Can I get a fuck the BBC for this awful definition: "a transwoman, a person born a biological male who identifies as a woman"

New guidance on single-sex spaces comes into force

The code covers spaces open to the public, such as toilets and changing rooms in England, Wales and Scotland.

Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:

Collective noun for trans people? An offence? A miracle?

Found a list calling Rosemary's Baby a feminist horror and, like, can a film be feminist if it was literally directed by a rapist?

Writing an article on horror and accidentally called myself Stefanie Monster. I kind of love it.

Y'all are NOT READY for this video which hopefully will be online soon(ish). I got ambushed by a trans talk show host on one of my first ever times going out of the house as a girl, which I was a baby trans. It kind of takes a turn. You'll see!

having posted this, am I wrong or has "Some Like It Hot" aged *by far* better than basically every other crossdressing comedy I feel like even sitting here as an out trans woman that movie still kinda slaps

What key piece of trans media have you still not experienced? For me, it’s I Saw The TV Glow 😅

Sometimes a sentence is a series of thoughts, and sometimes it's a game we play, and sometimes it's a meandering path to nothing, and sometimes, in this nothing, there are more thoughts, and sometimes, within these thoughts, there are sentences.

Figuring out you're queer and/or neurodivergent takes time. So including my book in this bundle felt important. It’s filled with characters figuring it out. From being nonbinary to learning to live with mental illness. Plus, a bunch of other brilliant books. Only $16. itch.io/b/3781/figur...

Nonbinary/genderqueer people do NOT owe you androgyny. Which means that when they DO serve extremely hot androgyny, you should be GRATEFUL and use their PREFERRED PRONOUNS. It is NOT HARD to grasp this

Rewatching IDENTITEAZE for my book and struck all over again by how defiantly euphoric, anti-capitalist, and inspiring the film is. It's a hypnotic swirl indebted to its forebears but deliciously its own beast. @jessiegender.bsky.social and team really made something special here.

*standing up on the plane* okay so the first thing you need to understand is the Merovingian hates Neo because Neo reminds him of his own failure and refusal to accept the truth of who he is. To cope he had to convince himself that he never had a choice about transitioning, and Neo’s very existence-
