If you're trans, you're trans. Live your life and get the most out of it. It's going to be hard no matter what. There's no reason to be proactive about limiting yourself or making it harder. Seize your own happiness, tranny! Nobody else is going to seize it for you!

And a special thank you to our amazing student volunteers and ambassadors, who spent 3 days covered in paint and clay only to be tragically attacked by the #LancSciFest t-Rex

this is fucking disgusting. i hope this spells the doom of the labour party. fucking ghouls.

Hello world!!! We’re the Archaeology & Anthropology degrees team at University of Lancashire, and we’re FINALLY on Bluesky ;) thought we’d kick off with our adventures at #LancSciFest - palaeo painting and potted prehistory! See you Saturday? 👋

If you are in any way involved in UK Archaeology (in its broadest sense) then please sign this open letter I and others have put together to UK Archaeological associations to urge overt and resolute solidarity with trans archaeologists, and the wider trans community docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So, the "clarity" that the Supreme Court ruling keeps getting hailed as, has in reality produced a rule that everyone from the Welsh National Opera to Wetherspoons have said they haven't the slightest intention of enforcing. What a surprise. www.bbc.com/news/article...

SURPRISING: we interviewed a hundred women and this is apparently the ideal male body type!

happy lesbian visibility week!! 🧡🤍🩷

Illegal lesbians

Fun fact, straight men defining who gets to qualify as a lesbian is more dangerous to honest-to-god lesbians than a trans woman having a profile on Her.

I've been EXTREMELY uncomfortable with how trans women being forced to use the men's room is (rightfully) portrayed as a tragedy... while trans men being forced into the women's is played as a comedy. "Haha, you want THIS guy to use the ladies room?" As if that guy isn't in major danger.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

"Death before detransition" Seen in San Diego, California

So fucking right

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

The UK Supreme Court is Wrong. Trans Women are Women Trans Men are Men Non-Binary people are Non-Binary. The court's ruling on biological sex is not only wrong, it is dangerous, overty transphobic, and further highlights the organised transphobia of the UK's cis-supremacist society.

Right, because I've now seen misunderstandings of this enough times that it's got me worried that people don't know this - transgender people in the UK are protected by the Equality Act 2010 under the category of gender reassignment. *That* was not under discussion today and hasn't changed.

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

currently dying ny hair red for the first time, it will never be the same again

if youre transgender you have to eat a little bit of shredded cheese from the refrigerator. you can do more you can do less but at the very least you have to eat a little bit of shredded cheese from the refrigerator

this shit has unironically helped me out so much
