To be frank, if the adult review goes the way of the youth review, my partner and I will likely need to move out of the UK. It is that dire. People will die, flee or become more dependent on risky routes for hormones.
Apparently at least 25 WIs have now closed as a result of threats by “gender critical feminists”.
GCs do not represent (cis)women.
hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
Probably not, but I hadn’t seen anyone post a link to it at the time and wanted to share. I’ve lost count of the number of consultations on trans healthcare I’ve filled out in the last decade and none of them have made our lives better at all.
“Use white noise to distract and cover tinnitus”
Actually my brain seems to take offence that I am ignoring the horrible ringing and will make it louder, starting a race to the bottom where I want to stick needles in my ears.
A form with the question "Does the sex you were assigned at birth reflect your current gender identity" and the answers Yes, if not please specify (which I have checked and written in "it doesn't") and prefer not to say.

Today is Mario Day (Mar10) so let us all take a moment to remember both Mario and his brother Luigi. They deserved better than this...
1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)
My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):
So much institutional/societal 'accessibility' is performative and requires the disabled person to do *more*, and I'm so sick of it. People/places quite happy to tick a little box to say they're inclusive or accessible while clutching their pearls and looking outraged if they need to do something.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
Cis people have exclusive control over trans healthcare.
Nothing about us without us.
It's been opened to all immunocompromised people over 18 (I had it last year) so might be worth checking with your GP
NHS England review and consultation into HRT for trans children is up www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation...
He messages me every two days and I am not acknowledging out of spite. I want to see how long it goes on, even if it ends up being automated or something.
Yes! I’ll will do that sometime this week! Powerpoint and keynote should open ODPs but I never actually checked for folks that don’t have those 😅
If you’re going to use AI to generate alt text in documents please a) check it’s actually describing the image and b) don’t leave in the bit that says it‘s AI generated
Or like, write it yourself. It’s your image, you know what it’s trying to convey.

I also want to note that trans people aren't the only community facing this treatment - deaths of black mothers in pregnancy, widespread mistreatment of neurodivergent people and people with chronic illness and many other issues result from a similar combo of political neglect and malice.
If I have closeted trans people following me (and I know I do) please do not let this line of thinking stop you from transitioning and living as yourself. Your life does not end if you don't transition at 18, or 20, or 30, or 50. I promise.
This rhetoric is for policy, not for individuals.
I’ve moved this to Netlify (didn’t realise Static free “tier” was actually a trial) tubular-pixie-2d07a7.netlify.app
Yes sorry, have moved it to Netlify, will remake the post when I get time tubular-pixie-2d07a7.netlify.app
Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads: "Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."
happy international women's day
Guitarist from my fave teenage band
In retrospect being probably the only AFAB Chad is not great opsec but I’m not doing all that paperwork again
Carmen Sandiego from the 90s cartoon
Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman
It’s about desk space efficiency and hating yourself
ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people
all we can do is hope
