I’m unfollowing accounts posting Boomer Facebook style “repost if you agree” photos with “inspiring” messages without ALT text especially when they’re AI.

The point of this site is saying things.

Say something cool.

Say something uncool..

Say anything at all…

Believing in letting people be themselves, equality of treatment, fair distribution of resources, contribution by reference to means and distribution according to needs is just being part of a family.

It’s not even political: it’s just the obvious way that things work best.

New Podcast Episode: The Gender Clinic Files Part 1

In this episode:

How Wes Streeting used out of date information

A look at the centuries-long waiting list

How newer clinics are doing much more with less, compared to the old GIC system.

And more!

What the trans logo at the top. Episode 141 below, and below that "the gender clinic files". On the left is a pair of swallows which highlights some good news in Estonia. On the right unfortunately is Wes streeting. Below him is the text "part 1, in collaboration with Queeraf" To the left is the fantastic Claire Prosho. And to the left is another face.

Shameless bullying by odious little tin soldier Jenrick of people who just want to serve the public.

This shouldn’t be worth taking seriously ofc, bar the manifest risk that our politics will now dissolve into an auction over how many judges each party promises to sack.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Here’s an example of someone (not a sailor) using the “I like women” defence in a trial for sodemy.

In 1761.

There are repeated cases from the time relating to men on board ship sleeping with one another. Reflecting on that via the most famous Admiral of all time kissing his beloved Captain isn’t even revisionist; it’s just good history communication.

TLDR?

Bi. People. Exist.

I've said it before and I'll say it again

racists, transphobes and bigots more generally are absolutely objectively and factually those things.

But they truly do not believe they are not for any real reason. they just know those things are bad and refuse to accept them about themselves.

An incredible article casting serious doubt on claims made by transphobes, about conversion therapy for trans kids. The 1987 publication upon which their claims are based, is thoroughly discredited, it cannot justify the claims it makes.

TW: Conversion therapy
An autoethnographic critique of a past report of inpatient psychiatric treatment for gender diverse children
Contrary to ongoing representations of efficacy, “therapy” that aimed to change or suppress a gender diverse child served to delay self-acceptance for two decades and caused long term harm
