And Bluesky didn’t even wait two weeks before they suspended one of the biggest Palestinian voices on this app. Lexi Alexander @lexialex.bsky.social is suspended again.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen
WCK’s mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza

This is important. I’ve fallen for Pink News’s click bait reporting of the M&S bra fitting story and contributed to fear and anxiety in the trans community. I’m sorry.
It looks like M&S are fully supportive of trans staff and customers.
I don’t understand why M&S haven’t made a statement.

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.

Civility or respectability politics are the way that the Right/fascism have undermined discourse - something the centre-Left have facilitated, whether out of naiveté or convenience.
You can't outline or respond honestly to their cruelty - but their cruelty is special, equal to human decency.

Feel like this little sob story *could* have mentioned that Boyne's Polari nomination came five days after he wrote a piece referring to trans-inclusive women as the evil wives in the Handmaid's Tale, "ready to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her".

This is some nonsense
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people
reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Not only did trans people tell you that this is exactly what was going to happen by mainstreaming transphobic bathroom panics, the "Gender Critical" hate movement made it clear they knew it would happen and that gender non-conforming women would be "acceptable casualties" and you still helped them.
