Feminist and geeky trans queer girl, C & Rust coder. I mostly post about trans, maker and tech stuff though I primarily post over on mastodon.

Created an account over here as it feels like this is where most the trans activisty stuff is going on.
For anyone who recognises from my twitter days I've also got an account over on Mastodon where most my less serious stuff is posted!

It’s so funny how mental health services in this country are actually abhorrent and Streeting wants another ‘enquiry’ to make them even less accessible

Bingo! Everyone is wondering why Wes Streeting seemingly has it in for ADHD sufferers as well as trans kids. I immediately thought Project 2025, and I looked in the Heritage Foundation's "2025 Mandate for Leadership" document. Nothing there, but it's in RFK Junior's MAHA Report. "Overdiagnosis."

Self-ID for left handed to be ended.

Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists.

Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet.

NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases.

Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

Not for the first time, there is functionally no difference, in the impact on our lives, between an organization that cuts off trans healthcare due to open bigotry and one that does so while hand-wringing about how hard a choice it is. What matters is that trans people still aren't getting care.

Reactionary centrists are getting everything they wanted out of the UK's Labour party, a purge of trans people from society, a crackdown on immigration, austerity measures on social safety net programs. It's only made Reform more popular and decimated Labour's support.

Nothing says feminism like forcing women to do something they have been vocal about not wanting to do.

if you genuinely want to argue that the Equality Act, when introduced, intended to make unlawful an approach to trans inclusion that has existed *since the 1970s*, I absolutely cannot take you seriously

People have this weird idea that if you don't think people are evil, it's because you are naive and think every terrible act is secretly justified or something.

I don't know how to tell y'all that that is Christianity talking. I can think humans aren't evil & still think some are pieces of shit.

I'm saying that there are no people who are somehow "built different" enough that they must always be evil. I am saying that any choice to do evil is an *active, consistent* choice by people who could, at any point, choose otherwise, but they consistently refuse to.

I'd hate to be a boat owner after this passes.

Imagine all the information that could be be useful for your navigation but which would ALSO be potentially useful to those guiding small boats across the Channel.

Will the Shipping Forecast cease broadcasting? That, after all, makes crossings easier.

This. We do not deserve to be abandoned. We deserve the full throated support of people who claim to support us. Not the apologetic shuffle of "sorry, but it's hard!"
I think a lot of trans people go way too easy on organisations that choose to be complicit in our oppression. I believe this is due to internalised transphobia. We often don't think we're important enough for other people to care about our safety, wellbeing, and equitable involvement in society.

Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.

Keir Starmer
100%

He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

genuinely, I think it's a very good thing if you give the transfems in your life a safe space to talk about all the horrifically traumatic things they've gone through and also told them how fucked up some of those things are because we'll often downplay so many things and need to hear it
I am continually amazed at the things transfems have gone through and how much we all endure and still manage to persist. None of us deserve any of it, but we soldier on and sometimes it's nice to swap stories and commiserate about it

I don’t know who needs to hear this but

You don’t need to “have it worse” to be valid in the abuse/trauma you went through

Just because somebody else “had it worse”, doesn’t take away from what you went through

It’s fine, really, what you went through DID happen and it IS trauma and abuse

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.
