The Dyke Project
@theDykeProject
A trans, cis and non-binary feminist dyke collective
- Today, we dropped a 30ft banner to say fuck the Cass Review. Trans youth know what they want and need. Itโs not being pathologized or patronised. It's accessing the support they deserve, whether safe housing, education or puberty blockers.
- Happy lesbian visibility week! Weโre a group of trans, cis and nonbinary dykes and queers that formed to show our community as it really is - united and trans-inclusive โค๏ธโ๐ฅ #LesbianVisibilityWeek
- 100+ queer activists are partying outside inaugural event of โthe lesbian projectโ, a Julie Bindel + Kathleen Stock initiative claiming to protect lesbians from erasure by separating from trans people. Hope they hear this: us dykes, we're thriving, undivided! #onecommunity
- Replying to @theDykeProjectPoliticians will continue to create moral panics to divide us and distract us from their own failings. Instead of focusing on a lack of funding, long waiting lists and overstretched staff, the Cass Review ultimately calling to restrict trans healthcare. Enough is enough.
- Replying to @theDykeProjectJust as our community did during the AIDS crisis, we will continue to demand access to the healthcare we need. We will work together to build grassroots care, community and support. We will fight for gender affirming healthcare which ensures trans and non-binary kids live.
- Replying to @theDykeProjectTrans youth donโt need to be studied, managed or saved. They need the same opportunities and quality of care that their cis friends and family receive.
- ๐ฃThe Dyke Project is throwing a party๐๐พWe're a collection of trans, cis, non-binary lesbians & queers of all persuasions. Some want to sow hate and divide us by saying lesbians are being erased & need protecting -- so not true! We're thriving and strongest when together.
- Replying to @theDykeProjectWeโve targeted bus stops near queer venues across the capital, and on TfL tube and rail networks, to show that the queer community stands with Palestine. None of us are free until all of us are free ๐ฅ
- Replying to @theDykeProjectThe stories shared come from the project @queeringthemap_, which has featured the testimonies of queer Gazans who have been subject to intensified Israeli bombardment over recent weeks.
- Replying to @theDykeProjectIsrael frequently uses โpinkwashingโ and a โprogressiveโ image for LGBTQ+ rights, to distract from and legitimise its terror and violence in Gaza. Queer people say NOT IN OUR NAME โ free Palestine โ๐พ๐ต๐ธโค๏ธโ๐ฅ
- Replying to @theDykeProjectWe are also calling for an end to British funding of Israelโs military. The British state is complicit in the genocide of Palestinians, and we DO NOT consent ๐ซ
- This is why as queers, as dykes, we say NOT IN OUR NAMES! No pride in pinkwashing! No pride in genocide! Queer liberation means free Palestine, now and forever ๐ต๐ธ๐ต๐ธ๐ต๐ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธThe first ever pride flag raised in Gaza ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Yoav Atzmoni who is a member of the LGBTQ+ community wanted to send a message of hope to the people of Gaza living under Hamas brutality. His intention was to raise the first pride flag in Gaza as a call for peace and freedom. ๐ธ
- Replying to @theDykeProjectShout out to dykes running the meetings & the protests, dykes running the parties & the club nights, dykes organising their workplaces, fighting for healthcare & bodily autonomy, dykes keeping our history alive & fighting for a better future ๐ #LesbianVisibilityWeek
