Further to this, the Dem House candidate for my ruby red rural district I vote in has full throated support for trans folks, including the repeal of shitty laws my state passed. He likely won’t win because of gerrymandering, but he didn’t throw me under the bus to try and chase unwinable votes.

When I say I won’t vote for Dems or Labour and I get hit by the “but the other party is worse” folks, it’s this kinda shit that I’m dealing with. I won’t compromise on my rights. Asking me to sacrifice rights I’m actively losing and calling it a purity test is shitty at best and malicious at worst.

Clash of Critters Easter Egg! Discovered by my friend @littlemacha.bsky.social

Cool. Just gonna not talk to the cops then. I wasn’t anyways, but why would I talk to them about anything when I can’t trust them to treat me like a person?

Scottish Trans@scottishtrans.bsky.social · yesterday

As of May 2026, Police Scotland now ask every person who reports or witnesses a crime for data about their “sex” and their “trans status”. These questions are voluntary - you are not legally required to disclose your sex or your trans status to the police when reporting or witnessing a crime.

I point out how much trans people have lost rights over the last few years as a reason we shouldn't support transphobic Dems and I get smeared as being paid by Republicans. This is what trans people are dealing with from so called allies.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Y'all in nyc please be careful. Fishtank is trying to bait y'all.

Had me another birthday. If you're younger & wonder what it's going to be like as an old in the fandom: Wearing a Anthrocon shirt today and work asked about it. "If you'd told me the silly party I helped start in college would one day be in the Guinness Book of Records, I wouldn't have believed."

This is hilarious. The EHRC are meeting in Glasgow now and are too scared to come outside to get lunch because a group of trans weans are protesting outside. The EHRC had to get 70 pounds worth of dominos pizza ordered instead and I know because I've literally seen the receipt myself.

I’m so fucking sick of my coworkers dumping questions I ask them into AI and having it spit out an answer to me. If I cared what the fucking AI thought, I’d have asked it. I care about what you think because you’re supposed to understand this shit. But I guess you don’t, huh?

Same in UK, where I have a vote. No legislation to reverse the mess inflicted on us by the FWS ruling and no reversal of puberty blocker and other medical bans? No vote. That’s the bare minimum; give us back what we had. If you won’t do that, and commit LOUDLY to it, I’m not voting for you

I will not vote for, endorse, campaign for, or donate to any candidate or party that does not explicitly endorse FULL AND EQUAL RIGHTS to trans people in all areas of society. I'm not a full citizen, you don't get my second-class vote. Period. I don't think I can make it any clearer.

I'll tell trans folks the same thing I told furries a couple weeks ago. Take this advice from an ex-reporter of 15 years. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP. If a journalist DMs you, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Uncut Femmes@juliagiantrat.bsky.social · last wk.

the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.

I still remember when Sunak tried to hammer “Labour will put your taxes up” as the message against Labour and a woman on Question Time said “ok? Good?” and he just had no response. Nevermind the fact Labour didn’t take the hint from that that they should maybe raise taxes on the rich, it just-

shaun@shaunvids.bsky.social · last wk.

this got turbocharged after corbyn's victory spooked them and they took a few bounds to the right in response. the rich as a class would rather see the whole of society including themselves fed into a woodchipper to avoid a 5% tax raise. this is not hyperbole

The Hugging Face hacking incident comes down to AI safety being ignored. OpenAI built a poor sandbox environment; AI didn’t magically access the internet, but discovered pathways still there — initially an agent figured out internet access by exploiting Artifactory, used for package downloads

Kaylee 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 🔜 BLFC@littlemacha.bsky.social · 2w ago

Tbh, the fact that these companies ignored AI safety -this basic- is a red flag by itself. We’ve had this thought experiment for decades and these companies just decided that it’d be fine because surely they wouldn’t -intentionally- build the Torment Nexus.

The sheer accuracy of this fucking wrecked me.

Some cis people will literally leave their jobs over Joanne's bigotry, and others are mad they're being told not to watch a TV show. Who our allies are is very obvious to us, and we remember who they are.

hoots@hoots.bsky.social · 2w ago

Speaking of Harry Potter, I resigned from my position at Universal Studios a month ago over all of the Wizarding World/JKR shit. I am now paying my bills and paying for a wedding purely thru YouTube and Patreon. I loved working at USH. I was very conflicted leaving. Fuck Joanne.

To all the freshly out trans women who think they’re too late with hormones because they didn’t start when first puberty hit: Stop it. You aren’t too late. I was scared I was too late at 22 when I transitioned around 2 decades ago. I was wrong. You are too. Let them work and be patient.

These are the same fuckers who insisted that abstinence only was the best way to bring down the teen pregnancy rate and that it was a moral failing if a teen got pregnant. While I’m angry that they’re pushing this kind of shit now, I’m fully unsurprised this is where they’ve ended up.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w ago

As somebody who grew up during the era in which there was a massive public push to reduce teen pregnancy, it’s absolutely wild to me to see people on Fox News now complaining that not enough teens are getting pregnant.

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

The Verge@theverge.com · 2w ago

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

again, the knowledge that coverage like this now happens because of some people who call themselves feminists drives me insane - must everyone who happened to have been born a girl be seen through the lens of "but what about breastfeeding"? is that really what we're doing, again?

Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 2w ago

I can’t put into words the fury this reporting fills me with. How more indignity must trans people be spoken be subjected to by our national broadcaster?

One thing that has stayed with me over the years and still bothers me GREATLY, is that IF the Chlorine incident at MFF 2014 had happened AT ANY OTHER TYPE OF EVENT besides a furry convention, EVERYBODY would have treated it seriously as the terroristic act it was. Instead. People made fun of it.

If the “Blue no matter who” folks could stop telling me my death as a trans person is an acceptable sacrifice to save others, that’d be super great.

It is frequently funny to me that because I have a large chest and am trans, many folks just assume I had top surgery to achieve that. And then I get to see the look on their faces when I say “I never had top surgery” and they do this shit.

Finished reading Jon Ronson's The Castle this week and it was a fascinating read. The Graham Linehan chapter looks squarely at Graham, his behaviour and how it's affected his life. It's a portrait of a deeply unwell man lashing out at the world by a friend who has concerns.

I joined the fandom around the time of the CSI episode. We dealt with the fallout of that and the Vanity Fair article for well over a decade. DO NOT ENGAGE.

SirFox@sirfox.bsky.social · 3w ago

If you think "i'm clever, I can help portray the fandom in a positive light!" You are exactly the sucker they're looking for. This will be tawdry and exploitative. DO NOT LET THEM USE YOU OR YOUR VIDEOS It's been a long time since the Vanity Fair article and the CSI episode. This'll be worse.

As a fellow greymuzzle who’s been around for more than 2 decades: DO NOT TALK TO THE PRESS. It will not end well for you, personally, much less the community at large. Special caveat to this is that the UK media is exponentially -worse- when it comes to our community. Avoid at all costs!

Hey, critters. The media's interested in furries again. As someone who's been in the fandom for well over two decades and has worked as a journalist, here's a quick guide to Dealing With The Press: If a journalist approaches you, SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUC

Wales has stopped ALL gender affirming surgeries! Schools have just declared an end to social transition and inclusion for trans kids. I do not think enough people are paying attention to how utterly and quickly trans rights have been stripped away in the uk!

Heather Paterson@heatherpaterson.co.uk · 3w ago

Deeply concerning: referrals, assessments and scheduled gender-affirming surgery through the Welsh Gender Service have been paused pending an independent clinical review. Other parts of the service remain open.
