My biggest problem with the word "transgender" is that it was never a word to describe physical or social transition.
▶️It was meant to mean anyone disadvantaged for not obeying the social rules of masculinity or femininity.
It describes a form of oppression, not the nature of a person.

Trans:gender · Refining a Word That Was Meant to Unite - Transiness
A reflection on how “transgender” once meant solidarity among the gender-oppressed, and how reclaiming that meaning could help us unite again.

You have people who transition under the umbrella of gender apostates. That's where respect for differences and experiences truly lies. That's where we build each other up and respect our differences. "The transgender umbrella", as a concept, failed to unite those who "trans" gender & gender exiles.

A boss in my distant past once said to me, “fear is the best motivator.”*
It was BS then and it’s BS now.
You want the best out of people? Give them HOPE.
*I quit a few months after she said this. Within three months of me quitting, the company folded.

We hear a number of police forces are in deep, re unlawful dissemination of sensitive-restricted PNC data of a trans woman, to 3rd-parties with no right or legitimate need for the information. This includes a number of 'Gender Critical' activists that includes a director of an anti-trans hate-group

Could denying puberty blockers specifically targeting trans children, though allowing it for other conditions and forcing detransition be considered a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY and be illegal under international law?

Terfs and critters make no sense at all. Most of them are straight and f*ck men.
As someone who is *genuinely* afraid of cis women, I can tell you that being intimate with a cis woman isn't anything I'd even like to think about. Not even for a second.
So no, they don't know the meaning of afraid.

Even now, if you were to divide the 48,000 by 15, and then by the working days per year that would mean that if every GIC were to see a very reasonable 8 people per day, in 2 years, everyone would be seen.

This leaves me with complex feelings. While I'm sympathetic to anyone experiencing a crisis, there's a sense of disparity with the hopelessness, isolation and fear that often precipitate my own issues, and that of my trans sisters (esp post SC). I'm touched that, regardless, they offer solidarity.

I’ve had a 48 hour mental health crisis. I told someone I didn’t want to be here. That I was thinking of taking all my tablets. I said I was unsafe. Then they made to leave me on my own. That was the trigger. I didn’t matter. 🧵

Emotional afternoon. My sister gave me a load of moving boxes, packing tape etc. Gave me a hug and said I need to leave (the country!). We both acknowledged there's a slight hope the govt may pull back and blame the EHRC, but likely won't.

Bridget thinks that not dwelling on mistakes (aka reflection) is a great leadership position.
I think that's a really dangerous thing for anyone to think is normal behaviour for anyone in power, especially over the lives of 67 million people at home, and all those affected abroad.

I had always wondered about the "exception" loophole, which seemed to fly in the face of actual protection.
It was muddied to include "reasonable concerns", however the intention was for exceptions only in the case of those starting to transition.

8/ Sections about exceptions. One key point is that certain exceptions apply only “during the process of gender reassignment”. These exceptions were only partially modified by the Gender Recognition Act, and the Supreme Court has never fully explained this in its judgment.

I'm just posting this again, because we all need to be completely clear that despite sex differentiation starting at 10 wks gestation, every cell in anyones body is very unlikely to be 100% "male" or 100% "female".

Why our organs cannot simply be classified as male or female
Biological sex is usually described in simple binary terms: male or female. This works well for germ cells (sperm versus eggs), but for other body organs it is of little help.

While people like to take a pop at me for being some kind of "armchair activist" (not that it has happened that often, but it does), I have always been an integral part of my local community, donating my time, my ear, and my support directly where it matters. On SM, I am deliberately anonymous.

It breaks me because I cannot not see this is torturing and killing actual human beings. My sisters and brothers, my kin. It breaks me because I know some shadow of how they feel. And it utterly destroys me because I know there are people who have actually convinced themselves we are not even human.

A common theme for "gender critical" women is the inability respect boundaries.
The entitlement over our bodies, our healthcare, our (lack of) safety, and our lives is *extreme*.

And they're absolutely right to.
The Scottish Green Party just voted to reject the legitimacy of the EHRC as the British equalities regulator following the decision to override the Equalities Committee to install the new chair Mary-Ann Stephenson.

And they're absolutely right to.
The SC ruling has paved the way for basing dignity and rights on a piece of paper at birth rather than actual biological and social reality.
This was made clear in Goodwin as a fundamental infringement on human rights.
