can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

Not planning to willingly comply with the Labour Government guidance on segregation. I will not grovel at the feet of misogynistic bigots who don't recognise my right to exist.

As a white people I am often guilty of cooking white people chicken. The joke does miss some nuance though. If there aren't at least two herbs and spices in my gravy and a kilo of garlic in the mashed potatoes I'm clearly unwell.

New 'Interview with a Vampire' series was excellent but after two episodes I'm ready to make the new 'The Vampire LeStat' my entire personality.

Partner purchased trim for their new costume. Trim is covered in pearls, diamante, mirrors and lace. I can't put it through the sewing machine. Hand partner a needle and thread.

Today I described one of my characters as 'If a power ballad was a person' and everyone was like 'Yes, that is exactly how you play her.' Feeling awesome.

It's pretty bleak being trans in the UK, especially if you work in education. Anyway. I sought help from a talking therapy service. During the assessment the therapist had to apologise and cut the call for ten minutes to cry and self regulate. Still unsure how to take that.

State of the UK: Labour party of New Gilead proud to announce the Women's Conference will be free of Gender Traitors. New PM suggests young people knock on doors with CV's. Nation told it's still not as hot as '76 for second consecutive month. Everyone surprised Binface isn't in parliament yet

I spent years being lazy, disorganised, uncaring and unreliable. Spent years trying to implement all the 'Why don't you just? It's easy to...' advice. I was in my late 30's when I was first introduced to how ADHD more regularly manifests in women. That night I cried and I cried as it all made sense.

*headdesk* Now he's going to shake up the education system. Change isn't inherently bad but employer led rather than learner led technical training is a recipe for disaster. Employers ditch trained staff the moment technologies change. Qualitative education is transferable.

Watching the Brad Pitt 'Troy' movie. Achilles: 'This is my cousin Patroclus.' My eldest child: 'Eww, what? He's sleeping with his cousin?'

There's the bit in animal farm where the animals look from pig to human and they all look the same. Anyway, it's interesting to place gender critical and manosphere discourse side by side.

Streeting is back and this time he's going to ban Trans folk from the military and introduce testosterone boosters for over 30's troops.

Union advice on new KCSIE guidance. TLDR: Co-operate. If you feel action goes contrary to law or opens you to abuse, record and contact us for legal assistance. Bleak. I don't want to be the media poster child for transphobic policy making a hostile work environment.

Yesterday I was busy erasing the rights of women and girls by doing some painting, taking my kids to school, making dinner and cuddling up on the sofa with my youngest child when they needed some extra love and attention. Imagine the chaos if I'd used a public loo. Fire and brimstone.

Chainsmoker Cat is a terrible piece of media by every metric imaginable and episode 1 was utterly abysmal. Why the heck did I then binge watch it???

It's not a shelter! It provides advice, signposting and counselling services, not accommodation! But it's advantageous to the GC narrative for people to believe it's a shelter

Just watched the Barbie movie for the first time. The bit where Barbie collapses in despair as the Kens dismantle everything good about the world whilst the other Barbies go along with it is really relatable as a trans person in the UK right now.

Linehan: *incites hatred against entire community* Police: 'We shouldn't police Tweets.' Trans person: *wishes ill on a dead person.* Police: 'Hmm, gotta investigate that for criminality.' Can we have just a smidgen of consistency please.

Trying to stay positive but cracks are showing. Waiting to hear back from union on how to navigate new EHRC, PHSE and KCSIE guidance as a trans teacher. Currently in AP so not a direct issue but it may prevent me returning to mainstream and pursuing leadership roles. Basically career deadend.

Today I have been erasing the sex based rights of women and girls by picking up some items for a friend, browsing a charity shop, laser cutting a picture frame and watching TV with my kids.

Remember the dignity of your womanhood. Do not appeal, do not beg, do not grovel. - Christabel Pankhurst Gender Criticals, Terfs, Biologicals, Politicians and Legal Threats abound but they cannot erase trans women and our inherent worth as women.
