I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

It's your birthday, Duane.

Pre-clocking off reminder of this CfP!

Blake and I get into it on a recent ep of @maxwellkuzma.bsky.social 's Whiplash pod bsky.app/profile/maxw...

Don't talk to journalists about DIY HRT.

The long-awaited Levy Review is out. This is tinkering around the edges of a failing system. Until trans people can access our healthcare based on informed consent, from the same doctors in the same communities as everyone else, issues will remain unsolved. www.england.nhs.uk/publication/...

Here's a piece I did for the Brockton Writers Series on queer and trans worldbuilding: brocktonwritersseries.wordpress.com/2025/12/17/b...

I’m extremely grateful to everyone who has donated to my crowdfunder, thank you so much. We’ve hit 75% of our target and it closes very soon. If you’ve liked my work in parliament and across Central Scotland please donate.

You are going to kill even more trans people Wes, this is actually dangerous. HRT changes your biology, if you deny trans people appropriate screening and refuse to take account of the actual biological changes to their bodies, you will kill someone

You should be able to respond to reviewer comments with memes to liven up the peer review process.

Hi friends - I'm giving a talk about my PhD research in January over at Hallfred's Hall. You can find them on Facebook (www.facebook.com/people/Hallf...) or get in touch direct to get the Zoom link ([email protected])

I spoke in Parliament today to challenge the misinformation from those claiming this tribunal as a 'win' for the anti-trans agenda. In fact it found Ms Peggie harassed a colleague for being trans, and it dismissed almost all her claims. It also found that trans segregation is not supported in law.

Reform in Scotland have pushed islamophobia during a by-election, advocated concentration camps for asylum seekers, and now a blatantly racist attack on Glasgow's schoolchildren. Everyone who believes in equality, human rights and democracy must recognise this threat for what it is: fascism.

Excluding a minoritised group of children from social activities on the basis of threats, hate, and unjust laws is not acceptable. You don't have to accept it.

I would like any of these orgs to display an ounce of the courage that it takes any ordinary trans person to keep showing up in work and civil society every day in the midst of All This.

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

Finally got round to listening to @aspencerhall.bsky.social and Blake Gutt's podcast episode! Really excellent & enjoyable discussion on trans hagiography 😍 maxwellkuzma.substack.com/p/medieval-t...

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. They won't ever be able to get rid of us, no matter what. No amount of hateful legislation can change the fact of our existence.

For anyone feeling deep despair - I get it. There is hope, though. And Green Party membership is continuing to rise every single day. That's thousands and thousands of people coming together to demand change & to make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

We asked trans and non-binary people in Scotland about their experiences in their local neighbourhood, including how included they felt in their local community or accessing local support services and spaces.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary. The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with: “Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

Zohran and Polanski are mobilising a new type of progressive politics. One where governments work for the majority, not the wealthy minority. Where politics isn’t something done to you, but something we do together. Where hope beats millions spent on misinformation and fear. Make hope normal again.

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.

Our key concern is that the EHRC’s interpretation of the judgement has made life worse for trans people in the UK. If they believe we must always be excluded from single sex spaces, then they should be raising this as a serious human rights issue to the UK Government, not pushing for our exclusion
