I just had my heart dragged from my body, shattered into stardust, and placed back into me joyful, full, and raw.
I watched Come See Me in the Good Light with my beloved.
I regret nothing.

Personal bodily autonomy is an absolute, and every effort to curtail it inevitably becomes mired in regressive conservativism. It's the basis for all appropropriate consent scenarios, including healthcare, work, & personal relationships.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I’m so fucking angry.
This is exactly what I’ve warned all you continual supporters of Labour about for years.
They have NOTHING for you- only threats that what follows is worse, as they appeal actively to the supporters of those evil policies.
Leave this rancid, ideologically hollowed out party.

This is the politics of blackmail. The alternative is not a Reform government. The alternative is maintaining our international commitments to being a compassionate nation

As a newcomer to Canada, discovering land acknowlegements has been humbling, and a really great way of keeping in mind my privileges and responsibilities, especially as a Brit.
collective memory is something you have to work at constantly, and the persistent drumbeat of land acknowledgements is an extremely valuable way to produce widespread consciousness of basic material fact of dispossession and genocide
my wokest opinion is that land acknowledgements are fine. people knowing a little bit about the land you're on, even if one isn't invested in a land back project, is not particularly worse than the status quo, even if one comes by this info in a way that is somewhat cringe and forced

Last night was particularly bad for night terrors, to the point where our little black cat came and soothed me like a gentle, nurturing sweetheart, with no velvet paw swiping sass at all.
Of course, emotionally the day after is usually the pits and she's now Madam Snooty McJudgystare again.

"If trans women are women, why not just say [pregnant] women?"
Transphobes love to demonise trans women as 'pushing themselves into women's spaces' but this is literally cis bigots completely vanishing pregnant trans masc and enby ppl, and making out that trans women are who this language is for. 🙄

Great to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social on @skynewsrss.bsky.social this morning standing up for trans people.
It’s clear that Trevor Phillips was trying to trap Zack by not giving him all the facts! Martine Croxall not only eye rolled, she changed a direct quote - unethical for a journalist!

No celebration of the bravery this girl had and fight for a world where she could have lived as herself but instead regret of affirmation and judgement for her “foolish“ choice to be her in this world and if only she had been more sheltered and controlled maybe she would be alive

We all live with this knowledge of the risks we take and the bravery it takes to be ourselves and we’re being confronted with a horrific scenario where the idea is that us getting punished for it is only natural, nothing to be done about it but to keep us in the closet

I've made considerable content speaking about shifting the negative perception of masculinity by being a decent masculine person & it's always depressing when trans masc folk run headlong into a version of red-pill misogyny. We make a change by being the change, not by whining 'Not All Trans Mascs!'

My dad giggles as he says the very worst things, even while he's angrily ranting. He once told me about a gay-bashing he joined as though it was a funny anecdote. I used to think he changed, but the truth is, I just became an adult who rejected his kind of manhood and now see who he always was.
there is something genuinely wrong with rightwingers, their entire base line of their entire political project on every level is making sure people are suffering and take joy in that

Enjoyed this. What good does it do to point out that cis people sometimes get procedures that are almost identical to some trans healthcare, when it's specifically trans healthcare that is under threat? Do we seriously think noticing irony is the lever that will tip the scales towards equity?
Cis people don’t get gender-affirming care
Or do they? Let's take a closer look.

One of the most facile transphobe tactics is to make out that HRT increases certain risk factors & they never follow the thought through. As this study shows, what it does is put the person into the same risk/benefit column as the transition goal group, which is the whole point in the first place.

Hormone Therapy For Trans Women Shifts Dozens Of Proteins To Align With Their Gender Identity
The protein changes observed in a group of trans women after gender-affirming hormone treatment were similar to what is seen in cis women receiving HRT in menopause.

Tired of being dismissed as 'deluded girl' or a 'traitor to my sex' by not meekly accepting the status of token masculine woman to help the 'lefty' transphobes cling to their self-identification.
They don't care about 'females'.
They just need cover so they can indulge their transmisogyny.

It's absolutely obnoxious that becoming a parent or not is something that could conceivably hinder the recognition of anyone's rights, but I can't say I'm surprised when so much anti-trans bigotry is based in using reproductive capacity to define 'true' gender.

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

Watched the Thunderbolts* the other night, and cried my eyes out.
Such a well drawn tale about the destructive power of self-hate and hopelessness, and how we need the support of others to overcome those things.
