Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

830 wildfires burning across Canada right now. And you know what’s going to make it worse in the future? More oil pipelines. This is why our voice and our vote matters.

Southern Ontario is covered in smoke today from the devastating wildfires that have already destroyed multiple towns up by Thunder Bay 😰

The Environment Canada Air Quality Health Index only goes to 10, so the air quality in Ontario right now is just posted as "10+". It's sepia outside. Perfect day to film a flashback or stage some old timey photos. Let's all just stay calm and try not to breathe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7ZC...

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

1. The newest anti-trans risk assessment map is here for transgender people. The situation continues to deteriorate for trans people in the United States. Idaho becomes the fourth "Do Not Travel" state, with up to 5 year prison sentences for bathroom usage. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This was probably one of the nicest write-ups someone has done about me, and I think I may have forgot to share it earlier when I shared the episode itself. The conversation we had during the episode was also really enjoyable! Check out Coffee & Geography! geogramblings.com/2026/02/13/o...

Today, we celebrate our non-binary and gender non-conforming community at the start of International Non-binary People’s Awareness Week! What does it mean to be non-binary? 🧵

Pay no attention to the Both and Neither behind the curtain! There are TWO sexes.

okay so here's where my head explodes. because if you define biological sex as binary based on gametes, but then concede that organisms can produce either, both, or none, and thus do not fall into two classes, then *what is the point of trying to say it's a binary*??????????????????????????????????

okay fine i'll read the thing based on the first skim i did i'm not holding my breath, but since we're cited repeatedly i'll engage in good faith.

I have a job interview soon! For a job I think I would be really happy doing!

The Supreme Court ruling and draft Code of Practice mean the UK effectively no longer recognises legal gender recognition, the advisory says Source 👉 https://tinyurl.com/ms8f3f4p

The truth is, you’ll never really know how far your kindness travels. Something you said in passing might still be echoing in someone’s mind. A small act that felt routine to you might have meant everything to them. Don’t underestimate the ways you may have made a difference in someone’s life.

In the UK, you can be arrested, charged, prosecuted and convicted if you do not disclose that you are trans before sex but a cis man doesn't have to declare if he has an STI.

Found out today our disability application was denied because the case worker decided that "Gadfly Stratton" must be a fake name. Despite me having to show them my birth certificate with that name on it. Luckily she was off sick today and we got someone else who's hopefully resolved it. I'm tired. 😫

My little mini Muffin is racking up an emergency vet bill today. I have been unemployed for over a year and pretty worried both about her and how I will pay it. If you are able to help, I would greatly appreciate it. If you are not, I hope her pretty face makes you smile. buymeacoffee.com/gadfly

I've spent the last two months putting together this exhaustive analysis of the New York Times coverage of trans people. It covers 3,242 articles over 12 years. In 2022, the NYT shifted towards a hostile stance towards trans people in their framing. www.thedissident.news/exclusive-ho...

If you are setting up your job application intake to specifically ask people what their preferred name is, it really defeats the purpose to then immediately put their non-preferred name in bold on the profile page and send all your emails addressed to their non-preferred name. Like, why did you ask?

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

RFK Jr and HHS claim puberty blockers and hormone therapy for trans youth - treatments that have been known, used, and studied for decades - need to be banned because the evidence base isn't strong enough. But sedating babies with ketamine to inject them with stem cells? Perfectly acceptable.

Treatments that result in healthy, thriving trans people - or autistic people who are recognizable autistic - cannot amass enough evidence to be acceptable to people who feel the correct number of trans people or autistic people is zero. Eugenics, plain and simple. So next let's talk about science.

A new study of 445 adolescents treated at pediatric gender clinics in Canada found that after a mean 2.4 years, 94.6% still identified as trns. Of the 353 who started hormonal treatments, 1.1% discontinued them. www.jahonline.org/article/S105...

How To Get Out is finally out. It's Trans Rescue's distilled knowledge and advice for trans people and others wishing to escape the UK or USA. This is my first book, and has consumed a lot of my time since last November. I hope people find it of use. Get it here: transrescue.org/how-to-get-out

Idaho cares so much about women that they would prioritize bathroom DNA tests to check if someone may be trans over rape kits, but go on. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

The morning after pogroms in northern Ireland, the UK just sent letters to hundreds of trans youth saying their NHS partner provider, WellBN, has been banned from providing GAC and they must forcefully detransition within the next month. Fascism has arrived to the UK.

Science denialism is at the root of so many of today's environmental, social, political, and economic problems. Just a fundamental unwillingness to believe *anything* that doesn't give license to simply continue doing what one was already doing and just keep doing it forever.

NEW: In February, I visited Raw Farm. You may have heard of it. RFK Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are customers. It supplies raw dairy products to 500 stores nationwide. And regulators have linked it to over a dozen recalls and outbreaks that have made hundreds sick. 🧵👇

5. An institution that acknowledges trans people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.
