Let's go lesbians! Here's everything you need to know about #LesbianVisibilityWeek #LVW25

It's #LesbianVisibilityWeek. The Supreme Court doesn't get to define who I am, what I can do with my body or who I can love. Lesbianism is liberation & there is no liberation without trans women. British courts ≠ justice. Trans women are women, trans lesbians are lesbians. #UppaQueers #LVW25

We've shared this before, but very much worth a reshare this Lesbian Visibility week: "Life as a Trans and Cis Couple: YES, We’re Still Lesbians!" connectingrainbows.org/life-as-a-tr... #LVW25 #Trans #Transgender #Nonbinary

We're celebrating Lesbian Visibility Week! 🏳️‍🌈 LVW is a week to empower and support the lesbian community. This week, we celebrate the lives and accomplishments of the lesbian community ❤️ #LVW25 www.lesbianvisibilityweek.com

An Open Letter to the UK Games Industry: Standing with our Trans Colleagues www.outmaking.games/open-letter-...

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Featuring games from: @deconstructeam.bsky.social @maddymakesgames.com and many others 🏳️‍⚧️ checkpointgaming.net/features/202...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ Today we honour and celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people and take time to highlight the unfair poverty, discrimination and violence the community faces compared to cis people. To the trans community, we see you and we love you. #TDOV2025

The 31st will be #transdayofvisibility and I want to do something to help the organization that's been so good to me since before I came out: @transgamedev.bsky.social.
