Pronouns update! They/he instead of any please :) so they/them or he/him or both ✨

A quick reminder during this spell of hot weather in the UK: stay hydrated, use sun cream, take regular binder breaks if you wear one…And most importantly: make the most of the opportunity to give your Blåhaj a wash - they’ll dry quicker and not smell foisty. #trans

Kate Nash takes aim at ‘f**king idiot’ gender-critical feminists in iconic pro-trans song ‘GERM’

If you go down to the woods, today...

To our pansexual and panromantic siblings - we see you. Happy pansexual and panromantic day of visibility. If you're not pansexual or panromantic yourself, you can read more at www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/pans... #Trans #Nonbinary #PanPride #Pansexual #Panromantic #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #Queer

Trans and non-binary people deserve to live with dignity, safety and privacy. You may have seen the infamous trans loo by now and here's why. #thethirdtoilet is an art installation by @transactualuk.bsky.social demanding accountability from policymakers in the wake of the recent ruling.

The chair of the EHRC, suggested that we should push for a separate “third space”. So, we present....The Trans Loo. It's already made a visit to The Supreme Court in London (no, it isn't an AI pic, it's very much a real toilet). Where will it turn up next? Find out more: buff.ly/2RMusFT #Trans

Making history at the @supremecourt.uk . @transactualuk.bsky.social UK installs pioneering third toilet, boosting accessibility where it counts. A small step for facilities, a big leap for inclusion! #Inclusion #TransRights #UKSupremeCourt @BBHLondon

We understand that the EHRC consultation is now open for responses. We’re working on some guidance on how to respond and will have it with you as soon as we can. In the meantime - pause. Take a breath. Do something that brings you joy. And then write to the PM if you haven’t already this week.

jane, you...just wrote an opinion in less than 600 words! Are you feeling alright? jane... jane! Short sharp thing on why Starmer is running out of queer support - and why queer voters should not be voting Labour tomorrow. jane-67706.medium.com/weak-duplici...

Been pretty ill but I'm at Midlands Art Centre to watch Dr Strangelove via National Theatre Live! Big fan of being able to see stuff even when my previous bodily fluids betray me

Celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility in style with the very first issue of Visibility: a Role-Playing Game Magazine created by the trans community! You can purchase it from TransMuted at the link below: www.transmuted.co.uk/product-page...

Ramadhan Kareem everybody! This month a lot of Muslims will be fasting. Some, like me, are medically exempt. So we focus on our religious practice and donate money to feed people 😊 We might disappear to focus on God and our community. But you'll see us in a month for Eid!

Ramadan begins today, a month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual growth for millions around the world, even as many face hardship, conflict, and displacement. Wishing peace, resilience, and hope to those in need, and a blessed Ramadan to all who observe 🙏🏽

Off to see a National Theatre Live screening of The Importance of Being Earnest tonight at Midlands Art Centre :) I love Oscar Wilde and live screenings like this are more accessible to me with my arthritis. Much easier to get to a cinema than a big London theatre!

Happy Valentine's Day to all my fellow queers of colour and faith. Today's just a corporate holiday anyway but I love y'all and thank you for being here 🌈

Our fundraiser gig for the Transfem Electrolysis Project is TOMORROW! Come on down to Mono if you're in or near Glasgow!

myself (along with most trans women in ttrpgs) wouldn't be here without avery's decades of brilliant design, compassionate support, and hard fucking work. now's the time to show your support!!

This is a beautiful tribute.

Tired of leftist theory that degrades sex workers, misunderstands the nature of our work, or ignores us altogether? Hooker Mentality covers hookers' insights into the systems which control us all, revealing why so many of us become radically left-wing after we start selling sex.

You don't have to read the Vulture piece on Gaiman. Not to be able to engage in the discourse. Not to "honor" the experiences of his victims. You, a person without the power to effect meaningful justice against this abuser, do not need to apologize for being unable to do so by traumatizing yourself.

Did you know that Duolingo lets you learn Klingon but not Urdu? The 10th most widely spoken language in the world?

I’m thankful for everyone who’s been gentle with me, who’s supported me through these many difficult years, who’s been a friend, who’s been gracious and caring, who’s helped me have hope for living a safe and authentic life.

some forthcoming 2025 books by women of color I’m excited about!!! in this piece out today in @electriclit.bsky.social 🖤 electricliterature.com/48-books-by-...

Happy New Year everyone! I want to center queer joy and be a silly lil bean for 2025, and all y'all are welcome to join me 🌈😊

Merry Christmas if you celebrate, happy festive break/pretty magical lights season if you don't! Hope everyone gets some time for rest and relaxation. Your community is here for you and so is your found family. Love you all! 🏳️‍⚧️🌈🩷

Trans and intersex people in the UK need you to be loud about the new "deception as to sex" guidance released which makes trans and intersex people legally guilty of rape if we don't disclose our gender identity and/or the sex we were assigned at birth before sex. This especially harms sex workers!

It's really tempting to sink into despair right now, when everything feels so awful. Take the time to grieve, then join us back in the fight. We're not giving up that easily! 🏳️‍⚧️

Being bi is awesome. Women? Fantastic. Men? Great! Non-binary folks? *Chef's kiss* People across the gender spectrum? Magnificent. I just... Appreciate people 💜

Okay, I'm doing this! I'll be playing the comedy slapformer game Thank Goodness You're Here on Friday December 6th, starting 7pm Eastern, on picarto.tv/tailsteak... BLINDFOLDED. I'm doing it to raise money/awareness for Mermaids UK, a youth trans helpline.

There's so much emphasis on romantic and/or sexual connections with other people. But I want to shout out every platonic relationship I have, and how grateful I am to have them. Y'all are amazing human beings and I love you all 💜

Telangana, India, opens 33 clinics dedicated to transgender healthcare, offering hormone therapy and pre-surgical care. The state also plans to induct trans people into police roles, pushing for greater inclusion.

what are the different legal models and why do sex workers want full decriminalization NOW? 🧵⬇️

Hi new BlueSky folks! I'm Hafsa, I use any pronouns (he/they/she). I'm bisexual, Muslim, genderqueer, disabled and will never shut up about all of those things. I'm passionate about social justice, visibility for trans people of colour & faith and shouting outside of buildings about human rights 🌈

Yesterday someone decided to explain what Grindr was to me... I am *this* close the painting a pride flag on my face every day I see him next

Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance, a day to remember every trans person we have lost to violence & transphobia. If you're an ally, mourn with us. If you're trans, don't push yourself to be present if it's painful right now. Your community is here for you 💜

Happy new year y'all! My 2023 was ok and I'm hoping for more of the same in 2024. Cheers to comfortable mundanity :D

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone celebrating! And no it's not offensive to say that to a Muslim 😅 I don't usually celebrate but I like the pretty sparkles and cheer this time of year ✨

We live in a hellscape and all but I have a date today with a cool human so there's that :3

I feel like the discourse™ on 'toxic positivity' isn't nuanced enough. I don't expect others to be happy all the time & I do feel my feelings. But I'm way happier when I focus on things that bring me joy, instead of being negative 24/7. Thoughts?

A legal challenge to Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act (death penalty for ‘aggravated homosexuality’ = acts like sex while living with #HIV) is being mounted by Ugandan human rights activists, journalists, religious leaders, academics, and lawyers. www.hrw.org/news/2023/12...
