It's less than ONE WEEK until #HedgehogWeek - our biggest week of the year for celebrating #hedgehogs & spreading the word about what we can all do to help protect the future of this amazing species in the UK. 🦔 Hedgehog Awareness Week runs 3rd - 9th May - please #ShareToMakeAware! buff.ly/EVzmoE7

It's day 3 of The Safety Hedgehog versus FBPE nerds! Whole lotta people referring to me as "it" and a whole lotta other people supporting those posts calling me "it" But they're definitely not transphobic and turning to obvious transphobic dogwhistles the moment things get prickly

Sorry for the grumble, I am in the midst of some bad personal life things and needed to rant upon seeing that privileged tantrum from a handful of accounts. Normal service resumed, try not to be transphobic friends.

Another case of centrist dorks going "that list isn't accurate! It's clearly malicious!" and blocking me, so I go to check who they're getting in a strop about and they are clearly on here for a reason

Official Hedgehog Statement: Fuck Pink News

Spotted this post about the blocklist and just wanted to clarify. The blocklist was set up under that name because at the time a bunch of horrible "polite" British transphobes were trying to worm their way in, so it was a means to stop that in its tracks. Since then we cover any and all transphobes

A statement on the IOC's decision to reintroduce mandatory sex testing for women. Please share widely. Alt text follows in the following posts.

Random Bluesky centrist chud: "this prominent centrist user shouldn't be on the list!" Other random Bluesky centrist chud: "yes that list is definitely not trustworthy any more!" Me: checks and finds the prominent centrist user has spoken against trans kids taking part in sports

Like transphobic posts, win transphobic prizes (getting added to the block list)

if you think it's fine to misgender someone you dislike, for example, you are saying that you don't truly think trans people should be recognised as their true gender, but instead that recognition is a privilege to be bestowed upon the deserving

*cracks knuckles and puts on a pot of coffee*

Again: deliberately misgendering someone and then refusing to apologise for it because you are having an argument about something else is transphobic. Allyship is defined by your actions, and if you turn to transphobia because you don't like the other person you're not an ally.

A friendly reminder that if you have a problematic fave who's ended up on the list for posting transphobic crap, you are welcome to simply not use the list 💋

Maybe if you were transphobic on Twitter and you are trying to be less so on this platform, you should avoid posting absolute nonsense takes that draw the attention of people who remember your Twitter posts, follows, and likes 💋

Americans considering supporting Gavin Newsom should take one look at the UK under Keir Starmer, because that's what you're getting in a few years. You can choose a better candidate than a sleazy old transphobe.

In light of the recent new arrivals to Bluesky, I've set up a second list. This is because I know from prior conversations that some of you want to keep up with posts from these bodies and others don't, so this seemed like the best way forward. Hopefully, this is helpful for you all.

Love that the lack of safety for trans people on here is a fucking punchline to Jay

The lovely bluesky user who posted this at me did it to defend an "ally" who was joking about the hypothetical deaths of trans people in Gaza btw Sorry for having standards lol

They could have the best community guidelines in the world, and it still wouldn't make a difference if they continue to ignore them in order to protect certain accounts and punish others (And these are far from the best community guidelines in the world)

The last couple of days have made it abundantly clear that Bluesky has two tiers of moderation (for any who missed the way they treat Palestinian accounts, Black accounts and trans accounts). White right wing voices will be prioritised, every single time. Bluesky Safety is a sham.

bluesky moderation is blocking trans accounts on flimsy pretexts for threats that aren't threats mastodon.social/@fedilore/11...

some racist lady threatened to punch me in the mouth last week. Her punk ass is still here. So let's be so serious about who gets protected by these "no violence" decrees and who Bluesky tells to get fucked

Where is this focus for those celebrating the deaths of Palestinian children on Bluesky? Where is this focus for the threats against trans people? Where were the thoughts for the Hortmans? Why does it matter more when a fascist dies?

your regular reminder to use www.dumptheguardian.com

Hey @brexitblocklist.bsky.social you've got the addition of @dangermike.bsky.social incorrect here. Definitely shouldn't be on the anti-LGBTQ bigotry, Toxic, or Disinformation lists. He's a very strong ally and has been for years. I'd heavily recommend reversing these additions.

Expecting a candidate to demonstrate they are not transphobic in order to earn my vote is not a purity test. It's a basic humanity test.

Might not be around much the next couple of days but will get to any tagged accounts when I can.

Jessie Gender's ban shows what we all know. Bluesky, especially its Trust & Safety team, will only begrudgingly protect trans people and will prioritise the feelings of bigots. If they had ever done their job, this list wouldn't need to exist. But they're getting worse all the time.

Deliberately misgender trans people? That's transphobic. Defend someone who is deliberately nisgendering trans people and saying it isn't transphobic? Guess what: that's also transphobic.

ATTENTION FRIENDS!! My account got fusking hijacked! I made a new one... I hope I'll find everybody, if @heavens-night-84.bsky.social‬ sends you anything, believe nothing, its a fucking scam! Goddamn I'm foolish, I'm absolutely furious about this! I've reported my account hijacked and the person

Since this is regularly coming up, a quick clarification: Showing support for the transphobia of Gavin Newsom or sharing similar views: will add to the list. A generic discussion over voting for the lesser evil if he theoretically becomes the candidate: not adding to the list.

Ok, so there's some weird large-scale harassment based on disinformation and lies I wanted to clear up. The account @jerrydemocrat.bsky.social recently followed me, and it already has thousands of followers despite being created only four days ago. This felt abnormal so I looked deeper.

I'm disappointed that the conversation is about whether we should call folks 'pregnant people' or not. The news reader live-manipulated a quote from a researcher who used inclusive language, because she was so irked. Unprofessional behaviour driven by hate.

It's always helpful when another UK journalist posts a silly take on here, because then I can spot they're about and whether they need to be added to the list for a prior transphobic article.

Re. Reduxx: obviously added, and the creator. Also everyone who reposted who liked a post. I have also gone through all followers of the account and anyone who is not specifically pro-trans rights has been added, because you do not follow an account like that by accident.

Am a huge Eurovision fan, but will not be watching tonight, because I am not a huge fan of genocide. I hope you join me.

A plea. Please stop calling it interim guidance. It's not guidance, and the EHRC don't call it that. It's an "interim update". They only say that the guidance remains forthcoming. This is genuinely driving me potty (more than I usually am).

Trans. Men. Are. Not. A. Gotcha.

Lots of useless UK journalists have been trying to both sides the reaction to the UK Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday. I've seen a huge influx of burner accounts solely set up to inflict pain on trans people. These journalists should ask themselves if that's the actions of a non-bigoted group.

Busy morning

Noooooo you don't understaaaaaaaand it's just ESSENTIAL to good science that you let me misgender trans people in this specific context because otherwise, um, uh, well, you see, the STATISTICS I am so committed to quality on the statistics aaaaaah oh no I'm screaming and vomiting noooooooooooooo

Searching "Newsom correct" and going nuclear on those defending him and those liking posts defending him. Tolerance for that shit will turn the Democrats into the 2025 UK Labour Party.

Don't worry friends, Duffield was added the moment I was told

Just checking in on that Islamophobic journalist who was repeating the old "echo chamber of Bluesky" nonsense, and *of course* he's talked previously about JK Rowling being an example of someone being shut out from the left for having 'non-groupthink views'.

"Knowing what we know now" is just code for "Keir Starmer and the other radicalised people in the cabinet have told us to change our policy"

Oh look, a big "resist" account making a transphobic dunk about someone. Sure I'll get flack for adding, but maybe try not making transphobic comments 🤷‍♂️

Bluesky Trust & Safety once again failing at its core purpose of keeping users safe. User moderation like this account isn't a suitable replacement.

absolutely livid. so these responses earned me this email. unfucking real. i get called a fucking sissy by a trans misogynistic piece of shit and my retort gets me the "a bluesky account you control" email. incel ass website.
