We all too often forget about the joy of being trans when we advocate on social media.

Being trans is beautiful. The first time someone calls you, 'she' feels like sunlight.

Let's share our joy 🏳️‍⚧️

Call it what it is: Genocide. Legal erasure, ministerial attacks, non-existent health care. This is not a debate. It's an attack on our existence!

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

A reminder of what the UN definition of Genocide is.👇

A government only has to be guilty of one of these points for it to be considered as committing Genocide; the UK government is guilty of THREE of them when it comes to its treatment of the trans community - (b), (c), and (e).

^ Definition of genocide
Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide as:
... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the
group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
-Convention on the
Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2171

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social this should be the default for any party that will allow no space for bigotry. If you do not oppose the bigots, you stand with them.

🚨 UPDATE 🚨

The news is in, and it’s good

🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference

They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda

But the party stood firm

🚨 UPDATE 🚨

This week, Green Party Specialist Interest Groups will be told whether Party leadership plans to allow GWD to run a stall at Autumn Conference

To be clear: GWD is a transphobic lobbying outfit, fronted by expelled ex-members with a history of breaching party values and code of conduct

Interesting fact: production of testosterone occurs in both the testes and the ovaries, but in the ovaries, that testosterone is immediately metabolised into estrogens.

🌎Boxing claim that the SRY gene is a reliable indicator for determining biological sex & sports advantage. There is no scientific evidence linking this gene & or endogenous T to athletic performance.

Even the discoverer of the SRY gene admits it cannot be used to determine biological sex.

Kirsti Miller @kirstimiller30.bsky.social · Aug 23

Anyone that thinks @WorldAthletics sex testing is simple, I suggest go talk to @MightyCaster

To evaluate the effects of involves measuring & palpating the clitoris, vagina & labia, as well as evaluating breast size & pubic hair scored on an illustrated 5-grade scale.

Totally agree with this. My gender has not change. Peoples gender does not change. What you perceive to be your gender can during your gender discovery.

I am transitioning my sexual characteristics to align with my gender.

Don't think you realise that in reality, they already have, since they often try to link autism with being transgender, and claiming that being trans is not real.

Linking being trans as something made up in the mind of someone who is autistic, this implies it is also caused by paracetamol.

jael holzman @jael.bsky.social · 13d

imagine a world where politicians said stuff like this about trans health care, too. coz they totally could, from a science perspective

Transphobes try to deny our experiences and rewrite science based on narrow definitions. They demand blood as proof while ignoring the real facts. That is gatekeeping, not biology. /5

GeekOnALeash [Biological trans woman] 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @geekonaleash.co.uk · 13d

Many transfeminine people report a mid-cycle lift and a low that maps to those hormonal rhythms. Oxytocin and neuroendocrine shifts affect mood. All this is on a regular pattern that can be tracked. Blood is just one part of this cycle; you are on your period. 4/

Cramps and gut upset aren't solely uterine. Prostaglandins and inflammatory signals from muscles, gut, adrenals, and mammary tissue can produce period-like pain and bowel changes. 3/

This needs to be said more often: Trans women do get periods!

Not uterine bleeding, but monthly cycles of cramps, bloating, mood swings, breast changes, and many other symptoms that arrive like clockwork. They’re hormonal, painful and real, and these are all part of the menstrual cycle. 1/

'I play for Manchester City and I've had abuse for supporting trans rights - but it only encourages me'

Kerstin Casparij says the messages she received from online trolls were just a tiny snapshot of what she imagines trans people have to face on a regular basis.
