what would you do if you woke up and found out it was 2003?

I'm sure it will come as no surprise that this petition has been signed by a number of transphobes - J Michael Bailey, Michael Biggs, Jo Phoenix, Helen Joyce, Holly Lawford-Smith, Jerry Coyne, and Colin Wight. Those are just the names that jumped out on a quick scan; there may be others.

There’s a petition signed by more than one hundred academics (& counting!) in support of Nathan Cofnas—the racist who instigated the pile on that led to J. Arday’s death—because he lost his postdoc. Apparently there’s nothing a white man can do that deserves consequences.

Ok I need some fiction recs with queer women, looooots of queer women heroines. Messy ones, fabulous ones, work in progress ones. I include trans women in this in case you couldn't guess. Give me fun things to read in the name of RESEARCH

Lee Mack hosting a stand up show from the 2005 Fringe on r4extra - Andy Parsons, Lucy Porter, Alan Cochrane, Tim Minchin and Jimeoin - I've seen them all. 2005 would have been my 7th Fringe in a row and this run carried on til 2014. I do miss it, maybe next year...

It’s my birthday in >2 weeks and we can’t afford to celebrate, nor makeup, nor toiletries, nor olive oil, nor bloody cat litter…it’s a month of trauma anniversaries (for us both), and the misery is being compounded by poverty. Please help a glum transsexual age more happily: paypal.me/StuffOfMemes

If we actually did have a world beating national press, maybe their commitment to rigorous, forensic journalism would go a little further than 'breathlessly repeating myths their mates said bc of vibes'. That clip of the Private Eye podcast presenters sneering at the marathon thing has stuck with me

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Treatment for HIV that means we can expect to live as long as those without HIV ✅ Medication (via pills or injection) that can prevent anyone from acquiring HIV ✅ Sometimes science does feel miraculous.

Rowling did not make a statement. She replied to a trans woman in the comments section on Twitter. Rowling did not say anything supportive, she basically said “you were so mentally ill that the only way to cure you was surgery and hormones.” She notably did not say the woman in question is a woman

She forgets some of us *were* trans kids who got screwed by a better system than she's trying to force on folks globally. Or maybe she's just too wrapped up in her delusion to realise we exist.

Black people have many opinions but think we’re all united on the fact that white people should not be fucking saying the n-word. After that I gave up trying to argue with these people

When a journalist wrote something heinous on X and I challenged them not once did they say actually I apologise that was wrong. The final straw was Marina Hyde’s article about Jeremy Clarkson singing the n-word was no big deal. She said I didn’t speak for all Black people and many agreed with her

Chaminda Jayanetti@cjayanetti.bsky.social · 3d ago

The logic of this is that over on X people debate and duke things out and their views change, at least occasionally, in the direction of the people they are debating with. Which, as we all know, is absolute horseshit. Instead they tend to get more entrenched and more extreme, left or right.

The thing about alt text is that once you get into the habit of doing it, it's like a few seconds and a tiny bit of extra effort to make your posts accessible to people relying on a screen reader. I don't see where the hostility to it comes from other than pure disablism.

🪭LINA لينا@agirlcalledlina.bsky.social · 17h ago

Also something that boils my piss about many sensible libs on here is that they never use alt text, and it will be because they think it’s beneath them and in really they aren’t inclusive

Ah Fraser is still doing his “I’m a nice person really!” attempted rehabilitation after publishing nazis and bigots for years. The North remembers Fraser!

Jonathan Portes@jdportes.bsky.social · 12h ago

Truly a fitting punishment for Fraser Nelson. Compelled by his own inner demons to try, vainly, to use facts/evidence to argue with an openly racist Conservative MP, who was probably originally radicalised by Nelson's own Spectator.

This is the crux of it really, people like bush claim to be allies, they aren’t because they have Terf mates, but they really don’t believe in trans rights and basic human rights

The “reasonable liberal” always crumbles when faced with the question “are you against trannys being raped?”

Here's a handy tip for free - you are not a trans ally if you think trans people are only due equality in certain circumstances.

This illness cost me a week of posting, I'm extremely far behind. (Even more than I was before!) pp in bio.

A staggering 92% of "terrorism" arrests from Palestine Action's proscription in July 2025 to March 2026 (2819 out of 3061 arrests) were linked to actions like this. "Terrorism" now means protesting an unjust, excessive, authoritarian state. End the ban on Palestine Action. Abolish the Terrorism Act

Defend Our Juries@defendourjuries.bsky.social · 2d ago

BREAKING Peaceful protesters have revealed “terrorism” signs outside Preston Courts in support of the Barclays 5. The signs state “Saving lives is not terrorism - I support Palestine Action” This is in response to reports that the five may be unjustly sentenced as terrorists.

When a newspaper stops someone from running a transphobic article, the transphobic writer runs to every other news outlet in the country and they giddily regurgitate his press releases

Lydia Rose@lydzrose.bsky.social · 2d ago

First, calling trans women “biological males/biological men” is, definitionally transphobic. Second, yeah, your article got dropped because you were very clearly just writing another anti trans propaganda piece. I wish more news outlets would spike transphobic articles.

Lot of anxiety in the media about undeserving disabled people getting free stuff - a thread 🧵 None of the Disability Benefits being attached/panicked about are automatic, all of them have an application process, where you have to provide evidence and be assessed. 1/

In the UK, there has been an almost universal memory-holeing of how Toby Young was personally invited to a secret, exclusive eugenics conference full of white supremacists spreading racist pseudo-science, then he disappeared, and reappared, founded the FSU and then became a life peer

Combat 18 flaggers have been turning up at fascist events continuously since Combat 18 were proscribed as a terrorist group, and the police everywhere gives them a polite and friendly escort to protect them from anti fascist resistance. C18 are the group who claimed the London nail bombings in '99

Sonia Sodha in 2018. This is radicalisation and the Overton window shifting so far right that people who call themselves liberal are now spouting bigotry and fascism like it’s all normal

She used to work for Ed Miliband. This is her in 2018 talking about including trans women on all women shortlists www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

They're really going to defend the racist harasser rather than admit they joined in on his racist harassment. Pathetic.

jaspermaxxing@hoovybaby.bsky.social · 2d ago

Imagine my shock,

I know multiple trans women stuff like this has happened to. It's fucking disgusting. We should not have to be advocating for basic urgent medical care for ourselves while sick like this.

I have another example of Transphobia can kill/cause serious harm Went to A&E for an infection and because I am trans and have had bottom surgery. They refused me care. Expecting me to drive 2 hours to my surgery team for URGENT care. Something that A&E should give. My GP had to step in and help me
