Heads up, the Jeremy Vine show are sniffing around trying to get a trans woman on their show to "debate" if the UK was right to try and take away our rights etc.

Don't say yes if invited. It's a gotcha. They're aiming to set up a panel with multiple anti trans voices platformed as authoratative.

apparently one night, hot springs on android (my game about a trans woman going to the hot springs) will be blocked in russia for containing "prohibited information promoting non-traditional sexual relations and (or) preferences, pedophilia, gender reassignment" ♨🎮

trans rights are human rights

This is called bigotry and prejudice. JK Rowling’s domestic abuse service bans women who are trans - even those fully transitioned with a GRC and no criminal record - from working at or using the service. The reason for the ban? Just being trans.

I don't like doing this but if you enjoy the work I've put into the feed, could some of you raise a 🤏 wee bit of hell over the mess that is language filtering and detection on this app? Reposts appreciated. 🙏 #FixLanguages

Addressing this issue, opened nearly two years ago, would be a huge start.
Booleanize language filtering by feed · Issue #1074 · bluesky-social/social-app
