"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”
What does this do for women's rights?

Hey, you there! eagerly downloading that new Full Cast version of those books by the mouldy bigot lady, this is YOU doing that. This is what you are funding, the needlessly cruel ripping up of trans people's lives

If we're talking about the alleged rampant scourge of non-disabled "cheaters," it's worth noting that extended time has a huge impact on test scores for disabled students, but only nominal impact on test scores for non-disabled students.
So if someone "doesn't need it?" Let them have it anyway

Today I learned that the first drum machine was invented in the 12th century by Ismail al-Jazari, the father of robotics, who created a automaton band that played instruments powered by the flow of water. It featured a drummer whose rhythm could be programmed via wooden pegs in slots.

This is true. The United States has always been nothing less than a continent-spanning circus.
People will say anything on here. “We used to be a proper country,” no we didn’t. That’s not true.

We're all activists just for existing, our opponents get to just be people with "concerns."
It's exhausting, and it paints this image that any trans person speaking up about our rights is somehow part of a large (sinister) democrat network.
I just want to exist in peace. 😞

I don't have children or student loans, and I bought a house with money left to me when my mother died, and I never leave those three things out of the "how did you transition into freelancing full time" conversation because otherwise it is WILDLY disingenuous to talk about how writing pays my bills
And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.

reminder to parents of trans children:
breaking the rules to save your child years of suffering and possibly their life is your moral duty, get them on the correct hormones no matter what and don't bother with "doing things the right way"

And let's not even get started on the absurdity of looking for a positive impact from a preventative measure, where the expected outcome is "not getting worse"
Puberty blockers had no measurable impact on divorce rates, therefore ineffective treatment.

(Also the trial measures blockers’ impact on “gender dysphoria,” which some of us have been saying for years is an inherently pathologising diagnosis easily manipulated to curtail bodily autonomy, but ☕️🐸)

The only conclusion to draw at this point is that the Bluesky moderation team and C suite are racist. They made an example of an autistic Black man and have never said a word despite overwhelming community support for Link.
I spent a lot of time and energy advocating for this place and I regret it.
