New poem up on my Substack - follow the quoted post below 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I have started writing again creatively. I write erotic stories inspired by my muse. My 1st story is live: The Dinner - Part 1 (P2 coming soon). Please read, subscribe & let me know what you think: mymastertellsmestories.substack.com/p/the-dinner...

Shout out to all my trans friends protesting today, stay safe out there - Always remember: No comment, No details, No duty solicitor, No caution, What power?

Any Member of Parliament who does not actively work towards passing primary legislation to protect the rights of trans and nonbinary people should be considered to be taking a stand against us. There is no neutral. Inaction is oppression. Statements of support or solidarity are worthless.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Hell. Fucking. No. Trump and Musk are coming for the World Trade Center Health Program. I’m one of thousands of 9/11 First Responders that are enrolled in the program. They actually called me last week to schedule my annual appointment. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Reading the UK section of the Annual Review and a few things we want to highlight: 1. The shameful way in which migrants (LGBTQ+ or otherwise) are treated 2. The number of court cases brought by anti-trans campaigners 3. The sheer amount of stuff that is making it harder to be trans in the UK.

HuffPost reporting 1,000 protesters and growing at Stonewall! If you are in the area get down there!

Okay, this came in the post which is gender euphoric. GP did what she said she would do put thru my referral to the gender clinic. I’m under no illusions that the wait time for 1st appointment is LONG (only just seeing adults referred Nov 2018) BUT I need this. A significant step forward for me. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

So my other account is still not working on Threads so I’ve created a backup. @zozoaurora.bsky.social is aware & been helping spread the word so if you get a new Threads follow it’s me. Here is the account.

So if you follow me on Threads you will know I was thinking of deactivating for a few days. Tested the feature, logged back in to check there would be no issues reactivating & now nothing. Error messages, blank pages and I can see my profile on the app. And others have said I’m not searchable. HELP!

Anyone here that follows me on Threads can you see my posts because when I try to even see my replies every post I’ve replied to is “unavailable”. Really worried I’ve accidentally nuked my Threads just for testing a feature.

Great. Tested the deactivate account feature on Threads, reactivated and now I can’t see anyone’s posts or the feeds. Awesome. Bad day just got worse.

Doc is going to write a referral to Glasgow gender services clinic this week!!! Caveat: it’s only now seeing adults referred Nov 2018. Grateful Doc has got this rolling though - will be in mid-50’s. Financial constraints mean I’m at mercy of hold-ups in NHS trans care. Still taking this as a win!🏳️‍⚧️

BREAKING: A Statement calling for Wes Streeting to Resign. Signed by: Rainbow Greens LGBTQIA+ Greens LGBT+ Liberal Democrats Out For Independence Citing recent comments by Wes Streeting on the Bayswater group.

Again nothing in this case relates to anything Beth Upton said or did, but rhe mere fact of her presence as a trans woman. It's straightforward bigotry. archive.is/NL1ZV

Mother Monster is on repeat! Love the chorus, video is brilliant! Can't wait for the new album! 🎧 Lady Gaga - Abracadabra youtu.be/vBynw9Isr28?...

My cat Willow has the best crossed paw work. Sometimes it’s the casual one paw crossed over like here and sometimes it’s two paws crossed over. Either way she’s the bestest cat & I hope she brings a little smile to your day!

Started reading The T in LGBT by Jamie Raines Partner asked if I wanted a cuppa. Must have had a look because they asked if I was ok & I just cried. They hugged me & asked what was wrong & I said I felt every word as if they were being spoken to me affirming what I know. I AM 🏳️‍⚧️ I’ve always been 🏳️‍⚧️

Since coming out as trans masc I’m taking more photos of myself. NOT at all 100% comfortable in this body BUT when I get a gender affirming haircut as I did again today I feel euphoric & want to celebrate to make up for the moments when I don’t. Feel handsome right now so here’s some trans joy! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

🧵 TBT vs now. Aged 4. Never felt right being girly. Always wanted to be 1 of the boys. Back then (1980ish) the word was tomboy - we didn’t have the awareness we have now but I always knew. Aged 5 my soul cried out I was a boy. 👇🏻

I want every single trans person to read this document. It is important to understand what we are fighting against and the shamelessness of their hatred. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I’m not watching the farce that is going off across the pond today. I refuse to add to rating figures or online clicks and views of related articles today. I’m having a queer day starting off with Chappell Roan on repeat! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is so pathetically transparent that this is political theater. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/t...

Fucks sake! Fucks sake! Fucks sake!

metro.co.uk/2025/01/18/t... Great article by @itsjoshmilton.bsky.social and it shows we need to be a pain in the ass.

Look, if your starting point when it comes to trans people is that being trans is a political problem or social threat, then you do not have “reasonable concerns” or “legitimate questions.” You just want to see trans people erased from public life.

No lies detected here… 😈😈😈

If you’re UK based please sign this petition and if not please at least share to get this petition more visibility & hopefully UK based mutuals will see. Thank you. 🏳️‍⚧️

Doc appointment to look at some things going on with my hormones (trans masc going thru menopause). Spoke to Doc about referral to a gender clinic. Massive wait times here. My Doc has never referred someone BUT has said she will look into what steps she needs to take & we'll talk next appointment.

Saw this elsewhere. I’m still sniggering…🤭🤭🤭

SO looking forward to this. I've met Mhari Black in person at a party event & she's a great speaker. Funny, knowledgable & passionate & great to chat to. Missed her show at the @edfringe.bsky.social but am so glad we get to see this at the Glasgow Comedy Fest. Thanks to my partner for getting tix!

Another study undermines the Cass report & by doing so shows how Cass was absolutely ideologically motivated.

This policy change makes sense when you remember that Project 2025 architect, Dustin Carmack, is in charge of policy at Meta. When I uncovered this, he deactivated his LinkedIn. Project 2025 wants to classify trans people as pornographic and ban us from public.

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they’re dealing with 🏳️‍⚧️

Lol. The rule of law is a joke. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/u...

I saw Nick Clegg had resigned recently & Carmack was taking his role. LGBTQ+ accounts on Threads for example have seen a concerted effort to stop our voices, stop us protecting ourselves etc but this is scary. This is Meta's OWN A.I. bot account is lifting the lid - which means they want us to know.

It really is scary how different two reviews can be. Clearly highlights that one is based on good scientific review of available evidence where the other comes from a position of choosing their conclusions then forcing the evidence to fit.

Last cut of the year & despite the spot on my face I LOVE this (don’t let lack of smile fool you, was going for blue steel). My hairdresser is ACE at being able to make me as feel handsome. She’s POSITIVE about my gender journey too. It can take a small thing to give euphoria & it means so much! 🏳️‍⚧️😊

Anyone reading the Cass Review should be able to see it was political, with a set end point dictated in advance. It was criticised at the time by scientists for this. Every other country’s reviews on gender affirming care has found puberty blockers are safe. Cass’ report should be binned.

An Independent report into Queensland Children's Gender Services, has recommended a boost to staffing to help decrease the gender service's waitlist and allow young people to access the clinic sooner. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07...

New: Statement from @ilgaeurope.bsky.social, IPPF European Network etc calling on the UK Gov to reconsider their indefinite ban on puberty blockers and instead provide evidence-based healthcare, free from the distortions of ideology and misinformation. www.ilga-europe.org/news/joint-s...

Brilliant article from Dazed: "Throughout 2024..No anti-trans legislation has passed through parliament, yet our rights have been greatly eroded and last week’s puberty blocker ban notably codifies differential treatment of trans kids in law." www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture...

"Wrong people listened to on puberty blockers ban". The National in Scotland continuing to do some good work.

Using the Cass report as justification for banning puberty blockers is simply dishonest. Cass's actual findings, documented in the appendices, found PBs have been used safely for trans kids since 1988 with not a single case of harm documented in thousands of records. Cass did *not* recommend a ban.

The assault on puberty blockers in the UK is going to cause irreparable damage to trans youth. I don't have any witty comment or snide remark to add to this, I'm just devastated for all trans kids in the U.K right now and I'm so sorry you have to deal with this nonsense.
