Escapee from twitter, couldn't figure out Mastodon, becoming less impressed by Threads.

Chemistry, chess, running, on-line learning, coding for fun.

Why are Bluesky flagging the picture on the left, yet allowing the picture on the right?

According to the fucked up UK law, both pictures are legally male.

The one on the left SHOULD be classed as women as we ARE women. Highlights how ridiculous the Supreme Court ruling is.

This is completely wrong. I've lived in Europe. They don't want our cars because:

1. Too big for roads and parking spaces

2. Too fuel inefficient in countries where gas is $6/gallon

3. Considered low quality for the cost

If you are a trans athlete in the 🇬🇧, you are blanketly excluded from sport thanks to transphobia.

In Australia, there is no blanket ban as the sporting bodies here actually take account of the science…

Hang on! So it refuses to give us the report because it tells us "the report" "is intended for future publication" in 2026. And it tells @wearequeeraf.com (1) there is no report and (2) "the work was not intended for publication".

What an absolute disgrace Wes Streeting's lot are.

Kind of amazing how nakedly dishonest are Wes Streeting's lot when it comes to suppressing data on young people taking their own lives in consequence of the withdrawal of gender affirming care. 🤯🧵

There are all sorts things people can lack. Money is one, any feeling for the problems of others is another. Sometimes people can be poor and still not understand what it means.
I have been. I have lived on friends sofas and hid when landlords came to collect the rent. I've done without electricity and gas because I couldn't put money in the meter. As far as I can say, it didn't turn me into a hateful, bigoted, individual who has turned what they do into demonising others.

BBC saying a few hundred turned up for the anti trans protest in Belfast and if there were 50 people there that's a generous estimate

One of the pro trans speakers made a joke about 10-15 and that's much closer.

Thousands for the pro trans march

Guardian writers campaigned against puberty-blockers because they were prescribed "off label".

Now the Guardian is celebrating Ozempic, a drug being used off label for obesity.

The difference...?

Puberty-blockers have been used for trans kids for 30+ years, Ozempic for obesity only for 4 years.
