That means there’s no staff to alert you if your pacemaker is recalled
If an implantable device in your body is toxic or broken
This could have catastrophic health impacts & cost lives

Rightwing scumbags rioting and shouting 'get them out,' after an asylum seeker was accused of sexual assault. Why are they not rioting against white cis-het Irish men, who are responsible for the vast majority of assaults against women and girls here? Oh, right...

The irish presidential election is basically now between "dog fighting transphobe" and "woman who destroys children in soccer matches"
I will be voting for Connoly in support of her war on childrens egos.

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant.
Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

the thing about these anti-trans democrats is they bring a real ‘some folks get left behind’ energy to the ‘no one gets left behind’ conversation and at best it feels like cowardice and at worst bigotry masquerading as pragmatism

It's a contest between Newsome and Buttigieg for worst Democrat and my hope is that more of those types compete with each other and split the vote up making it a lot easier for a pro-trans, anti-genocide, anti-ICE, etc candidate to win comfortably

One of the few things I'm absolutely sure of is that there's nothing wrong with being trans. We're just a type of person. We deserve equality because all people deserve equality.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

On International Non-Binary day, here's a reminder that non-binary ppl (like all ppl) are diverse, with varied gender experiences, presentations and bodies. They are not just women-lite or 'actually' men. Trying to categorize us into binaries is reductive and missing the point of who we are as ppl.

In recent months, we’ve heard from several families who were referred to social services simply for supporting their trans child’s access to legal, gender-affirming care.
