tbh I have yet to find a trans space where transsexual people are not a minority, which isn’t a knock on cissexual trans people - it’s not their fault, but it is frustrating

Growing increasingly frustrated with the online take that trans women dominate trans spaces; because I have yet to find a single IRL space where we are not a tiny minority

Somebody gave my fiancée (a 26 year old grown woman) a guide on how to access puberty blockers and now I’m worried people think she’s my child

wondering if the trans mission budget stretched to more than one trans woman performer or if that’s it for tonight

Anybody aware of any Trans Mission afterparties?

I don’t trust them, but I’m no more scared today than I was a week ago - this doesn’t really change anything

Reminds me of the sex marker vote last year that anybody with a pinch of political knowledge knew was going to be fine, but the community got itself stressed over - fighting a battle that didn’t exist.

Focus on the terrible things the NHS are actually doing, not what they could do in the future.

This is very similar to the Levy Review, where everybody panicked because they thought it would just be Cass 2.0.

Bad things can happen, but please don’t stay up anxious worrying about every little thing. PinkNews (and others) are hoping you do, because panic drives clicks and ad revenue.

People need to chill. The review into adult care is routine admin work that was scheduled years ago & happens for every medication.

Is some worry justified, given clear signs of political capture in the NHS? Sure. But it’s a very unlikely scenario, at this stage, and it’s far from inevitable.

Push them enough and it always comes down to just being a liberal feminist who finds trans people icky, but gets to feel holier than thou by pretending this makes them radical rather than conservative.

How are you “abolishing gender” by reinforcing the arbitrary, patriarchy-defined “biological sex” and proclaiming that the difference between men and women is insurmountable? How are trans people “reinforcing gender” by showing that the difference isn’t?

Most “TERFs” nowadays are just open conservatives who don’t even bother masking their rhetoric anymore, but some genuine ones still exist and they are insufferably stupid. If trans people are an obstacle to “abolishing gender”, why do the far right hate us?

TERFs who genuinely claim to be gender abolitionist are quite likely the stupidest fuckers on the planet

I wish people were better at differentiating between celebs who are annoying and celebs who are actually hurting people

a prompt and answer from yourAIslopboresme I asked "I'm looking for a book recommendation, something short and weird and cool and strange, but fair warning I read a lot because I run a bookstore and also talk about books professionally" and the "AI" answered: Read KIMMY by Alyson Greaves (and then below: when the LLM so ahh you lowk take over its job https://youraislopbores.me)

hell yeah I've never heard of this book and it sounds dope, thanks whatever "AI" helped me out here

A Google search of “do dominos do weddings”

and then I find out that said monster is played by a non-binary transmasc person because sure why not, might as well underline your point

saw a trailer at the cinema last night for what I can only describe as “transmisogyny: the movie”. scary, hulking monster wearing a little girl mask wants so desperately to be a mother that they kidnap and brutalise cis women. boooo get new material

I’ve seen twenty four 2026 releases so far (insane behaviour) - here is my ranking, free from intentional ragebait.

My parents begged me to just be an “effeminate gay boy” when I came out, saying it would make everybody’s life so much easier. (I didn’t even like men!)

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!

Observe this "debate" over who should decide on what clothes kids are allowed to wear. Labour say parents, Tories say the state. Both of course in total agreement that the kids themselves should have no say in it at all.

I’m in the very privileged position of having a Pharmacology degree & having the assurance of being in a relationship with a doctor, so I am able to advocate for myself more than most. But even without that, an incompetent doctor who thinks they’re competent is far more dangerous than DIY.

When my private provider’s solution to my menopausal symptoms was to increase my oral e from 2mg to 3mg, I realised nobody can be trusted with my health except for myself

support everything Jolyon does & think it’s probably a good line for a public figure to take - but as somebody who isn’t a public figure:

DIY is easy to do and perfectly safe, as long as you’re even remotely responsible. It’s often more effective than the low doses given by actual clinics.

…….so that’s not self-hating, that’s just transmisogyny
