New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

The counterprotest ends at Old Steine, where some protesters will continue onto the Clocktower for a protest at 12:00 in support of Palestine. For those in Brighton this weekend, please stay safe; there is a large police presence and an even larger TERF presence out on the streets. 📍 IKEA Brighton

Some of the placards used by the counterprotesters.

Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets. This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively. They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.

Good morning from Brighton, where we will be reporting on the counterprotest against the FiLiA conference 2025.

Americans: we need guns just in case of government tyranny Government tyranny: *kicking in the door like the kool-aid man but not fun because they're kidnapping people and disappearing families* Americans: we'll be so ready for that tyranny, let me tell you.

When writing alt text for an image of text, it's not enough to just write "screen shot of text from article." Sighted users get to know what is in that screen shot, so why don't blind users deserve the same? The alt text should include all the actual text in the image.

The only explicit purpose of all Gen ai is to steal labor/deny wages Thats it in its entirety. They don't want to pay for someone to write, draw, voice act etc (worse still in the cases of falsification of a person they also want a puppet that can't say no)

Who the fuck would pull this? What group EXACTLY was getting offended by having someone killing Klan members? NOW more than ever is the time for folks to be playing these sorts of themes in games

This is something most trans people have known for a while. But it's good to have some concrete statistics about it to help counter the idiots who seem think kids can just get a prescription for HRT from a GP and pick it up at Boots the same day.

Current NHS Policy requires at least 2 appointments just to diagnose gender dysphoria. Unfortunately clinics aren't very good at recording the gap between 1st and 2nd appointments, but anecdotally it's not speedy. Wait a third of your life for one appointment, but ya need at least two

Just wait 200 years. It's important that you dont rush being trans /s www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

This is one of the first things I mention when I talk to anyone about transition. Anyone who thinks people are being rushed through and pushed into decisions they might later regret is absolutely incorrect. Even going privately was a whole, long ordeal. Not to mention incredibly expensive.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

I don't like acknowledging this asshole at all, but I do believe these sort of rage bait content creators are detrimental to the medium of games, they take up so much of the space and dominate conversations with this behaviour. And they just move on to the next person they're going victimize.

Bibi's compression socks work better for me than the "proper" medical ones I bought at the local store. AND they're cute as hell! So if you or anyone you know needs some part of their body squished for some reason, go check out Bibi's shop!

I need those pins😍😍

Regardless, caring about how your actions affect other people and making choices in line with that is about your values. So, no, I don't think people developed "empathy burnout" as a result of 2020. I think people, especially in 2021 going forward, got permission to stop caring.

The entire concept of "empathy burnout" is why I think the way people talk about empathy is bullshit. It's a model where people are allowed to opt out of doing the right thing because they don't feel the right things. It's a model where everything is about vibes, not values.

Someone I just retweeted contextualize this And these people are f experiencing “compassion fatigue” Their just self centered and want to adjust the concept of compassion to allow them to be terrible

and like plenty of the stories reporting this have a "but growth slows" line appended to the news: that's there because the coal guys want it there

you're already seeing & will see more stories about how various attempts at reducing energy use "aren't working," etc -- those are propaganda. this is fantastic

From Christian Concern and Sex Matters to the LGB Alliance, UK anti-Trans+ groups share ideological and strategic links with US organisations like ADF and the Heritage Foundation What’s unfolding is a coordinated global effort to erode individual freedom, crush liberation, and control our bodies

Seeing and hearing @zackpolanski.bsky.social and other Green members speak has finally given me a push in this direction... First time ever signing up for a political party.

A major new peer-reviewed Australian report warns that the UK’s Cass Review is fundamentally ill-suited to guide care for trans young people — and should not be adopted as a benchmark in Australia www.starobserver.com.au/news/new-rep...

Well Australia is seeing the Cass Review for what it is - a political sham! www.mja.com.au/journal/2025...

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

Remember this whenever you see MPs complain about people not uploading their IDs Consider that putting all data into one centralised bucket is, y'know, a bad idea

Every second we don't have vastly improved trans health care is a deliberate choice

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK. Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right. www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

A great article from @wearequeeraf.com that is absolutely worth a read and a share! www.wearequeeraf.com/how-many-mor...

Eeeey, they put Kyra and Mersiel from #pathfinder in the #starfinder GM Core in sci-fi gear. Hell yeah. Also gay [respectful]

Plus a number of truly great features that actually do push the site to be less toxic, like how people can self-moderate quotes and replies by blocking people and thus disconnecting their posts, the lists and labelers, etc. It's a good site! Shame about the people who run it.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.
