This is like Saudi Arabia hosting a women's rights conference.

Breaking: the 1st circuit denied the emergency injunction request by the Rhode Island child advocate. As a result, Rhode Island children's will have to turn over medical records of trans youth to judge Reed O' Connor in Texas within the next 45 minutes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

TIL that some people don’t think the U.K. government is anti-trans 😳

Apparently the timeline today is talking about whether the Starmer government is anti-trans. So just to remind folks that they have: - Welcomed the courts striking down the GRA and trans protections in EA2010 - Laid waste to youth healthcare and made it pretty conversion-y - Done a trans section 28

Celebrate this regardless of concerns for the next steps. Any time he's not a minister is a good thing. Take every victory 🎉🏳️‍⚧️✊

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

This woman adopted this 20-year-old cat from a shelter because she didn't want him to spend the end of his life alone in a cage. Original post

Yes. This is very likely a massive crime! And they’re treating it like “oh, Trump does something outré again.”

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

A good summary by Council Estate Media of Burnham and the people supporting him. Continuity Starmer.

This is Colorado rather than the UK, but the judge's argument is refreshing, and clear. EHRC Scotland's volte face on trans rights seems predicated on their not being many of us. Someone needs to explain "rights" to them? www.erininthemorning.com/p/colorado-s...

And that of course is the problem for transphobes youth trans care results in more happy adult trans people

It's hard to express the disbelief when someone is trying to debate your existence and it's clear they value cis comfort higher than trans safety. Like idk how your supposed to even have a conversation when the opposing argument is idgaf if you get murdered.

The worst of the worst. Thinks he's untouchable. Support Sophie & Heather if you can

The biggest difference between The Green Party & Labour, is that The Greens want to change the *system* to put more power in people’s hands while Labour talks only about “delivering”, ie, retaining centralised power with the current failed system and trying to make it work less badly.

It’s funny how governments push through only some things without it being on their manifesto and not others

Labour had PR in their 1997 manifesto. Specifically, the Jenkins Report should have been put to a referendum. Quietly shelved, while they implemented shitty semi-PR systems for Scottish/Welsh/London devolution. Labour never changes its spots.

goose meme: "because Palestine" "because Palestine what motherfucker?" finish your sentence. say it with your whole heart, genocide wasn't a red line for you.

Get rid of your accountants, market research, training and sales staff too while you're at it. Try being a business of any kind without any of these people.

This is bollocks. People are broke and can’t afford kids or the stable housing that is desirable when you have them happy to help!

The healthcare system for Trans+ people is in crisis. But it isn’t broken - it’s working exactly as it was designed to. Ahem: for cis people. How we got here, for #IDAHOBIT

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

Birth rate discourse is like “It turns out if you give women more choices, they’re less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.” Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake

The mental health of almost every trans person in the UK has been impacted by transphobia, a @transactualuk.bsky.social report found #IDAHOBIT 👇

Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia have no place in Scotland. Scottish Greens will always stand with LGBTQIA+ people against hatred, discrimination and the rise of the far right. For a Scotland where everyone is free to live with dignity, safety and pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

*checks wikipedia* Yep, he's English. Never Not At It.

Make the nationalisation permanent then. Problem solved. Shitcunts

Some good thoughts here. If Burnham wants the Greens to stand down in Makerfield he should make it worth our while. We need to add, ending the puberty-blocker ban, undoing the SC misjudgement and reforming the EHRC. averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com/2026/05/shou...

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

Thread which trans people may find triggering, but others should read and understand.

We so need to share the shit out of this.

Last month, Aleanna Royal Bechdel, a 31 year-old Black trans woman who was a DJ, promoter, and artist, was murdered in a housing complex in New York, and a 54-year old man was arrested. There has been very little press coverage on this, including by queer outlets run by cis white people.

just got back from a vigil for juniper blessing at uw. a beautiful evening surrounded by grieving people who came together to learn and remember someone most of us never met. i feel so privileged to have heard those stories, and to be able to carry them with me. together, we save us.

There was a memorial service for Juniper Blessing at UW this afternoon. Alas, I couldn't go because I was feeling under the weather, much to my regret. But I have been thinking a lot about her and reading a lot--if my reposts from the past week hadn't made that clear.

I am so deeply looking forward to the point in my future, which I definitely believe will happen, in which members of the public learn to be normal about my body. Like no, you don’t get to just ask a stranger on the Metro if she has a vagina or not. I don’t care if you’re closeted: that’s awful.

it’s really time we acknowledge that bbc news is run by a far right cohort

You're entitled to your own opinion. You're NOT entitled to your own facts. #BelieveTheScience What he said 💯 👇 👇 👇

I need to raise money to get Heather Herbert surgery. Clinician said today she's running out of antibiotics treatment options and will be admitted to hospital. We can't let that happen. What sites are best for fundraising?

My plan is to do a 16 mile walk from Aberdeen to Inverurie to raise funds for Heather's surgery. This will be a big challenge for me. I will do it to make my partner better.

Don't...

I don’t often share these things, but please help @heatherherbert.uk any way you can. Anyone who is a regular here probably already knows how poorly she’s been treated by the NHS 😢 I’ll update this when I know how Sophie if fundraising.

"The Department for Education said: “Our expectations are clear: gender identity is an area of significant debate. Schools should not endorse any particular view or teach it as fact, including the idea all people have a gender identity.”" [Telegraph]

This is section 28 again btw. Not teaching that trans people exist as fact, when it is a fact, is a ban on teaching about us.

They're not even trying anymore

This is the truth… “Mandated out of existence” according to the TERF bible…

‘No second class citizens’ apart from the class of people you think should be quite literally segregated in hospital wards and toilets.

Its very telling w/ Streeting's speech and its response that he and a lot of the commentariat just do not view transphobia as a real form of prejudice But you cannot make a convincing "whole of society" argument against prejudice if you're willing to make an opt-out for your preferred punching bag
