Oh fuck I missed a syllable. It’s 2025 and we have autocorrect that can’t even fix up a frog chorus.

If consent was given and having a penis wasn’t relevant, probably. If the trans woman (there’s a space by the way) knew the cis woman was transphobic and concealed being trans in order to have sex with her, probably not.

Yes!

This is astonishing. But that’s at least in part because of how feeble any other political leader’s expression ever is of their support for trans rights. And perhaps how much I’ve been conditioned to believe that’s all we can expect.

A politician made an advert about how they support trans people. Yes it’s not my city, or even my country, but the idea that a public political figure can dedicate time to support us is amazing and heartening. And that it’s so rare is depressing.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Completely normal to be scared but you’ve got this, and all the good people around you whatever happens.

That's precisely the point. I wish to be in a echo chamber of people who don't debate my existence.

Some film camera pictures of Cambridge I took on a photo walk with @joalo.bsky.social last month

A black wooden sign on a whitewashed wall, in white block capitals on it reading NO THOROUGHFARE FOR CARRIAGES OR HORSES. Below is the date 24th March 1857

The morning sun strikes an eagle sitting above the arms of St John’s College. Below the arms are the black iron gates with the text SOUVENT ME SOUVIENT written on them in gold.

The roofs and towers of Trinity and St John’s College in the morning sun. Only the tower in the background is fully lit by the golden light.

Looking into the sunlight from the Senate House, the Cambridge University Bookshop is on the left in shadow and Great St Mary’s Church is on the right. The sun shines brightly between them, casting the shadow of a lone cyclist over the cobbles.

Don’t want a discussion. The point of reporting your account in this thread is to add it to a blocklist of transphobic accounts.
