‘What have I done wrong?’ Trans kids go back to school bathroom bans in Scotland
Councils rushing to put policies on school bathrooms in place leave trans children facing confusion, distress and the risk of being outed.

THREAD🧵: Schools & teachers need to be clear.
If you are failing to affirm a trans/non-binary child's gender, incl. allowing them to use the toilet that matches their gender, you are harming them.
You are *harming* children.
Whatever reasons you may have for doing it, you are harming them...

Building a Debugger is now officially released!
It guides you through building a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.
Even if you don't care about building a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

These are beautiful and I'm so honoured to have inspired this!
Did some extremely fun pins inspired in @pixieauthoress.bsky.social's work - but in Spanish!
These were a fatphobic, misoginistic book and now they're unique little things. It was such a joy to work on this. Can't wait to wreck another shitty book.

Wilkie Collins' book Armadale contains four characters called Allan Armadale. Another of his books has the premise "twins but in love with the same blind woman but one of them is blue for medical reasons". I'm saying, sod Chat GPT, get your plots from laudanum.

Did you know there's a UK lending library dedicated to books by and about trans and queer people?
It's free to join and use, and they will post books anywhere in the UK.
Their collection started out focused on academic books on Transgender Studies, out of reach to so many.

we are depriving generations of kids of the formative experience of stumbling upon some weird horny sci-fi or fantasy book that was absolutely not written for them, which is the kind of thing that makes reading feel exhilarating, like you are unlocking the grownup world’s fun secrets

It's high time we stopped being measured about how we discuss the reactionary panic surrounding trans youth.
The conservative position is that parents have a right to abuse their children in any way they wish, and that abuse regarded is righteous and justified if the goal is to prevent transition.

How the fuck are you supposed to find a missing trans kid without using the name they would be using for themselves?
New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

A lot of the queer discourse is explained by the fact that transfemininity is hypervisibile to the point of being considered a marker of the wider queer community's aesthetic, but trans women themselves are entirely de-centered.

I do not want to see pictures of that one Based DOGE Zoomer with the broccoli haircut anymore. He looks like if one of the Ghoulies was 1) real and 2) rich enough that his dad owned a sailboat. He looks a toilet brush that somehow developed the ability to become libertarian. Enough.
