The trouble with the “law”/legal environment is that it’s completely scientifically illiterate. Sex is not a binary. We know that. Yet the law continues to mandate it.

Hi all. Im Abi. All round nerd, roller derby player and scientist by trade.
It’s horrible that there are so many wildfires, but the aerial waterbomber pilots are cool people. Love those cl-215/415 planes.
The more things are progressing, the more it feels like Burnhams work as GM mayor for equality were just performative.
When the realisation hits you that you just did 6 hours of derby training and THATS why everything feels a bit owwie
The ultimate lesson in staying low in roller derby Bruise right on the pubic bone 🤣
One random thought about why I love derby: Having your own derby name/number and having it on your own team top(s) And in my case helmet covers cos I have poor impulse control.
Saw a reference in the bs “code or practice” defining biological sex that basically said “read this case or similar”
Nothing like another weekend being covered in bruises from close contact with other humans. Get your head out the gutter, I play roller derby
It’s been a hellish weak of heat stress, migraines and the lot. But I had a cool time at practice today. Love my teamies, always make me happy and part of something amazing.
Oh goddess it rained. Thank you nature. I didn’t care I got a bit wet just then.
Was awesome to meet @scornflakegrrrl.bsky.social today! (Ignore the background being the same, I maaay have spent 2 consecutive weekends in the same sports hall doing derby stuff)

When people imply rights are like a pie and you have to “share” them. Nope. For eg As a queer trans person I happily stand with other women, especially to support in areas that may not *directly* affect me, like reproductive care.
Ok I’m down for this kind of allyship

Continuity Keith wins over an openly right wing person Greeeaaaaat
Why does it feel like the culture inherent in this social media ban without fixing wider stuff in society (I.e spaces for people to congregate like youth clubs) is just “punishment is character building”
Turns out this weekend is exactly one year since my first ever rookie roller derby game. Amazing sport, has helped me become a better person, find awesome friends and community and also get fit!
If Keir Starmer was a describable colour it would be like mouldy beige. He’s rotten on his promises, and has a minus 20 charisma modifier
Posting “you” in another country (Inspired by previous posts quote tweeted, have a derby one)

Sorry gals but apparently a cis white guy has determined what a woman is now, and trans people don’t have any rights.
I STG my least favourite word and phrase right now is “clarity” and “dignity” when being used to say that groups of people are ok to treat as second class citizens
The whole report on younger generations seems to reveal the issues that permeate society - just my thoughts but the lie of “work hard and you will get what you want” is laid bare. Why play a game if the deck is stacked against you
Waiting for the “BiOlOgiCal AdvAnTage” crowd to turn on to the “women’s category” cheese rolling competition and Imply trans women are better at ragdolling down a hill
Lots of thanks to the skaters, officials and general folks i hung out with this morning. I needed that after a tough week. Roller derby is such a wonderful inclusive atmosphere.
Toilet bans are as enforceable as recording songs off the radio to casettes was.
Have some good news - the UK solar generation record has been broken again for probably the second time in a row (all in one month!) Bet it gets broken again today!
Been in Ireland for a weekend with my roller derby team. Never once felt like I was a weirdo because I’m trans. Probably I look a bit alt and young to some tour groups in the same hotel I was, but it’s been lovely. Back to terf island soon. Sigh
