The state in which transfems are most recognizable, most vulnerable, most fresh and inexperienced and enduring the worst of transmisogynistic backlash to our transitions, is the state that most non-transfeminine people wish to exalt and immortalize. And that's weird.

I can't thank people enough for a warm reception to @sandraduffy.bsky.social and I's article 🥹☺️ I am working on a local queer history piece atm, and excited to share that once it's done. I also am working on a "ghost" blog that'll be about anything I fancy (my inaugural post shall be on comics).

Been obsessed with this Butch country singer I've found and she has aged divinely. I need her so bad

*weeping* please stop calling women females in casual conversation

Thrilled this is out in the world - and thanks to @ulyverse.bsky.social for being the best coauthor! F@L is always a pleasure to write for and the editors of this special section were fantastic.

Cis journos who fancy themselves our allies - one of the best things you could do right now is push some human interest stories about trans people like this into the mainstream.

And today I learnt what "epistemic injustice" is and that I (along with other trans people) am experiencing it. It's a very readable article that academically captures the reality of trans experiences in the uk and the impacts of recent legal judgements -- "living in the conditional at all times".

I can't begin to describe how sad I am at how much comics journalism is underfunded and underappreciated, how much creators are part of the problem it's like this. Please support @sktchd.bsky.social , @comicsbeat.bsky.social , @sequentialscholars.bsky.social and more if you can!!

like. What are doing we doing here.

Here's your open-access lunchtime quick read from us with (we think) an innovative viewpoint on the afterlives of FWS.

Just also like. It means SO much to me that I have just been published in a feminist journal :") feminism and reading about feminism made me self-realise my womanhood. I was so hesitant to self ID as a woman but it was feminists who helped me understand my experiences as misogyny.

I'm ecstatic to share my feminists@law article (!!) co-written and steered by @sandraduffy.bsky.social . I want to thank them publicly for rooting me on & the editorial team who were very supportive. Please read. First of many I'm hoping... journals.kent.ac.uk/index.php/fe...

When RuPaul is in a rush to come up with a disguise trade name:

I've lost count of the number of times I've had to pull out this chart from the FT. It's not really true to say young men are moving right in the developed world overall, let along within the UK. Just like the mythical Reform surge with teenagers, it's a meme that just will not die.

On the attempted far right attack on an East Bristol pub. Yesterday, 25-30 members of Bristol Patriots attacked our fundraiser at the Red Lion in Easton. They arrived together in vans and cars and tried to force their way into the pub. Due to the quick thinking of people there, they were shut out.

I got some really hard family news last night and life is too busy to process it all. If you pray I would appreciate being held in your prayers. If you don't nonetheless good vibes/thoughts etc appreciated.

Event comics can be really, really good. They can be good for the ethos of superhero comics, of connected universes and they can also create new status quos that then bring out incredible runs. Without Messiah CompleX you get no Carey X-Men Legacy, without Secret Wars no brill JmD Spidey.

i cannot wait until contra inevitably runs for congress and the discourse that will ensue

@astridsramblings.bsky.social babe have I got your number? Do you have mine?

It is so annoying how there are: -trans people who feel they're better for medically transitioning -trans people who feel they're smarter for only socially transitioning -a global movement against ALL acts of transition and this hasn't resulted in a more robust political demand for transition

I just personally think that in this era where there is an international movement to make trans healthcare inaccessible and even criminal alongside erasing and criminalizing trans existence, we should probably just shelve any and all discourse about transmedicalism

Contrapoints is at it again so I think it's important to say that one of the big failures of the last 15 years of left and liberal politicsi within the broad mainstream sphere has been an abandonment of hope and imagination.

“Trying to live under the radar” My transness isn’t something I should need to hide. I refuse to feel shame for something innate, usual and human. Trans+ people living proudly as themselves is not what is causing our persecution.

So glad we have massively restructured transgender care on based on the works of someone who believes absolute nonsense.

Had what I can only describe as a large transmisogynistic microaggression at a lesbian club night and all i want to do is sob & sob :)

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban

TBH I am less worried about Supreme Court/EHRC guidance since the high court ruling. It all feels incoherent, meaning it'll be how a lot of this stuff operates now, it'll depend on sound staff members in restaurants, pubs and general public facilities. I went to a sports bar & was told to use...

I think all gambling companies should be proscribed under the Terrorism Act and their C suites exiled to Rockall. Reasonable moderate policies for a better Britain.

This Valentine's Day I thought I'd share some fave lesbian/sapphic ships of mine ^_^ Firstly, T'Lyn/Mariner! Unusual Lower Decks pairing yes but I think they counterbalance each other well & really suit what they would want from a partner; distance but still affirmation

Meat Loaf's BAT OUT OF HELL is one of those albums my parents loved and I think it is still a top ten album for me. An example of just really well put together commercial rock and it is. So camp.

Feeling bad a great manner of things but not about how I look so here's me from earlier this week!

1/This week the General Secretary of @unison.org.uk came out in support of reforming gender recognition, that there is no dividing line between any worker's rights with another, that the epidemic of misogyny scrutinises womens bodies - particularly attacking migrants & trans people
