Like Aura but with a rawrr because I never grew out of my emo phase 🖤 Living on stolen land, sovereignty was never ceded. I'm interested in music, kitchen witchcraft, books (especially fantasy but fairly omnivorous), and human rights. YNWA

Now that these batshit policies are rolling out on the ground, in the name of trans inclusion, every single trans person I've spoken to (and me too) have had medical providers fuck up our records and expose our trans status to third parties because of that "birth sex" field. It should not exist.

I will die on this hill if I have to. The ABS census is wrong. Equality Australia is wrong. ACON is wrong. That LGBTIQ Health organisation is wrong. Every single "progressive" idea they have about collecting data related to trans people is wrong. This is a bad idea, and we should not have done it.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

But I think it's worth understanding the place that we've gotten to now as a consequence of how powerful that early internet was also as a space for connection and galvanising human rights movements and the deep need of the powerful and wealthy to sabotage this technology of subversive collaboration

As I wrote in my latest: "Cis people who still do their Wordles or who still like Harry Potter? I cannot trust them. They are a threat in the sense that a drunk behind the wheel is dangerous or a sleepwalker stumbling towards a staircase is dangerous. Willfully or not they may cause actual harm."

Writing a book: First you're going to go quietly mad for a few years. You're going to make a private precious thing that only you know about. It's delicate, introverted and lonely work. Ok? Good so now PUT IT OUT THERE FOR EVERY PERSON TO SEE!!! NOW SELL IT!!! MARKET THE PRECIOUS SECRET BABY!!!!!!

Stumbled across an account on TikTok that just seems to be posting videos of people’s worst moments: mental health episodes, psychosis, drug use - all Melbourne based. The account has thousands of followers. It’s not a compassionate account: the non-consensual images are posted as entertainment

...trans people are an innate human reality, their healthcare is utterly non-controversial, and their lives are vastly improved by unfettered, free access to it. Even if 100% of trans people say they are happy with trans healthcare, James et al would *still* call it harm.

if trans women are male, but they are getting these records, then "sex" must not matter. if you insist "sex" does matter, then trans women must be female. both are unviable as challenges to male supremacy by positioning "sex" as incoherent, or socially mediated at best.

There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.

TRANS PERSON: supporting our transitions is morally & practically superior to any other option THE MEDIA: as a transgender, you are simply too biased. in fact transition is probably evil & bad GUY WITH A FETISH FOR SEXUALLY VIOLATING VULNERABLE CHILDREN: ur right THE MEDIA: see? we're right
