Cal Horton (they/them)@fiercemum.bsky.social

The full weight of the UK establishment - NHS, the Times, Baronesses of the House of Lords, all misrepresenting an actual full blown scandal of acute child harm. My research (with @sandraduffy.bsky.social) captures the real situation, centring patient voice journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

There's a constant low-level discussion on English-language bluesky about the electoral consequences of transphobic rhetoric from left-liberals but I think it's honestly worse than "they might not vote for you", it's more like, you're cutting yourself off from political labor and talent.

Trans women who spent entire childhood trying to avoid school PE and anything involving changing rooms discovered to have no aptitude for sport..

Just went out to unplug the car and move it away from a tree and it's bloody scary out there in the windy. Stay safe 💜

Breaking. Data request from the CPS has confirmed the Met Police didn't supply the CPS with further information supplied by the witness about Graham Linehan that would have shown crucial context and mens rea to his tweet INCITING others to assault transgender people. This changes things massively.

It's bizarre that this is allowed, horrifying when you consider the intended consequences 😧

So Texas has hit one of the most dangerous pieces of campaigning i've ever seen. seemingly pro-trans leaflets mailed to children's across the state. Full of scary trans talking points while pretending to be a support guide for a kid who is considering transition This is an trigger for child abuse

Just 27 jobs created at the cost of ever more damage to the climate and our children's futures. It won't reduce bills and all the profits will go to London 🤬

Scottish Greens@scottishgreens.org

🚨 BREAKING: The UK Labour Government have approved the Jackdaw gas field. This a devastating betrayal of future generations. Jackdaw will make the UK even more dependent on the global gas market. This will do nothing to lower household energy bills and it is dishonest to pretend that it will.

More good news from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, where Indigenous experts are working and fundraising to create "a safe haven for gender-affirming health care, including for Two-Spirit, transgender and gender-diverse people affected by restrictive Alberta laws".

Well done New Zealand! Now we just need the UK to look at the same evidence ... 😐

Natacha@natacha.bsky.social

I needed to keep quiet about this but this is what I was working on earlier this year. My publication “Harming Children: The Effects of the UK puberty-blocker ban” was evidence used for this! I had to submit a lengthy affidavit via NZ local trans group PATHA. Let’s hope we can overturn more now.

Y’all. These are adults whose surgeries were stopped because of other people. This is extremely dangerous.

NEW: FOI requests reveal NHS Wales used unverified 'family concerns' to stop trans surgeries

Absolute classic trans person's handbrake turn of a timeline there. Scared for what's going to happen to us though

Messed up the potatoes for Sunday lunch lads, same timings as always but overcooked and on the way to mash 😭

About to ride out into hostile lands, a fearless gender outlaw on a warrior's journey 💪 * going to visit my daughter down south

Look after yourselves 💜

QueerAF understands several government departments are set to release similar guidance, and there seems to have been coordinated activity to release them at the same time.

The establishment is really trying to be the death of us isn't it? Live your life like every day counts 💜

Bear in mind it is perfectly legal to buy and sell Mein Kampf in the UK.

Sally Rooney: To publish my work in the UK could now constitute a serious criminal offence. After a process of consultation and deliberation, and with my full agreement, my publisher Faber has therefore determined that it can no longer supply my work within the UK. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

From last night. Much love to the folks protesting 💜 JK Rowling's money kills

🎞️ "BOYCOTT JK ROWLING!" Video of the pop-up trans rights protest at Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" gala tonight, debuting its shortened version in London's West End; peaceful protesters are seen violently dragged away.

Celebs who attended the 'premier' were presenter Vanessa Feltz, Good Morning Britain host Richard Arnold, The Chase star Anne Hegerty and TV host Angellica Bell

The hateful NHS policy hasn't made it to Scotland yet afaik but it seems inevitable. When it does I'm screwed ☹️ Over a decade of burying the spicy stuff under routine things undone

Lisa Severn@lisasevern.uk

Got home to a letter from the Sandyford who've repeated my whole bloody medical transition to my GP. So there goes my pseudo stealth I'd acquired moving NHS England to Scotland and doubtless in comes trans broken arm syndrome. Sigh

I'm chatting to a friend who's due into hospital soon for routine surgery and is really upset at what's looking likely to be a horrendous experience. Trying to work out how to keep her safe

CN Lester 🏳️‍⚧️@cnlester.bsky.social

Striking how ideologically-captured the BBC has become when looking at its reporting on trans hospital changes, and just how much heavy lifting 'biological sex' is doing. Explaining that a woman with a vulva, breasts, and typically female hormone profile should be put on a men's ward? Difficult...

bsky.app/profile/reac... Ashley actually raised a really good point in response to this that kinda destroys the whole single sex argument. IF 5000 breaches a MONTH are not enough to cause a discrimination claim- why would a few trans people on the same exception.

Also, not just omission. The fact that there has been a continuous breach and no real human rights or discrimination claims by cis folks were entertained supports the case that trans people should not be segregated.

Anyone like to place bets on how many trans people will appear in the JKR documentary in the part discussing transphobia? I can't decide if it'll be none, or a couple of the half dozen rent-a-quislings

This is a superb idea, but don't go alone

TERFs are organising an explicitly transphobic ‘gender critical’ “Reclaim the Night” event in Nottingham! 🤮 Don’t protest it (otherwise they’ll claim you’re “anti women” 🙄😖) Instead - take it over with loads of inclusive signs, chants, people - and reclaim the night for ALL ✊🏻💕
