I don’t know what Joanne and her mates are doing in the ladies’ loos, but in 50 years I’ve only ever seen anyone queue, go into a cubicle fully clothed, come out of a cubicle fully clothed, wash their hands, touch up their makeup.

No-one’s getting naked in there! Stop making up problems when there are real ones in the world.

J.K. Rowling sagt, jeden Euro den sie an Harry Potter verdient, wird sie dazu einsetzen, Transitionen zu verunmöglichen und trans Personen zurück in den Schrank zu drängen, aus dem einst Harry Potter gekrochen ist.

Dies sagt eine Frau, die, wie sie selbst zugegeben hat, gerne selbst ein Mann wäre. Sie hasst uns, weil wir das sind, was sie nicht geschafft hat und niemals schaffen wird, nämlich frei.

WICHTIG:

www.christin-loehner.deIst J.K. Rowling transfeindlich und eine TERF? Lasst sie für sich selbst antworten.Eine erschreckende - wenn auch definitiv nicht vollständige - Chronik von J.K. Rowlings Transfeindlichkeit. J.K. Rowlings Unterstützer behaupten häufig, die Autorin habe nie tatsächlich etwas Transfeindliches gesagt oder getan. Diese Position findet man in den sozialen Medien, auf den Seiten der New York Times und sogar in einem Podcast von 2023 mit Rowling selbst. Es ist allerdings eine leicht zu widerlegende Lüge. Auch wenn die Bezeichnung "transfeindlich" eine schwerwiegende Anschuldigung ist, die wir nicht leichtfertig verwenden, ist es wichtig, Rowlings Diskriminierung als das zu erkennen, was sie ist. Die folgende Übersicht zeigt ihre zunehmende Umarmung transfeindlicher, ja sogar extremistischer Rhetorik. [Mehr lesen...]

@thecommongreen Shame that Referendum hasn’t been held in Scotland already to ensure the protection of their Devolved governance, before more parts are removed. I am aware that a couple of powers Scotland thought they had have already been withdrawn/overruled - particularly the vote on #TransRights and #Equality.
Or can such referendum results be overruled by Westminster?

Anger repressed is depression.
If you are depressed, get angry.
If you are angry, act. You'll feel better for it.
Your actions don't need to be some major thing - for goodness sake, don't start a 'look at MEeee' org (or likely any org).
Do simple things - help that trans family pack, drive somebody north, buy a hotdog stand and take it to fairs, employing trans folks. Fix up the crappy trailer and let folks moving thru stay in it.

A message for cis women who fall for the line that their trans sistas, who you have shared bathrooms with forever, are suddenly a danger

You have put all women at risk. More cis women are now being challenged and assaulted by vigilante transphobes than trans women. If any woman is a little tall, a little hairy, has a slightly larger jawline, a slightly deep voice, or slightly masculine features, they are now at risk

You are not a feminist. You are the danger to women

A bit of good news in my inbox just now from the wonderful Good Law Project and a first step in the fightback against the assault on trans lives

Please consider a donation for this cause. Just for me 😘🥰 (and every other trans person facing attempts to erase us by this rotten, transphobic, travesty of a Labour government)

"Enfin, ma demande concerne ma petite amie, qui se rend à Paris à la fin du mois pour y subir une chirurgie d'affirmation de genre. Elle cherche un logement et, comme on pouvait s'y attendre, c'est assez cher. Je me demandais donc s'il y avait une chance que quelqu'un de respectueux de la réduction des risques Covid et queer friendly dispose d'une chambre libre à Paris où elle pourrait séjourner et se rétablir pendant une douzaine de jours dans un mois environ."

The #DUP throwing a hissy fit and storming out because the majority in South Down voted to have dual language signage in the area. No one is forcing them to read Irish [though they do so comfortably, every single day in all those anglicised names]. Six years the DUP have been opposing this.
Of course their other big gripe is that they were unable to force a trans ban on toilet use in South Down. The #DUP never change - bigoted, exclusive in the worst interpretation of the word, intransigent always. #NIPol #TransRights #Autonomy #UI #Think32
