Was gifted this beautiful blood and charcoal painting from my pal today

A painting on a wall of grays and black and red, below it a unit full of compact discs and cassettes

A close up of the painting. A canvas with lines of charcoal and blood mixed with charcoal

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

We don’t have anything on you tube unfortunately. The whole album is about being a trans woman but I think the song “ I will see one more spring again “ would be the one on the album about defiance in the face of hate by choosing to live and flourish

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.

224 YEARS.

This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.

We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Gender Clinic Files: Some people in Scotland will never get a gender clinic appointment on a 224-year waitlist.

This system is failing to support people to transition not because it is broken, but by design. The frustrating thing is that this would not be a difficult problem to solve under a different political paradigm.

Trans+ people do not need to be assessed by gender clinics or diagnosed by psychiatrists to tell us what we already know: we are trans. The healthcare we need, especially when it comes to hormones, is already available to cis people through making an appointment with their GP.

Gender clinics are unnecessary and exist to segregate healthcare for Trans+ people. Abolishing this system and providing Trans+ healthcare in primary care, at the GP through an informed consent model, would solve many of the issues this data reveals. GPs already prescribe hormones to cis adults. Trans+ adults simply need the same access to this healthcare.

Park stoating and line checking

Looking down the stone stairs in Queens Park towards Victoria Road , trees and fallen autumn leaves

Light breaking through clod over grass and a frame of trees, mostly in shadow but with some green leaves

Bopper in her jaiket and headphones listening to quality tunes next to steps

Guitar pedals lined up. Tuner, melotron , delay, chorus and overdrive. Sitting in a black and gray striped rug
