Gitaroo Man coming to PS Plus was honestly best part of State of Play. Lots of other cool looking things but nothing I’m really into.

Another miscarriage of justice from the UK Supreme Court. An attack against the human rights of one protected characteristic is an attack against all. Solidarity to the disabled community.

The excellent accessibility team at the Ministry of Justice are looking for two Accessibility Specialists. Deadline: 12th June. www.jobtrain.co.uk/justicedigit...

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

WHAT DAY IS IT

Hi BlueSky pals 📣 Having just completed a fun project with the folks at Clearleft, I’m on the lookout for my next project. I’m open to part-time or full-time contracts outside IR35 and I can help you with: - design systems consultancy & management - content design - design systems documentation

Just under 5 years ago, The Guardian censored these words of non-binary academic Judith Butler arguing that transphobia is fascism. Butler has quite obviously been proved right. A good day to share this widely.

Joint statement from international LGBTQ+ rights NGOs, including @ilgaeurope.bsky.social and @tgeuorg.bsky.social “How can any trans and intersex person travelling to the UK feel secure that they will be treated with respect and dignity while using services?” tgeu.org/joint-statem...

Ok I know there’s a lot going on, but my small joy today is finding out D’espairsRay just released a new song. They were the first Japanese band I saw live back in 2009. youtu.be/7qUa-oXmpSQ?...

In ancient times Scythian transgender priestesses used to drink horse piss as a form of HRT. That’s why for Trans Pride I’m partnering with Strongbow Original Cider

Time to delete your Linktree!

literally the only "public toilets issue" that should exist in political discourse is that there fucking aren't any any more.

Working class - LGBTQ solidarity.

Mental health charities have again warned @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social that EHRC guidance is not good enough. "Its implementation may prevent many trans and non-binary people from living a full life in the UK". www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/news/item/ce...

Delighted to see NION women Australia launch overnight. Started by one of our UK team, who took it with her when she moved, and surrounded herself with good people. Please welcome @Nionwomenaus over on Instagram, share their letter and sign if you’re based there 🙌 actionnetwork.org/forms/nionwo...

The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context. We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2

Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter raising serious concerns about NHS England’s recent evidence reviews of gender affirming hormone treatment for trans youth. Read the full letter here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

A light well has been installed at platform 5A at Sheffield railway station which shows a section of a river hidden for more than 150 years. The light well has been installed where the River Sheaf meets Porter Brook. 👇 Hidden river under Sheffield Station uncovered. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

COGE and Project 2029 are both stupid names for the same reason—we need new ideas to build a new world, and slightly altering the names of fascist programs does not give the impression you’re changing much.

Love it. Love that the earring doesnt make sense cause its not attached to the ear even love it so here for vermeer nijntje

We have a simple choice facing us: find and build common struggle with others who are suffering injustice, or die.

Fuck anyone saying "if this were happening to any other community" when it comes to anti rights backslides and threats to community events. We are all of us facing escalating hate crimes and all of us have been for a long time.

Not sure if hot take or me thinking bollocks, but is the menopause not a form of “sex change”? Markers of the cis female sex like fertility and hormone profile change. Same for puberty.

I know despair is a luxury but I don’t know how to climb out of this hole. I’m very scared for our future here. Many cis folks have been very supportive and that’s lovely, and if popular opinion changed things that would be great but it isn’t.

We're looking for a couple more speakers for July and September. If you're interested in speaking, let me know!

sick of hearing "bearded trans men will be made to use women's bathrooms" in misguided pushback against the EHRC guidance. beards don't give you threatening superpowers. as we've seen with countless gender non-conforming folk, if i entered a women's toilet, i'd be the one at risk of attack

We're complaining to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters describing women who are trans using women's spaces as "deviants". The language is unacceptable (and the statement is wrong in law). We're looking for other examples of it (staff or Trustees) using inflammatory language. Share below?

Why isn’t there a Galaxy Quest for Lord of The Rings

Cis folks, here is an example of pretty much every anti-trans trope and opinion. From we’re doing it as a fetish to autistic people are incapable of self-understanding to fanfic made us do it. If you have the stomach, read this and see what we are dealing with. How would you debate these people?

With Palantir embedded with Network Rail and now with SpaceX being positioned as the primary train WiFi provider, we must ask the question: how much control is the US tech industry going to get over our railways?

Japan's Supreme Court will rule this year for the first time on whether barring same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Ahead of the verdict, Marriage for All Japan has taken its "Love Wins" campaign nationwide. Here's what they hope to achieve with their 47-prefecture campaign.

"who can afford to be gay at THOSE prices?"

As I reported last week....five people also abstained. 55 votes total. 1 in favour.

every single person who reads this is having a happier and more fulfilling life than sonia sodha, so take that W

Remember this... Eire has had gender recognition based on self-ID for over 10 years with no reports of abuse or hatred. The gender critical movement in Eire is minuscule. This is a British problem. A very sick, twisted, British cult problem. It is a disturbing European outlier . This is not normal.

Cis friends; you’re probably thinking “that will never happen“. Lots of people didn‘t think the Supreme Court ruling would happen either, and look at where we are. You cannot compromise with a position of “we want you to stop existing”.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

"So it keeps the heat in when it's cold out?" "Oh, God, no"

Have we considered this as a reason everything feels Wrong?
