Trying very hard to link transness with dangerous criminality is disgusting, but so is the following implication that only sane, well-behaved people should be allowed to transition, if any.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

When Rosie Duffield is in on it I think we can safely say the anti-phone campaign in Brianna's name is actively at odds with tackling transphobia

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

I usually try to butch it up with uber drivers but when the guy who just picked me up was complaining about all the crumbs students had just left in his car all I could think to say was “what a bunch of mucky pups” which he vehemently agreed with tbf

I hate this. Brianna Ghey was murdered by two people she knew in real life. She didn’t meet them online. Conflating her murder with her use of social media is awful.

The way people talk about neurodivergent folk and trans folk is getting more alike by the day. No wonder we tend to stand up for each other. It's the same fatuous arguments made without input from those affected. This is just the social contagion lie. It's interchangeable.

The term “vegan tampons” raises the horrifying spectre of the existence of non-vegan tampons

Found the one guy who got raptured, right out of their sliders too, rip

This whole ICE nonsense quota based racist policing is so useful for illustrating so many Black civil rights concepts that people have been confused about for decades. People used to ask me, "Why do Black folk cheer when they see a man successfully run from the cops? He's a criminal!"🤡 No.

Hillsborough B&M is like the backrooms, after minutes of wandering I just had to submit myself to the humiliation of asking how to get out. I just want a birthday card for my nephew, I don’t want to die here.

I’m still not over a guy telling me that knitting can’t be art a decade ago. Not that not ALL knitting is art, I’d agree with that, but that knitting CAN’T be art. The same man used his knowledge of Simone de Beauvoir to convince women he fancied that he was a feminist 🙄

Sigh, greens it is then. What a waste of good will and potential.

Trash Future had their hands to close to the lathe again the other week when they said Led by Donkeys were going to be the next proscribed organisation 🫠

It's worth asking why every elite institution is issuing statements like this rather than pointing out the obvious fact that the institutional right commits and glorifies violence far more than the left. Is there a reason you feel you can't say that out loud? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

I guess MSNBC, Chris Jansing and GWB are memory holing the fact that Charlie Kirk established a professor watchlist, a compilation of faculty who didn’t align with Kirk’s value or ideas. People on the list received death and rape threats, btw.

What a beautiful morning to listen to Chumbawamba

AI hallucinations now driving Britain’s gender “discourse”

Rember it's all about protecting women and girls they say. It can't possibly be about the persecution of a minority. Dignity and Respect for trans people is going well and according to plan. www.bbc.com/news/article...

About Trans Safety Net Sheffield

This was eight hours after the protest started. Today the Metropolitan Police say they are the victims, complaining about the "intolerable" abuse officers faced as they dragged pensioners off to police vans. What on earth did they expect, congratulations?

Not sleeping tonight.

Understanding this is so incredibly important The Labour government is targeting Trans+ people, AND migrants and those seeking asylum

Denying young people privacy and autonomy isn’t about safety, it’s about control. Case in point:

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

I know some of you white centrists have a hard time believing middle class professionals like Keir Starmer can be racist but if you actually talked to people of colour you might understand that it’s more common than you’d think

‘I’m a lesbian and feminist. I’ve been harmed by men. So I wouldn’t fight for trans people if it hurt women’s rights. Yet I’m called a groomer and a misogynist’ Rebecca Don Kennedy, head of the Equality Network, on how dark it’s got for trans people in Britain www.heraldscotland.com/news/2541309...

Be aware. Be prepared.

I remember one participant who summarised the distance between cis leadership in the sector, trans women workers and the lack of prioritisation for services for trans women (or even just hiring more of us) as being an 'empathy gap.' I think that sums it up pretty well.

Even during my data collection in mid-late 2023, trans women in the sector were aware of these shifts in priorities and that they wouldn't get better under Labour. Of course nobody expected it to get THIS bad (including the 'leaders' who met up with Streeting last year for a 'positive reset')

Oh, so these were the 'leaders' in the LGBT+ charity sector that the trans women I interviewed were talking about. 👀

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: liberals and liberalism have turned transphobia into a mainstream, everyday, top tier, omnipresent social crisis. It was a niche problem driven by conservatives. Liberals blew it into the screaming global moral panic it now is.

Remember when this sort of thing would be headline news, when it was happening in Moscow? It's the so-called democracies of the West, which are becoming increasingly authoritarian. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Country's most pointless representative group committee turns outright autocratic and votes to free themselves of the need to be re-elected to avoid the potential of their group actually having to do its job

This season of The Bear is taking bisexual lighting to another level

Just concluded my keynote at Pride In London's Human Rights Forum. I have announced today publicly that I now see it as my sad duty to make an evidence based report to Genocide Watch and The Lemkin Institute requesting investigation into the systematic oppression of the trans community of the UK.

A point here is how abusive the British state, broadcasters & billionaire news are in their treatment of trans people. Media focussing on the US while ignoring good practice on UK's doorstep - normalises and legitimises state abuse. Britain is an anomalous a rogue state on LGBTQ+ rights .. [1/2]

Hey @drews.bsky.social, have you seen this in Sheffield College Hillsborough Campus? I assume it is a new addition. I can’t find them on BlueSky but will ask them about it on Facebook. Disappointing as their FB page is currently rainbow themed.

Were you at the Palestine Action solidarity protest in Trafalgar Square yesterday? Did you witness the police charge into the crowd? If you saw what happened clearly, we'd like to hear your testimony. Email us at [email protected]

I get very tired of the “But people are mean to her” argument. People who defend trans rights get just as much vitriol. You should see some of the tweets I’ve had. Or ask any woman. Or Black person. Or *trans* person. And yet somehow *we’ve* all managed not to side with Putin, Musk and Trump.

Yeah, we did this in the US. Years of telling students that they need to be ready to listen to all sides and then a swift transition to locking them up for writing op-eds in the student newspaper.
