Yesterday was Transgender Day of Remembrance. I was at the vigil in Nottingham, as well as supporting my transgender siblings throughout their transition. Because of this, I am only getting around to writing a post now. Trans lives matter. Trans rights are human rights. 🧵1/6

Help @nightkristina.bsky.social took me to a shithole!1!1!1!1!!! (All Saint's Church, Chafford Hundred)

🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost. We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account. To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

🕯️Today (20 November) is Transgender Day of Remembrance. 🪦 In the past year, we lost 365 of our fellow transgender siblings - 14 of them being in the UK. 🏳️‍⚧️ If you are able to, please attend a vigil and pay your respects to those who we have lost to transphobia.

10 weeks since I started HRT. It has already improved my life in many ways, both mentally and physically. I actually have boobs now. Wow! I can now laugh at furniture. But best of all, I feel cute! Without the help of @nightkristina.bsky.social and @katie.x1labs.co.uk, I'd probably not be here.

In my opinion, I'd think twice before considering speaking to GenderGP. It's not a service I will ever use again.

What is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR) and how is it observed?

Good evening! We will be reporting on a protest march across the Silver Jubilee Bridge for Transgender Awareness Week. The motto of this protest is, "bridging the fight for trans equality", hence the bridge march.

help why am I so cute? (photo by @chilterntravels.uk)

This thread will be used for the Cardiff protest, beginning at 12:20. I (Kristina) will return to this thread once I have reached the location of the protest.

Today we will be reporting on the counter protests in both London and Wales today. @nightkristina.bsky.social will be in Wales and I @alyx.whatthetrans.com will be in London. In London I have already left a business card at where the terfs will be congregating at parliament square.

Rest in power, Lía Smith. We will remember you. And we will fight back against the dark, cruel world that you were unfairly taken from.

Help I think I've ended up at the wrong Beaulieu Park

Yes, I now have a face.

Good morning, Kristina (@nightkristina.bsky.social) here reporting on Exeter Trans Pride. We will shortly be heading over to England's worst GIC, The Laurels on Dixs Field, to gather - With a waiting list of 31 years for a first appointment.

TERFs be like: "You'll never be a real electric bus, you'll always be a diesel"

Derby Trans Pride

🏳️‍⚧️ Derby Trans Pride The rain didn't stop us! A good amount of people turned up to Derby Trans Pride regardless, spreading trans joy across Derby. 5,000 Twitter accounts, or some 5 people, came to counter protest, but we easily outnumbered them.

freedeedpoll.org.uk is BACK! It's been redesigned as well, with a much more modern UI design and even a video tutorial as seen here: freedeedpoll.org.uk/video/ A thread on the redesign (1/13)

I had to pay in crypto for the first time for something, I wonder what that could be?

so I've had to boymode for 100 days, as I've had to stay at my parents over the summer. it was pain. the good news is that things will get better from tomorrow. something is coming...

The Divine Comedy.

Prepare. Learn how to DIY. Stockpile. The end is nigh, potentially.

Everyone's talking about the EHRC guidance banning trans people from single-sex spaces like toilets + changing rooms... but there is another looming threat in the Levy Review TL;DR expected very soon; separate under-25 pathway, lays the groundwork for more gatekeeping in the NHS

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Myself and @katie.x1labs.co.uk have quite the stack of unused fashion... So we're giving it to other trans folks in need! This bag of unused clothes is mostly women's fashion, with a few men's hoodies as far as I know. There's a handful of unisex clothes as well. More info TBA

www.lner.co.uk/news/lner-si... Oh dear. LNER continuing to expand their ripoff "Simplified Fares" area.

It is with deep sadness that one of my closest friends, @jimokurku.bsky.social, has almost certainly taken her own life. Unfortunately, she lives with a horribly transphobic mother, and faces severe gender dysphoria, which both directly lead to her taking her own life. 1/4

London Trans Pride: A Montage

Music piracy is starting to increase in the UK, I wonder why that could be?

🏳️‍⚧️ London Trans Pride Today, I went to London Trans+ Pride with @katie.x1labs.co.uk, @realkasumi.bsky.social, @chilterntravels.uk and another trans person I know. A very strong demonstration every year, in the hope that future children can grow up in a world that isn't cruel to trans people.

London Trans Pride

VPN usage has shot up in the UK today, I wonder why that could be?

Following successive pieces of anti-trans guidance, I'm now finally going to bite the bullet and change my name. Should've done it ages ago, but oh well. PS: If YOU haven't done it too, you should do it NOW.

Two decades old and I still haven't started HRT. That will hopefully change within the next few months.

Over a year ago, people were shouting "FUCK THE TORIES" in the street because of their awful policies and incompetent leadership. Today, Labour has equally as awful policies and incompetent leadership. But no one is shouting "FUCK LABOUR". Why?

The ad is lying. It took my sister over 10 minutes to buy some off-peak tickets from London to York via Trainline, since Trainline doesn't show those fares by default on the website, and not at all on the app. Meanwhile a ticket office would have sold her the exact same tickets in only 1 minute.

How the hell does Google Maps determine if a place/business is "LGBTQ friendly"? Do they just check whether the business has a rainbow logo and say "yup! probably friendly, totally doesn't ban trans people from using the toilets"?

Some trains at Derby yesterday.

I still can't get over how an organisation literally called "The Equality and Human Rights Commission" is actually against Equality and Human Rights. We're such a backwards country.

Post a photo of a bus from your camera roll

This country is finished.

Huge congrats to MY WIIIFFEEEEE! I'm so proud of you and I'm so happy for you! You've gone through so much and are so strong! LOVE YOU HEAPSSSS! @protonjon.bsky.social

When trans rights are under attack, STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK! At the protest in Nottingham today with @katie.x1labs.co.uk and inoobkillervip on Twitter - Standing up against the Supreme Court's tyranny. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

“There isn’t any law saying that you cannot use a neutral third space, and they should be using their powers of advocacy to ask for those third spaces.” I swear I've seen those third spaces before. oh, yeah
