    Trans woman comes 6,000th in a race, is bullied into handing back her participation medal for being trans, because "it's not not fair" to anyone who ran slower than her. She's being bullied into giving back her medal, because of people who were behind 6,000th place.

    So, I want to be clear who JK Rowling was having lunch with yesterday, while LGBT rights groups protested for trams rights mere miles away. Get The L Out are an anti trans hate group who hijacked London Pride to hand out trans women are rapists leaflets under police protection.

    "This medication is illegal to provide to a transgender person, but legal to provide to a person who is not transgender" If this ban was about lack of safety of the drugs, they would be banned for all children. This is targetted discrimination based on trans status.

    This is why we call it a fucking Deadname. It's the name that media outlets will dig up and trot out to refer to us when we're dead, as an act of disrespect. This girl was mudered. To reframe that as "A trans person was murdered, by the way, here's the deadname" is BS.

    We are appalled to note that @thetimes have now updated their article on the killing of Brianna Ghey to remove all references to her being a girl and to add her deadname. Previous version: archive.is/8nG50 Current version: archive.is/PZRQO

    Look, I get a bunch of my peers are gonna play the wizard game, but if you could stop acting like doing so is some act of martyrdom, or like you're the only person every to have really, really, really liked the series as a child, that'd be great.

    Now it's past 9am I can actually talk about and share info about my train wedding on social media. So yeah, yesterday me and Jane had an all expenses paid wedding on a train. I'm autistic, and have a special interest in trains, so this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

    The BBC refused to correct a hugely misleading article that portrayed the trans community as sexual predators against cis lesbians, but they will when pressed change "people assigned female at birth" to "women", making an article about endometriosis less accurate in the process.

    Today, you might see a lot of anxious and distressed UK trans people on your timeline. Let’s talk about why. In short, NHS waiting times for trans healthcare can be as high as four years. This pushes many to private. Terfs just effectively shut down a major private provider.

    As a trans person, I fully support detransitioners, good on them for working out something isn’t right for them and moving forward in their self exploration. What I don’t support is any detransitioner who weaponises their detransition to prevent others right to be trans.

    If you want your stories created by actual humans, and writers to not have their job replaced by AI, be vocal about this now. This is what the WGA and SAG-Aftra have been fighting in the movie industry, and its going to come for video games too.

    For those of you who claim Rowling is "just fighting for women's rights", read this tweet. People are telling her that her stance of trans people lost her their respect. She frames it as about her dislike of "violent, duplicitous rapists"

    Deeply amused by those telling me I’ve lost their admiration due to the disrespect I show violent, duplicitous rapists. I shall file your lost admiration carefully in the box where I keep my missing fucks.
