Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Pretty sure the disabled and trans communities would disagree with you.

"How many trans people have you seen on the BBC in the last 5 years?"
"How many trans kids/families have thanked you for getting the Tavistock closed down?"
"Name me one Olympic medal winning trans athlete"
Simple questions, all with the same answer, yet never asked.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Seeing British centrists celebrate what happened in the USA last night and pretending they wouldn't have all been cheering for Cuomo is pretty funny stuff.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?
After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.
Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

It's cool and all that Brianna Wu finally recognizes that her TERF buddies are snakes, but she spent months cheerleading genocide and where's her apology for that?
She spent weeks calling an Asian woman racist names on social media and said it was okay because her husband is Asian.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Almost 60,000 women have signed this petition by @nionwomen.bsky.social women to say that the transphobes do not speak for them. Meanwhile the Daily Express front-pages seven transphobes, falsely claiming that they “represent women”. If they do not represent you. Please sign.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it
Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

i feel like the bluesky team, or at least maybe jay in particular, has an attitude that everyone hates them forever irredeemably even though most people i've spoken to about this are disappointed, upset, and bewildered, with a strong sentiment that we'd just like them to stop fucking around already.
it might sound crazy but i actually really like bluesky and enjoy my time here and would like it to be a successful sustainable platform

So once again PN have shown their arses so a reminder that if you want news relevant to trans people from UK based outlets, @transsafety.network, @transwrites.world, @whatthetrans.com and @wearequeeraf.com all exist and do much better reporting with far less resources.

"But they're family" fuck off, that person fundamentally disagrees with my existence as a neurodivergent, queer, disabled person. They think that I shouldn't exist, or they promote harmful anti-science rubbish that harms my communities. My life and mental wellbeing are worth more than their biases.

'centrists', liberals, whatever you want to call them who think that facts will beat out fascism and that science will win the day should be reminded of things like this
they all keep saying transphobia is 'reasonable concerns' or 'common sense' while completely ignoring what scientists have to say

My GP is refusing me a flu jab. According to the NHS website I'm eligible for it. The message from my GP literally says "we've added you to the enquiry list. Someone will contact you if they decide you're eligible" what the hell.
