"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them."

Nope, it's betrayal.

"Trans youth joy is possibility. It’s being able to imagine the future – not as an abstract idea, but as something real and reachable. But joy isn’t just an emotion for us. It’s resistance. It’s survival. It’s a declaration that we are not going anywhere.”

Who are the lawyers advising these organisations that these exclusions are the only lawful way to act? And where can I donate to help challenge these unnecessarily exclusionary policies in court?

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...
This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading. From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community. There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation. Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us. We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.

I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.

Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

The delegate at the YourParty Conference who was censured by the chair for using the word “transphobia” is trans.

This is EVEN worse than Labour, a trans person can’t even call out transphobia! Ridic.

I expect every news platform, plus every “free speech” campaigner to be up in arms about this…

The Three Ravens, Edward Frederick Brewtnall.
The Three Ravens, c. 1885, by Edward Frederick Brewtnall. The painting captures a moment of sorrow and stillness in a pastoral landscape, illustrating the seventeenth-century English folk poem of the same name. The scene is set at twilight, with a stream running through a grassy field. Three ominous black ravens are perched on the bare branches of an old tree, silhouetted against the setting sun. Below the tree, the lifeless body of a knight lies supine in the meadow. A faithful dog guards the knight's corpse. A woman (described as a "fallow doe" in the poem, a metaphor for the knight's lover) weeps over the body, her grief evident as she cradles him beside the dog.

Here: Streeting and Labour invest £10 million into manufacturing the “evidence” they need to legitimise their cruelty towards Trans+ youth

Elsewhere, in the real world: Scientists - yet again - prove that access to Trans healthcare, including HRT, dramatically benefits Trans+ young people
erininthemorning.com Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 11d
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Even Hilary Cass - who disgracefully called parents terrified that their trans kids would take their own lives if they were denied healthcare "shroud wavers" - didn't go so far as to call for a ban on puberty blockers.

Nothing Wes Streeting says turns out to be true.
Wes Streeting tweet: "Dr Cass recommended a ban on prescribing them and a clinical trial to build that evidence. Kings College London has now launched that trial."

Morris & Co
"Bird" wallpaper by Morris & Co., specifically in the "Wooded Dell" colorway. The design is a dense, regular pattern inspired by a William Morris tapestry from 1878. The pattern features a serene arrangement of paired birds alternating between perching and flight amidst branches of foliage and pomegranate-like fruit. The colours used are deep, saturated colours with a dark brown background. Contrasting warm tones of red, orange, and green are used for the birds, flowers, and leaves.
