Wdym you can always tell when I've authored a post on WTT?

🆕 The Darlington Nurses were not harassed by a trans colleague but a court rules trans women in single-sex spaces "violates dignity" It goes against two rulings that say otherwise 🤔 Understand what this means for Trans+ rights in tomorrow's QueerAF newsletter 📩 www.wearequeeraf.com/subscribe/

Still not seen the full judgment, but notably the ET dismissed the harassment claim against Rose Henderson, the trans woman in the Darlington Nurses case. Yet another trans woman who has been publicly demonised after doing nothing wrong.

@ashleigh.whatthetrans.com asked me to do something silly, and of course I obliged 😇 So if you dodge the kings speech like I do here's your alternative lmao

There's nothing quite like a silly little side project to remind you why you do the things you do 🥲

5/ What do the experts say? “At its heart, it maintains and reinforces a system built on clinical control of and power over trans communities,” Dr Horton tells QueerAF. “There is no effort to improve accountability. No recognition of institutional transphobia. No recognition of clinical violence”

The Levy Review: A scathing audit of NHS Trans+ healthcare that isn’t radical enough to fix the problems. @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com take a first look at the long-awaited review into adult gender services in the UK 🧵 Reporting by @vic-parsons.bsky.social

It is a sign of how fundamentally abused and traumatised trans communities are in the UK that many folks are responding to Levy with relief and cautious welcome. It could have been a lot worse. But it fundamentally fails to deliver meaningful improvements to trans healthcare. 1/4

We're on it 🫡

Saw bad spin, made a meme about it lol

Did you know a study found prostate tissue can develop in some trans men when on HRT? Cus I didn't! This ep is particularly cool because I got a chance to speak with Zine maker Dion Nolan about his Zine "Sex with Trans Men" a topic not spoken about enough! Go learn!

PHAHAHAA They printed the quiet part out loud and she started backpedaling like roadrunner

My latest article is out, a needed pause from the protesting before driving back in. Check it out!

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Tragedies & Tribunals In this episode: Several difficult stories coming out of the US The media circus that is Sandie Peggies tribunal And an interview with @s3xtheorywithdee.bsky.social And more

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care. Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

I hope you, too will find visibility and community - whether past or present in the intersectional icons of queer history 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/how-learning-about-disabled-trans-figures-from-history-made-me-feel-less-alone/

Yes! My wife and I have talked about this extensively. Who the fuck started the whole “validation” thing? I don’t need cis people’s validation. I need their solidarity. Like, okay, you’ve told me you see me as a person. Cool. Treat me like one.

Very heartening to cover this first hand and meet some familiar faces from the vigil in November, Trans Kids Deserve Better and they won't give up until they've got it

Trans Safety Network have recieved leaks from a user of Bayswater Support Group's forums. Because of the unrepentant support for abusive conversion practices targetting trans children, we have decided to publish these. transsafety.network/posts/bayswa...

Hate leads to burnout, confusion, anxiety and frustration. Love is restorative. Seek justice because you love your neighbor, not because you hate your enemy. This is the key to organizing without falling into despair.

How is anyone supposed to believe that Labour is going to ban conversion therapy if the health secretary is sympathising with conversion therapy groups that advocate child abuse? Absolutely sick. This should be a career ending scandal

I’ll state it plainly. This reveals Wes Streeting is personally sympathetic to child abusers. Because let’s be clear, conversion practice is abuse. This is our Health Secretary. He’s not fit to hold the position. www.wearequeeraf.com/revealed-str...

Wes Streeting has been recorded meeting and expressing sympathy for conversion therapists. Wes Streeting should resign. www.wearequeeraf.com/revealed-str...

The EHRC has made 200 changes to it's Human Rights Tracker. But didn't leave a changelog to tell you exactly *what* has changed. Good luck. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

Please contact both your local MP and Bridget Phillipson (Secretary of State for Education) about this move to eradicate any mention of trans people from PSHE education. Highlight the similarities with section 28 and what Trump is doing in the US.

Doctors (as they currently exist) are not our friends. The medical establishment's relationship to us has always been one of gatekeeping and violence. We do not need to hand them more power. Please look at the lives of disabled people to see just how violent medicine can be.

Had the honour of doing this last year and it was awesome. I can't wait to see what stories we see this year!

It's a relief to finally be out of that pit, one less circle of hell to deal with at least...

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...
