If there’s anything you can do to support trans youth in Alberta right now, start by supporting their recall campaigns against UCP MLAs. They’ve used the same tactics to kill teacher’s bargaining rights. They’ve now used it for trans kids. And they won’t stop there.

This makes Alberta even more dangerous for trans youth than arguably the UK and Aotearoa, and makes it roughly equidistant to certain U.S. states that have passed anti-trans healthcare bans back in 2023 and 2024.

Though, explicitly stripping away trans youth’s right to life is a worldwide first.

so yeah no dont bother with the quip of "but we're all biological haha". everyone knows and you're either preaching to the choir or mounting a pointless defense against bigots who *also* know.

what a lot of people don't know is the extent to which our govt has been captured by bigoted ideologies.

I also analyze patterns of online exclusionary discourse in my book”非二元的な性を生きる”.
Every time a public figure comes out, the posts and reactions become filled with exclusionary takes on nonbinary identities.🥲

These pricks treat disabled people like shit, and then have the audacity to claim that disabled people get special privileges.

In my writing I do often have characters use the toilet so I should probably stop that. You can really characterise people well by what eupehmisms they use and don't use

also i don’t get why people are asking why there is a segregated league. have y’all been living under a rock? do you not see how women get treated in games in general let alone at the professional level? the segregation is self-imposed for safety reasons because men cannot be fucking normal

the australian people have been sold the lie that those on welfare are bludgers and scroungers, when you have to be a hard yakka battler to even get on any of this shit in the first place. I'm lucky I had help. Nobody should need luck.

This can't continue forever, but we already kill ourselves in front of their offices and it doesn't make any difference. They don't think we're people. Most people don't think we're people.

Both unemployment and disability benefits are below the poverty line and viciously means-tested so that if you live with a partner your rate will be cut by $100/week. Disabled people essentially have to remain not just unmarried but single for their entire lives.

I started aligning with Australian unemployment and anti-poverty activists years ago when we had the second-lowest unemployment benefit in the OECD. As of 2024, we have the lowest. Disability benefits are not a great deal higher, and are jealously guarded.
