Tomorrow is a day of shame in the UK. A day that will go down in queer history. Trans Exclusion Day. When the government says discriminating against a vulnerable group is absolutely fine. Disgusting. Never forget. Never forgive.

If you celebrate Labour's wins and look forward to a brighter future, remember you're only able to do that because you're not trans. There is no hope for us under Labour... and no better future. Just more of this shit. Your happiness shows how willing you are to leave trans people behind.
(to the tune of Creep) : Yes I creak... I'm made of wickerrrr What the hell am I doing here? Got my basket shlong here...
There's got to be a 'putting all your eggs in one basket' joke here somewhere...
Are trans folk in the UK all ready for Shit Christmas on Wednesday? Uncle Andy is bringing us a present! Can't tell you what it is but it's something to do with being banned from public life! So excited! 😭
I just learned the scientific name for Coyote is 'Canis latrans'. So clearly we need to adopt a new trans mascot here. Widely misunderstood, beautiful, intelligent creatures who are an essential part of the world and should be protected - trans people are found everywhere...
The concept of left wing terfs existing is wild (terfery in the UK comes from both directions). SOCIAL JUSTICE NOW! EXCEPT FOR THOSE GUYS! NO MORE BILLIONAIRES! EXCEPT FOR THE ONE WE REALLY LIKE! RESIST FASCISM! ALTHOUGH WE DO AGREE WITH THEM ABOUT SOME THINGS!
No billionaire ever seems to post on social media about how happy they are and how much they're enjoying life
Labour people slapping themselves on the back about how great Andy is and how progressive he is going to be... until trans people are included in your plans, we will always be the ghost at the feast. You are enemies of the LGBTQIA+ community. Literally Theresa May was better than you lot.
Do businesses think if they allow trans people to be harrassed in their premises they can just say 'we're following the EHRC guidance' and we therefore WON'T boycott the shit out of them? If so, bless their little hearts.
Two weeks left for the trans community before... Nothing changes. Carry on as before. Do nothing differently. As you fucking were, people. Do not comply.
'...and I say to you... it may seem like a distant dream today in 1997... but one day a Labour government WILL make sure no one can use a public toilet without someone asking what genitals they have! Now join in with me, everyone.... THIIIINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTTTERRRR'
For goodness sake can we stop with the 'so you want trans men in women's toilets then?' thing. IT DOESN'T WORK. They thought of that - trans men can be asked to leave male AND female toilets, as long as there is a facility for them to use. The cruelty and humiliation IS THE POINT.
Glad some cis people are feeling hope today. Nice for you.
Burnham will talk about hope and optimism today. Remember, trans people are not included in those sentiments. Burnham offers us nothing.
If Burnham rewrote the Equality Act to include trans people properly again - what votes would he lose? Who is voting Labour because they're transphobic, but otherwise would vote Conservative or Reform? I just don't believe that voter exists.
So much misinformation being spread on tiktok about the new EHRC Code by seemingly well meaning cis people who simply have not read a single thing trans people have been saying about this code or bathroom bills in general, and it's all being amplified by terrified and misinformed trans people.
Ok, I have to say - I was cynical and angry going into this world cup, because I'm pissed off with my country and the way England has treated my community recently. But I have watched some of the football with my 91 year old Mum, who likes footie, and I have got into it.
It's kind of hard to imagine Harry, Ron or Hermione posting a malicious upskirted photo of someone to try and humiliate them. 🤔
Allow me to reiterate my previous statement now the EHRC guidance is passing, regarding me being required to use different spaces from the ones I have used for the last two decades without any problems. Statement follows : No.
Ironic that US soldiers are apparently big old sissies with low testosterone whereas trans women on eostrogen are apparently incredibly manly and too strong to compete with other women. 🤔
Where has Jolyon Maugham gone? Can't see him on Bluesky anymore? 😢
Was that what they were all playing for? 🤔
omg Argentina brought out a "THE FALKLANDS ARE ARGENTINE" banner after the win
JKR will never grasp that scaring people into silence isn't winning the argument. You point a gun at someone's head and tell them not to speak - of course they shut up. Doesn't mean you're right. It just shows that terfs are scared of arguments, debate and freedom of speech.
If you need cheering up, by the time of the next world cup Trump might be dead 😁
Starmer fans crying today... welcome to the world of trans people. We've been crying since Labour turned on us. Maybe if Starmer had been able to stand up for just one principle without endlessly trying to placate the worst people in the world we could all have saved our tears.
JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
Honestly... absolutely no joke... I would bet good money on Binface winning this.
As I'm trans in England, a country which now makes me feel completely unwelcome... good luck Norway I guess! 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
