Whatever else I do in 2025, I promise this to you:

I will always celebrate my trans family's thirst posts, W's, and little moments of joy.

And I will always commiserate with y'alls losses, struggles, and pain.

There's not enough of that in this world, and there should be. 💜

SEEN Police Official Open Public Network @seenpoliceuk.bsky.social · 2h

SEEN Police UK state the drop in number of hate crimes against trans people is fraud, as GMP are taken to Judicial Review after a secret policy of refusing to deal with ANY reports of hate crimes against trans people is obtained.

How far does this go? This ‘data’ is shit

By the way, Bluesky, there is an irony here that is not lost on me.

If I had long hair in this picture and "looked female" this would be put behind an adult content hurdle.

Yet I have more tiddy out here than in most of my selfies that get marked as porn.

...but am presenting "male" so it's shown

It's two and a half years since Scotland tried to introduce their reformed Gender Recognition Act. (Jan 2023)

And they were swiftly put in place by Westminster, had their First Minister discredited and silenced with a dubious lawsuit, and then had some bland 'yes man' put in to replace her.

Stock image sites are overrun with ridiculous AI slop. Someday someone is gonna get this garbage tattooed on themselves and try to pass it off as a parasauralophus because their artist didn’t know better. #paleoart

A screenshot from the stock image website PNGTree, purportedly a stock image of a parasauralophus, but in fact a strange AI-generated dinosaur-like beast with one horn sort of attached to its head where the creature would be and one long tusk (?) growing from its upper jaw. The head looks like a T-Rex, but sad? Its posture is vaguely like a four-footed hadrosaur, but the limb and body proportions are more like a fantasy dragon, as is the tail.

Nothing says "we're a lefty party!" like threatening to cut funding and shut down universities for not banning anti-genocide protests.
This is the "free speech watchdog" who fined Sussex university, Brighton, for not being transphobic enough and not stamping out trans people protesting harder.

Universities risk sanctions over Gaza protests, watchdog says

Arif Ahmed says freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to harass and discriminate Jewish students.

In the UK and the USA, trans people aren't even considered humans.

Here in Manitoba, E and progesterone (and probably spirono) are *literally free*. Informed consent and free pills.

What a difference, and it proves all their "legitimate concerns" are bullshit. All pure bullshit and bigotry.

people's opinions of whether or not bluesky moderation is doing a good job or not is entirely based on the material realities of whether they're the ones being censored or not.

folks who have never had a tame "look at my cute outfit" selfie labeled pornography, have no idea what that feels like.
