🧵 A special thread thanking some people & organisations that have helped get me here
When I started regularly using this route back in 2017, I was in an transphobic, abusive household...
Since then, the 96 has gotten me home from a TDoR vigil. Let's thank some of the people who helped me get here.

Picked these two books up today for a quick read. There are quite a few concerning changes, but only one change really concerns AQA... the rest of the transphobia is on revision websites and guides 🤨

We did *only* the correct things - If we'd stayed in Schipol we'd be stranded, but currently I'm on the Stena Line back to the UK 🔥🔥

will never cease to amaze me that china built out it's HSR infra for about a trillion dollars - while the US spends roughly 1.5 trillion a year just on *car ownership*

The motion will not be heard today, neither Reform councillor showed up.
A TERF started kicking off and was shown the door by a trans person and security.

✅ Yesterday, I finally ticked off the only Fastrack route I never got to do back in the old days - The Fastrack AZ!
The IE Trams also go really fast on the A2, whilst remaining very smooth.

Yesterday was Transgender Day of Remembrance. I was at the vigil in Nottingham, as well as supporting my transgender siblings throughout their transition. Because of this, I am only getting around to writing a post now.

Running from Noord to Amsterdam Zuid (literally North <--> South), it is the newest metro line and the only one to cross the IJ.
The line is recognisable by its Battersea-Extension-Esque architecture, VERY fast speeds and complete separation from the rest of the network.

the minutes of the October meeting between WellBN and SussexICB are chilling. Andrew Dodson from the Sussex side just openly saying patients will be “deprescribed,” that they’ll have no choice and won’t be allowed to talk to the team taking their healthcare away

Taking away life saving care is murder.
Imagine if you did this in any other field of medicine:
- Removing someone's pacemaker
- Preventing prescription of an Epi Pen to someone with serious allergies
But yes, it's all ok just because they're trans. /s 🙄

A very heavy police presence is at the scene today.
According to the counterprotesters, one protester was arrested this morning.
Furthermore, security at the event entrance has been massively increased with full height metal gates and more stewards.

Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets.
This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively.
They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.
