Pick me! Pick me!

reskeet this if you’re a trans woman who has never been on 4chan or kiwifarms. Just trying to see something

When all is said and done, let it be remembered that the ones that fought against the trans community hardest were a bunch of warmongering, sex trafficking, racist pedophiles.

Jesse Singal: spends an entire decade trying to uncover a massive wave of desisters & detransitioners that never materialized also Jesse Singal: "trans people are the real conspiracy theorists!"

So @plaidcymru.bsky.social have launched their manifesto and I have opinions about what they say about trans issues, and how they've said it. I know the manager of their Bluesky account doesn't give a stuff because the constantly ignore me, but here you go...

This video does an amazing job at discussing why the British trans community is so frustrated and hostile to politicians right now. If you're one of the Labour MPs on here wondering why your mentions are always so filled with angry trans people, maybe give it a watch?

Your government is helping kill trans people. People are angry about that.

I am asking @plaidcymru.bsky.social (who are suspiciously silent on trans issues in the run up to the Senedd elections) to condemn this abuse (conversion therapy) of trans children and teenagers, and to pledge that the Welsh NHS will not follow suit while they are in charge of it.

Trans women are biological women. Trans men are biological men. Please stop using the phrase “biological” to distinguish cis from trans people. Cis does just fine and you’re also revealing your own ignorance of how biology works, as well as underlying inherent transphobia, even if unintentionally.

We deserve better from our community’s news outlets, and others provide vital coverage while respecting queer journalists, operating ethically and speaking truth to power. We are removing @pinknews.bsky.social from our press lists and will no longer provide direct comment to them.

“A cis teenage girl lying about being on her period to avoid a sex act she’s uncomfortable with would arouse sympathy. When a trans girl does the same, it’s treated as a serious crime.”

Okay, that's enough visibility for me for today.

My vote will go to a party that unabashedly says that it will support trans people and protect them from anti-trans UK policies in devolved areas. At the moment, you are not that party. You are the party that puts something about LGBTQ+ on page 73 of the manifesto in small writing...

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

Transphobia cooks your brain. You spend years screaming "everyone fits neatly into two sexes!" and then reality hands you Khelif or Caster Semenya and you can't adjust. You can't say "this is more complicated than I thought." You just call her a man, because the framework demands it. Fundamentalism.

it's wild how much unscientific terms have permeated our media and politics. there's no such thing as 'cross-sex hormones'. there's no such thing as 'gender ideology'. there's no such thing as 'sex-based rights'. yet we hear them multiple times daily from the press and politicians.

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

Every penny she gets from you she puts towards Lawfare: with one purpose - eradicating trans people in the UK from all aspects of social and community life, and removing their legal protection Lawfare is how the rich 'remove' things they don't like, whilst keeping their hands 'clean'

That's not how the Senedd's proportional representation works. You could instead vote for a party who might hold Plaid to account on issues they choose to remain silent on. For me that would be trans rights - pushing back on discriminatory policies in devolved areas like education and health.

🚨DIGNITY AND RESPECT KLAXON🚨 How dare you end a communication about excluding trans women and girls with “our commitment to inclusion“.

Just feels like every material representation of masculinity for 12 year old boys, all crammed into a tiny digital space that will fit your screen. So farcical that I don't know how anyone working on or watching this production doesn't feel like their intelligence is being insulted.

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy. Proud to expose this stuff ✊ youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

I don’t think people realize how much anti trans shit is literally just “I find these people disgusting” and they can’t just pass laws on that so they have to make shit up like “trans people are hurting kids” “trans people’s healthcare is hurting kids” “trans people using the bathroom is perverted”

Trans folks desperately trying to warn everyone that the so-called gender critical movement was coming for reproductive rights for years, I'd been detailing links between them and US anti-abortion groups only for it to be ignored and it burned me out, but look, it's exactly what we all warned about:

I almost won 181 million pounds last week. Almost doesn't count for shit.

In half a decade, Labour have abandoned all but one pledge the two seniormost figures in the party have made by the LGBTQ community, and failed on the remaining easy one - to abolish conversion therapy - because they can't figure out a way to do it that doesn't show support for trans people.

Why, after years of scrutiny, isn’t there any evidence that large numbers of children were given irreversible treatments without assessment? “The journals are corrupt! And the doctors are corrupt! And the debate was suppressed! And the data is coming out any time now!” Like listen to yourselves

He's a Christian Concern crank who is able to fool cis people with his language because so many cis people are ignorant. Trans people despise him. Those trans kids he met, they despise him. They cried in front of him and he took their medication away. He has covered up rising suicide rates.

See, your problem here is that you spoke to Wes Streeting about it and not the actual experts who all say the opposite of what you think is 'the evidence'. The Cass Report is a global embarrassment. The ignorance here is gobsmacking from someone who claims 'concern'.

Honestly, seeing that smug git's face come up on the big screen the first time really annoyed me. If he has changed his mind, it's only because it now somehow affects him or someone close to him. He didn't just support Rowling, he tried to tell us to shut up and stop criticising her. Nuts to him.

There’s a huge difference between being present when someone is speaking and actually listening to them, I can count on one hand the number of Labour MPs who actually listen to trans people - Wes isn’t one of them

If my side was renowned for embarrassingly sparse and cursed discos I wouldn’t go to a huge packed out party for the other side in an attempt to make fun of them, but that’s just me

One thing we absolutely MUST demand from the Green and Liberal Democrat parties is trans-led inquiries. No more cis people checking the work of cis people. Trans people need to be empowered to directly punish our oppressors.

I suppose it's too much to ask that @plaidcymru.bsky.social commit to protect us from these attacks on our health care here in Wales, isn't it? Or even for them to make any kind of statement at all on the subject...

what do you do when your desired outcome (banning gender-affirming care) goes against the medical consensus? easy: simply exclude 97% of the relevant medical studies from your review...

If you can get someone to admit that they believe trans women have no place in sport then they are admitting that they don't see trans women as women. It's really that simple.

NO ONE tells you you're trans. They tell you the opposite, in fact. Even now, people tell me I should quit HRT and just crossdress if it makes me happy

i just feel like people should be more embaressed about falling for the 'we told the computer to type out "i'm alive" and it did. oh my god!' this type of software is as old as computers

No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!

the facts are that transition care is safe, effective, and statistically the single most successful medical intervention we have ever invented. almost no regret, not many complications, and a massive rise in QOL for almost all patients. it's more successful than heart surgery by magnitudes.

Jesse Singal is a lying hack and needs to be dropped from publication

It is 1954, gender-affirming care is criticised as “experimental” It is 1981, gender-affirming care is criticised as “experimental” It is 2002, gender-affirming care is criticised as “experimental” It is 2017, gender-affirming care is criticised as “experimental” It is 2026, gender-affirming ca

One of the most toxic ideas is so-called ‘Gender Critical Ideology’. This false conspiracy theory believes that trans ppl are not real & should not have human rights*. To get an idea of how extreme this is, read the link in Lee’s post & replace the word trans with Jew. It’s disturbing.

In my personal experience the picture painted by the responses so far is accurate and a mere fraction of the people impacted. An already bad situation and hostile environment was made much worse by Cass. I believe her work is so fraudulent and harmful she should be struck off and prosecuted.

Hypothesis: all James Dyson's are bad people.

Labour said they'd ban conversion therapy. Then went on to introduce a new Section 28 for trans kids in schools. Which is conversion therapy by any other name. This thread 👇🏻 explains the origins of this abhorrent practice. Everyone should read it.
