civil war. The Good Friday Agreement made peace possible & is guaranteed by the EU & ECHR. BBC reports on this peace treaty from its obsession with trans ppl! BONKERS! [1].

[2] The BBC News management is bizarrely obsessed with trans ppl & hating them. So much so they print & platform false conspiracies, lies & incitement. You may not notice because it’s not relevant to you. Surely an agreement that guarantees a peace, being discussed in terms of their obsession, …

The Onion should do a satire with a good outcome just to see if they can manifest it.

I realize this is frustrating for those who would feel and be safer and healthier outside the US, but for those lucky enough to qualify for a #descendant #passport or #citizenship, congrats, and latest news re. #canada #transgender #trans #lgbtq #refugee #relocation www.cicnews.com/2026/05/cana...

I do enjoy how many things this could be about

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

Who wore it best? Baby’s first CPAP machine. As the meme says, as soon as I’ve had a good night’s sleep it’s all over for you bitches 🥳 #sleepapnea #CPAP #sleepstagram #snorenomore

Found out he died shortly after i posted this. May he rest in peace 💔

Not sure the takeaway from COVID was infected folk will just behave and stay home for the good of wider society … also, incubation period until symptomatic can be 7-39 days?

Just finding out Sadaka in Koji Suzuki’s Ring novels was intersex. Maybe novels & movies about haunting & seeking vengeance on surgeons who butcher us as kids could deter some med students from pursuing careers in IGM? #futurewritingprojects #intersexrage #intersexrevenge #intersex #thering

Really looking forward to reading the rest of the chapters in this. Congratulations @anacristinasantos.bsky.social! So sorry I can't be at the ESA in Warsaw to help launch it.

So excited, thank you @anacristinasantos.bsky.social for including my chapter on ageing, sexuality, and intersex 🙏🏻💖✨ #intersex #ageing #sexuality

#octaviabutler goddamn. Amazing books, amazing writer. She predicted so much of today back in the 80s including MAGA. Still seeing folk act like this all came from nowhere, it didn’t. Octavia saw it. Black women saw it, lots of folk saw it. Two of the best books I’ve ever read. #books #scifi

“I dont think my art is good enough to make this comic/webtoon/visual novel/game” You should make it, because even if your art isnt where you want it to be, the constant practice you gain while working on a project will rapidly improve your skills as oppose to just waiting

The assisted dying bill falling is a travesty. We must fight for bodily autonomy across the board: from reproductive rights and the right to die, to sex work, sexuality, trans healthcare, and an end to non-consensual surgeries on intersex children.

Very excited to attend Iain Morland ‘s book signing in Manchester at @blackwelloxford.bsky.social 🥳 #book #intersex #booksigning

Read an interview with Iain Morland, author of INTERSEX, on the Everything is Horrible substack. buff.ly/BSfpM6o @nberlat.bsky.social

labour is implementing segregation laws that allow anybody, at any time, to 'accuse' a woman of being trans and demand to see their genitals male police officers have been told to strip search any woman they suspect of being transgender they have literally created new ways for women to be abused

I've been wary of Nick Cave for some time already, but writing an enthusiastic blurb for a book of a massive terf is a definite "thank you, next" moment for me.

The beeb taking a break from stoking hate against trans folk and laundering genocide to ask the hard hitting questions: “how gay are gay asylum seekers?” Excellent use of govt funding and tv license fees.

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

I wrote something quite personal about what use trans history In These Times:
