@spacecoyote.com I was just flicking through these this morning and I absolutely love them.

attention new bluesky users: pick up that can

How I'm turning up to the bluesky Christmas party

You don't need to think about what is "normal." You are you. One day, the world will come where there is no need to categorize people as LGBT🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Until that day arrives, I will continue to send out this message. Your soul is beautiful.

Either the delay on that screen is brutal or my Abe's Oddysee reflexes aren't what they were

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there. Puberty Blocker bans harm trans kids, no-one should pretend they don’t.

"The case, which Bell is putting together alongside abuse James Esses and the controversial Bayswater Support Group is backed by CitizenGO – a lobby group which campaigns against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights around the world, and is closely tied to the Kremlin and the Spanish far-right party Vox"

After missing two, I'm finally going to play in the 2026 EUIC! Hope I get at least one of my dream opponents before i'm 1/5/1 on the bottom tables! #pokemontcg #playpokemon #pokemon

Let's not even think about the kind of uses that a Faragist government could make of this kind of tech. Blocking, for example, anything connected with LGBTQ+ information would be trivial.

Then of course there's the civil liberties dimension. It moves beyond "adults must verify to access porn" to "adults must verified to look at nudity in art, medicine, study, etc". Just one more step in the government's drive to take us back to the 1950s, this time with a panopticon on its side.

Happy #HumanRightsDay! Starmer has chosen to mark it by... kicking off negotiations on how to water down our human rights 🤯 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The ECHR protects all of us, so we should all be worried about changes that amount to "human rights... except for those people"

Women, in particular, know how fragile rights can be - how hard-won progress can be rolled back if we do not defend it. That’s why this #HumanRightsDay we say clearly: Trans rights are human rights. Trans rights are women’s rights. Our struggles are connected. Protecting one protects us all.

"Sensible" Labour MP praising cutting off potentially vulnerable kids from what may be their only support networks.

[CN: child abuse] Considering the vast majority of child abuse is done by their family, if you want to cut off children's information and communication routes, I will assume it's purely so you can better abuse your child

To the surprise of literally no one

Worth pointing out that having ADHD alone does not qualify you for any benefits. Except maybe a lanyard that says "I have difficulty being in a long queue".

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

When Zack Polanski said the Greens were here to replace Labour, I was skeptical. I thought it wouldn’t happen. It’s happening. You can tell because the media and Labour are suddenly rattled.

Starmer says he’s "taking the gloves off" and that the Greens are "nuts" Big talk from the PM of vibes based cruelty and trickle down cowardice. Join.greenparty.org.uk

But in all seriousness, hilarious phrasing aside, what they're basically saying is, "trans rights aren't real, only cis rights are real, and we will not under any circumstances protect trans rights, because trans people don't have rights, only cis people have rights against trans people, now die."

"Hi, I'm Rory Stewart, the nice, sensible, centrist Tory." *A racist gets called out* "ERR WELL WE WERE ALL DUMB ONCE LET'S NOT GO IN TOO HARD"

My experience is that GPs are unsuited to have an option on if somebody should be referred to secondary care or not. They don't have the knowledge to make that call and will tell people they won't be accepted at secondary care only for the patient to be listed immediately once they see a consultant.

Letting trans and non-binary just live our lives in peace and without harassment isn't going to turn everyone either trans or non-binary. This is just like the "gay panic" of the 80's/90's. The ECHR draft guidance was so poor and illiterate they had to delete it. www.thetimes.com/article/3d81...

Apparently this is the wrong answer, so Wes Streeting is launching another review by a team picked to deliver a more convenient answer 🙄 Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.

I wonder how many cigars JK Rowling smokes as she mumbles “I love it when a plan comes together” as she giggles, picturing all the children she has made feel sad and more alone today

I have called on the Equalities Minister to withdraw badly written guidance for single-sex spaces to protect everyone's rights and ensure trans people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

It was 15yrs of austerity imposed on the NHS that caused these now annual scenes in the first place. Don't blame the frontline staff for a crisis of govts own making - they're the only people keeping it afloat at all. Sky News share.google/7ZX6Z2X8vzHw...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

just for anyone who lost track; The inch bigots were given a decade ago has turned into several miles and my friends are suffering for it.

It's horrific watching this play out, in exactly the same step by step way the trans community has been warning about for so many years now.

It's worth remembering that the government could stop the exclusion of trans people from public life any time they want.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

A Labour government passed the Equality Act. A Labour government was in power when the Supreme Court interpreted it to not mean what ministers at the time were clear it was intended to mean. The Labour government response should have been to legislate to fix it. Not doing so was a cowardly betrayal.

Joanne will never run out of money because people keep buying her stuff, and so this will keep happening. SLAPP after SLAPP until trans people are completely drummed out of public existence and nobody will do a thing about it

What possible rational reason could someone come up with for opposing any child being a Guide? There really is no sphere of life they won’t drum trans people out of. It couldn’t be clearer they won’t stop until they’ve manage to persecute trans people out of existence

it’s fun watching people see what trans folks have been warning of for years. the media has no capacity to inform about the politicization of health care

This literally means that if a trans person requires GnRH blockers for cancer treatment (i.e breast or prostate), they CANNOT get cancer treatment. Insane. Absolutely insane - and deadly.

Page 30. The bigotry towards people who are transgender is not incidental. It was and is a central plank of the Labour Party to gain and retain power. This is who our government is and every LGBT person should never forget this.

New research shows trans kids on hormone treatment have less suicide ideation A new report has shown that transgender youth who are on hormone treatment have a reduced level of suicide ideation. The research builds upon earlier work, but this time examined a much larger cohort.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

From r/TransgenderUK: The BBC is putting together a hit piece against GenderGP.

American evangelicals have spent a decade pumping millions into the country. And no one cared because they were focusing on trans people.
