The cross dressing mission in FF7 was part of my queer awakening so really it created more woke than it contained

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

Compare and contrast

In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

To be really clear, Sussex ICB threatened, in writing, to close a Brighton GP practice serving 25,000 patients, purely to bully them into passing over child records. The GP did not want to pass on these records, because they understood the acute risk (& reality) of harm to trans adolescents.

When the NHS talk about the “risks” of puberty blockers for trans teens, they don’t mean side effects, they mean the “risk” child will stay trans. Being trans is the fail state to them, and they would rather children be dead. We know PB are safe because we give them to cis children and some adults.

I don’t tend to visibly stim in public but I’ve been freaked out by the fireworks at the tram stop and it’s hard to know if people are watching the fireworks or my awkward half-dancing, half-pacing on the platform

Every year we get closer to this happening on the news

Hi @northwestbylines.co.uk why did @sophiemolly.co.uk's article need to be *withdrawn* for SussexICB to have a right of reply? If they have a right of reply I would like to be able to read what they are replying to. I don't understand your reasons for withdrawing it. Have they threatened you?

Good morning to everyone except the man who sold me a train ticket but didn’t tell me no trains are going that way this morning 🙃 I think there was an announcement but I honestly struggled to parse most train station announcements so didn’t catch it. No visual signs and no signal down there.

ushering in an era of bold socialist leaders who support trans rights and make really great font choices

Interesting that the judge notes that it is a "political belief" Robinson holds and then proceeds to call it a "protected characteristic". Even though political beliefs are not in fact protected characteristics under the Equality Act – only philosophical ones are. Somewhat gives the game away.

It’s been a long long time since I last woke up to a feed of happy American, you all deserve this moment of hope 💜

In my video I described someone who said that “all disability is a social construct” as “wrong”. A couple people have pushed back on this so let me be clear. The Social Model of disability was never supposed to be used in a reductionist way, as the ONLY model for disability 🧵

This quiz is amazing in showing how close current transphobia is to being 30 year old reheated homophobia:

✈️ NEW ✈️ A large proportion of UK trans people are looking to emigrate within the next 10 years, with almost 40% of younger people considering a move abroad, according to a new YouGov poll: https://goodlaw.social/t2h8

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I think this person is onto something🤔

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

Fed up of having to front load conversations about accessibility by disclosing my own disability before people take me seriously. I’m fairly open about it, but I feel like whenever someone new joins a team I have to mention it again so I don’t get ablesplained at

I’m having a terrible time searching for this, but I’m after stuff about how tiktok style captions (colouring or changing the size of words etc) aren’t very accessible. I’ve seen people talk about it but I didn’t save any of it.

There is a special hell for people who “present” PowerPoints as a screenshare with the PowerPoint application rather than presentation mode.

The way Brianna Ghey's death played out will always upset me. There have been a lot of tragedies these past few years and we'll see even more, but there's something about the way the press, politicians and family continue to cynically abuse her memory that fills me with such deep sadness.

For some reason I’ve been thinking about this one guy who told me, to my face, that if I cared about society I wouldn’t take medication I need to have a functional life because it costs more than I pay in tax.

Got through 6 books on my week off 💪 2 are YA so were relatively quick to get through to be fair. The Black Hunger was my favourite of the 6 but way too scary to read while on a plane.

I think Journey is the closest there is to a flawless game. Everything works together and it does all it needs to do in the right amount of time.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

My work visit to Liverpool is on the same night as the Real Madrid match which means hotel prices are absolutely wild. When travelodge is charging over 250 a night you know something is up.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

Every office needs to have one person whose entire job it is to be terminally online, and everyone else needs to agree to listen to that person when they say that you need to change the name of your pet project or delete a media post.

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.
