"Take the phone away" is the first item on the list of action recommended by anti-trans parents' orgs.
Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

Transphobes absolutely know who “pregnant people” was for and you’ve gotta stop helping them get away with it with your “haha! they still don’t know trans men exist!” - they want you to say that!
transphobes tie it to trans women for reasons twofold - another excuse to demonise trans women despite knowing who the words are for, and willfully erase trans men et al. who they *know* the words are for

Each month my biggest worry is keeping a safe home for my children.
This month, we need £500 for rent before the 15th— without it, we’ll have nowhere to go. 💔
If just 17 people give £30 each, you’ll keep a roof over my children’s heads for one more month —
a month of warmth, safety, and dignity.❤️🙏

Wednesday is approaching, bringing wind, rain, and bitter cold. We are in a torn tent, and my kids have no clothes. We urgently need $500 to save my kids before they die from the cold, as we lie exposed to the wind

Abdullah told me he’s spent weeks at the hospital with his brother. He managed to have surgery to fix the blood clots but now the doctors think he needs a skin graft to save his leg. He is hoping to raise money for the surgery.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abdullah. Abdullah was a tailor. He is very worried about his brother Ismail who is at risk of losing his leg after it was run over at an aid distribution site. He’s also taking care of Ismail’s children Tayseer, 15, Sahar, 12 and Hoor, 8.

Do something Dick Cheney would have hated and help a Palestinian family ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Reham. Reham is the primary caregiver for her 3 children Joan, 7, Emad, 6 and Kenan, 4. Her husband has a chronic illness and unfortunately cannot help much. They recently were able to return to their home but found it completely destroyed.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.
