Trans girls in the UK are being banned from Snooker to soccer and it’s not due to a shred of “evidence” that shows trans women on feminising hormones are a threat to safety or fairness in the female category of UK sports.

Also, reminder that a kid being trans in practice mostly just means them having the clothes, haircut and version of their name that they prefer. That's what Rowling thinks is "more harm than lobotomies"
They used to say there was no such thing as gay kids. That it was a choice that could be beaten or tortured out of them through conversion therapy

if anyone has ever needed proof that sex is, in fact, assigned at birth then look no further than the case of the AMAB cis girl

Lots of new followers, so I just wanna make this clear from the start: trans rights are human rights, I support an end to genocide all over the world, believe women and abortion should not just be legal, but readily available without shame. If you wanna debate any of the above, ya blocked.

I had to get photos taken for a thing today and this is the first time in ages I haven’t hated a picture of myself that somebody else took, so naturally it must be shared

I just heard about the things that Scottish academic Michael Scanlan has been doing and I am disgusted. I followed him on Twitter and here, and had no idea this was going on.
I sent him a BlueSky invite code as he’d asked on Twitter for one. That is the only time we spoke via DM.

After being a massive fangirl for ages, I’m now volunteering with the absolutely wonderful Friends of GRI - a charity based at my work - and I’m SUPER excited!! Among many other things, they find and maintain the beehives that my office overlooks and have a whole MUSEUM!
