“People who used to find my bigotry funny are now asking if I’m one of the bad guys and this upsets me”

Oh dear. Oh dear.

The cruellest thing about ADHD isn’t the compelled dopamine seeking behaviour to make our shitty synapses behave. No. It’s that while dopamine seeking can be from doing fun and psychologically healthy things, it’s easier to do it by hating ourselves. Who’s NOT going to pick the low hanging fruit?

Nobody tell them about the labia scars.

I once asked a nurse about the difference in antibiotics courses for UTIs. It's literally just about the physical length of the tube that is infected. Got a penis? Urethra is longer so you get 7 days. Vagina? 3 days. "Sex at birth" is irrelevant. All the matters is whatever is going on today.

This is the other thing. Almost no doctors understand HRT. Including consultant endocrinologists. Seriously. I am not kidding. They’re treating people based on stuff that was discredited in the 20th century. It’s odd because it’s not actually hard. But they utterly suck at it.

All my blood markers will test like a middle aged woman on HRT. Every one. I can get vaginal thrush and BV. I need mammograms. My response to medication and physical activity is female-typical. There is NO USEFUL SENSE in which I am “biologically male”. I’m just not.

Yes. The oft repeated “doctors need to know your birth sex to treat you properly” is completely false. If they know you’re trans, they will almost certainly fuck it up. I speak from experience. Lots of experience.

Every coffee shop near the EHRC offices needs to start aggressively implementing papers please checks for EHRC employees. You can never be too careful, you know.

JD Vance not only responding to "is the pope Catholic?" like it's a serious question, but also coming up with the wrong answer.

“Are you a transgender?” “No” That was hard

Can’t wait for women’s toilets to have a “you must be this short to piss here” sign like a theme park ride, where the cutoff is 5’8” or something

That sentence would be more accurate if they crossed out the word “transgender”

So right the thing about, like, melatonin for sleep when you have ADHD vs placebo pills is that placebo pills at least have sugar in.

At an Ashley Gavin gig in Lisboa. The vistas of concentrated sapphistry in here are a JOY to behold.

Does he know something the rest of us don’t about the UK’s Trident SLBMs? Because if he doesn’t, there are enough warheads to make a retaliatory strike rather unpleasant. To put it mildly.

These people are insane.

Literally just got a price increase from a service I've used for years and really need which is going up because of their "great new AI features." Listen you doofuses I'd be more likely to CANCEL because of that not pay more!

this is your regular reminder that @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social could quite literally undo that supreme court ruling with a single stroke of her pen. it doesn't even require a vote in parliament.

'I vigorously dispute that I asked the so-called Equality and Human Rights Commission not to totally do trans people over' is quite the message from a Labour Party that has completely lost the plot.

The more a feature says “uses AI to …” the less likely I am to use it.

I piss where I want.

I want to be very clear for any cis followers who don't quite understand what this means: Putting trans women in men's prisons amounts to providing them to male co-inmates and guards to be raped. Labour is a pro-rape party.

Isabella of Castile and León has entered the chat. Run!

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

Hi!

If you see something that looks a bit trans, text British transport police on 61016. We’ll sexually assault it. See it, say it, sorted.

2 decades postop

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.

surely @darrenpjones.bsky.social, @lucympowell.bsky.social, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, and co can get jk rowling, maya forstater, graham linehan, and the rest of the transphobic dorks that they've been pandering too for two years to go out and door knock for them hadley freeman can write a column?

Hey Starmer, get a load of this guy. Looks like he might not want to genocide trans people.

Just received an email saying that my application for Portuguese nationality has been validated and finalised. This means that it’s basically passed the initial “sniff test”; that the stuff I submitted is valid (birth certificate, language cert, criminal record checks), and it will now go into …

Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey Goodbye www.politico.eu/article/hung...

Idly musing that as a British Gen Xer, it’s not weird that my school playground had bomb shelters on it. (They used them to store PE equipment)

This really demonstrates just how transphobic the Guardian is. EVEN the BBC reported that Hilton was on the board of Sex Matters The Guardian report is inaccurate by omission.

When it comes to write the history of the last 16 months it will be about the weakness of US institutions to stand up to Trump, but the growing willingness of other states to do so. Trump’s major mistake was thinking the rest of the world was as craven as the GOP.

When all is said and done, let it be remembered that the ones that fought against the trans community hardest were a bunch of warmongering, sex trafficking, racist pedophiles.

Dress as a schoolgirl in the bedroom? Prison for you!

I am no longer apologising for or feeling bad in any way about occurrences of the double empathy problem. Frankly, if people with demonstrably greater cognitive capacity than me are willing to make “no fucking attempt whatsoever” to accommodate it, then I’m fucked if I will.

My brain is a scary and bizarre place but it could be a lot worse. It could be a TERF’s brain.

I mean, they are actually nut jobs.

It’s a lot less hurtful than they think as well. 1. If you’ve been transitioned long enough, it’s absurd. Most trans women “pass” eventually from HRT alone and lived reality trumps internet loudmouths. 2. They vastly underestimate the amount of shit we go through. Calling us men? Weak

TERFs don't call trans women men because they believe it, they do it because it's hurtful

A lot of these groups have likely had trans women on their committees helping out for years. And the rest of the committee will be like, “if head office tells us we have to kick Sandra, our treasurer, out, then they can go to hell. We’re walking too.” www.attitude.co.uk/news/longwel...
