To all kind hearts, 🤍 Only £86 stand between my children and their school.🥹 Every small contribution from you is not just help — it is hope. Hope that they can keep learning, growing, and dreaming despite everything. Help us protect their future and keep them in school.🙏

This women's group wanted to raise £1,000 to help the victims of last night's attacks in Belfast. It's already at £56,000. chuffed.org/project/1854...

Leaving the UK has increasingly become part of many in our communities' plan. For those on low incomes, this poses multiple barriers, not least that without documentation - leaving is impossible. If you are a trans or non-binary person in this situation - we can help. 1/3

We have had 10 separate key orders, and donations totalling £180 off the back of bigger trans accounts sharing the pee in peace program link. This *is* helping people negotiate a hostile world. There is demand and need. Your reposts make a massive difference cos we have no marketing budget.

We've read the new Code of Practice. Here's what you need to know.

Any chance I can get $100 (or more to shop?) to go out to a masked event today? It's $50 a ticket but its been literally years since we went to anything fun other than a market. linktr.ee/wylder

While Streeting contemplates what he does next, here is a brief look at his role in undermining Trans+ healthcare in the UK, since becoming Health Secretary. Plus a look at how in 2022, he said: "my Christian Anglican faith definitely informs my politics"🧵

This is a *phenomenal* thread on what's been going on lately.

We used to be first. That’s why people’s vibe is still “this was a good place to be yourself”. Then we had 10 years of attacks on human rights, total institutional failure and a roll back of rights… …including the claim we never had human rights protection in the first place.

A far-right influencer is suing the charity 10,000 Interns, claiming their trailblazing schemes supporting Black people are “anti-white”. We’re pushing back:

Health Secretary says sick people aren’t actually sick, just lazy That having a healthcare system that “just treats illness” isn’t the best thing for people, actually

My wonderful partner @foxenlock.bsky.social wrote this so go read this equally wonderful story with gorgeous art. So excited to see this go live after many months of work 🏳️‍⚧️💞

Every transphobic dipshit on the planet: "Trans people are something that was just invented in the past 20 years!" The fucking Roman Empire: "Hold my posca." bsky.app/profile/wear...

Yes, this: ‘If loving yourself when others cannot is how we fight transphobia and bigotry – well, as Jo says, “that’s why I do it”.’ Alcott isn’t the only example of a potentially overlooked transmasc author either…

NOTHING NEW RECEIVED AS OF 5PM 🕔

This is a guy whose entire career record got embargoed for 100 years, having only been outed after he died. The British Army was THAT level of flustered by having employed a trans person/‘woman’ and raised them to its second-highest medical rank as Inspector General of Hospitals.

let us recall our feral trans man forefathers, like Antonio de Erauso, a Basque hellraising conquistador with a penchant for stealing other people’s wives he was sentenced to death then managed to escape a startling number of times: somehow, he got away with it all and died a muleteer in Mexico.

As part of our "Reflections" campaign we have an installation at Outernet London until May 10th. It's on rotation. You can catch it every 30 minutes in the 'Now Trending' space.

Oh look! You know if you can’t wait for next week and new articles from @transhistoryweek.com you could always start here 👀

Launching today! In calm water and rough tides, we rise 🌊 Now until 10 May, "Reflections" spotlights the voice and power of Trans+ communities across the UK.

I lived as a trans man for two years, decided that identity wasn’t for me, and am quite certain I’m genuinely nonbinary/genderfluid. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was true in some cases, and people feel pressured out of trans manhood because of the hard-lining of ‘real manhood’.

From Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’. He knew what was up. Mr Chapmans always regurgitate their hollow rhetoric and hope we don’t notice. ‘Doctrinaire’ = SJW = woke Be doctrinaire to their nationalism and mockery of common sense.

We are still taking bookings amd registrations for Voice Club: the cheapest and best community delivered voice training sessions available to transfeminine identities in the UK. We nearly sold out of sessions last time we advertised - so get in quick!

Ive known Sara since she's was a little kid and she's facing a long recovery after a bad car accident. Any help is appreciated gofund.me/a035ea551

One more reason to be grateful for the existence of @wearequeeraf.com When our government and health services won’t take responsibility, we show up for our own.

No wonder Farage and his media muppets are constantly having a go at the Greens. It is the Green Party that is taking votes off Reform and devouring their lead.

How are transgender parents currently registered on their children’s birth certificates in the UK? We are supporting the TransReg study, conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich and KU Leuven, to gather anonymous data on the birth registration process for trans parents.

The BBC doing BBC things...

See now I’m wondering: how do we heal this fracture for transmascs? Because it feels horribly like we’d need to eradicate misogyny, and the way ‘male’ violence and abuse is permitted, before we even begin. There has to be another way. We need each other now, we can’t afford division like this.

This is something I’ve felt and noticed too. Also that, for some reason, within transmasc community we seem under-networked. Like it’s harder for us to find and connect with our fellow transmascs. If anyone else agrees or there’s any investigation into it, I’d be very interested.

Glad we’re having a discussion around this and how we all do not experience this/experience this differently. I’ve experienced more gender violence than male privilege since going on hormones!! I don’t pass as cis male and I don’t want to.

"There are better ways to talk about patriarchy." --- Starting with acknowledging that patriarchy doesn't = men. I'm not going to apologize for transitioning & identifying as a man. Nor am I going to tell you I immediately got respect once I was passing. Women in positions of power ⬇️1️⃣

If you’re Trans+ and love cyberpunk, I want to hear from you. Share your insights and experiences via these four surveys:

$100 RECEIVED! $2600 REMAINING!

I feel seen by this quote 😌 "In particular, Black transmascs can’t gain privilege on the same trajectory, as they’re typically excluded from misogyny’s framing of women – especially white women – as vulnerable and non-threatening."

Your kindness is a lifeline for my family. 🧡 We lost our home and everything during the genocide, and now we are trying to start again from nothing! Every donation, no matter how small, helps us secure safety, food, and a future for our children.🥹

Shape future trans+ healthcare research by taking the Trans, Non-binary and Gender Diverse Adult priority setting survey today! Your answers will inform research priorities and support funding applications. Take the survey at wp.lancs.ac.uk/transadultspsp

Trans people, I have a question, if anyone wants to answer. What's keeping your hope alive, lately? Share anything positive, I'd like to hear.

Really excellent piece by @willofwands.bsky.social in this week's QueerAF newsletter. I'd also encourage transmasc people, if they have the spoons for it and are in a reasonably safe situation, to use their privilege, speak up & be visible for those who can't.

Blessed TDOV to all in my trans+ community. If you’d like to read a little something about transmasculine visibility in history (and ancient mythology) check the thread. Still very proud to have this out and encompassing so many things/periods I love in our history!

I’ll be posting the art bundles for Trans in the Machine over the next few weeks. Featuring stickers from @sarah-clowder.bsky.social, textile patches from Chaos Creations, cover print & bookmark from @lyssmenold.bsky.social. Plus, a Trans+ cyberpunk manifesto from me and @willofwands.bsky.social
