Lads can we stop with the "hahahaha trans men can go and shock all the ladies with their beardy muscley-ness" whenever trans women are banned from something.
1. Cos the EHRC "guidance" literally said we can't use the ladies' if we are masculine-appearing but can't use the gents' either! /1

Grunty men doing bicep curls with too much weight and bad form are the most pathetically laughable men in existence.

I've found the 1973 Doyly Carte HMS Pinafore which my grandad had on VHS! It's on YouTube now. The costumes are terrible and Dick Deadeye fails absolutely every EDI course going, but it's camp as Christmas and I love it.
Also John Reed, what a legend.

THIS is what billionaires should be getting angry about and funding to stop, not whether trans women are making sponge cakes or trans girls learning to make campfires or help old ladies pack their shopping bags!
Women’s prisons report finds 97 deaths in decade as self-harm hits record high
Women’s prisons report finds 97 deaths in decade as self-harm hits record high
Charity director warns ‘more deaths will follow’ unless government changes tack and closes women’s prisons
Over the past decade 97 women have died in prisons in England and Wales, as incidents of self-harm among female prisoners reach the highest level on record, a new report has found.
Inquest, the charity that produced the report, collated Ministry of Justice (MoJ) figures since 2015 to arrive at a total number of deaths. It said the numbers were evidence for its case that all women’s prisons should be closed. Continue reading...

My previous two posts were moderately in jest. But, the WI and Girl Guides rulings have really upset me.
1) trans people are not safeguarding risks just cos we're trans!
2) wtf does anyone's genitals-at-birth have to do with making cakes and jam?!
3) stop taking away our chance to do nice things!

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.
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

It's been good seeing cis allies speaking up this week. Thanks, allies! 🥰
I'd love to carry on the conversations, but remember that trans men, mascs and NB afab ppl can add a LOT to the conversation!
Things I'd like to see proper convos about:
-periods, endo and PCOS
-pelvic floor health /1

The EHRC's suggested "guidance" leaked yesterday is a licence to pick on anyone who looks different from a mythical idea of manhood or womanhood.
It takes me right back to school PE lessons where the mean girls laughed at girls who were chubby, had even a wisp of body hair or had short hair.

I am a trans guy who passes very well, so ironically I'll probably be fine, but I have cis female friends with PCOS who have already been challenged cos "we can always tell"...
How they can say they're treating trans ppl with "dignity and respect" when they do this is beyond me!

Are you a slightly effeminate man or a somewhat butch woman, or do you know literally anyone looking like that? Then this crap affects you. It's a charter for bullies to cause harm, and nothing more.
You're not asking trans people. You're asking all people. This affects us all. Anyone could be barred from services based on appearance. Since, surprisingly we all have a fecking appearance

Parklife and a sleepy cat.
He hasn't been well and we feared we would lose him. We have a reprieve, for now. But it's made time with him even more precious.
And trees are cool. And sunsets. Need more of them!

Fellow trans ppl and allies in the UK: all that wonderful energy we've put into writing to our MPs about the Supreme Court ruling, we now need to be doing about the hideous proposals on asylum by the government. Solidarity is needed now more than ever.

Absolutely agree. I don't recognise my country at the moment and am so ashamed of nearly all our political leaders who are leading or passively allowing this to happen.
For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.
