It turns out I'm an incorrigible flirt. I'm finding out all sorts of things about myself.

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”
Also I’m not gonna let the linguistic point go: the BBC, the courts, and now the NHS all refer to trans people using slurs as a matter of official policy. That’s where Britain is at now.
It’s warm lately, and my face is finally recovering from the last round of electrolysis, so a rare opportunity for a selfie.
NHS cancelling surgeries for adults even after they’ve already paid for travel + accommodation and waited years to get there. Some were about to be wheeled into theatre! Every manager responsible for this decision must be sacked and every patient paid compensation.
QueerAF@wearequeeraf.com · 2mo ago🚨🆕 @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...
We’ve submitted a formal complaint to the Charity Commission about Sex Matters, raising concerns about its conduct, campaigning and the potential harm caused to trans people. Our full evidence is attached so you can see exactly what we’ve put to the regulator. tacc.org.uk/2026/08/19/t...
TACC raises a complaint with the Charity Commission about Sex Matters
We have submitted a formal complaint to the Charity Commission about the registered charity Sex Matters (1207701). Our complaint raises serious concerns about the organisation’s conduct, including it...

The EHRC meets with organisations hostile to trans people and our rights. But would it meet with people opposed to homosexuality, race-realists, or organisations wanting to remove women’s bodily autonomy? If not, why are trans people the exception? These are the questions we have asked the EHRC!
The early partial eclipse. Not bad for a four year old phone camera through a pair of eclipse glasses from 1999!
It’s been a while since I shared a picture of my nails! Usually I go for bright colours, but this time I’m pairing bright clothes with black nails. Sadly the top coat ruined the perfect layer of glossy colour beneath, but I still love the colour.
In 2012 the UK was number 1 in the @ilgaeurope.bsky.social rankings table for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe. It has now dropped to *22nd*. Next year I suspect it'll be even lower due to Labour's abysmal treatment of the trans community. Why on earth would WorldPride come to London in these conditions?
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · 3mo ago1972. 2012. 2032? London's first Pride march. WorldPride in our city. Now I'm backing a bid to bring the world back to London in 2032, marking 60 years of Pride and inviting LGBTQIA+ creatives to help shape it from day one.
One of my favourite popular treats in Japan is coffee jelly. It’s not too sweet, very firm, and usually served with cream.
@amnestyuk.bsky.social We would like to remind you of your 'About us' page: "We believe in world where everyone enjoys their rights freely, is treated fairly, and lives without fear." If you no longer stand by this principle, maybe you should retract that also. www.amnesty.org.uk/about/who-we...
GeekOnALeash 🏳️⚧️@geekonaleash.co.uk · 3mo ago@amnestyuk.bsky.social are now bending the knee to the anti-rights movement. Congratulations on adding yourselves to your own retracted report. You have opened the door to further SLAPPs from any organisations that do not agree with you. www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
On a walk through the Ibaraki countryside, this little one dropped from a tree, narrowly missing my head.
It's endometriosis. It's always endometriosis. When will we stop sounding surprised and get some research, treatment and policy approaches?
I can't tell if I'm actually high maintenance or if I have brain worms. I suspect both.
1/🧵 The EHRC Code of Practice recommends but does not require that businesses segregate trans folks. My advice to businesses is to ignore the EHRC and do business as usual, to be unapologetically trans-inclusive, and, whenever someone demands exclusion, to direct them to single-occupancy facilities.
I really question whether I'll still live in the UK a year from now.
QueerAF@wearequeeraf.com · 4mo agoThere is growing evidence that ‘gender policing’ in single-sex spaces is on the rise, despite the Code not yet being in force
I had a head CT scan a couple of weeks ago and they gave me the data! So I did what you’d expect and extracted my skull to 3D print. I failed to get the tooth enamel (it’s denser than bone) though.
Cass has this tendency to be both a massive transphobe, then counter with something that vaguely supports trans people. What a lot of people don’t understand is, doctors often aren’t that bright. It’s an assumption, that because you need good grades for med school we’re all geniuses. We’re not.
Ashleeee 🎃🪭 (ᯟ︿ᯏ)”@reactiveashley.cat · 4mo agoHilary Cass going to the Jordan Peterson conference with climate denial, racist, anti-abortion, anti-woke c**ts? Sounds like a crank in her natural habitat?
Under today’s massively PR’d draft bill banning LGBT conversion therapy, Alan Turing never underwent conversion therapy. Because it was done by the State for his own wellbeing. 🥸 Same now for trans people. Pink-washing garbage.
