WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE LAWYERS CONCEDED THAT 'SEX' REFERS ONLY TO ASSIGNED SEX AT BIRTH

Friday afternoon is a tough crowd so I'm boosting now - here's me, toning down the anger somewhat but still getting my point very much across.

All not guilty. Heartbreaking www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/...

this is such a fucking weird decade chat

One of the FUNNIEST things I've seen on socmed this week is someone doing like....a callout post to the 'deceptive man' and it's just like. WHAAAAT? men like to gain access to sex??? really???? in a PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY?????

Been too exhausted recovering from walking 16Km each day of last week more or less whilst in Rome/Naples to do any TTRPG stuff. Now back in work, working mornings as a phased return, brain wants to do TTRPG stuff. no doubt i'll be stressed about work this midafternoon when not working

Just heard some audio on a short reel on instagram that suggested that 'travestism' and crossdressing only referring to "men dressing up in women's clothing" as an example of history favouring men. We're never getting free from patriarchy dawg

Reposting because of the sony news

Whilst obviously not a great answer I appreciate her being politically honest instead of "oh well there's just ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE CAN DO HEHE" which is not trust and misunderstand what's taking place here

Low channelling my adhd inner monologue:

Reminder: the EHRC Code of Practice is due to complete parliamentary scrutiny on 9th July. It has not finished already, as some suggest, because of how the 40 days is calculated.

Having a lot of "I desperately want to learn a third language, one that's spoken beyond my home country" but struggling to choose bc I wanna speak Italian to understand caparezza lol but learning French or Spanish feels more practical

i am going to become the joker

My LCS has managed to have delays on shipping for 2-3 weeks in a row. God Diamond and Luna SUCK

okay i follow too many americans to remain logged on today

If i were a prominent trans actor in the uk I would simply not normalise gender criticals around me

getting upset and crying and when my friends ask it's because i can't live in a house with legs :(

OUGH

Back to work today after 3 weeks. Wish me luck everyone

It's really incredible how both maga and British Badenoch manages to be

No one is ready for a summer of me having a little beer reading in my garden

I hate this constant claim to being a recipient of violence whilst her work has informed trans violence for decades

the hate on Supergirl is unnecessary. not perfect, some "oh this is a Superhero Movie" moments but it really emotionally captured me!

The thing you gotta keep in mind is that Mel Brooks had his producing credit removed from Lynch's The Elephant Man and Cronenberg's The Fly because he didn't want those films to be mistaken for his comedies. He wanted those films to soar and [gasp] be taken seriously. He had real love for the game.

something I wish Burnham had admitted is just "yes, I am doing this to be PM. That's why I'm here" British politics has felt even more of a façade than normal bc we're all going along with "haha he's just a normal backbencher!!" when that obvs isn't what's happening

"but a character being a feminine guy is more subversive to gender than being a trans girl, doesn't transness just reinforce gender stereotypes?" no it doesn't. you are doing this 👇

This is the image. It's fine to draw trans women as legibly women because we are women. It is subversive to draw trans women like this because most depictions of trans women intentionally exaggerate 'innate' masculine features with an 'artifice' of femininity, denying transition's efficacy.

I really need a Mamdani/Spidey oneshot like the Obama one rn

meme of unknown provenance but constant relevance

It's beginning to look a little like Lez Out Summer

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

This sorta stuff just sounds so mental to me when theres only one Muslim in high office and she's the most anti migration and refugee politician in the whole cabinet😭

goddess bless sometimes I hate that I'm the emotionally vulnerable in-tune mum friend rather than the goofy reflexive humour friend

btw just so you know my cover photo here is mount Vesuvius. i know it's a great picture of it

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

Also: Italian sun looks good on me.

I saw Capparezza live last night and may have been the only non Italian speaker in the crowd. It was ace tho and his set design and puppetry was sick 🎶Vieni a ballare in Puglia, Puglia, Puglia🎶

do i follow anyone who's a trans woman and been to/lived in Austria? would appreciate insights from TRANS WOMEN ONLY.

We weren’t even responsible for the “trans tipping point.” That was cis people going “huh, sure are a lot of trans people in my line of sight” and celebrating their own ability to tolerate it.

In order to achieve total transgender liberation we must also fight for our comrades in prison, for migrants, for an end to imperialism, fascism, and capitalism. Listen to Champagne Song. Hate is Here. We must fight back with everything we have prairielanddefendants.com/defendant-wr...

The USA has criminalised antifascism, sentencing queer anarchist activists to decades (& in one case a CENTURY) in prison for self-defence, and carrying anti-ICE zines. The UK's use of terror laws puts us on the same track. Resistance may be punished, but we will resist nonetheless. xoxo BASH BACK

Sometimes left wingers just say the most antisemitic shit ever and not only is it antisemitic, it's bad analysis of US imperialism. European and US leftists really need to reflect on how they discuss this stuff & whether it veers into the continental tradition or actually critiques modern day empire

why do they all look the exact same

this is just antisemitism conspiracy thinking like. Why would they do a specific backdoor for Israel instead of both leaders being yknow, believers in US hegemony? like why do people feel theres this unique behind the scenes thinking specifically for Israel and it's not about us imperialism

The treatment of trans women in prisons is so exceptionally bad in this country that the standard for unconstitutional neglect of prisoners was set by a supreme court case by a trans woman treated so horrifically by the prisons that even in 1994, a right-wing supreme court ruled in her favor.

This is something I am thinking a lot about before beginning a gender studies MA and it really makes me want to be as well-read as those I follow here

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/
