i need like $100 to get my phone turned back on right now so if anyone could help that would be appreciated #mutualaid #MARequest #helpsky

Amazing!

To be completely honest she's maybe one quarter shark but still shark where it counts. Yes, there too.

I will never understand straight sexuality.

The big bill im worrying about is a 70 dollar heath insurance payment 💛

Yes, appears innocent, doesn't it? But what they don't tell you was each of these mannequins was once a girl who spent too long gazing at this picture. An evil manageress-witch ensorcelled and dollified them, for her terrible and perverted games. Beware!

Cis guy: "No, I would totally ace the mirror test! The only thing that stopped me this time was another guy standing right the opposite side of the mirror, clearly mocking me!"

I feel like a lot of cis straight guys would fail the mirror test

You ought be be able to stamp this logo on bad book-tok-ers, redditors, etc.

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

The convention is excruciating, Pearlllll shut up, shut the fuck up, say no to the chaser, get the hell out of there, girl stop!!!!!! God I really picked something agonising as my first Jemma Topaz book, this is brain-poison and it's so fucking good. Genuinely a must-read of modern trans fiction!

Oh FB targeted ads... I am unlikely to become a mother at any point soon.

Yes, it really is. It also has a lot to say about storytelling, with some very clever bits. Also, a child actor who is actually good (I think because she mostly just improvises and says whatever, in a childlike way which would be difficult to write and to act).

As someone who now seen the finished piece: you wolp-perverts (positive) are going to love it!

Honestly, this is how anthropologists talk about gender outside the West, but it only registers as absurd when the same lens is turned around.

Why would a nunnery have a knot club? The sisters are encouraged to learn a variety of skills, like the knotwork used by seamen, for example, even if, in everyday life, it's more likely to be used to tie up faggots of firewood.

I cannot express enough how much y'all should read this book. Hands down, this will be on my best read 2026 list. Also the gorgeous cover by @anemoneart.bsky.social makes it that much better :3

The indie-est book that a TERF can promote before she gets scared...

Yall hecking liked this for some reason, I should do it more often

Less than 500 eur away from meeting the goal!! Please help me get there in time 🙏 gofund.me/868326a37

Really looking forward to the artbook. You should too!

Lot's of cis people don't realise that a trans woman has just 2 enemies: 🔸️themselves, and 🔸️the rest of society And the 2nd looks like the big threat, and it is, but it's only existential in the sense of maybe killing you. It's actually quite boring, in a grim machinery of evil way.

Yeah. I remarked upon the US/UK difference in the afterword to my latest book. As far as our lives are concerned, at least the US is more honest.

Ginger's very important, very medically sound opinions. ... yes I'm working hard on this artbook ok? This is serious. You'll see in a week or so.

YO

One of the most stupid ideas in the stupid EHRC document is the idea that you can respectfully question someone's gender, then decide they're not telling the truth! But sensitively. And then direct them to a 3rd space, with dignity! How are you going to do that, fuckos?! (Also, why, of course)

Yes, definitely worthwhile if you're in the wonderful world of self-pub. Bee has advised me on covers and blurbs/cover copy (I hate these) and stuff like 'what should you market your book as' (which I am useless at). She's got a wealth of knowledge about the whole 'books' business!

They are all like this...

ONE DAY REMAINING! Are y'all ready for the biggest RCBG Sunday ever? Ready to get hooked on 'Estro Junkies'?

Yeah, this is about when I am on the Guardian cartoon. In a vacuum, it's a poignant piece. But it's not in a vacuum. The artist has good intentions, and seems to be a good person. But it's being published and paid for by a paper that is our bloody enemy. That should have made the artist think.

I am going to choose to hope that your good intentions lead to some good outcomes and that your decision to place this poignant artwork in a venue that has historically been hostile to trans people makes the difference you wish it to. But I have my doubts.

not only will the guardian campaign relentlessly to strip away your rights, they'll then get a cartoonist to draw how sad having your rights stripped away makes you and call it balance

One cartoon can't counteract all the targeted attacks over the past decade. Without a formal apology and reparations to trans people from The Guardian this is just insulting. No offence meant to the person who made the cartoon just the audacity of The Guardian publishing it

I kept missing this episode ☹️

My 5⭐ARC review of Estro Junkies by Talia Bhatt & Beth Leigh-Ann. "If you want to temporarily forget what the difference between a man & a woman is & be plunged into an abyss of self-doubt, endless recriminations, & world-class misandry, this is the book for you." www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Hearing "Lo, Nuns!" In the same tone as "SEEEEGAAAAAA" when I booted up my old Sega Megadrive and loving it.

The 1997 adaption was not well received. The platform action was 'janky' and critics complained about the unexpected levels of BDSM.

We did it, lads. We banned trans people from toilets. Now to sit back and watch house prices come down and vegetables stop rotting on supermarket shelves and we'll all come together and feast on Cadbury's Creme Eggs as big as your head, m'boy, And we'll watch Morecambe and Wise, who did NOT die

Ah, um, Lo Nuns, by @jemma.bsky.social a bit spicier than expected, not for consumption in cafés and restaurants. had to come on here for a bit of EHCR doomscrolling to regain my composure. 😳

Can highly recommend "Estro Junkies" to people who are incapable of perceiving humour. They might not get much out it, but it will be a laugh for everyone else!

A whimsical arranged-marriage romance w/ a sapphic twist…perfect for fans of Monsoon Wedding & But I’m a Cheerleader. A searing indictment of the ravages of gender ideology on its cis male victims. Trainspotting w/ estrogen in place of heroin. Imagine if Mr. Beast ran a force-fem contest.

Since the concept is being misunderstood and misused, let's talk about what "third-sexing" means as a mechanism of transphobia. I built on an idea first discussed in @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl" that discussed how, interpersonally, cis people refuse to acknowledge our genders.

This is the most mealy-mouthed degendering bullshit in the whole thing, because the assertion is that a space cannot include both cis and trans women without also including men. Since trans women are third-sexed, including us but not men magically becomes discriminatory. Absolute piss.

So, as far as I can see, the UK has introduced an apartheid against trans people with the extra stupidity that—they admit—there is no way to prove your sex either way. It boils down to the provider having to judge—sensitively and respectfully, somehow—whether you look gender-conforming enough.

BIG thanks to @helsinore.bsky.social, whose sharp analysis of "RCBG" chapters practically make xer livereads a crucial part two of the biweekly story updates! I'm so glad you enjoyed "Estro Junkies" and that you've recommended it so, so strongly!
