this as an action cis people can take to reduce the risks presented to trans women and femmes. cis people, especially cis women, can also use their voices to fight against workplaces who enforce trans-exclusionary rules around bathrooms. please never assume trans people don’t work with you.
If this “solution” is implemented in your workplace and you are a cis woman, consider using the accessible toilet yourself just so any trans sisters are not forcibly outed by being the only ones suddenly switching from the ladies. I’ll be doing this

police have a history of this. when the black panthers distributed food to children they sabotaged those efforts by urinating on the food. unreformable & grotesque. though on the other hand, a big sign that mutual aid programs are considered a real threat to the status quo

i think it’s also worth being honest about the fact that researchers by and large engage with sex work through an inherently oppressive gaze; one which looks down upon all sex workers, but especially trans sex workers, and seeks to delegitimatise it as a form of work as a whole.
And like even more than that, they see transition as a whole as frivolous - so needing to sell sex to pay for rent while living as a trans person due to becoming unemployable is seen as a matter of lifestyle choice that could be abandoned if you detransitioned.
There's a vast gulf between trans and cis understanding of what it means for a trans sex worker to say she needed to sell sex to pay for surgery.
We read that the same as if a diabetic said they needed to sell sex to pay for insulin. Cis people still see our medical needs as frivolous, a choice.

Oh this does not seem to demonstrate the claim made. The only way you could think that is if you're prejudiced against the woman you're interviewing.

Disability assessments are notoriously incredibly traumatic and triggering. Many claimants have increased self-harm, suicidal ideation and sometimes hospitalisation before them. Imagine the pressure it would now be if 4 points ON ONE ITEM is necessary not just for PIP but LCWRA!

Reading The Times report on speculated PIP cuts, I’m struck by not only how many people will lose vital support but how much we are already degraded to qualify. Have a stranger ask you how you wash “below the waist” and then tell us how easy it is to claim disability benefits.

The barrier to entry for receiving PIP for mental illness is already staggeringly high. It is unfathomable that this government is moving to make people experiencing psychosis, bipolar disorder, severe OCD, depression, personality disorders, PTSD...more financially insecure. To what possible end?

we need to push harder. we must force them into not just a u-turn on all proposed cuts and freezes but a vast improvement of the system. we can’t be forced backwards into accepting PIP as it is. people are stuck in poverty and they are dying waiting for benefits right now, already, today.

i cannot express enough how fucking terrifying this is. it is not an exaggeration at all to say these cuts are going to kill disabled people.
it’s hard to even explain to someone who hasn’t been through a PIP application process how evil, barbaric and unashamedly discriminatory these changes are.

“DWP claimed there had been a “staggering 319 per cent increase” in working-age people on the health and disability element of universal credit/ receiving ESA. The increase is likely to be about 30 to 35 per cent, if comparing 2019-20 with 2023-24.”THEY’RE LYING to do ideologically driven austerity.
So DWP pulled some numbers out of its arse without them being correct so Ministers in the cabinet can push out a cut on said benefits which won't be rising that much as it was stated.
