A useful reminder...

🧵 When was the first queer riot in the US? Historian Denny Nevins argues it was in the Los Guilucos School for Girls in 1953. On March 19th, dozens rioted against the juvenile detention home. Over 1/3 of the girls, aged 11-17, were queer. Many were there *because* they were queer.

love this. And so true.

QueerAF speaks to experts and victims of Trans+ sports bans about how this might be a breach of their right to privacy, which could see legal challenges https://www.wearequeeraf.com/i-had-to-out-myself-are-sports-bodies-violating-trans-peoples-right-to-privacy/

It's hard to find of a better comparison The USA is in the direct process of ensuring the genocide of all trans people in the country. That's fact not hearsay www.damemagazine.com/2025/09/08/t... All states must provide asylum to any trans person seeking shelter from the USA

I have reached the regrettable conclusion that the trans person's great stumbling block in our stride to freedom is not the terf or the bigot, but the cis moderate, who is more devoted to comfort than to justice; who prefers the absence of stress to the presence of equality All for a pay check....

*sigh*

🏳️‍⚧️ Who is the most trusted party on trans rights? To nobody's surprise, it's The Green Party with a net trust rating of +52 amongst trans people. No other party has a positive rating (not even the LDs). Via @YouGov / @GoodLawProject, 23 Jul-11 Aug

We have formally reported the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI), calling for a full investigation and a downgrade or removal of their A-status accreditation. Full submission: tacc.org.uk/2025/10/23/p... 1/2

Yeah all of this.

This is wonderful news!

This is actually quite beautiful. I can't believe this got past the cynic in me,,,

Impressively argued whilst being clearly harangued by the 'chat hosts' or whatever they think they are doing I am so glad @zackpolanski.bsky.social won, by so much - and has honestly been far more than I expected, and I was expecting a lot The only left way is Green, the only fair way is Green!

The ripple effect that most cis people simply don't realise *EVERY* facet of a trans person's lives is being made more difficult now From the large to the small, more risk is the goal of violence, cancer, discrimination All to force trans people out of social, political, legal existence in the UK

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe. 🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations) 🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved... rm.coe.int/letter-to-pa...

Yes. Your read that correctly. This is Segregation. That's where we are in the current stage of capitalism.

Happy Indigenous Peoples day! Also, go buy Coyote and Crow*. It is most excellent!** . . . . . . . *I own it, was a funder for **I'm really sorry*** if you heard this in bill and ted voices and then did a tiny air guitar sound . . . . ***I'm not sorry really

Good on them. Following the long, proud tradition of suffragettes smashing shit up in protest at their lack of equality You know, just like trans women are treated unequally to cis women, and the hate groups having the 'conference' are the people fighting to make it even worse for trans people...

Apparently Your Party relaunched recently? Yeah but no. I'm here to watch @zackpolanski.bsky.social call racist fascists racist fascists on national TV.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I? The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us. Folks - want a better country? Join.greenparty.org.uk

Guardian writer says they don't lie. Gets mass responded to by a bunch of trans people saying "um... excuse me?"

We all knew this, but it's good to have some real detail on why the CASS review, used to justify the removal of treatment for trans adolescents, was simply a shoddy excuse by anti-trans Labour Party members, in conjunction with anti-trans extremists, to deny care to a vulnerable minority group

Literally this is how all anti trans people act Thank you @assignedmale.bsky.social for being so spot on as usual

unsurprising that this has happened. Disgraceful and outrageous, but unsurprising. This government, and it's pet the EHRC, are truly awful

Which is funny, because the blue tories in the 10s, the purple tories in the 00s and 20s all did such a bang up job on running down the military, starting wars we shouldn't have been involved in, overseeing genocide, and funnelling more wealth to the rich from the poor than at any time in the past

So. Academia.edu changed their terms... here's my response. You're welcome

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

ah... I knew it wouldn't take long. yes, this is how they will enforce the permanent outing of trans people... Blair tried to do this in the 00's, during the so-called 'war on terror' and thankfully got stopped. Really hoping that can happen again

Excellent piece by @notrightruth.bsky.social about trans community as the antidote to trans despair. ruthpearce.net/2025/09/25/r...

Virgin Active call themselves an LGBTQ+ ally, but decided to ban trans people from using their changing rooms and bathrooms... so we created a new slogan for them 👀 We need to make make as much noise as possible and make Virgin Active feel the pressure. Will you join us? 👇 goodlaw.social/d922

Awwww When the world is turning to shit, an emotional support red panda is just what we need to see 😍

Wow. They just designated a group that doesn't exist a 'terrorist organisation' What they will do now is label anyone they want an antifascist to justify arrest and persecution Which is obviously bloody stupid because it literally just makes the USA government an actual fashist state now but...

be trans, do crime!

When it comes to seeing a really bad idea, this is at least 5 of them. Hallucination Algorithms, or 'Generative AI', or 'Large Language Models' are not conductive to education. They are the opposite

note to self. Add all these to my 'News' bookmarks folder!

If I had any kind of account with Nationwide, I would be informing them I'm closing it in 30 days, unless they publicly repudiate and fire Perry www.theguardian.com/business/202...

.... ffs

some people are hanging around waiting for 'your party' in the increasingly vain hope that Sultana and Corbyn will create the perfect, ethical, lefty socialist party that magically accommodates centrists 'n lefties Others are joining the Greens Because that lefty party actually already exists

An excellent analysis of the current situation. You should definitely read, and share, widely.

deep truth this

"we're not transphobic!" -transphobic proverb.

You know that thing Star Trek Strange New Worlds did in their last episode? The ancient evil, battles between magic level powers? Babylon 5 did it so much better Even DS9 did it so much better This last season has been such a disappointment, in so many ways. Bring back Disco. Please

It's time to remind yourself that Elon Musk is an illegal immigrant in the USA, and he was invited to speak at that march that was supposedly about the evils of immigration Call it what it was A White Supremacy March cultivating the grounds for the establishment of a fascist state thought violence

It's useful to be reminded that the recent UK White Supremacy march last weekend in London wasn't just by less-than-mediocre-cis-het-racist-white-guys. There were also some incredibly-mediocre-cis-het-racist-white-gals there too

Just discovered @citystgeorges.bsky.social's Vice Chancellor has a blog Over the summer he oversaw the rewriting of CitySG's trans inclusion policy so it's a cruelly trans exclusionary instead (+ a gender crit free speech defence policy) Here he is joking about it substack.com/home/post/p-...

🤣

The Groyper Wars

www.transsolidarityalliance.com/businesses-o... "We, the undersigned businesses and organisations, are writing to express our deep concern at proposals seeking to enforce blanket, mandatory exclusion of trans people from gendered spaces and services." Can your business to sign this open letter?

Not heard of Charlie Kirk before. What a dick But it's clear that his death, quite possibly orchestrated by Trump et al. is being used to to establish a need for a 'crystal night' against the democrats (and of course trans people) I'm not celebrating his death, I'm terrified of its consequences 1/
