The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.

We are particularly interested in work that bridges the gap between disciplines; works that agitate, distort and/or subvert heteronormative or cisnormative ideologies; and works that centre marginalised voices.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Funnily enough I just got called Sir by the train conductor because I have short hair and was wearing a hat… so what I’m saying is that I’m sure this will all work out great.
The core aim of the Terf movement - a tiny number of newspaper columnists who melted the brains of middle aged reactionaries - was always to encourage maximum public hostility against transgender people, and give them the impunity to act upon it.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Trans folk endure political violence that negates their identities, strips away their healthcare and excludes them from public life. They’re trashed as an “ideology.” But they’re people. They deserve to live in a world that unconditionally nurtures their existence.
