Since the 'ceasefire': - Israel has killed at least nine Palestinians in Gaza. - Israel has notified the UN that it will again impose aid restrictions if Hamas does not locate and hand over the bodies of dead captives. - The majority of Palestinian territory remains under Israeli occupation.

The Labour Government is pursuing a policy of sabotage - they don't have to abolish trans-friendly legislation, they just have to pack the relevant bodies with anti-trans obstructionists so that the legislation becomes utterly meaningless. Expect more of this.

As a litter picker I'd like to point out that the problem of litter is worst in areas that have low income, high population turnover (ie nobody can afford to settle down) and high density. The solution is wealth redistribution, ending landlordism, and more funding, not shaming campaigns and racism.

One of the things I'm learning from writing a biography of Roberta Cowell is that telling life stories from a trans perspective sometimes means greatly reducing the emphasis on the subject's transness, letting it be just one part of a whole. Cowell was first of all a racer, engineer, and aviator.

My next book Deviants and Trailblazers: A History of Trans Activism in Britain is in the @plutopress.bsky.social Spring/Summer 2026 catalogue (for a May '26 release)! This book is the first joined-up history of trans activism in the UK all the ways from the 40s to the present.

Historically, there is an almost direct negative correlation between the reach of Govt ID systems and trans people's rights. Looser systems give fewer opportunities to oppress. You know, on top of all the other obvious reasons that this is a horrifying idea. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Roberta Cowell explaining how fellow prisoners of war passed the time during WW2. They would shout this at a guard tower and then run away.

We're not going to do anything to stop the genocide, but we recognise the people who are being targeted. That just makes our inaction even more reprehensible...

Starmer calling for unity and to 'reject hate' right now is a microcosm of why liberalism is failing to comprehend the current moment. The message is fine, but the problem that needs solving is the ongoing genocide and the global slide into autocratic ethno-nationalism, not abstract 'hate'.

In 1971 a man was fined £1 for making a rude gesture at a Salvation Army band at an anti-porn rally. Thank you for your attention.

Article 8 is what trans campaigners used to get the Gender Recognition Act through the Goodwin and "I" cases in 2002, when the ECHR ruled that forcing trans people to reveal their sex assigned at birth violates their privacy. 'Updating it for the modern age' just means reducing people's rights.

I'm searching for trans motor racing drivers/riders in history! If you come across any, please do share, especially racers from outside the UK and North America. I currently know of Roberta Cowell, Michelle Duff, Charlie Martin, Deborah Stokes, Sophie Rebecca, Jerri Bean, and Terri O'Connell.

Very happy to say that my chapter on the theory and history of UK trans activism since the 1970s is now available through Bloomsbury as an open access article. It's part of a wonderful new volume edited by @krheyam.bsky.social and Jon Ward. www.bloomsburycollections.com/monograph-de...

It's✨publication day✨! You can order a copy, or get the open access ebook, at www.bloomsbury.com/uk/new-and-d.... And I've got 5 spare hardback copies to give away to anyone who runs a book-sharing scheme or would struggle to access the ebook - hmu if that's you 🏳️‍⚧️📚

The Supreme Court ruling and the draft EHRC Statutory Code has left trans people in the UK feeling scared and confused. To help you navigate this nightmare, we've created a Know Your Rights resource. Find it at transactual.org.uk/know-your-rights #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary #Queer #TransAlly

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

So proud of the incredible list of contributors, at the cutting edge of decolonial work on gender in the arts & humanities, that Jon and I have managed to pull together!

My analysis of what the Supreme Court ruling means: This ruling has a strong feeling of Corbett v. Corbett about it - that's the 1970 case in which the judge ruled that there is no such thing as a "change of sex" in law, with terrible consequences for trans rights. Like in Corbett, the ...

This Trans Day of Visibility, with trans liberty under threat from multiple angles and the future looking bleak, it's worth thinking about those who in prior decades took huge risks by making themselves visible, and who in the process made advancement possible. Here's two stories on visibility.

One of the most telling things an anti-trans author has ever written was when Helen Joyce, supposedly a feminist, complained that trans activists want "a total rewrite of societal rules". I'm sure she thought this was a stinger when she wrote it, but it's not a bad summary of what we want...

My next book, a history of trans activism from 1944 to 2023, is coming along nicely! Just finished a new epilogue covering the huge rightward shift in the public conversation on trans issues over the last few years. It's a bit depressing, but UK trans people have overcome similar challenges before.

Look at that beautiful cover! I'm really pleased to have a chapter in this upcoming volume (Bloomsbury, 10 Jul 2025) edited by Kit Heyam (@krheyam.bsky.social) and Jon Ward. My chapter cover the history of recognition-based trans activism in the UK since the 70s. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/new-and-d...

I keep trying to console myself by thinking that this Labour govt is marginally better than the Conservatives under Sunak, but I'm genuinely not sure anymore. This is competent malignance and professional misanthropy. At least the Tories were incompetent.

Absolutely buzzing for this collection to be in the world soon! It's both all the things Jon & I needed to say about doing decolonial work on gender nonconformity right now, & a snapshot of some of the people who are doing that work most brilliantly. I'm so excited & so honoured to have all of them.

Have trans people really 'always been here', and does it even matter? In this article I talk about the Trans+ History Week Workbook and the question of trans historicity in the distant past. rebeccajanemorgan.medium.com/have-trans-p...

I wrote an article on America's growing religious influence in Greenland and its implications for Trump's geopolitical ambitions. rebeccajanemorgan.medium.com/trump-greenl...

🎄Happy Christmas, friends! God became flesh and dwelt among us - not to build up treasure in palaces, but to seek out the forgotten; those for whom the word "us" has no meaning. In the coming year, let's be sensitive to those dark places where each of us can be that "us".

The headline in today's Sermitsiaq (Greenlandic newspaper) - "Reacting to Trump's statement: Greenland is not a commodity - but is open to dialogue". www.sermitsiaq.ag/samfund/reag...

Norway, Iceland, and the US have all historically expressed a desire to take over control of Greenland, but Greenlanders themselves have consistently voted for greater self-governance through referenda - 70% in 1979 and 76% in 2008.

Trump's obsession with buying/annexing Greenland is silly, but I always thought this image from 2019 was a banger.

The US has had a military base in Greenland since 1943 and Denmark is in NATO, so the only "control" left to take is control over Greenland's uranium and other mineral deposits + freedom to station nuclear warheads on the island (currently banned by Denmark).

In 1979 the Self-Help Association for Transsexuals (SHAFT) was founded. Co-founder Judy Cousins said of the unfortunate abbreviation: ‘Yes, I’m perfectly well aware of the vulgar possibilities in the name … I intended those initials to stand for a shaft of light in a dark world. And they still do.’
