it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

Kenya transgender rights victory hailed as African first QNews LGBTIQA+ News

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

fuck yeah

Very well written summary of the history of the situation in the UK.
Trans people you don't need to read it, but it might come in very handy if you need to explain things to family or friends out there in cis world.
I've sent it to my MP and MSP as part of an ongoing project to try & enlighten them

The Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide has gone a step further than its previous Red Flag alert, by releasing a statement calling for the rescinding of the EHRC's accreditation for violating the Paris Principles.

It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

SO MUCH transphobia is sexual harassment.

Absolutely fucking constant public speculation and comment about our genital anatomy, ability to achieve orgasm, sexual proclivities, reproductive potential… it’s all sexual harassment.

We’re hearing that EHRC’s updated Code is now with the Minister for Equalities.

Now, more than ever, it’s critical to write to your MP to get them to pressure her for a debate & vote in Parliament, not for this Code to become statutory automatically.

Please do write; template letter linked below πŸ™

you can really see the misogyny operating as a key lever of transphobia when you realize that both trans women and trans men are considered by transphobes to be women (lying) and women (deluded), respectively

The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.

Gonna need cis folk to be extremely vocal and actually take action on this. Things are escalating month by month and it's only going to get harder and harder to rebuild these rights.

Act now to protect trans people, do not wait

i absolutely do not agree with recording strangers in public and allowing the internet to doxx them and ruin their lives. that being said, i do find the CEO/HR lady cheating drama very funny, because i am a bad person. two things can be true

Labour conference attendees must declare sex listed on their passport The 2025 Labour Party conference will reportedly require passport gender checks for entry, an application form suggests.

This is performative cruelty at its most stupid.
1 - Lots of trans people have their lived gender identity on their passport
2 - Why? What's the point? What about attending a political conference relies on your birth genitals?

Joanne poured 70k into the Supreme Court Case which stripped trans people of basic rights then gloated about it. She is now working on doing even more damage. She has also started attacking ND people and ace folk.

Anyone involved with this project deserves to be shamed for their 'neutrality'.

If the Tories were treating trans people the way Labour is currently doing (and to be clear, Labour are treating trans people worse than the Tories ever did) the people STILL standing up for Labour would be up in arms.

I feel genuine disgust and rage that Kier Starmer's team has created a propaganda video saying people are freer to be who they are because of him. How fucking dare they. This is like some 1984 bs
