You know what stops potential detransitioners from making mistakes? A safe, open environment they can explore things Do you know what increases the bad outcome? A closed off, gatekeeping environment that stops people from exploring those things until years after they started questioning

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

**** Trans Exile Network press releaset 24 October 2025 **** UK and Ireland: 24 October 2025 The Trans Exile Network and the Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective write to the Women and Equalities Network in relation to re-opening Human Rights enforcement and seeking questioning of minister

ANNOUNCEMENT This evening, 14/10/25 the Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective and the Trans Exile Network have taken the next step in the struggle to restore the human rights, dignity & safety of UK trans people.

🚨This is an emergency🚨 This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life. Use our tool to email your MP: tinyurl.com/scrap-the-bathroom-ban @transsolidarity.bsky.social #ScrapTheBathroomBan

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Because of the unforgivably appalling decisions of the Charity Commission, these hate groups, Sex Matters and LGB Alliance, are funded from your taxes.

I remember being told that this whole fake Brexit referendum is just a strategic move to ensure that the ultra-right wing of Tories and Farage will disappear from the mainstream of shaping British politics for a generation, if not two. Some of the people who told me that still have six-digit jobs.

Is it just me or do the releases so far from Florence + the Machine's new album seem to be shaping up for a soundtrack to @junodawson.bsky.social HMRC series if the adaptation was dark Like the latest one could totally be the outro music for the end of book 2 when [spoiler] brings [spoiler spoiler]

TikTok Algorithm update

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

🧵 Just found an old email from LGBT+ Labour from June 2020. It's about a leak to The Times which said the Tory government was about to break its promise to reform the Gender Recognition Act. They had held an emergency meeting to discuss ways to counter the Tories' plans, and had set up a petition. >

This has got to me a bit today so here we go. No Rebecca we can't have a calm discussion for the way forward when one side's intention is to eliminate us, secondly the heat is coming from one side, it's the side accusing trans people of being paedophiles, rapists, cheats and predators. 1/26

I know I keep going on about this but 1) yes 2) it has DEEPLY embarrassed the media people who kept trying to pretend that this regime can be treated as legitimate, and 3) we absolutely cannot let them forget it

This is precisely the problem, the refusal by centrist elites to differentiate between challenging ideas and debunked lies. It's not "challenging" to hear that black people are stupid or gay people are degenerates, it's just wrong.

Fantastic work here by @transsolidarity.bsky.social, highlighting the ridiculous burden the EHRC’s new Code of Practice would place on UK business, forcing them into trans-exclusionary practices that are “incompatible with modern business values”. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“More than 650 organisations including Ben and Jerry’s, Lush and hundreds of small cafes and pubs have written to the government to warn that the EHRC’s draft guidance on single sex spaces is ‘unworkable’ and would ‘cause significant economic harm’.” https://bit.ly/4guj9Gf

Oh dear. Apparently Lord Hodge has been speaking to The Times (go figure) to justify the mess that is the FWS judgment and suggesting that it is based on careful assessment of whether their ‘biological sex’ option makes sense. Well, given …

This is a staggering statement by a Supreme Court Justice, to assert that the government department that took legislation through parliament immediately misinterpreted it.... Does he think that's even remotely logical?

From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

The Groyper Wars

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Oh good, the Everything's Fine alarm.

The only reason anyone wants to take us out of the human rights convention is that it is stopping them from hurting people they want to hurt more We should never forget that one of the convention's main purposes is protecting you from your government

Green Party elect Zack Polanski as their new leader by a fucking landslide

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!" They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

The problem is that it *has* to be this way now; they have to double down on both-sides equivocation in pursuit of 'objectivity', because the fact of the genocide and every antecedent event contributing to it from October 8th onward is so glaring that to change tune now would be to admit complicity.

I was reading in my room late one night When I woke to taps - no man in sight But this raven from the gloom began to squalk To my surprise, that bird could talk (Said nevermore) That bird said Nevermore (No nevermore) I asked him 'bout Lenore (Said nevermore) It's still above my door

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

WELCOME TO COUNTING WITH KIER “Add the 15 points gained by the Lib Dems to the 7 points gained by the Greens.” “Easy. 22.” “Now deduct the 6 points lost by the Tories from the 7 points gained by Reform.” “1.” “Very good! Now, what’s bigger, 22 or 1?” “Labour will Police Our Borders.”

No big deal "It's just till we get in office ..." "It's just sports," "It's just restrooms." "It's just your pronouns." "It's just your name." "It's just your medications." "It's just your job." "It's just your kids." "It's just you."

The same story again. Stand up for trans people and you will be vilified even for removing yourself from a good opportunity, and the media will have little interest in your views or motives. Vilify trans people and you win sympathy and coverage in the national and international press.

Caught Out Run in the wild the other day

In an article about authors opting out of a literary prize, you have included a statement from only one of those authors. On the other hand, you have chosen to include the words of two other major gender critical voices, neither of whom were in any way affiliated with the prize. 2/

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

The U.K. Online Safety Act was (avowedly, as revealed in a recent High Court case) “not primarily aimed at protecting children” but at regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse.”

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

I’ve sold AI to Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map.

Good morning this is all I have to contribute to the discourse

Every UK petition is like this

if you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "star trek", "star wars", "dr who", or "transformers"

So we need to talk about test statistics and trans bathroom bans These are the way we measure how effective tests are in medicine So we need to talk about:🧵

AI in the wild? This tray tissue I was given at a restaurant is full of errors and hallucinations…!

If people naturally hated trans people, the media wouldn't have to work this hard.
