I don’t know man lot of people have been capriciously banned or suspended for not violating the ToS, it’s clearly less about that and more about a personal point of pride and not letting your user base win. Kinda hard to read it any other way.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING. It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment. It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men. There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

TRANS PEOPLE OF COLOR EXIST. Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Brown trans people exist. Transness exists in EVERY race and ethnic group. Get out more.

Speaking ill of the dead includes misrepresenting them. If you’re going to claim we must respect the dead, respect them enough to tell the truth about them, however horrible that truth must be. Canonizing someone who was evil counts as speaking ill of them.

"You don’t stick a knife in a man’s back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches and say you are making progress. [...] If you pull it out all the way, then that’s still not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. " - Macolm X

It's three years this week since the UK media reported that 1000 families were going to sue the Tavistock (Gender Identity Clinic) for medical mispractice. There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/

the next phase of british politics will begin when someone on the right breaks the taboo and starts saying "English, not British"

I think it's a little sad that it might need a cis man saying all the things trans researchers like @sexabolition.blog and @taliabhatt.itch.io have been saying to get cis people to listen. Yeah this is about the 5 hr video on 'Debunking Transphobia' www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOc...

this is what you look like as a Harry Potter fan in 2025

When a judgment denounces “gender ideology”, you’re actually witnessing the judiciary itself breaching Article 8. How wonderful. Hey, I’m not criticising a religious judge, I’m talking about our secular state’s positive obligation.

I think today is a great day to mention that the only things stopping the UK parliament from abolishing elections are: 1. Parliament Act 1911 2. ECHR and HRA 1998. 3. The House of Lords who can delay legislation a few times. 4. The Monarchy who can theoretically refuse royal assent.

We can build power outside of these institutions through our relationships with other struggles and that is in fact how we have been building our power. Through culture. Through art. Through shared struggle. Through human connections that can't be lied about.

I believe that focusing too hard on the human rights aspect of UK trans struggle is a losing strategy. Reform is rising in the polls, and a central policy right now is to abandon the ECHR. In a fausian bargain, Labour will potentially offer that referendum, and the media will...

Literally when disabled people say anything

I understand this is probably a joke, but i think talking about the realities of being transgender in China is interesting.

Tranny-hatred is not incidental. It is not a frivilous side-effect, a faddish conservative mania that is secondary to Serious Issues. They hate us because the ruling structures are built on promising every working man a personal, tyrannical domicile instead of a share in actual wealth, which WORKS.

I would like a word with whoever taught cis people that if they see a trans person who is upset about the rise of transphobia, they have to tell them they’re “valid” I’ve been out as trans for 13 years. I know I’m a man, I don’t need your personal validation, maybe protest against fascism instead?

conservatives only change for one reason and that's consequences. social, financial, political, any lever you have, crank it.

Agreed, this is very bad sign that EHRC will continue to be a failed agency, UK is without an effective domestic statutory HR body. Tories defunded, hollowed out & appointed rights saboteurs, this is continuity, just like Labour is continuity austerity. FFS
