Very well said. Please share this far and wide.

I was a kid once. And my biggest regret in life is that I never got a childhood without pain.

Politicians should never insert themselves into the personal health care decisions of patients, parents, and their providers—and that includes trans Americans.

Nigel Farage is probably delighted today that Reform have the most members of a political party.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Girl Guides of Canada has made a statement, likely in response to the cowardly decisions of Girlguiding UK. 🏳️‍⚧️
Girl Guides of Canada Inclusion makes Girl Guides of Canada stronger. It ensures that girls and youth have a place to build confidence, develop the skills to thrive and connect with a community that sees them for who they truly are. Girl Guides of Canada welcomes all girls - cisgender and transgender - as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in spaces that focus on and are driven by the experience of girls. Learn more about our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility at girlguides.ca/inclusivity Girl Guides logo with a trans flag ribbon in one corner.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Self-ID for left handed to be ended.

Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists.

Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet.

NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases.

Contact us if you have been affected by the policy changes of Girl Guiding or the Women's Institute. This could be as an individual, or because you lead a local Brownie group who don't want this policy change. We want to help protect trans inclusion.

A statement from the Trans Greens regarding a recent decision by Girlguiding to exclude girls and young women who were not recorded female at birth.
A statement on the recent Girlguiding decision. We are incredibly disappointed by this decision, and concerned for the effects it will have on trans Guides, their Guides friends, and Guiding groups. It must be reversed. Girlguiding decided to exclude girls and young women who were not recorded female at birth. This puts a vital support network out of reach for many young women and girls that need it most. They are being robbed of friendships, support and community. They are being segregated. Many of our members were involved in scouting organisations when they were younger; some of us now hold positions of responsibility within those organisations, or have done so in the past. We all recognise the value that Guides brings to children and young people. Historically, Guides has provided safety, support and community for trans girls; girls who are already marginalised and face a high risk of harm. It is clear that this decision is wrong and will have a devastating impact. Girlguiding opposes sexism and misogyny. But it is now following a transmisogynist Court and EHRC. “Whoever they are, wherever they're from, girls can do anything”. We demand Girlguiding live up to its ambitions. Girlguiding must reverse this decision. All girls can do anything. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

This should be a national scandal. Trans youth who were provided evidence-based care from WellBN are now being cut off from it.

Yet GnRH agonists continue to be prescribed to cis children under 16.

This is performative cruelty by NHSE. Trans youth are being punished for existing.

This is the harm the misogynistic EHRC is causing to ALL women. Their code of practice is deeply disparaging of ALL women.

When Brianna Ghey was murdered, part of me thought "NOW they'll have to acknowledge the violence structured against us, now that there's a clear case of a girl being murdered for who she was."

I never anticipated "if only she didn't have internet access, they would have targeted someone else!"

This would explain *a lot*

Mum clearly thinks social media transed her kid, and if she wasn't trans she wouldnt have been murdered in cold blood, so social media is to blame.
