If she'd been married and lied about being single or if she'd been a convicted abuser and lied about that she would not be going to jail.

People lie all the time before sex, during sex and after sex.

If you're trans, that's a crime.

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Being highly intelligent doesn't necessarily mean being better at emotional regulation.

In fact, experiencing intellectual development early is actually associated with neurodivergent conditions that impact emotional regulation, including autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities

'I'd have to think about it' is a good answer. I saw the interview clip. It was a healthy genuine response to a heated & emotive moral dilemma hypothetical q. That's what you want, someone who doesn't react in a knee jerk manner and weighs up the best response for the most effective outcome.

This is a stupid fucking question to expect her to answer perfectly on the hoof. What the fuck even is this?

It's eternally frustrating that the HSE has the blinkers on & only looks to UK when it comes to trans healthcare when Spain & Malta are right there! In Spain I can walk into a pharmacist & get estrogen patches. No GP, no traumatic assessments. Just medicine without the bullshit and no one is harmed.

I’m at the Oslo trans healthcare conference today and have just been listening to Rosa Almiral of the Spanish trans healthcare service say “We have a waiting list of three weeks.” !!!!!!!!!!

CASE has also published today a useful explainer on the background to the case, in which O'Malley's action has resulted in suppression for the last 9 months of the entire LGBTQI+ special edition of the Journal of Irish Counsellors & Psychotherapists.

Significant blow today for Stella O'Malley & her anti-trans advocacy organisation Genspect, as their spurious defamation action against Irish therapist, Leonie O'Dowd, is added to "The Gallery of Shame" by CASE (Campaign Against SLAPPs in Europe.) www.the-case.eu/gallery-of-s...

It's wild that people will deride this crap but the trans stuff? Yeah that's fine

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

TW: child suicide.

The NHS continues to fail trans kids.

This child’s suicide was preventable, the coroner said, but not by the NHS as it is currently operating.

17-year-old trans girl's suicide over NHS wait times was preventable says coroner

A 17-year-old trans girl's death by suicide over NHS wait times could have been prevented with swift intervention, a coroner has ruled.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I've an important meeting in 20 mins so he has to go in the crate and be with his other mam and I really don't want to disturb him 😭 I hate when he's being incredibly cute and annoying at the same time and makes me laugh while I'm loosing my temper.

You'd think butter wouldn't melt in his mouth! He's been a very annoying teenager this past few days. When he's not getting attention while I eat breakfast he grabs the pillows & tries to get me to chase him. Yesterday he stole my polling card from the letterbox and tore it up. #Anarchist

Paperback Paradise @paperbackparadise.bsky.social · 1d

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

HOW DID DRACULA GET RICH?

Selling Frankenstein’s Feet Pix Online
By Herman Baldsack

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

Got to love Dublin. #Speirgorm

Picture of a large junction box on the street at the top of Kildare Street at Stephen’s Green in Dublin, Ireland. On it is painted a very large, angry-looking seagull in front of two wooden gates. Two tiny people, dwarfed by the seagull, appear to be running from it, one on either side of the lower front of the image. The text over the gates reads St Stephen’s Green. The signature in the lower right of the image says M. Fitz 25.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Typewriter Skeleton @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social · 2d

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

I do find it kinda baffling that the government took something like 1.5billion out of the economy just to reduce the already reduced vat rate on restaurants and hotels and stuff rather than literally anything else. It's just absolutely wild to me! #SpeirGorm
