Weird how if you’re trans and 17 and seeking gender care you’re a “child,” but if you’re assaulted by a 57-year-old man you’re an “activist”

Sigh. Yeah, "identifying as" is having a moment. Again.

I AM a woman. I DON'T "identify as". I don't "identify as" living in Chicago, being from Yorkshire, or getting increasingly pissed off with this nonsense, either.

People seem to think it's less dehumanizing than using a slur, for some reason.
“trans identifying“ is one of the worst possible turns of phrases

it is othering and dehumanizing

saying someone “identifies as having cancer” is tantamount to saying “is lying about having cancer”

i’m not choosing to be trans. “trans” is not a thing i’m ~doing~. it’s just part of who i ~am~.

One day, I hope to see Linehan receive everything he wants to inflict on trans people.
linehan has been found not guilty of harassment.

linehan has been found guilty of criminal damage.

-

really starting to wonder exactly what that man has to do to be found guilty of harassment??

he spends every day online doxxing and stalking ppl.

You know, saying this often gets me in trouble with my own community. But if you seperate for a second the hurt and pain they cause, TERFs are kinda hilarious.

They're *so* mad, to the point of being damn near feral, but can't give you the simplest explanation why without lying.

Whittaker's all shagged out, after a busy day of standing on my head and dancing the fandango on my keyboard while I work.

He's a good helper.

I got a couple more of those ridiculous blue wave / endless starter packs / no matter who accounts following me.

My patience has long since left the building. At this point, if your account is full of Newsom-is-the messiah crap, I'm assuming you're a transphobe and I'm blocking you.

Wes Streeting is a hyper object of total-misogyny - of totalising patriarchal hatred of women. of absolute oppression. Period. Prison awaits all who are involved in the deliberate decimation of women’s lives and liberties. There is no quarter on my deck. 🌊🏴‍☠️🏳️‍⚧️ ⚫️⚫️
I made this presentation for murderous lying genitally-obsessed bigot Wes Streeting.

One of these could have enormous, life-changing consequences including ostracism, unemployment, and constant media harassment.

The other is, well, you know.
cis people: trans people are WEIRD and GROSS

also cis people: here's a real brain teaser. would you rather be accused of being a little bit fruity or a paedophile? take your time, there's no easy answers here and both are equally bad.

How to do a "clinical trial" when you have an assumed conclusion, no knowledge of science, and an awareness that no-one in the institutionally transphobic media will ever call you to account.
Streeting is admitting that the Pathways “trial” already has a predetermined outcome. Stuffing it with SEGM placeholders is evidence of this.

The only way we are going to end state-mandated torture of trans kids is to get Labour out of government completely.

Home.

It's been almost 18 months now. I miss my Seattle friends, but I've never felt more comfortable or welcome than in this amazing city.

I'm fortunate to live in a neighborhood and a city with many lovely queer, immigrant, women, and bipoc-owned businesses. But they're everywhere (and online, of course). In the face of the marketing onslaught from the mainstream, they deserve your support.
Remember this shopping season:

There are businesses that capitulated to the administration like Target, Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, etc.

Shop at stores that kept inclusiveness like Costco, Best Buy and Apple. And local stores.

We're fortunate to have many accepting stores locally.

The driving force behind all of this is the idea that being trans is a horrible fate, to be "prevented" or "cured" at all costs.

See also: gay, section 28.
The trail will involve 220 children.

Meanwhile 3000 another children seeking health care for their gender dysphoria will be placed on an ‘observational’ study.

The old ‘watch and wait’ is how Alice was treated. Although this time there might be someone actually watching, this is not health care.🧵
Puberty Blocker clinical trials to begin
on the NHS

- The trial will involve around 220 children under 16
- Young people will “undergo intensive medical and psychological screening”, including Gillick competency evaluation
- Trial: Group 1 will get PBs straight away vs Group 2, 12 months later

Sigh. The traditional result. Comprehensively Bazballed by Travis Head! What an absolutely ridiculous innings.

I'm sure many of my friends remember a moment like this.

Welcome to the world, Ada! Your sisters are here for you.

Today was my first day out since starting this journey. Make-up and holiday shopping followed by a primary care visit. And perhaps for the first time in a long time, I feel like the person in the mirror is me.

I wish for Bill Maher everything he wishes for people like me.
PATTON OSWALT: These people are scared. They're being targeted. We're watching them be targeted right now. We're watching transgender people be targeted in a very aggressive way, so—

BILL MAHER: We are? Where?

OSWALT: Oh my god.

MAHER: Where are they being targeted?

For Transgender Day of Remembrance this year, please remember why we grieve. Our sadness is one of the most important biological adaptations that humans have evolved.

Because it drives us to seek each other out.

We mourn so we can come together and become strong again in community.
