“Gender-critical” transphobia is fascism. Transphobes don’t want to “protect women & children”, they just hate trans people. There are no “gender-critical beliefs” just hatred. They are just a rhetorical cover for hate. They are certainly not in any way “worthy of respect” in a democratic society.

A far-right thug who performed Nazi salutes at a "protect women and children protest" has been exposed as a serial stalker and abuser.

I've been seeing references to some anti-trans changes coming to English schools in September. Now found out what it's about. Really not good. What it boils down to is making trans children's school time miserable, in the apparent hope it's just a phase and they'll stop all this trans stuff.

Upping again my article about Labour’s anti-trans “guidance” for schools, it is producing Ambient Conversion Therapy; a firm of psychological torture targeting trans kids. This is now Burnham’s responsibility. He either rescinds or gets the blame when thousands of children are harmed, and some die…

not a huge fan of this whole thing of “non-binary people don’t have the same stake in trans rights.” thing going around. kill the Bri Wu in your head please and thank you

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

Well, the @bishopsgateinst.bsky.social has got how to label toilets properly... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It’s non-binary people’s day. At a time where there’s so much anti-trans rhetoric, non-binary people are still targeted but are often left behind in the discussion & defence by others. It’s the coloniality of the gender binary of course. I wrote this a few years ago pipewrenchmag.com/binary-gende...

Who says this depicts a woman? Contemporary gender binaries, not original sources. But gender fluid people have always existed.

I have no idea why I keep arguing with colonisers when they’re always going to do the same thing. Always. Meanwhile this NAIDOC, has land been handed back yet?

Thousands of people in Venezuela urgently need shelter, food, clean water and medical care after two devastating earthquakes. Your support can help families rebuild their lives. If you are able, make a donation @decappeal.bsky.social #VenezuelaAppeal

Anonymous people patronising Aboriginal people. Yep… gotta love NAIDOC.

NAIDOC really is a celebration for us. And it’s a celebration of our people. But most of all it’s a week where we keep on doing the work, living our lives, loving our families, and resisting colonialisms.

Update on my gender surgery from my pjs! It’s been two weeks now. I recorded this a few days ago. Again I’m staying in an Airbnb I promise this isn’t artwork in my home.

I’m in the hospital, got out of surgery about eight hours ago. Had some cornflakes, had some bad coffee and then Kat bought me a real one. Then I have just been tooling around on the Internet for the last little while. No pain yet because of the anaesthetic, but it’ll kick in at some stage.

On the eve of going into major gender-affirming surgery (at 60, no less), I want to acknowledge the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), my university and others that have ensured gender-affirming leave. This flags the importance of affirmation and support for workers across their life cycle.

Feminist scholarship has long critiqued the sex/gender distinction (wherein ‘sex’ is taken to be the biological truth of someone’s identity) as sexist, given the way it reduces women to their bodily parts and functions and

The “proof” of someone’s identity is ultimately how they describe themselves.

Every trans-supporting cis person in the UK needs to make peace with becoming more annoying, persistent, and pedantic than they ever thought possible. EHRC guidance is full of contradictions - they're relying on transphobic compliance out of fear. DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM

What’s up, Bluesky? Well actually, I’m an Aboriginal person who just got Irish citizenship and a passport. Okay at this stage of my life it’s largely ornamental but still exciting.

personal lifelong side quest to fix these every time I see it. the red cord needs to hang all the way to the ground so people can reach it if they fall.

if you are trans in the UK and want a radar key to use disabled loos and you can't afford the £10, my DMs are open, I can afford one for you.

the important thing is this strategy of "ban everyone who is not a LinkedIn-style poster, AI apologist, and mod sycophant" is extremely sustainable and will definitely work

Can we avoid #BreastCancer chemo when it *won't* give any advantage? Well, yes- for example, HER2+ can avoid the heart-destroying anthracyclines, and T1a + T1b triple negtumours don't need chemo at all. (Dr Andrew Redfern notes the triple neg and HER2 titles should be swapped). #RACS26

Wonderful news on gender affirming surgery. I’m really excited and a bit nervous. I’m lucky to have the support of family, a dear friend who will be providing after care, and a workplace that provides appropriate leave.
