The Railway Museum in York is doing a fantastic thing collecting oral histories of LGBTQIA+ people connected with the UK railway (+Eurostar) - I'd greatly encourage supporting them! Queers like trains right? www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/research-and...

Occasionally all the waiting and careful work involved in transition *really* drags. Can feel like I'm standing still. Despite looking back at how far I've come and how much I've done so recently.

You have to understand that all ‘gender critical’ transphobes want trans people to be forcibly outed (regardless of whether they ‘pass’) and to be forced to actively acknowledge their ‘sex’ at every occasion as a form of ‘punishment’ for daring to think they could exist outside of the ‘sex binary’.

Bought this online, for "a Halloween costume". Definitely no other uses for it. 😇

This is fucking awful, the poor kids 😢

Important if challenging one this one, as misinformation on the supposed benefits of weight loss and regain definitely reached me a while back (thankfully I asked people and was told it doesn't work that way).

I am not very well practiced at the emotional intelligence to handle sexuality and relationships, but *holy shit* some trans women make me look like a paragon (Not about me, nobody has hurt me)

hi Sneakers!!!!

Often trans-specific groups (and friend groups) in this city are full of people younger than me. I occasionally feel weird about this, but then I remember there's a *reason* there are less of us about from my generation (and older than me)

TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO PROSPER TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO LOVE TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO MAKE MISTAKES AND BE FORGIVEN TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE EQUALITY JUST SAYING THEY SHOULD EXIST IS WEAK IN 2025. THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THE FULL SPECTRUM THAT LIFE OFFERS PASS IT THE FUCK ON!!! 💙💙💗💗🤍🤍💗💗💙💙 💙💙💗💗🤍🤍💗💗💙💙

My Friday afternoon music recommendation is Seabound's Double-Crosser, an album entirely about kink, revenge, regret, and power. Absolutely nothing like it out there lyrically (and the music fucking bangs too). #MusicSky tidal.com/album/175078...

How I Became Invisible - “Kenopsia”

Random thing from the other week. Swimming pool wouldn't let me go swimming in a mask - apparently "anything covering nose we need to move if we have to do CPR, and it's another thing slowing us down". I've literally done CPR. This would in no way be anywhere near top of list of worries.

I like mixing it up but today we're sticking with my core stream game: #FinalFantasyXIV! Fenna hired a retainer yesterday (Polly-Wren), and found a place for Lady Yugiri to teach her roguish craft. More story today! 😊 www.twitch.tv/bubbleraven_/ #lgbtqia #ffxiv #twitch

A little ADHD-infused variety for today's stream! I saw #cultofthelamb on sale on Steam and had to grab it. So stop by for culty shenanigans!! ^_^ www.twitch.tv/bubbleraven_/

It really does a number on trans women in particular, because we're taught from the earliest parts of childhood that femininity is shameful and wrong, but we have a much harder time than cis men do of conforming to masculine gender roles ❤️‍🩹

Hi, so I'm trans and my fear is that with this government's anti-trans stance I'll end up having to carry a card that outs me as trans and that I'm obliged to show on many occasions; the exact occasions where discrimination against trans people hits hardest & is easiest to hide (housing, employment)

Today's outfit (no makeup)

Bought off Vinted for a "Halloween party costume". I have no other purposes for it honest.

just found a bullet casing with the entire bee movie script on it

1) fuck offfff with the ID thing 2) if they try to insist I'm male on it I will be fucking angry (or require something intrusive like grc, not like drivers license which is easy to change)

Finally recreated my first shoot! Been meaning to since I got FFS. Keep an eye out for previews. Full set might be private sale only, given content restrictions on fansly and other platforms .

Did anyone else get told growing up that once in our teenage years everyone will have one dream where we leave our body for real on a cord and if it breaks we die for real? This is a distinct memory beong told such but nobody else has heard of it

Concept: the getalong sounding rod (double ended)

Annoys me when you go to change name with a place, then they email you asking for follow up documentation *using the old name*

I like the softness of this pic

Seeing discussion elsewhere around that Tory (eww) trans former MP. Is it likely to be the case generally that if changing name by deed poll etc, updating passport mandatory to avoid being at legal risk of "false ID"?

"The British Army tried to suppress a report revealing that female soldiers were locking themselves in their bedrooms at night to avoid sexual assault by drunken male comrades." [Tiny piece in the Times p13]

Domme who waits for you to get just far enough into HRT to feel your face is getting pretty then puts you in a hood to deny you the pleasure of feeling euphoria while she fucks you up

I've been involved in 2x Horizon Europe bids that submitted today. Potential 20m euros of research activity between 34 partners in 8 countries. They took a lot of work - even though I wasn't coordinating this time round. Much respect to the teams for getting us across the line! Fingers crossed...

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

I am allowed to take up space. Pass it on.
