Govt compromise on a trans bathroom ban has been leaked. Trans women will be able to continue using women's bathrooms, but they will have to wear their special Govt issued ID pins at all times.

"Is it in dreams or waking that the world's turned upside down?"

Transphobic US State Senator introducing a bill to remove gender affirming care: "And this document proves the duplicitous nature of the gender extremists and their innate criminal and murderous tendencies!..... *quotes the lyrics to 'Sovay'*"

Somewhere, on UK supermarket shelves, there must be a laundry detergent called "Scent Of Vinted" I've still not been able to find it, but every seller I've bought from has. I'm afraid I won't be able to sell on there or get good feedback if I don't use it too. 😏

I do enjoy a warm and windy day* *(unless I'm wearing lip gloss)

GNC slay queen for May Queen

Hail! Hail! The first of May! youtu.be/VQbv4IxoHr8?...

This is what the start of segregation looks like. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

If I hear the words "Dignity" or "respect" out of a politicians mouth again when talking about trans people I swear I'm going to lose it. Can they not hear themselves? Are they so tin-eared?

What's the prime ministers name again? Sir Trans Harmer isn't it?

Would I ever vote Labour again? Much like the prime minister I decline to comment on hypotheticals.

"Dignity and respect" is 2025 UK's "thoughts and prayers"; in both cases neither are present or happening.

Still rather nonplussed that the suggestion of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission head for what trans people should do is to campaign for our own segregation and apartheid.

Public service announcement: If you're on estrogen and you take a multivitamin or if you take biotin to make your hair and nails healthier, it's ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that you stop all of that stuff for at least 3, and preferably 4, days before you get your blood levels checked.

Having reread the FWS ruling, it is clear that at law there is no operative mechanism to prove sex in the UK now: rejserin.medium.com/certified-se...

Stay safe if you're taking part in the UK protests this weekend and if this isn't seen at all of them then what are we even doing with our lives? Come to think of it this should be the iconic rallying cry for all trans amab folks right now.

USA: hey, look at all the damage that we can do to trans rights! UK: Hold my beer

*staggers unexpectedly to the side and manages to sit* I felt a grave disturbance, as if a thousand trans voices who had transitioned and then pulled the ladder up after them suddenly declared they wanted to be part of the community again.

So the Sisyphean boulder rolls down the hill. Its not hit bottom again yet, but each roll is undoing decades of progress for rights. It'll stop rolling & we'll start rolling it uphill again, bit by bit. Knowing that it'll likely never reach the same heights again in my lifetime is devastating.

People of terf island! Refuse to be limited by having now hit rock bottom! With some extra effort you could probably dig a basement too!

It's very important on this Ides of March that you don't get mad. Please consider exploring other options. 😇

Happy "Yes there is, it's in November" copypaste day to all women on social media today.

A good question for today. And one to keep on asking beyond that.

Trans woman experiences unexpected moment of self-confidence: politicians have hissy fit about how this could have happened.

Why is strength so often associated with cruelty?

#Imbolc today and snowdrops are flowering.

TFW you find out that the local Labour Party are a "listed service" at your local pride event. Perhaps I should attend so I can ask them which toilets I'm allowed to use by their current policies. Do many pride events fail to be inclusive? This one bloody does.

I changed my phone recently but never got around to logging in to my social media accounts on the new phone. Kept checking them on my old phone at home, once or twice a day. Best accidental decision I ever made. Quietly deleted apps from new phone, will stick with this method for a while.

Nobody takes my idea for a Shakespeare themed massage therapists seriously; aye, there's the rub.

Me writing this post

It's the last day of the general election campaign! Finally, we can stop hearing a tory government spouting rubbish about trans people....and hear a Labour government spouting rubbish about trans people instead.

"Are you a boy or a girl?"

Confirmation this week that the invisible man does exist; all trans men are obviously invisible to policy makers in Westminster and Whitehall. Along with the equally invisible enbys I implore both groups to use their superpowers for good and not evil! Mostly.

Obviously I'd want to vote next week, it's just I'm going through this 2 year "cooling off period" first to see if I really want to vote before I'm given my ballot paper.

What's your sign?

"I think the framing of it really made it feel as though it was trying to create fear around gender-affirming care,"

This thread though.

I can't help feeling that this cosmetics brand would be of interest to the BlueSky trans community

Tomorrow is Trans Day of Visibility. Take this opportunity to encourage trans storytelling and fill your shelves and e-readers with trans books, especially if you consider yourself an ally. #TDoV

SUV is just an acronym for socially unacceptable vehicle, right?

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week we’re discussing death by a thousand cuts with TRANS MICROAGGRESSIONS. Let's talk about what they are and why they're awful, including examples of the most common ones! Cis people, please read and share! We need your help! docs.google.com/document/d/e...

You may not actually be a transphobe. You might even think you're an ally. But if you post in glowing terms about someone who is a blatant transphobe then I'm not going to ask about that, I'm just going to assume that you are too. And if you sell things I'm not going to buy your stuff.

I was cursed by Gandalf at an early age.

There's comes a point during any cold infection where you wonder how much mucus can a body make?? So you look it up....and are like, wow body, respect to you. Shit, I better hydrate a LOT.

so much this. 6+ years into transition and I can fervently say that being aware is important but being hyperaware of every awful incident is just self-harm. when we magnify every ounce of hate directed towards us we do their work for them and stoke the fears within our own community.

The Lotus I cared about in my youth versus the Lotus I care about now.

It's been a wonderful night online for cis people explaining how trans people feel. Hmmm. Imma just repost this.

All of the trans folk I follow are horrified by that Taylor Lorenz interview and all of the cis journalists I follow are applauding it and if I was a cis journalist I might just sit with that fact for a minute

Priscilla makes amazing music, just a glorious listen!
