It seems terfs have a problem with trans women's height.

I hope they don't visit the Netherlands too often then.

But it pleases me that at >2m tall, I boil the piss of every terf on sight.

The reality is that cis voices are prioritised over trans voices. Real allyship requires us to exploit this to gain access to media & political support WITHOUT EVER speaking over the trans community. If it is to work and not be another org pushing trans ppl aside, it MUST get this balance right

My role is to protect & defend my child, but I will never be inside of her experience in the way that trans adults are. As an autistic person, I hate the way that autism mums centre themselves in all discussions, paint themselves as "brave warriors" and worthy of respect for doing the bare minimum

As a parent to a trans teen I'm following with caution. There is a need for vocally supportive & affirmative parents to counteract the likes of Bayswater & Esther Ghey types. But I am concerned that ths could go the way of many autism/disability parent groups where those experiences are centred
Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones.

We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.
Indeed. See also Debbie Hayton.
I'm sure they could find any number of excuses to nick them, it doesn't take much if they really want to.
The 2019 CCCamp badge, German hacker camp, was a wristwatch.

On the back it said "Nicht Für Nazis". (Not For Nazis)

Screw on the supplied strap and bracket, and it said "Für Nazis".
Every year I go to BornHack, and I love it that the Danes have taken to the 'dog.

Meanwhile the Dutch barely know what one is and you can't buy decent hotdog buns
Maybe it's cos those people all read Hackaday.
Believe me, if they thought thete was merit in Bash Back or Trans Kids Deserve Better destroying the trans movement, the coverage wpuld be wall to wall.
From a journalist perspective I find it fascinating how little coverage both groups are getting from an institutionally captured media. This tells me they aren't turning people against their cause, and the terfs are running scared that more coverage would harm them not the trans community.
... but as a direct action group they are no dpubt prepared to live with that.

I think Trans Kids Deserve Better hit more of a sweet spot because they're kids and arresting kids is a bad look, and while things like camping on the facade of the DoH may be illegal, they're perfectly nuanced to annoy.
Any direct action campaign has to be nuanced, and just stop oil are a great example of a group who lost that nuance.

I don't think Bash Back have crossed that line in that outside a few terfs, nobody is that affected.

What they are doing is definitely illegal and they may get caught ...
Every week or so I see a cool new queer radical web magazine, but they NEVER want a technology correspondent!
Well done Glamour magazine for featuring a grpup of ypung and achingly cisnormative trans women.

It's a start.
Surely that's the nature of direct action protest, isn't it?

I can think of several direct action protests over past decades that you may well have supported, for example some of the things in support of the Countryside Alliance, or the fuel protests. Both of which at times did equivalent things.
Have fun at Supercon everyone.
Wow. There's a TERFopedia bedspread!

Best contraceptive ever, I imagine.
I wonder if anyone has purchased the TERF bed set?
The interesting thing about this is how effortlessly and unselfconsciously it links far-right extremists to each other in lovely pastel shades. Lovely stuff. 😆

Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

THE PEOPLE CRAVE TRAINS
The Greens look hopeful, it's true.
I was a Liberal Democrat. Not sure I still am now.
