Study from 2024: "TGD individuals, especially transgender men, are at higher risk of experiencing all forms of violence relative to cisgender women." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

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.

The way the criminal justice system handles rape is further proof of why it needs to go. Rapists almost never end up in jail. Most rapes are not reported. Some survivors go their lives without telling a soul. When they are reported, the system antagonizes survivors, & rapists rarely get convicted.

There is growing evidence that ‘gender policing’ in single-sex spaces is on the rise, despite the Code not yet being in force

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

On this hot fourth of July it is worth reminding folks that its not the sun that's causing global warming. Solar output (as measured by satellites) has been flat over the past 50 years when global temperatures have shot up. Its our emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

On the fourth of July, 1980, about fifteen trans women went to one of the most upscale public swimming pools in Milan, took off their tops, and started lounging around. It was a Friday, and the height of the summer vacation, so there were plenty of families with young children around. 1/

Just flagging this for all the assholes who rush to defend noted shitty antisemitic conspiracist Roger Waters solely because he's ostensibly "pro-Palestinian"

Not really surprising. Democracies were supposed to allow people to change their material conditions when they needed to and our system hasn't provided that in decades.

I’m a critic of these mass submission campaigns generally but this one is one that really matters because it isn’t a government bill and because it’s a test for the appetite of people in this country for transphobia as a wedge issue.

you always gotta repost my posts when you see it, small accounts like mine need the engagement...

angela rayner's silence on labour's transphobia shouldn't be forgotten. every time she turns up at pride or a gay club or whatever trying to sidle up to us all.

it's always cute when Americans are like "LOL. Europe. we put aircon in ancient buildings ALL THE TIME it's easy." then you look and they mean sticking window units in some wooden buildings younger than my wardrobe.

Turns out the Cass review was full of shit the whole time.

Folks, there's a fundraiser for the families of the trans kids who were with WellBN but are being stripped of their healthcare and it urgently needs eyes and wallets on it. Full details on the fundraiser page. Please share. www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...

It didn't use to be normal to hit even 32°C It's now happened every year since 2010 It certainly wasn't normal to hit 35°C It happened in just 10 summers in the 20th Century It's happened 9 times in the first 26 years of the 21st Century 6/

Happy Pride to every woman whose parents once said "you can't be gay, you were boy crazy as a child!" The boys in question:

Local Trans Woman Has To Keep Specifying That Her Surgery Is Not One of the Fun Ones

it's very difficult to take seriously the idea that some people are incapable of understanding the clear purpose of these laws at the moment they are proposed.

economy's in the toilet, pound's in the toilet, labour party's in the toilet, the only thing not in the toilet is the people the ehrc say can't be in the toilet

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

Andy Burnham is no king. He's a snivelling sycophant who still gets kick me stickers stuck to his back. Instead of standing up to the bullies he hands over all his friends pocket money. Yeah, that's who he is.

"trans existence is criminalized", in the UK. The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has spoken. www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-n...

Not to be a filthy capitalist, but if you want to help transgender people you have to hire or buy goods from transgender people directly. This will be the case so long as the average transgender person makes 60 cents on the dollar to a cis white guy (lower for trans women of color).

Should The Government Stop Dumping Money Into A Giant Hole?

THIS!

I don't think we talk enough about how fascists are sad, pathetic, and deeply weird losers. Desperate to be considered cool. It's an edgy teenager ideology, without the grace afforded to edgy teenagers by the fact they're still children.

pretty much everything that's gone wrong over the last 3 years can be explained by 'our ruling class have melted their brains on x'.

Conversion therapy is torture and the NHS are pushing trans kids through it despite knowing the harm (and deaths) it causes. There need to be prosecutions!

Elon Musk became a trillionaire today By midnight tonight, 8200 children will have died from hunger It costs fifty cents to feed a starving child for a day How’s your maths?

I've been asked to publish this statement from some of the families affected by NHS England's decision in Brighton.

Hi, I started this fundraiser, Help My Wonderful Partner Get Her Toxic Kidney Removed, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it. gofund.me/fc8a97644

He has the combined GDP of the 78 countries at the bottom of the list Places like: Belize, Jamaica, Albania, Armenia, Chad, Sierra Leone, Moldova, Laos, Mongolia Those 78 countries are populated by 0.5 Billion people. Let that sink in: equivalent to the nations that 500,000,000 people live in.

honestly getting sick of labour Mps suddenly writing in to challenge the EHRC. a) they said shit all for 10 years+ while we were abused by the watchdog. b) you can literally just change the law they're duty bound to issue a code on. like... any time you like. Just re write it! right now!

Weird how it's always trans people having to "make compromises" like "stop existing in public" and never "Gender Critical" people having to make compromises like tolerating being in the same room as a trans person. Like what has been the case your entire life

This was a racist pogrom done by nazis

Before it disappears down people’s timelines please as your MP to sign EDM 240 against the Starmer/Philippson transphobic “guidance”, and to explain why, if they have not. More than one-sixth of all MPs have now signed.

BREAKING: After BASH BACK actionists took direct action against the EHRC's offices, the EHRC have been thrown out by their landlord. Let this be a lesson: if you rent your buildings to bigots, we will BASH BACK. And don't worry, we'll find them again. They can't hide.

Following the shameful decision of NHS England to forcibly detransition trans kids under the care of Brighton WellBN Good Law Project is funding gender affirming private healthcare for at least 10 young trans people whose treatment has been withdrawn and whose financial need is greatest.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Cis allies - you're to London on June 25th, right? You're going to put your money where your mouth is and talk to your MP in person, not just post on social media...right?

The forced detransition of everyone under 18 in the uk is an act of genocide. If you or someone you know is affected by it and needs help, reach out. I will teach you how to DIY. I will help you get the materials. I will walk you through processing it. Death before detransition.

Thank you @sarahowen.org.uk for listening fairly to the EHRC yesterday but clearly putting the reality of trans people’s lives across. Having heard their defence, thank you for now signing EDM 240 against the EHRC’s harmful guidance. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

This is what it feels like living in the UK right now.
