Voice update a couple of months later. I’m reading a poem that my partner wrote following my confirmation surgery.

Newspapers and politicians not bothering to learn that it’s called the Equality Act, singular, even though we’ve had it for 16 years

First time giving a urine sample with my new anatomy -- tricky.

(Please don't ask about the vaginal swab -- not too sure I did that right! 😳)

If you work for a media outlet or podcast or something and you’d like to come and review Blink, let me know 🙂 I’ll pass you along to the producers and they’ll get you set up with press creds! Keen to share the love with some smaller queer outlets 💖

"Although Grammarly markets itself as a writing assistant, many of these tools are designed to do your work for you. The fundamental architecture shared by all of Grammarly’s AI tools... makes this clear. This is unfortunate on at least two levels."

JFC...
This (about the 'new' Grammarly AI toolset) is absolutely terrifying, not because the tool is good, but because it is an easy, all-in-one, way to avoid thinking any thoughts or doing any work at all *and 3000 universities say its OK to use*.

If you need someone who isn't trans to confirm this, the 20thC has decades of academic research papers with psychiatrists and therapists bemoaning that trans people simply won't stop being trans. Not electric shocks, psychotherapeutic gaslighting, even Exorcism.
perhaps obvious but as trans folks who spent our childhoods closeted will know, alllllllllll the pressure in the world can't change what you *are*.
If kids are allowed to express themselves too young, they might not end up growing up to be cisgender, and we think we might be able to pressure it out of them if we start early, goes the logic. We might be able to put them on the "correct natural trajectory" by inhibiting their preferred expression

Yet Iceland, despite being a smaller country can do this: "They have more patients and about half the staff of the NGS, yet in two years they eliminated their 700 person waiting list. They usually only need 30-45 minutes of assessment, and in their intensive weeks they’d start 30 people on HRT"

The unstated assumption of everything Cass says is that trans outcomes are inferior to cis outcomes. The Cass review was, as @fiercemum.bsky.social observed, cis-supremacist.

This is fucking despicable. They’re copypasting their abuse of trans people onto new targets now (and many of the same targets, given how much overlap there is).

I had to fight for a shared care agreement with the ADHD meds that I fucking need to function. Taking them from anyone is beyond cruel.

been a minute since I’ve posted The Manifesto so: trans and disabled rights are human rights, abolish ice and defund the police, free Palestine, fuck antisemitism, give the land and artefacts back, sex work is work, abortion is healthcare, join your union, get your vaccines, corgis are perfect

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title…

“How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work”

Way to devalue my experience.

Trans people in the UK would be well-advised to get accessible toilet keys. Get them from us and you can:

A) get them for free if you need one

B) pay and keep your money within a community initiative that's doing vital work to build the support framework the trans community desperately needs.

One year ago today since my vaginoplasty (it's my fannyversary)!

A story in two pics -- before and after. I've never been so high.

Still very happy I did this.

Anyone know how I can contact the editors of BBC News/Kuenssberg…?They have not balanced Cass with someone advocating on behalf of trans children. That is in breach of their charter.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Ok 💪
One very obvious piece of solidarity cis people can engage in now, is, if there are “gender-neutral” loos at work, use them every time.

Hi everyone. As you know, I am our trans rights lead at Good Law Project. I have been working alongside a fantastic team on our challenge since May last year. But whilst what we have achieved is significant - there is still a lot further to go.

If you can, please donate and help us keep fighting.

We've written to Bridget Phillipson to point out she's legally obliged to reject the EHRC's draft guidance

The Government committed in its manifesto to “remove indignities for trans people”. We're asking that they take steps to protect the trans community & correct what the Supreme Court got wrong

The best headline I have seen on this in a major paper:

Trans children ‘will lose any hope of happiness’ under school gender guidance
'Trans children need to be supported and respected.'
