3) comparing sexual consent to a cup of tea
I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?

I'll go first. I'm the woman who caused Dave Ramsey to mass-block Royals Twitter.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

I've never been to a gig with such a massive police presence or protest/counter protest outside it before.

On this side of the road, a sea of Palestine flags. On the other, a smattering of Israel Flags & the St George flag. That side are playing Bob Marley? Weird.

A thorough and intellectually robust exploration of the epistemology and sociology underlying the Trans Panic in Britain. Every ally of trans rights should read this and try to internalize it. Doing so will make your arguments against transphobes far more convincing.
“The courts are not the paramount legal framers in the UK, that would be the UK Parliament. All Parliament needs do is pass legislation stating that trans people are who they affirm themselves to be, and not a social problem requiring exorcism from society.”

Yet Parliament shirks responsibility! 😣

I did this when i read about the Spotify ceo funding autonomous AI war robots

It was really easy
If you’re canceling and want to preserve your playlists/songs, you can use SongShift. It will help transfer to platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, Soundcloud, Deezer, Audiomack, Discogs, Hype Machine, Napster, Qobuz, and YouTube.
Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Saw a news report yesterday about children as young as 9 being given weight loss jabs on the NHS, and I think it shows just how utterly bullshit the “lack of research into long term impacts” excuse for banning puberty blockers for trans kids really was. It’s purely ideological.

I am begging podcasters and journalists who are making content about "the manosphere" to properly engage with the history of it, via writers like David Futrelle. If i hear one more piece that says "it's about self-improvement" or "it started after COVID" or doesn't mention incel, MRA or MGTOWS...

Rich and powerful men are way more of a risk to women and girls than trans women or migrants

Not just because they tend to get away with abuse, but because of the control they have over the narrative of who is the biggest risk to women and girls

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.
Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents?
I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.
This code is both cruel and unworkable.
Please write to your MP.
🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

I learned at school that "double negatives" are generally considered poor grammar, and tend to be used either by bad writers or those who want to obfuscate meaning.

"Anti-antifa"? Just plain fascism.
