ive been saying a lot recently that transitioning feels like moving into some1s old place n they left all their stuff here. i have all these memories of experiences n feelings but it feels largely like as if id found some1 else's journal as opposed 2 being thoughts feelings n experiences of my own.
How do you explain what happened to your past self once you transitioned?
Are they dead? Alive within you? Never alive in the first place? Or something else entirely?

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.
@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Being a leftist is fun because it's mostly you and your buddies very loudly saying "this system doesn't work and if we don't do anything about it shits gonna get bad" only to be told "shut up don't be unrealistic" and then shit gets bad and those same people are like "wow I hope you're happy."

We know conversion therapy doesn’t work because the society we live in is conversion therapy. It is deeply rotted through with oppositional sexism and attendance is considered mandatory, no small infraction unnoticed. Not everyone can find the exit door, a deep injustice that often goes unnoticed.

ordinarily the rigging of nominally independent public bodies would be a scandal, and a line of attack for opposing political parties, but hey ho it's only the trannies.
Badenoch has openly said that the GC movement pursued a strategy of institutional capture and it worked, so... yeah, I feel like that's where we're at now.

Since tomorrow is another day of protest/action/being around a lot of other people & chanting & being mad together, here is your reminder to MASK. Mask to protect others. Mask to protect yourself. Mask to show disabled people that they are welcome & safe in your activist spaces.
Please. Mask.

as a rule i am very much in favour of picking our rhetorical battles, at least in terms of public comms. but we cannot cede a single fucking inch on the "biological woman" framing without accepting permanent status as second-class citizens

A tale of two movies:
Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.
One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.
The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.
And yet this is the coverage.

Pretending to raise trans issues in good faith, then immediately settle them against trans ppl is a long-time bad-faith nyt tactic
