To our mind... There is a song that feels like it is sourced from deep psychosis. The singer isn't singing about losing their sanity. In Jugband Blues, they are already no longer there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMOy...

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

The guidance for Trans school kids in UK schools isn't like Section 28. It's worse. www.scenemag.co.uk/dr-natacha-k... Labour need to be held to account for what they have done. Along with a billionaire author who enabled it.

Amnesty International flagged JK Rowlings efforts anti-rights, she then demonstrates the truth of the assessment by threatening to sue Amnesty International, who have defended the Human Rights of Women and girls for decades. JK... Your actions, are proving their assessment to be correct.

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.

I do absolutely love Nine Inch Nails, but "This is a Trent Reznor Song" is just great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xg-...

"It's like wiping your arse with silk." Not a great movie exactly, but a great scene. youtu.be/WwO0CDYxyxc?...

Slán abhaile, Sam.

Congrats to the Scottish Parliament, who by instantly caving to transphobic demands managed to trash their own data. Congrats to transphobes who, yet again, wrecked feminist policy in order to try and give trans people a kicking. www.thenational.scot/news/2627138...

There is an ongoing wave of policy attacks taking place against Trans+ children. @nancymk.bsky.social explores what we can do to support them.

@giresuk.bsky.social has just published its guide to the transphobic EHRC “guidance”. www.gires.org.uk/ehrc-code-of-practice-resources-and-guidance

Going to ER

Apparently, Amnesty International pulled their list of anti-trans hate groups, so I should probably re-post this. ashley-nein.notion.site/19101d3e04aa...

1/🧵 Hilary Cass wrote to MPs and Lords last week to defend her conversion therapy and fishing expedition to falsify evidence against puberty pausing treatment. She frames hate groups’ obstruction as merely a difference of opinion, whilst presenting gender-affirming care as harm.

We had attended a community event with a couple of friends at The Rechabite Hall in Perth last night. :) It was a blast. The event NGALAK NIDJA BILYA (We are the river) was held by Rainbow Futures in support of indigenous and queer communities in WA. 🩷

Good evening all! It's Sam! I'm just taking a moment to say "Hi!" as Saoirse is resting from a complex weekend, and start to the week too. Urgent peer support, a minor implant related procedure, along with prep. and a complex policy advisory meeting have left her needing space from fronting. 1/3

EHRC says 'sex questioning' will be "rare and exceptional" – but evidence suggests it's increasing already www.wearequeeraf.com... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

“Government has introduced so many loopholes that it's practically written an instruction manual on how to get away with conversion abuse,” says @transactualuk.bsky.social 

lmao absolutely banger complaint. "i would be more popular if I weren't a twat". an all timer. get this woman a special hat or something

"Put another way, the court ruled that transgender women and girls have no constitutional right to equality. It is a disgusting ruling." "Transgender people deserve the same legal, constitutional, and human rights as anybody else. Any position contrary to that is unacceptable."

Ever since CERN was turned off I was able to shave an hour of my best time, even if it was 50 minutes. I then won the Tour De France twice. My breasts were juicier and more women dated me, then more men too. Then they got into eachother, and our orgasms lifted the roof off. Oh yeah, birds sang too.

This is such an important point.

This entire thread really is an object lesson on correct etiquette when dealing with cops.

Fox News: "There are thousands of visitors."

It looks like "The Government" have another advertisement, and it is.... refreshingly honest. 🩷 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBW9...

Millionaires, private businesses and GC haters must be breathing a huge sigh of relief after the Burnham speech. It beats the status quo, he’s going to be much, much better than that. For them.

"Trans people always knew they were trans" Our childhood was so dominated by discrimination, violence, and abuse that we couldn't be safe owning our identity. It with others, was held in a dissociated form for decades as we broke. We stopped thinking about what could be and only what was permitted.

What's it like in your head?

Stonewall failed trans from the start. They never got marketing or project management. The slogan tee-shirts were a complete misstep and they followed up with footdragging. When the heat was turned up their highly paid marketing director took a sabbatical. In all the years they delivered *nothing*

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

The suffering she, along with this Labour government, has done to trans kids is what ‘groupthink’ has enabled. And, of course, her speech is at a conference of the extreme right, where other speakers have called for the eradication of the trans community. She must never find peace ever again.

Its not just Labour in the UK achieving nothing legislatively for LGBTQIA+ people. The federal Labor party in Australia have scored a resounding Zero as well. www.starobserver.com.au/news/human-r... It's ok though. The Oz PM will walk with us at Mardi Gras, that counts as doing something isn't it?

Left: Who I wasn't Right: Who I always was You can too. (Pass it on)

Long post about conversion therapy. We need to understand; 1. There is nothing to celebrate about the Non-Ban 2. The REAL purpose of the Non-Ban 3. No-one will persuade Labour to close its loopholes, like cruelty, they are the point. Instead we should get on with opposing CT's use in the NHS.

Explain your @ In pre-history... we were named after two saints of a religion we had no connection to, in a country divided along a religious/political axis. I figured instead that rather than saintly, every woman is a goddess, including me. We adopted 🏹 Artemis instead. It is our middle name.

The UK Labour Party continue to shrink their electoral base.... Just in case there was any remaining doubt...

Citizen Kane.. It truly is as poignant as ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXf2...

We all deserve the right to live our lives without politicians getting in the way. We're fighting for that this Pride Month and every other month of the year. 📸 Jordana Bermúdez

Large crowds gather for anti-racism rallies in Belfast and Derry: ‘We are the majority’ A Guyanese woman said that the anti-racism rallies “let people know that there is hope” and it's great to see that most people are repulsed by recent events. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

I saw this earlier on Extinction Rebellions Facebook page, but figured, That it really needed to be said here too..
