For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...
Renee Nicole Good’s queerness isn’t an aside—it’s a key part of her story | Xtra Magazine
We can’t ignore the misogyny and homophobia baked into Good’s killing—and erasing her wife does just that

The dumb thing about the past couple of days is, no matter how batshit stupid / illegal / immoral / insane people think invading a country without pretext is just to get their oil, by the end of the year it won't even rank in the top ten of fucked up things Trump will be responsible for.

Harming children: the effects of the UK puberty blocker ban

The puberty blocker ban is significantly, extensively & relentlessly harming trans children now; this is not a nebulous, indistinct, unevidenced claim like those deployed by anti-trans activists

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I did it. I totally got through that two day online shoe sale without spending any money. Goals achieved!

Then they went and extended it out another 24 hours.

In the article reporting the BBC ECU’s rebuke of Martine Croxall for changing the wording of a press release, BBC News change the wording of the ECU’s findings report to add the phrase “trans ideology”.

The unrepentant lack of professionalism from BBC News is, sadly, not surprising.
In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".
Martine Croxall broke rules over 'pregnant people' facial expression, BBC says
The BBC newsreader was reading out a news bulletin about research on groups most at risk in UK heatwaves.

In 2024, the Federal Court of 🇦🇺 established that;

1~ Helen Joyce is an outstanding idiot.

2~Sex is not a binary concept, nor it is limited to M & F

3~Sex is changeable

4~Gender identity is

“Governments of all stripes should take this as a warning: you are not above the law.

Restricting trans healthcare was just a consolation prize for the ideological conservatives in the LNP who didn’t get their way on abortion.

@MoiraDeemingMP if you ask Helen Joyce, (an accountant), for her expert opinions on sex, gender, & the law, then I hope your next colonoscopy is done by a plumber.

She has zero education in biology, let alone in gender, sex or law!

In the US, the number of trans people, at least 2.8 million, is similar to many ethnic groups (there are 2 million Korean Americans, 5.5 million Chinese Americans) - where's Transtown?

Could help with housing, jobs, healthcare, media & political power. Many parts already exist in some cities. 1/
