Happy Pride all 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️‍🔥 Trans people are often erased from Stonewall (I’ve been told flat out “our communities never mixed before now”!!) - and trans men & transmascs are erased from almost everything. This Pride, a reminder that we’ve always been here. All of us. Trans & cis, binary & nonbinary. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

UK predictably painting this as win for LGBTQ+ rights. The bill basically says conversion therapy is ok if for “health care” (mental or physical, registered practitioner or not). Feminist Gender Equality Network: “This bill is worse than not having a ban”: feministgenderequality.network/not-a-ban/

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.

I have six novels and have never used AI for writing - I don't even use assistive AI. Generative AI is a scourge, not just on creativity but on truth, depth, and independent thought.

Laura Keating@lorekeating.bsky.social · 7mo ago

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Wild that ITV prints this without a word abt the UK govt's attacks on trans healthcare, privacy, freedom of association & right to live as ourselves. The govt's IN THE PROCESS OF legislating for trans segregation & a trans S28. Yes, it's awful in the US too, but stop with this Look Over There shit.

Could anyone honestly watch the news of more than 500 arrests for peacefully protesting this weekend and conclude that the UK Government cares an iota about the rights and civil liberties of the people of these islands, writes Steph Paton✍️

Yeah, this. An AI 'response' scrapes internet content according to algorithms programmed by people. 60-70% of responses have been shown to be faulty in some way or outright wrong, yet more & more ppl choose AI answers over e.g. Wikipedia. I worry this will feed the spread of misinformation.

BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social · last yr.

The really confusing thing about AI is that so many people think it is actually intelligent when all it does is give out the opinions that have been programmed into it.

Final Regulatory Impact Assessment Gender Recognition Bill - Nov 2003. "This is the only way to rectify all human rights breaches...ensure full legal recognition in the acquired gender across the range of situations in which gender is significant in law."

"Far too many suffered but "there were more people across society unwilling to believe the worst of others than otherwise".That is perhaps something to cling to, as it is clear the tendency for unprincipled leaders to stoke hatred of vulnerable groups is as strong in the C21st as it was at the time"

Scotland has one of the most horrific witch hunt records in Europe – this new book aims to explore why 📚

The EHRC gamed this in advance, phrasing EVERY question as "Is this statement clear" rather than "Is it fair?" or "Will it cause harm?" The result? They don't even plan to read the answers. They don't care how many support trans ppl. They only want to push their agenda to make our lives unliveable.

This was in the UK. And he's been so misgendered & deadnamed by the press that his identity as a trans man has been almost completely erased.

BASH BACK@bashback.bsky.social · last yr.

HIS NAME WAS TONI ASIK HE WAS MURDERED BY SODEXO AND THE STATE SAY HIS NAME FIGHT BACK

Oh look, yet another one who thinks you can do a thing that will directly fund attempts to eradicate trans people, then follow it with a patronising claim that you support trans people. Thanks, but we've had enough of that from the govt. Truth is, you just sold trans people out for the money.

Reported by the media, but he was so misgendered & deadnamed nobody would've known he was a trans man, not a woman (more was made of it being the prison Lucy Letby is in) They invisibilise trans men on purpose We mustn't let them theviewmag.org.uk/sodexo-limit... www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

BASH BACK@bashback.bsky.social · last yr.

ON THE WEEK OF 28TH JULY 2025 A TRANS MAN HELD IN HMP BRONZEFIELD DIED AFTER WEEKS OF ABUSE, MISGENDERING, AND DEADNAMING. HE IS ONE OF TWO PEOPLE MURDERED BY THE SODEXO RUN INSTITUTION THIS WEEK. THE PRISON HAS RESPONDED WITH LOCKDOWNS CALL HMP BRONZEFIELD 01784 425690 NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE.

Gomez being an "ally" the same way the Labour government is: 1. Do something that will directly contribute to attempts to eradicate trans people. 2. Follow it with a patronising claim to support trans people to the hilt. With allies like these, who needs TERFs?

Scots actress Michelle Gomez has responded to a backlash from fans after it emerged she has taken on a role in an upcoming Harry Potter audiobook series

Rowling's point seems to be: "Forbid trans women from working or appearing anywhere cis women & girls might be". I wonder if she still tells herself she's not a fascist transphobe before she goes to sleep at night.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

It's true - ppl often don't know what others are going thru. For me, long term (35yr) GAD & depression have been retriggered by recent events and growing fears about being in various places as a trans person. My hope lies in building communities of mutual support, so this post feels really fitting.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them. Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

Well said TEN, which joins TACC in withdrawing recognition of EHRC & will push for GANHRI accreditation to be revoked. Dr Stephenson's appt, the Lemkin Inst's Red Alert Flag & the FWS case (which they note solely targeted the 8500 trans ppl with GRCs who HAVE met the UK's strict tests) all feature.

🔔 STATEMENT Trans Exile Network joins @tacc.org.uk in withdrawing recognition of EHRC as a human right's body. A parliamentary committee recommended against appointing Dr. Stephenson as chair of the EHRC. We condemn this appointment. transexilenetwork.co.uk/articles/tra...

Statement: Effective immediately, we will no longer cooperate with the EHRC. We no longer recognise the EHRC as a human rights body. It is no longer independent, and we will not engage with them. We urge other orgs to do the same.

Poor transphobe risks being called a transphobe "merely by writing this article." Well, yes, because it's full of transphobic statements, you plank.

David@davidbtn2.bsky.social · last yr.

A straight, male transphobe gets to write a piece for the @brightonargus.bsky.social about Brighton Pride. Yes, you read that right. The answer to the question is yes, of course, but the question is merely the door through which we find the usual dog whistles… www.theargus.co.uk/news/2534926...

I’d say they are crazy even by Sorting Hat Sandra standards but they aren’t. They are just showing their true colours. They think it’s safe to do so now. Because bigotry has become normalised across the globe under the guise of free speech!

A candidate who is willing to throw transgender people under the bus is a candidate who will use anyone’s rights as a bargaining chip to win elections.

Spot on. They've painted her as a Victim Of Woke: a caring, professional woman & cause celebre for the terfist agenda, bravely taking on trans Dr Beth Upton In reality she's a transphobic racist who mocked Pakistani flood victims, wanted to send bacon to a mosque, and called Dr Upton "freak" & "it"

Annie Wallace@anniewallace.com · last yr.

Evidentially, Sandie Peggie is a contemptible bigot. When supposedly educated people throw their support behind such as her, it's obviously that this is a cult in action. The terfism cult will excuse any gross misconduct and antisocial behaviour if it'll take the transes down a peg.
