Cracking my middle aged egg in May 2025 in the UK. Impeccable timing you could say. Trans women, she/her, Scotland Block and move on if an interaction is joyless.

We have signed this joint letter to MPs across the UK calling for robust Parliamentary scrutiny of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) forthcoming Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
As a wise person once said, the one thing we can learn from history is that humans are incapable of learning anything from history.
I know this sounds like pure conspiracy, but it's feeling more and more possible as we see so many parts of the labour party line up each next attack on our rights. They haven't been fighting fair from the start, it all feels too well planned.
The US org says, OK sure, here's your test. Repeal all trans rights and we'll kill all other funding before the next election giving you a free run....
All the labour party leader asks in return is that if he can prove himself useful enough then the dark money org stops funding the other 2 parties and concentrates on them....
But the Tories were ineffective because of massive infighting and you suspected your little nazi side project would be the same. Along comes a labour leader who asks for a deal. Fund our party, we are ruthlessly efficient...
I've been thinking about this a lot. What if, what if, you were a US dark money org who had been funding a tory gov and a fascist 3rd party to get your agenda pushed....
A concrete thing every UK person who cares about trans rights can do right now: 1. Email a link of this report to your MP, with highlights from the executive summary in your email. Ask them what it means for your constituency and their party - highlight trans people's legally mandated human rights

TW. Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...
So, for anyone saying the Newsom mania is astroturfed: whether or not that's true, it's still reaching actual non-bot people who are only too happy to reveal how shallow their investment in and understanding of trans issues has been thus far, and who will in fact take the excuse to be transphobic.

With ALT text because important queer history. Splitting the 'T' doesn't get you anything but a seat on a later train to the camps.
"Today's "LGB Gays" are not enlightened or groundbreaking free thinkers, no matter what social media says. They're clichéd bootlickers with no sense of history. They believe this split would spare them but our persecutors are just working their way backward through the LGBTQ+." - Leo Herrera, Post
It's really quite strange that Sir Queer Harmer's hard-on for the eradication of trans people is so strong that he might be willing to end up with a United Ireland to achieve it.
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Article 8 is what Goodwin v UK was brought under. They want rid of Article 8 because they want to rip up the GRA.

OMG, I'd love to find a Lada 2105 in such good condition in the UK now, Swap out the engine for a Fiat twin-cam, get it lowered and with some periond alloy wheels, fuck yeah.
Bannatyne customer? Please set your gender to non-binary Then he'll have a data conversion problem. If he tries to eliminate the option, he won't know which to set: male or female I am an LGBTi+ ally PLEASE SHARE THIS POST bsky.app/profile/seen...
There are days when I think it was a curse that I started studying fascism at an academic level when I was 17 Just twenty-two years of being a Cassandra in the coal mine

just tuned into fox news this morning
Welcome to Pride On Parade! This is a solidarity & fundraising project in support of young transgender people, initially in the UK because that's where I live :) If you'd like to get involved in any way, or if you'd just like to show off your Pride-themed minis, that'd be awesome! Outline here:
This is what had been bothering me about why Newson supporters have been spending so much time and effort trying to sway trans folk, an actual tiny minority of voters, to get behind him.
Every single benighted fool on this website who has been screaming at trans people that we need to realize this is bigger than us... listen, you weren't trying to convince us. How would that work? That was you, convincing yourself that what you'd already decided to do was justified and necessary.
The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.
I can't fault you, everytime I've visited, in whatever part I've found myself..... I kinda love the place. Hope you are having a ball.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Forthcoming statutory guidance could have a profound impact on trans people's lives. I've written to the Women and Equalities Minister to urge her to reject anything that undermines trans people's rights, inclusion, privacy or safety, and for Parliament to have proper oversight.
Using good Scottish words like outwith, I'd have placed you around 400 miles away :)
Also, this cements "biological sex" in Scottish law so when the Supreme Court ruling is overturned, there will be this biological sex in another act. Presumably the religions zealots will be attempting to do this with other legislation.
Making the distinction serves no purpose other than the expression of ideology. Transgender identity is already on the list of protected characteristics, so defining sex as biological has no effect on who is protected. Both cis women and trans are protected whether sex is "biological" or not.
It's official the Scottish Government does not consider trans women to to be women or trans men to be men.
John Schlesinger, genius director of Billy Liar, Midnight Cowboy and Marathon Man presents a film that was universally panned and lasted 1 week in theatres before being pulled. I give you Honky Tonk Freeway. The budget was $24M, world wide gross was £2M.
We intend to intervene as an Interested Party. More of us need to do this, to help our allies with real world evidence of the harms the gender critical hate movement is causing. The ideology has demonstrably radicalised into the furthest reaches of far-right aligned extremism and is not WORIADS
Just swap out the word "legitimate" with "disingenuous", solves so many problems.
Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social
Plus, if you have managed to get across the English Channel, hanging of the side of a dinghy with potentially no life jacket and 30 other people I think you deserve the George Cross as well as a 4* hotel room.
Feels like someone triggered by their own recent oopsy: "How can it be that if I turn up at Heathrow Airport as a British citizen and I’ve left my passport in Spain, I’ve got to stand at that airport and won’t be let in. But if I arrive on a boat from Calais, I get taken to a four-star hotel?”
Just like a Reform government then.
Deeply concerned that changes to trans rights could be approved without MPs or the public seeing details. This risks undermining accountability on issues affecting lives and freedoms. Proposals must face scrutiny before approval. Everyone deserves to know what’s being decided in their name.
Another important thing to understand about transsexual typology is that it doesn’t really work as etiology 🧵 Let’s talk a little about what etiology is and how the type theory fails to accomplish it from a psych perspective.
I recently bought a Henry and have a slow-building urge to cover him in band stickers, like he's a metal fan wearing a patch-covered battle jacket
What a week! And it's only Monday
‘I’m a lesbian and feminist. I’ve been harmed by men. So I wouldn’t fight for trans people if it hurt women’s rights. Yet I’m called a groomer and a misogynist’ Rebecca Don Kennedy, head of the Equality Network, on how dark it’s got for trans people in Britain www.heraldscotland.com/news/2541309...
I had been thinking the exact same, so spent way to long making a parody version.
August marks 59 years since the Compton's Cafeteria Riot took place in San Francisco's Tenderloin. On this anniversary, community members came together to recognize the riot's role in transgender and queer history. www.nbcbayarea.com/n... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
Thank you both for your replies, I was more interested though in who I might be omitting from my original post.
It's all good, don't worry 😊
Fucking awesome. With a few blasts of red spray paint you can turn the English flag into the Dead Kennedys logo As the band said: Nazi punks, fuck off!
It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

Here is the full list of whitewashing Third Way words, in an easily readable format without all the padding on the TW website. If you can't see how this is bullshit, you're blinded by the white. Now, why would anyone want to stop using words like "intersectionality" or "Systems of oppression"? 🤔
The world got a tiny bit kinder and hell got a little more fuel for the fires. Happy Friday😁 www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/21/j...
If we include both trans and intersex people it gives doctors a success rate somewhere in the region of 98%, which is really rather good, well done them. But it only highlights that there does need to be a mechanism for correcting THEIR errors.
they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights
If a candidate emerged that could beat trump but stated that he hated dentists, that they drill holes in kids faces, that all dentists, and former dentists, MUST be rounded up and dropped in the ocean, would you feel the same?
yep pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/20/s...
the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time. it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.
I like to point out that trans, gay and disabled people don't even get a mention in this poem. All these groups had been dealt with by the Nazi's before the author had even cared enough to notice, much like today.
Yes, I genuinely no sarcasm would have preferred 5 more years of incompetent, unmotivated fascists. I would have more rights today if the tories had won.
i answered this question in 2023. not my fault ppl like otto weren’t listening.
Can I ask a total Red Bull noob question at this juncture? What the hell is in it that required pasturisation?
Fuck it, I'm asking more. I'm *demanding* more. Blockers for kids who explicitly want them, HRT OTC, free hair removal, surgery on demand without psychologist referral, all covered by an amendment to the constitution of the relevant jurisdiction. That's a good place to start I think
I think this is it though, they won't admit it, even to themselves hence the hostility, but they NEED someone to sacrifice themselves for their benefit. They need a victim to rally the call to arms around after the fact. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
Cis people love to try & coach trans people into understanding the basics of the mass transphobic hysteria. Trying to make us sympathize with their fears of us getting healthcare at a critical stage in our lives. It wasn’t worth engaging with this idiot so I blocked him. We understand our oppression

When they start coming for disabled people… you should get concerned, not supportive of them. Because history shows they never end with disabled people, it’s a gateway to the rest of society. (Going after disabled people is bad enough though without anything else happening)
ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕

me: there's no difference between labour and reform. i don't care if reform win. lots of ppl: omg! labour don't want to take us out of the echr. reform does! do you know what will happen then?! me: just wait. labour:
EVERYTHING you hear in the UK about trans people is a lie. ‘Marla-Svenja’ Liebich is a neo nazi, who last year changed HIS name from Sven in protest at Germany introducing Self ID. He hates trans. But institutionally transphobic BBC explain none of this. Run it as a straight story. Absolute joke.
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
I’m afraid to say this is very attractive. Got to love a passionate nerd. He knows his shit.

i think this is why a lot of studies show that millennials are *not* moving right with age. a lot of conservatism is protecting one's personal capital and property etc. the majority of millennials don't have capital or property bcos the opportunities to obtain those thing were taken away from us.

The tories tried this for over a decade. Jeremy Hunt must be fuming, having never thought of the great idea of, checks notes...... just doing it. I hate how the Labour Party is just a more effiecient verson of the Conservatives.
But you can tell he is so proud of that joke after working on it for a week. Oh, and it's a shit joke as well.
