Actually I'm dropping the vagueness BC the replies to the original announcement going "this is a pointless waste of money just do this!!!" all posting the same link to a DIY *feminising* HRT page are v upsetting.
tell me you think "trans" inherently means "needs estrogen" without telling me, etc etc

Pro tip: If that new thing that's been set up to help your community seems like it won't help you personally because you have access to other resources, great! That means you can keep using that!
You can leave the folks who might actually rely on that system to decide if it's worthwhile and helpful.

We asked trans and non-binary people in Scotland about their experiences with housing and homelessness. This included questions around their ability to rent or buy their homes and their experiences of interacting with landlords and housing associations, or experiencing housing insecurity.

As we hit the time of year where Everyone gets the sniffles, and we start seeing more & more posts from parents getting into trouble for their kids being off sick, I'm reminded of the absolute shitshow that was my primary school's approach to illness, explained on the monthly newsletter.

Still find it fucking hilarious that mens' toilets are still a grey area for me re: passing (safest option but I still get yelled at sometimes), but gym locker rooms where they can see a lot more of my "female anatomy" have never once been an issue.

Perfectly Normal Chronic Illness observation: apparently at some point in the last week I regained feeling in my thigh and I never fuckin noticed.

Genuinely do wonder how much of the internalised shame & discomfort in being part of a marginalised group comes from the fact that we only ever compare ourselves to other people like us because those are the people that surround us.

Eyeliner is ridiculous tbh, "The most sensitive part of your face will look even cooler if you draw round it, really close to the delicate bit, with some super-dark pigment that Will smear everywhere if you touch it. Putting this on Will tickle/itch and make you wanna touch it."

Got Got by some twat fleeing down the bus lane and hitting the puddle right next to my bus stop.
Drenched head to toe.
Thankfully had my head down with a cap on and a bag in my lap so they took the worst of it (except below the knees) but now I have to go to work looking like I've been dunked.

Compulsory ID will put far too much power in the hands of the Government. Even if you think you can trust Starmer (?!) just consider for a moment how a Tory or Reform Government would abuse that power.
