THE SAME PEOPLE CALLING US "VIOLENT" AND "DISGUSTING" ARE NOW MOCKING THE DEATH OF A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL

WHAT DO THEY EXPECT? FOR US TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP WHILE THEY MOCK US FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE? TO TAKE THE PUNCHES AND NOT RETALIATE?

NO MORE TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK.

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice

I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

Everyone especially Democrats who are scared or dare I say cowardly to talk about trans issues should read this.

Imagine the burden of having to hide, for the rest of your life, that you worked for the MAGA Gestapo, because you know that plenty of perfectly ordinary people would probably straight up murder you for it and unceremoniously throw your body in a ditch then go on with their lives with zero guilt

They might be a bit torn, because they will also have a bias for “good telly”

As a transgender woman trying to just live a simple quiet life in the UK, I'm pretty well placed to say this paragraph is complete bullshit and this government are shameless liars as well as hateful bigots who are actively shutting me out of participation in society.

yeah, i think i noticed the "gruel" thing a while back and forgot about it again. the onomatopoeia is completely dominant in my head. 😀 either way, still not an appetising thought... although, looking [again] at what gruel actually is... doesn't seem all that bad really, as long as it's hot...

well, it might be if Apple Passwords worked on Linux too. 😀

(I am aware other password managers besides 1Password work on Linux. Just that Apple Passwords, which I presume is what you mean by the sherlocking ref, isn't one of them. 😀)

Maybe they’re the kind of people that don’t actually like food, are disgusted by the idea of eating. It’s just fuel for them… wait, is it meant to be a play on “fuel”?

And *this* is how its done.

Take note, UK milquetoast politicians who are supposedly 'allies'.

*This* is how Labour should have treated our community, instead of leaning into hate & bolstering EHRC bigotry.

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.

the law has never defeated the fascists; often enough it sits on their side. only when they're beaten down by force of arms can the law come back into the room and put a noble gloss on stringing up the leftovers.
