Hey all, my mate DMAC is raising money for the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home. Animal shelters really need help at this time of year! If you can spare a few quid, please chip in. tilt.fyi/w4c8t5nksO

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

If you missed this earlier in the week, I wrote a piece about the British Library cyberattack, the crisis in UK Higher Education, and what we can do to fix our infrastructure that isn't sitting around waiting for the Government to help.

i posted about this in a different context but mutual aid networks are also a lifeline for trans people and between the tech layoffs hitting trans people and minorities particular hard, purging military and tying to across goverments those networks have definitely gotten devastated

"Demeaning" trans people is exactly right. Their goal--and what they're most able to easily achieve--is our humiliation. The imposition of indignities. They also hope that, as humiliations often do, it exposes us to ridicule. Perhaps even violence. (e.g. forcibly outing people on their IDs).

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

The NHS just did a big independent review that concluded that ADHD is still significantly under diagnosed and under supported.

But that's not the answer he wanted.

So he's ordering a new conclusion.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

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.

The Telegraph going after the Quakers because the Quakers won't be assholes to trans people.

That opening paragraph by Daniel Martin is lol. It's Helen Joyce doing the accusing.
Quakers refuse to ban trans women from female lavatories The Daily Telegraph27 May 2025By Daniel Martin Deputy political editor QUAKERS have been accused of “destroying” their reputation as pioneers on women’s rights by refusing to provide female-only lavatories. The group said its lavatories in Britain would remain “trans inclusive” despite the ruling by the Supreme Court that the word “sex” in the Equality Act refers to biological sex and not gender identity. It said it was not desirable to monitor who uses its facilities, adding: “We can- not guarantee any shared space as exclusive for one group of people.” The Quakers have gained a reputa- tion for their progressive attitude towards women, having allowed them to preach as early as the 17th century. But Helen Joyce, the director of advocacy at Sex Matters, a women’s rights group, said they appeared to have abandoned that legacy by adopting “textbook trans activism”. “Early Quakers were famously supportive of women’s rights – they would surely be shocked and ashamed if they could see the destruction of that proud legacy,” she added. #TransAgendaClips

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

Agreed. You have to make sure you are directing your justifiable anger toward the perpetrators.

Being angry at the Womens Institute or Girl Guides is like being mad at someone for being taken hostage and complying with the guy with the gun.

Like, this is why they're targetting those organisations. They're shooting fish in a barrel because they know those organisations can't fight back. The organsiations that want to be trans inclusive are allies, not the enemy. Don't let the actual villains convince you otherwise

My desktop has been getting increasingly unreliable. I have changed the graphics card out just over a month ago, and was still getting random freezing. Now I’m also getting black-screen of death. I fear that my CPU is fucked.

Having been a Brownie, Guide and young leader, and then had a Brownie daughter, I’ve always been proud of Girlguiding’s inclusivity. So I’m devastated to hear that they’ve decided to exclude trans girls from the organisation. Sign here to protest (and appeal directly if you have contact with them).

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.
