I've been quietly making some life and admin changes. If you've been following me a for a while you might notice some profile changes. Not going into details on main but if we've DM'd before and you have questions, I'll try and answer them.

If you have friends / family who aren't quite sure what's going on, this might be a good place to start.

Solidarity to the M&S staff member who had to suffer a bigot film him in store, and who is now being doxxed by all the worst people. I hope his management are providing him with support.

The bigots are doxxing cisgender retail staff now 👇🏻 Dignity, respect and safety for everyone! /s

Building / adapting for climate resilience, reducing emissions with new technology, retrofitting insulation... all of these and more could help boost the economy. I don't understand why it isn't already happening. All of it. Prepare now, or expect a worse future.

Insulation is WOKE /s

“Abandon net zero” = “abandon all hope of a liveable planet for your kids and grandkids”

Sure, it’s a bit warm. But have you considered what things might look like if it’s a bit warmer still, a lot more of the time?

<whispers> they were never single-sex in the first place… exemptions around children and cleaners mean they still aren’t…

I've been in fight mode today. In the past week I lost the right to exist in public without harassment and intimidation, and today I lost the home I was planning to move to. Fucking awesome, lads. I'm working on mitigating both these... setbacks seems a bit too. mild tbh, but whatever.

let's have a reasonable debate about whether you should be excluded from society because you give me the ick

In just one week my little chocoholic daughter turns 18!! Here are a couple of rare occasions I got to take her out for a treat this year 😍. If you can send her a lil treat to celebrate please please do www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...

Cat has what looks like a bit wound on his right shoulder and I just wish he wouldn't keep getting into fights 😔

Incidentally, to do this would require rejecting the authority of the European Court of Human Rights, abandoning the human rights framework established in the wake of the holocaust, ripping up international treaties, and the UK becoming a hellhole, pariah state on the level of Russia or Belarus.

Allies please never talk of nuance when it comes to anything to do with trans people. These new bigots don't think we should exist, they will only accept delay, not give up on their end goal. With every compromise what you're actually asking is for us to accept ever increasing levels of bullying. 🏳️‍⚧️

CW: extreme bigotry, hateful language in the screenshots below It's telling that even when the hateful bigots at SM get what they want, they're not happy to the tune of four, rambling pages. It'd be funny if it wasn't causing so much real world harm.

This.

ChatGBR - trained exclusively on Sherlock Holmes novels, disappointing biscuit recipes, three issues of Razzle someone found in a hedge and a complete run of Wisden's Cricketers Almanacs.

It was never about toilets, or sports.

New profile and banner pics. Do not adjust your sets.

I don’t think enough cis women appreciate how much all of this noise around ‘bathroom bans’ will affect us. (I also think it’s notable that after a chat between me, a cis woman and Steph, a trans woman, a correspondent text in to ask ‘why wasn’t there a woman in the conversation, for balance?’)

Nearly burst into tears several times at the pub (no-ones’s fault, just all the emotions). Home now. I can let the “nearly” segue into “actually” if I need to 🥹

This is very very bad

I used Blockenheimer, which I don’t think exists any more. @blocksky.app will do the same job. For a safer, saner Bluesky experience, I recommend it (user discretion advised… mass blocking is a blunt instrument).

Seattle has done a lot of the heavy lifting in helping trans people leaving red states, and they need help, both in the form of donations and support from state & local government, links in the thread. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Poppy. Fighting adversity. Just…living. Relatable.

I don't know when the narrative changed from politicians earning our votes to them expecting our votes to be owed to them for not being quite so evil as the other guys, making it all into "vote for me or the baddies will win and make it worse" protection rackets.

I hope all my UK-based trans brothers and sisters are finding ways to take care of themselves x

Hearing all the rumors about Elon Musk getting all of his baby moms pregnant through artificial insemination and now I can't help but just view him as a less agile xenomorph facehugger

Further proof, if any were needed, that the prominent GCs are both cruel and very, very weird.

Who, me? Oh, I'm just grieving a lost past and a lost future, and trying to figure out where I go from here. Nothing much.

“This is not a hypothetical. You are less free now. Your security, dignity, and safety is in the hands of nasty, petty, monumentally stupid bigots. They can take it from you at a whim. And that should bother you.” Save this article. Share it, again and again.

Akua Reindorf GC (sic): "Leave us alone." Irony not fucking pictured.

It’s so illogical to me that there are grown adults with proper jobs who quite happily square their belief that charities and human rights experts and so on can be right about everything apart from trans rights and that fascists and dictators can be wrong about everything apart from trans rights

One of the best things I ever did on here was block Sonia Sodha, as soon as she showed up. And then every single one of her followers.

This is amazing but also wild that we're giving rivers legal rights while removing them from trans people.

The linked article is long, but extraordinarily good. I highly recommend you make the time to read it. Especially if you’re *not* trans 🙂

They will start with where you can pee, move to where you can work, and end up deciding whether you can live.

There are powerful, well-connected, well-funded people in this country, today, who are deliberately, strategically, using the idea of a woman being made "uncomfortable" by the presence of a trans person to plot the removal of that woman's right to abortion, contraception, and divorce.

"The story we’re expected to believe is that at the very end of the Brown government, ministers drafted an aggressive bathroom ban, utterly at odds with both our international commitments, EU caselaw, and the trans inclusive GRA they had passed 6 years previously." People seem to swallow this. HOW?

People forget it was a CONDITION of transition that you use your true sex toilet. They have lied and lied and lied from the start. Spent millions. And because we were completely locked out by media - and the actual court itself - they had a free run. The biggest rights robbery in British history.

🗓️ This day in 1988, Section 28 became law. We often talk about Section 28 around trans youth. As well as direct comparisons, we talk about it here because it also represents something broader: A stain on history, with apologies decades later. One day, everyone will have always been against this.

Labour: removing Equality Act protections is really bad and we're against it, unlike the cads and bounders in Reform Also Labour: removing Equality Act protections for trans people doesn't count cos we're doing it with dignitynrespect and a sad face and anyway some judges made us do it so there

*Reform wants to tear up the Equality Act EVEN MORE THAN WE JUST DID

Abortion Rights U.K. are sounding the alarm on Reform. We should be listening abortionrights.org.uk/reform-uk-ca...

Current state of mind: Rage Grief Anxiety Tiny bit of "fuck you" I need to lean into that last bit, don't I?

I think we need to rename gaslighting. Reindorfing?

Good thread.

35% of total disposable household income in the UK went to the fifth of individuals with the highest household incomes. 8% went to the bottom 20%. Household income inequality is higher than in the 1960s/1970s. Can't revive economy without equitable distribution of income.
