Like, I genuinely feel like I’m going mad. Brianna Ghey wasn’t killed by social media. She was saved by social media, where she was able to find community with other young trans people. She was able to make online friends with people like herself. It was those offline who murdered her.

This Suffragettes Good - Palestine Action bad, from the Palestine Action decision is... problematic. The National Archives Suffragettes site (link follows) shows they used codes, false names, sometimes violence against people and property. Don't we deserve better than this ahistorical silliness?

The only conviction Keir Starmer and indeed his cabinet and senior Labour figures around him is to restrict personal liberty. It’s the one consistent through line in absolutely everything they do.

Do you ever think about that Japanese WW2 soldier who got lost in the Philippines for 30 years

ilu fat queer people !!!!!!!

I am convinced STOP! THAT! TRAIN! partially exists to make people forget the time RuPaul tried to make a pro-trans post but accidentally googled "trains flag" instead of "trans flag"

You know what,

kinda cool how the only thing i needed to do to start actually being happy in life is to consistently hang out with cool trans women irl. it makes everything feel so normal.

To be clear: I don’t see antisemitism nearly as much on the left as I do on the right. But that makes seeing it even more jarring. We can believe in a free Palestine without being bigots. That’s actually very fucking easy!

Something I’m gonna need other leftists to look out for and call out is when people use “Zionist” as code for “Jew” Because I’m seeing some vicious, gleeful antisemitism passed off as praxis and buddy it sucks shit

Trans people deserve to live long enough to really appreciate their bone density problems, which for the true aficionado takes decades. Trans people deserve to be eighty six years old and panicking about where they put their glasses until a nearby younger relative says “they’re on your head, granny”

What if I thirstposted? 🤔

Stonewall invited the most transphobic government minister to their Pride month event in parliament. This is unacceptable. Stonewall should not be permitted to take part in any Prides.

People use "lipstick on a pig" as an insult as if Miss Piggy isn't God's cuntiest solider

And then there's lots of being in the right club with the right people, drinking and getting high together, egging each other on, reaffirming to each other that it's right and correct and logical to hate trans people, because how fucking dare they, the freaks.

There's a lot I can't comfortable say in public because of the way UK libel law works - but it's a LOT. There's a lot of interpersonal bullshit mixed in to the bigotry, and a real sense of 'how dare you think you belong in our club?!'

Something for American commentators to bear in mind: UK media and political environments are SMALL. Every major transphobe in play right now has personal beef with trans people they didn't want to respect as colleagues, whether that was in the NUS or at the New Statesman. UK cis commentators too.

They would make me a criminal for living my life as i have my entire adulthood and time in this country, for daring to be trans

A major component of the EHRC expecting “trans people to simply follow The Rules” is that it explicitly positions trans people as illegal transgressors by continuing our lives as we were

As someone who actively trains a fuckload of people to change their voice - just no. This is madness

"Dignity and Respect"

Social media companies can't tell if users are genuine or AI anymore which is why Meta/Facebook/Instagram is spending big cash on congress to pass the Verify ID laws just for you to use your own computer. They want your data so they can sell it and profit. jsis.washington.edu/news/faceboo...

Gender reassignment surgeries for minors should not only be legal; they should be mandatory. Being cis is unseemly and should not be encouraged.

"My son turned out fine" Ma'am, your daughter is watching boygenius interviews for hours to cope with the dysphoria

So when cis people talk about the recent radicalisation of their cis colleagues/friends/family when it comes to trans people - were they really accepting and open-minded before? Or had the sleeping dragon of their bigotry never had cause to be roused?

The British press - endemically and cruelly transphobic - had a new wave of trans authors they were expected to treat as peers rather than expendable subjects.

We are NOT in a backlash because we 'asked for too much' - but part of the backlash is that a lot of people with cultural weight and power considered treating us like equal human beings rather than pitiable/laughable freaks to be 'too much.' They want things back the way they were.

cis "allies" referring to me and my sisters as "biological males" and genuinely thinking they're being woke makes me wanna chew shards of glass

When I read this article a couple of weeks ago, on how the anti-trans backlash in the UK is likely be repeated against other minorities, I thought this example was a little far-fetched. But two weeks is a long time in British bigotry, isn’t it? www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

"The AI generated assets are placeholder and will not exist in the final game"

Yet another example of my least favorite thing game companies are doing now. "Hello, welcome to my press conference regarding the allegations of our using AI. I will explain. We're not using AI. We're just using AI." Dog, you might as well just not say anything.

My hot take is that only Tumblr has figured out how to build a social network with an enduring culture and none of the other social medias are trying to copy it, and that's a mistake that will cost them.
