In a competitive field where it is hard to stand out, to truly shine for national transphobia, the UK and NHS are absolutely knocking it out of the park. They looked and looked and only found 1 study on puberty blockers + oestrogen
Others try and transphobe but we are world class transphobes
Awesome!! 🏳️🌈
This is great! I hope we can talk about this sometime - I'm still thinking about transantagonistic architecture.
I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.
I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."
Ominous...
And after you finish marking, we can talk!
The extremism of organised transphobia and their unwavering belief in the necessity to exclude, dehumanise and make diappear a marginalised community should ring alarm bells to anyone who knows even a little about 19th and 20th century history...

'Terms like “detransitioner,” like “transitioner,” reduce people to the act of transitioning and frame transitioning as an extremist act or impulsive decision'

I like how every six months or so we get a big "This Obscure Fasicst Thinker Is Key To Understanding The Modern Right" and without fail every one of those is the biggest loser you've ever heard of writing the stupidest articles you've ever read for Racism Monthly
Thanks; I will check this out!
Focusing on extreme events such as the reports of Farage’s teenage past can exceptionalise the nature of far-right politics and make it harder to call out

“The issue is men. So maybe we need a man only carriage where we put them all in the back of the train and they can just stay there and harass each other": @patsystevenson.bsky.social on the money, as always.
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
a world without trans people has never existed and never will
When I'm asked what kind of friend groups I have:
The Times Higher Education giving a platform to reactionary voices to complain about there being too much "terminology relating to EDI" or "progressive discourse" in research projects at a time when fascism is at the door...
What is there left to say?

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
No words.
If you support trans people but not Palestinians, you’ve misunderstood the fight. Queer & Palestinian liberation are both about tearing down the same colonial systems that criminalize existence, surveil bodies, and justify genocide of both in the name of order. These are not separate struggles.
Lancaster University can't slash its workforce and still provide the same level of provision to students
