we need to stop this idea that feminizing hrt is “dangerous” i genuinely believe that some (maybe even the majority) of girlies that say they can’t be on feminizing hormones got an awful doctor that doesn’t know what they were talking about and assumed the “safer” option was not not transition 😭

So YouTube is now advertising perpetual motion devices at me now. I've seen it all.

stonewall pulling back from fighting for trans rights isn’t looking like the best tactical decision for gay rights in this country you know, like we all told them

there are many things we can do to make the EqA better and more suited to it's purpose. Absolutely. But not a single fucking one of them will matter if we don't fix the fact that our judiciary are all old as fuck, often bigoted, and completely out of touch with society at large.

women can do anything including apparently being the ones to help newcomers enough to know how to switch to linux

"By attacking trans rights women erode their own rights. Their own rights to bodily autonomy, to have abortions, to contraception, to dress masculine ect. All of which the Women’s Liberation Movement of the late 1960s fought hard to win." open.substack.com/pub/sophiemo...

All marginalized communities need to stand together these days. Intersectionality is going to be crucial to our collective survival. Fuck, I’ve had a lot of challenges, but I’m still fucking WHITE, and I’ll never fully understand what people of color go through. We all need empathy and support.

Eventually we need some “normal folk” to say to the commentariat “We, women just living our lives, with all that entails, are sick of this bigotry and even more sick of the bigots. Please stop platforming them” Pending that, it’s just bigots, bigoted money and bigots with jobs as journalists

It's really striking, how zero fucks about balance are given by the British media when comes to possibly letting a single trans person discuss how shit our lives are now

If you ever find yourself wondering how things like the Epstein story happened, consider the mid-level newspaper editor who admitted in a public judicial inquiry that he destroyed a woman’s life and drove her to suicide to try and impress Piers Morgan.

Cis journos who fancy themselves our allies - one of the best things you could do right now is push some human interest stories about trans people like this into the mainstream.

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

Someone should make film about all the closed down WI groups

It was always so jarring to have her presented to us as some kind of feminist when we could all see a mile off that she was the kind of woman who would trample over 50 amazing women to get the attention of one boring man. I’ve always been a hater and her trajectory makes perfect narrative sense

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

These are the real aims & outcomes of 'gender critical' ideology. All women are less safe because of anti trans bigotry.

So the main problem with language like “male-to-female” is I was never a fucking male, thank you.

For the last few days, our lift has been out of order because it made a very scary noise. We are pleased to report that we are once again fully flat access to all galleries with a lift in full working order. It turned out, the lift needed lube. The moral of the story is lube is IMPORTANT.

every day lately I feel like I didn’t make the British aristrocracy—as depicted in The Sisters of Dorley—disgusting enough

'reform want to treat you the same way we treat trans people!' — labour

It's really quite amazing how the idea that I'm not just a woman falls apart when speaking for five minutes with any other women who hasn't being consumed by anti-trans hate.

I have never once been harassed, threatened, or assaulted by a trans person. Cis men are the culprits of these crimes.

jk rowling is one bottle of gin away from saying that only white people can be women

I can't believe I have to get this meme out again (I lied, I can get this meme out multiple times a day)

We know from personal experience that many trans-feminine people have difficulty in finding their voice and speaking with confidence; and that Voice Therapy is often prohibitively expensive - so we made Voice Club: subsidised online community-led voice coaching, from just £5/group or £20/1-2-1 1/2

liberal walking into the car dealership: i want the second shittiest car you have. i will buy it for literally any price

chican3ry.medium.com/a-rough-and-... If you need someone who isn't trans to confirm this, the 20thC has decades of academic research papers with psychiatrists and therapists bemoaning that trans people simply won't stop being trans. Not electric shocks, psychotherapeutic gaslighting, even Exorcism.

The UK is not run by the fucking "adults in the room" it's operated by a regime of abusers and sadists and cranks who prioritise ideology and cruelty and a harshly punitive, conformist worldview over the literal functioning of their rotten, inbred, class-obsessed nonce-worshipping society.

'feminist( not the fun kind )' in a bio always means 3 things. 1: transphobic conspiracy theorist. 2: that person has never read a single feminist text in their lives. 3: they have a stereotypical view of feminists that used to be the preserve of anti-feminist cis men.

Oh look, they realized they could get away with it for trans people and now they've moved onto ADHD. If this gets transposed to Ireland I'm fucked.

"It's not personal, it's just politics" EVERYTHING is personal when you're a person. EVERYTHING is politics when you're referring to rights, economics, education, work, free time, funding, health, entertainment, etc etc etc

It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people. They’re failing to do that. Trans people deserve safety and dignity. www.attitude.co.uk/news/zack-po...

terfs: "stop being so aggressive, you need to be polite and meek like a real woman. we are radical feminists btw"

Also note the way that the burden is always, always placed upon the left; the right must be catered to, the center must be appealed to, the left? Suck it up, accept whatever is offered, perform the labor of care and capitulation and compromise. A familiar dynamic.

One political thing that I’m so fucking sick of seeing are “blue no matter who” democrats telling marginalized groups that if we don’t vote for their candidate, no matter who it is, that we will be responsible for the end of democracy lol. If we’re so important, maybe earn our vote?

life is too hard, too heartbreaking, too cruel, not to have radical compassion and humanity for people. life is too vulnerable and too frequently forsaken to not cherish and have unflagging belief in life.

Seeing an English TERF celebrate a doctor being run out of town for being trans, and thinking about that post saying that maybe the rest of the world is fine in Children of Men while Britain just decided to be like that.

When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.

Forcefemming a Roomba by putting estrogen pills on the floor

I have to say though, labour being so obviously and openly afraid of the greens as an opponent really puts to death the lie that voting green is a wasted vote because third party. Because labour certainly doesn't think it's a wasted vote.

We're now encouraging more women to do the same, and contribute their own letters of love to the trans community - you can find out more in our blog or write your own letter here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Every single word of this is true.👇

Trans rights and women's rights are the same. Fighting for body autonomy and equality. Both are being repressed by misogyny.

It's devastating to me how much public money is being wasted in the British legal system purely on maintaining maximally destructive stances on human rights in service to the political ideology of the regime.

Happy Valentine’s Day. If you don’t love yourself, start today.

Not attacking marginalised and vulnerable communities is not a purity test. It’s a moral test. And you’ve failed it.
