This is hugely important whether you're trans or not. If they don't know you're trans, they can't easily discriminate against you. And having cis people do it too makes it much harder to assume that anyone who prefers not to say is doing that because they are trans.

Every trans-supporting cis person in the UK needs to make peace with becoming more annoying, persistent, and pedantic than they ever thought possible. EHRC guidance is full of contradictions - they're relying on transphobic compliance out of fear. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

Anyway the answer to simply ignore the guidance if you’re trans and make the guidance unworkable if you’re cis

My wife is a fucking superstar. She is currently on front line support for 5 simultaneous bereavement/health crises affecting her closest people. She is doing this with calm, sense, kindness and love, and despite the constant background barrage of horrors we're all under. No idea how she does it.

Coldplay. Any of it. Dreadful whingey shite. All yellow? Yeah because it's piss. I'd rather consciously uncouple from what's left of my sanity.

im so upset at that post. i think maybe there's some labour mps fighting back against what wes streeting is doing and then i read that @lizzicollinge.bsky.social post and i realise that... nope. there isn't. they all just honestly think he's being fair and neutral and not actually malicious at all.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Had this charming creature following me. Transphobia and, more unforgivably, poems that don't scan. Dim diolch.

I wish I believed in hell, or karma, or some sort of supernatural fucking consequences for those who do so much harm and face jack shit for it in this life.

it's cold out, please remember to winterize your greyhounds

2026 is it? Well I suppose you can come in, but I'm watching you, understand?

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

The witch trials of 1612 still cast a long shadow.

it’s 1910 england. you’re exhausted and you’ve just laid down for bed, but the sound of melodic banging on the roof keeps you awake. the chimney sweeps are singing and dancing for that fucking nanny again. you want to die.

Not sure my new colleagues entirely know what to make of me. The phrase 'Sorry about dropping a £5.8m cowpat on your head' probably isn't helping.

Hello Bluesky! One more rainbow come to join the e-firmament. It seems quite bright here so far.
