They use sexual assault as a metaphor for everything they don't like, which shows their deep and total contempt for actual survivors of abuse. Their discomfort at seeing a tranny is literally placed on the same level as sexual violence.

Ohh god, now I have so many pun ideas for An Orko Kapitalist/Livva Tearin army. They got bit coins (teef embedded in coins). They got krump toe kurrency (severed toes). They got deffkoptas who idontiv...iddentivv...feel like attack helicopters. They're led by Frid Rich von Hayork. Black and yellow.

Orks in 40k use Teef (teeth) for currency, but what if they were to embed said tooth in a golden disc? Why then you'd have bit-coin.

I cannot find posh people attractive. I think the problem, as a posho myself, is that I've met people like me and am fully aware how much we suck.

'Identity politics' is a fundamentally unserious concept, used by people who want to pretend that there's no material basis to overlapping systems of oppression.

I am once again very confused at finding Andrew Garfield attractive in The Magic Faraway Tree.

I used to believe in unilateral didarmament, and I wish I could go back to that. Nuclear weapons are evil, but are also just about the only thing that put the brakes on US imperialism.

To be clear, if you click on the link it shows that the Greens are proposing voting down to Code of Practice in Parliament, it's just not explicit in Zack's post. Realistically though, I think this parliament of Labour ghouls are going to let it pass, so the legal challenge is the most likely route.

I am shocked that a centrist darling would be a coward.

Re-upping the chaff project today because it's a genuinely good idea and suddenly super relevant If you are a cis ally, please seriously consider wearing a trans flag badge. Not an ally badge; a badge that makes people go "are they trans?" Cause good trouble for us, please.

Recessive genes are a bitch. The rest of my family are dark skinned and just get a lovely tan, no matter how long they're in the sun. I was lucky enough to inherit all the Scottish, Irish and Vampire genes and have to reapply Factor 50 every six minutes or so.

Starmer was elected on promises of improving a country in shambles, and what he has proceeded to do is ignore the most pressing concerns to instead fixate on a petty, cruel, and fundamentally inhuman agenda of scapegoating immigrants, policing bathrooms, and tearing away support from the vulnerable.

Also (sorry, but honestly) if I had to make a list of places cis men couldn't go to because a cis man had made a women "uncomfortable" there, it would be very long and there would be literally nowhere for men to go.

Labour's bathroom ban is going to lead to lots of women who aren't traditionally attractive being harassed and abused. And the TERFs response to the hurt that causes will be to blame trans people for existing. The media will insist this is just another harm trans people have done to are women.

Just ignore this and piss where you want. Any organisation that actually enforces this is a fucking bigot and we should name and boycott them for doing so.

We took action against the EHRC knowing that things could only get worse. Now that they have, the time has come for further mass resistance. Do not obey this bigoted legislation. Do not give them an inch. xoxo BASH BACK

One day, all the fuckers responsible for this shit will be dead, their molecules broken down and recycled into something less malign. And trans people will still be here.

Even violence, state or otherwise, will not stop me living my life. I will not change a single thing about how I've been living for over a decade regardless of what some new garbage "guidance" might say. If they made it illegal to breathe I'd still do it. Fuck you

Love seeing proof of how far the garden has come. Used to be bare grass, hardly any wildlife, you had to really look for it. Now, I went out for 10 mins and saw: 5 birds of various kinds, spider, 2 types of bee, hoverfly, woodlice and a queen ant! Can't believe they chose my garden ❤️💚🌱☘️

The Western Hognose is my new favourite snake. Look at that snout scale! And adorably they use it to burrow.

It was never our first choice. But it is the only one some in the community have left that gives the chance to negotiate public life safely and securely. We are here for those asking for help. We dont push this program as a solution to the problem. Its just the community getting by as best they can.

1/ Emily has spent more than half of her life living as who she is. She has always been well aware of who she is. So I ensured that she was raised and loved by me for exactly who she is because let’s be honest if I didn’t that would make me her 1st bully and I would be loving the wrong kid.

writing tips - sci-fi edition! parts I and II, because I honestly have too much expertise here to contain to a single image

The news reporting is going to be maximally nasty, and as we've already seen with The Times talking about it affecting employees, factually wrong. The guidance will be bad, but it's important to focus on what it actually says rather than catastrophise. Trans people take care of ourselves today ❤️

Andy Burnham was the presumed winner of the 2015 Labour leadership contest until Corbyn blew him out of the water, and it would be very funny if he's always the centrists' king over the water who can never actually get to be leader.

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap.

Explaining to my daughter that it used to be not only permitted, but expected, for teachers to hit children, and she said "Mummy if any teacher tried to hurt me I'd kill them".

To all the late transitioners: You didn't just change your own lives. You expanded the horizon of possibilities for everyone witnessing your journey. Thank you for being the role models we so desperately need and are so lucky to have.

Trans girls with glasses [my daughter told me she thinks I look weird without my glasses]

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Please stop calling the current far-right Labour party a “progressive vote”. Supporting genocide and taking healthcare from trans people and cutting benefits for the disabled is not in any way “progressive”.

So it turns out both 'The Worst Witch' and 'The West Wing' are often tagged as #TWW. And now I'm stuck seeing this magical thinking bullshit full of ridiculous characters and implausible storylines when I'm trying to find fan content about young witches attending school.

No, UDAHOBIT.

I'd agree with this

Wesley Snipes from 30 Rock [Michael Sheen] would crush Wes Streeting.

The next James Bond should be a drag king.

BRB, off to buy a piece of gender affirming hand luggage.

Off Campus is so fucking good, perfect trashy romance TV, and also really lovely examples of wholesome straight masculinity.

Thank you for your service 🫡

My experience of 'male socialisation' was that it mostly consisted of boys calling me a girl [derogatory].

West Streeting sounds like a train station in Sussex.

Funny that I got my transsexual license exactly a decade after I got my driver's license.

I just heard that my GRC has been granted! As soon as it arrives I will be windmill slamming the button to update my marriage certificate.

Has Wes bottled it?

Straight men are so fucking weird.

The trans community in this country is treated appalling. They deserve to be treated with dignity, like everyone else. Piers Morgan's obsession with this question is bizarre and disrespectful.
