One trans woman has competed at the Olympic level, I believe, in the 2+ decades trans women could have. She didn’t win any medals. The association the media want you to make here is that trans women are dominating women’s sports while also continuing a toxic narrative about women’s appearances
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Yesterday I was waiting at a crossing and a young girl said “Look, rainbow shoes” and her mum said “and look at her bright green coat” and as I started crossing the girl said “and her flower bag” and I felt like the coolest woman in the world in that moment ☺️

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...
Politicizing Transgender Athletes Is Dangerous. Lia Smith Deserved Better.

Ask not what rights you're ready for trans people to lose so that the left wins. Ask yourself what rights you're ready to lose, yourself, so that the left wins. And if the answer is "I don't see how me losing rights is necessary for the left to win?", go take a long walk on a short pier.

This is truly horrific and somehow acknowledges that misgendering is abuse but not against trans people
5. Confronted with an argument that this allows students to bully cis students by misgendering them as well, the judges said that such conduct would be barred. Misgendering cisgender students would be "ridiculing their physical characteristics." But apparently not when its done to trans students.

I’ve been having fun painting over cards from other games I don’t play any more to make tokens for magic. I’ve seen some crazy paint overs and these are not that but it’s still really fun and relaxing to do

I think I've just finished ordering for my Halana and Alena, Gruulfriends "put it together for fun and on the cheap" sapphic deck and somehow I spent $100+ on it 😅. Looking forward to playing this very low powered deck soon

Bingo. The only problem I have with being trans is the way cis people treat me. I would never go back and I regret absolutely nothing besides not doing it sooner.
despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

Chatting with some cis game devs and them talking about GDC and the possibility of going and then asking me and I’m like “yeah in no way is that safe” and that just washing over them while they talk about how cool it would be to go together sure feels bad

Denying trans people who we are is straight up killing us. They keep talking about biological reality while actually ignoring it to our detriment
Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.
My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.
This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.
