FYI to trans people: HRT Cafe has apparently shut down after too much media attention. Please, take advice from an old trans woman: Take those discussions underground. All of them. Anything that discusses what we need to survive & where to get it. Word of mouth and private forums only!

For those of you still cross-posting on Twitter, chances are Katy just gave up a bigger platform than you have, built on more work and sacrifice. If she can do it, so can you. Perform an act of self care today and delete your X "the app for horrible bastards" profile.

When did we ever think Stonewall - who class weapons companies BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon as "Diversity Champions" - represent us? Of course they'd eventually give in to transphobia. Solidarity over charity. Action over complicity. Liberation over assimilation. xoxo BASH BACK

1. Major alert: Trump's anti-trans co-author Moti Gorin will be presenting with Kaltiala and Montante. These are conversion therapy advocates with intense anti-trans ties to hate groups around the world. Now they'll be teaching pediatricians THIS FRIDAY. Subscribe to support our journalism.

GIRLS WE NEED TO SIGN THIS. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!!!!!!!!

These people want to eliminate trans people. Helen Joyce said as much, it's really that simple. They want to make our lives unliveable, drive us back into the closet, out of public life and worse. It's time for nice liberal columnists, politicians, policy wonks to be braver in calling this out.

I think we should ban parenthood. The regret rate is way too high among cisgenders. Cisgenderism is a threat to society.

This story is also true! 🙂 In the 1990s, offering a Windows desktop theme was a way of promoting your production. Of course, it needed to run on every PC, so I had to stick to the fixed 16-color CGA palette. 😅

Intriguing. Growing up ‘heteroflexible’ wasn’t something I saw used as a way to SELF identify; it was a way to label a guy who everyone else thought might be bi or gay but nobody would ask bc that would be awkward. That’s not to invalidate if you use it — it’s just fascinating to see this change.

Ok, this site started with good ideas and it will destroy itself because the Bluesky team operate on power trip, resentment towards users, lack of technical skills and no interest of acquiring them. I'm not even starting on the "Waffle couple" allegations by now LoL

More local useful union news instead of the dribble dumb useless news coming out of the beltway!!!

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

Happy lesbian visibility week 💗 #pixelart #ドット絵

im sure this is entirely unrelated to the uptick in posts this past week blaming the left for kamala losing

Write to Stonewall. • Tell them you supported them in the past. • Tell them why you won’t be supporting transphobia. Cut direct debts. Don’t by the merch. Tell your direct contacts.

I still think about the ORAS review to this day. The dominance of water type Pokemon causing game balance issues was a legitimate problem but nobody read the review. People saw the “Too Much Water” bullet point and harassed the reviewer. The same kind of people probably need AI summaries of Articles

If you can’t see the MAGA parallels you’re not paying attention

Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.

The protests are protected by the right to Freedom of Speech… …you can’t be a “Free Speech Absolutist” unless you protect those too. They don’t.

Therapy is great. I love therapy. However, no amount of therapy will ever erase the chronic stress caused by not having your needs met. Food insecurity, homelessness, poverty, chronic debts, and other life stressors from wealth inequality can’t be erased by even the best therapists and medications

We, as a community and as individuals, are running on fumes.

They may not be using physical violence, but make no mistake this government is killing us.

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

This is very bad. She is an especially dangerous piece of shit

In the UK today the de facto position is that you can be subsidized by the taxpayer, through charitable tax relief, to campaign for the pathologisation and elimination of a group nominally protected by the Equality Act, but not for its protection.

Each new chair of Stonewall seems further out of step with the times to the point where it has been effectively transphobic for several years now But praising Rowling in this way is a new low, an actual gut punch

Well, all of this sounds unacceptable to me. I don't care that Rowling and filth like her have felt negatively opposed for their views. They should feel that way. I don't want to listen to JKR or engage with her kind on any level. They're hateful bigots; they deserve scorn, not warm praise.

Rowling's single mother charity gingerbread had to close its phone lines due to lack of funds the same week she announced her transphobic women's funds. Look at her priorities not her PR. How do people keep getting spellbound by her, it would be an insult to real wicca to call this witchcraft.

Here's the rub: The OSA does nothing to protect children, in fact it makes building safe spaces for them dramatically harder, and everything to complicate and imperil adults with the the risk of data and identity theft. And a blind man could see it. It's data harvesting as security theatre.

I have just spent the last few hours completely writing this in full, i answered all the questions, but i did not hold back hammering home how much the UK government has screwed the likes of me over and my acivities here in the UK. If you are a fellow UKer, please sign this as soon as possible!

I really like Hannah, she’s clearly supportive of us and I loved our mention in her maiden speech. It’s good to see she’s signed.

Found a couple of legit GBA games in box at the carboot sale today!! Dude bought them from rental stores as they were shutting down, so had a lot of copies of a few games

Since we hit 3.6 much quicker than I thought I would, lets have another starter pack! Lets biuld up some artists under 5k! Plenty of room, feel free to leave a comment showing some of your work if you'd like an add! #artistsupport #starterpack #ocartist go.bsky.app/U16asMc

Multiple peer reviewed studies in high impact journals have shown a substantial benefit of gender affirming care for trans youth. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon's penis for "further study" says this care is dangerous. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Just a little reminder that security experts routinely say that biometrics are actually do very poorly as a security measure. Not just for technical reasons, either. Imagine a password that you can't change after being informed it was compromised in a hack on a company that forgot to encrypt shit.
