I'm in that incredibly uncomfortable situation where I might have to do a Go Fund Me or something soon. I have absolutely £1100 bill for the maintenance company of my block of flats coming due soon and no way of paying it. I'm trying to work out ways of getting the cash but it's not looking good.

Although being gender critical falls under the protected characteristic of 'belief', we need you to prove you are not a transphobe to be allowed to use the toilets in this establishment as we feel that your presence will cause discomfort for others. Thank you for your understanding, The Management.

anyways fuckin' love yourself dumbass, everytime i see someone bellyaching that they don't look like a supermodel when they're only 3 months in i think of this post

@planetx.bsky.social - I'm in the middle of reading Galaxy: As the World Falls Down and really loving it. But a question. Is Von Eeden University an already existent place in Metropolis and is it named after Trevor Von Eeden?

16 very queer and DRM-free books for just $30? Don't mind if I do. Check out the 2026 Pride StoryBundle, featuring Chaz Brenchley, Geoff Ryman, Melissa Scott, JB Lemberg and many others: storybundle.com/pride

This is a perfect example of why wasting ones time to do a pathetic joke would not get any likes on here...(if it were Ai'd) Mr Bloblek! (BTW I hate Mr Blobby)

@sianberry.bsky.social showing that she's very definitely one of the good ones. (My mp has not yet put her name to the Early Day Motion.)

Gail is an absolute star. A fantastic ally, a good writer and an intensely confusing philosopher.

I'm a trans journalist who's investigated and written extensively about the Catholic Church's trans healthcare ban. According to Bluesky mods, simply criticizing the well-documented, anti-trans actions of the pope/catholic church hierarchy and asking people not to praise them is now "intolerant."

I've also just written to my MP @emmafoodymp.bsky.social to ask her to put her name to the Nadia Whittome's EDM 240 against the EHRC Code of Practice using the tool at equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode Please feel free to use any part of what I wrote, if you find it helpful.

I have just sent an email 'breaking up' with someone who has been a friend for a long time because of her refusal to stop being friends with the woman who came out as a transphobic bigot when I started my transition. It's taken far too long to get to this point and part of me is ashamed that it did.

Learn the words.

I am not interested in being part of any trans community where Jess O'Thomson isn't welcome.

Struggling to know what to read or do following the announcement of the UK's anti-trans segregation regime? I've created a basic set of information, resources, and actions - in the form of an auto-reply sent to every single person who emails me at work.

Anyone fancy joining in on a trans version of We Are The World? I think I might be half serious about this. The lyrics fit us (possibly while taking out the reference to God...) at least as well as it did those who suffered in Ethiopia. We could refit it to turn it into a battle song. 1/2

Why did you transition, wrong answers only. I misunderstood what was being offered when I saw an ad about being able to see boobs whenever I wanted.

CUTE DATE SUGGESTION FOR THE OVER BURDENED TRANS WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE: cuddle with her while making no expectations of her for 12 hours. better yet? make it 24.

Horror story concept: spiders with wings.

I'm feeling weirdly stressed out and I don't know why. My heart is beating quickly, my stomach is churning and I feel on the edge of tears. I know that my stress levels are really high since last week but this just seems to have come out of nowhere. I'm not a fan and wouldn't recommend it to others

I've decided to watch Life on Earth. The second episode is about sea creatures - star fish, shelled creatures and the like. They're beautiful and fascinating but at the same time really give me the creeps. I think it might be a bit of a case of trypophobia (fear of holes). I was searching for /1

Does that mean that @theabigailthorn.bsky.social isn't actually allowed to be in the 3rd season of House of the Dragon?

I just got this text through from my gp. I don't blame them but this just feels like another rung on the ladder down to NHS privatisation.

I had a therapy session with my (cis) therapist earlier on. She was curious about why my mental health has suddenly gone down the toilet. After explaining everything to her - including the fact that I've already pissed myself once this month due to being too anxious to go to the toilet - which /1

Sometimes as an NYT books columnist you find yourself quoted in the Atlantic by Helen Lewis, who believes two odd things: 1. That nobody is reading Pratchett anymore (instead of all the time, as they should), and 2. That Pratchett’s politics are hard to pin down, and Reg Shoe is not a fucking hero.

Reading this thread made me watch the film for the very first time. Even un-stoned, everything Lilah said is correct. It's all so very, very queer. I kind of loved it.

Repost with the Russian agent that spies on your posts.

New on my Patreon... Jack & Jill - Phase 9, Part 39 It's the penultimate episode of Phase 9! I wanted this episode to feel like the third act of a thriller - emotional beats landing between the action, tension that doesn't let you breathe. Hopefully it worked! Find it here! bit.ly/4nXgpDS

Last week, the Minister for Women and Equalities submitted to Parliament an updated Code of Practice to the Equality Act, following last year’s Supreme Court ruling. NION Women stand firmly for trans inclusion. Read our full statement here: notinourname.org.uk/targeting-tr... #NotInOurName

This is rather nice. I think I'll give it a go. (Aka please like me!)

I've decided to watch the first episode of Voyager s2. And I have to say that the cold open - discovering an olde timey truck floating in space doesn't fill me with joy. /1

An unjust law is no law at all.

I'm having so much trouble focusing today. I'm in the middle of reading a truly brilliant book (The Summer Goddess by @hierath77.bsky.social) but can't concentrate on it. I'm just scrolling back and forth on here and getting more and more worked up.

Campaign in the swirling-around-ideas phase: You Can Go Here. The You Can Go Here campaign would be a process of talking to businesses to encourage them to adopt a legally compliant trans-inclusive approach to the new EHRC code, and to show it with a sticker in the window. Something like this:

So far, @zackpolanski.bsky.social has shared the Good Law Project's post and the @greenparty.org.uk has been entirely silent on the EHRC CoP from yesterday. This is not the behaviour I would have hoped from either the party leader who has claims to be a trans ally or the party he leads. I hate /1

GIVEAWAY! Dead Weight is coming out next week and to celebrate I'm giving away two copies that have been personally bitten by Uggi and will be personally signed by me and shipped to the winners wherever they live! To enter just like and share this post and I'll select the winners on May 26th!

Let's boost our trans and non binary siblings, because "dignity and respect" is all very well but visible support is nice too... If you're a trans / nb artist/writer/poet/whatever share a link to your work here. Or if you want to support a friend, same. I'll repost as many as I can 1/2

Here's my first impressions FAQ on the EHRC document. Questions welcome. sandraduffy.blog/2026/05/21/f...

EHRC Guidance released: Our statement

We have had 10 separate key orders, and donations totalling £180 off the back of bigger trans accounts sharing the pee in peace program link. This *is* helping people negotiate a hostile world. There is demand and need. Your reposts make a massive difference cos we have no marketing budget.

Fucking hell. Today's a good day for supportive Cis people to start wearing a trans pin, or a pronoun pin. Or both. Just do something to show you care about us.

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Are you a fan yet? Chaz Brenchley's Crater School books are a perfect recreation of the classic girls' boarding school tales such as the Chalet School series. There's just one twist: the school is on Mars! The first book in the series is Three Twins at the Crater School. wizardstowerpress.co...
