you are on bluesky because elon musk's daughter cut him off after she came out and he thought she caught the trans from twitter, so he bought twitter hoping to prevent trans people from existing. it's why you're here, it's why the site was here when you got here.
The scale of it is unimaginable. What they're spending, the sheer amount of effort being put into opposing trans people's human rights, it's a struggle to conceptualise the extent of it.

It's why Elon Musk bought twitter.
Brianna Ghey wasn't murdered by Social Media.

Brianna Ghey was murdered by the Transphobia that is endemic to Britain.

@labouruk.bsky.social are a party to this.
Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

she was murdered by transphobic class mates.

that's a problem that @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is making worse by reintroducing section 28.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
Mine too! Same Dustcover!

I'm looking forward to reading it and perusing the pretty art!

Study after study shows that it's remarkably cheap and easy to solve the problems of homelessness and poverty with low-barrier supportive housing and universal basic income, but our own fear that someone, somewhere will get something they didn't "earn" keeps us looking for other (punitive) options.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

And people do love Dogs!

Just a dog, walking around after the worlds-end hanging out with people for a bit while fighting a local villain and the hell-beasts that live beneath the rad-wastes and the "Grezkee's" that worship them.
I know that they don't like you pitching them your post-apocalypse themed reboot of said show.
It's really good and I'm gonna watch it with a smoke and Vimto later!
It didn't do well at all, and you're right as to the reason.

But a few years from now? That's a classic midnight movie ready to go!

No-one I know in the US disliked it at all.

One of them has gotten into Gary now, so... that's me going to hell.

But oh well!
Rocket Man is mid as hell, but everyone gives it their all!

Better Man is fantastic and will rank with Iron Giant, Galaxy Quest, and Hackers, one day!

This is very important. The state must not be permitted to introduce a new sterilisation requirement for trans people seeking formal legal gender recognition.
An incredibly important third win in a row in our ongoing fight for the rights and dignities of trans people

Over 50,000 cis women have signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social open letter rejecting the narrative that trans women are a danger to women.

The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence.

As ever, Katja coming in with the 10/10 quote here.

One thing I've really come to believe in the past several years, working in this area: ALWAYS look at the researcher's history. If there was ever any objectivity in research, it's been dead and buried for some time now. Bias & hate are rampant.
"Kaufmann’s report was wildly inaccurate, riddled with fallacies and errors. Perhaps most significantly, as data scientist Jacob Eliason wrote, Kaufmann appears to have used only the raw dataset from FIRE’s student surveys, rather than the weighted data, adjusted to represent a target population."
Right-Wingers Celebrate Flawed Study Claiming a "Decline" in Trans Identity
One data scientist called the report “dead on arrival” over its inaccuracies.
