Normally I'm leery of using dark magic as it invites all manner of negative energy, but in service of protecting trans people, I can withhold my objections
Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly.
Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now.
Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate?
Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?
Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality?
is that allowed?
Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.
The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

They ate the propaganda they were fed just because it was "common sense."
I post this in wake of recent Supreme Court decision, where 3 Democratic judges were silenced to prevent a trans advocate from saying anything. And I was unpleasantly surprised at amount of people who bought it.
Now, thank you for reading all of that. I hope that you are a trans ally, or a trans person yourself, who would use all of those evidences to spread awareness about it. Or if you are this one local liberal I mentioned earlier, I hope you learned something.

All of those people have or had unfair biological advantages. And under unfair, I mean actually unfair.
Show this to your local liberal who praises "common sense" and links far-right website SheWon (to which anyone can upload any delirium) as an evidence.

His resting pulse was as low as 28 BPM, compared to an average 60–72 bpm, which meant his heart would be less strained in the tough mountain stages.
His VO2 max was 88 ml/kg/min; in comparison, Lance Armstrong's was 83.8 ml/kg/min and Greg LeMond's was more than 92 ml/kg/min.
End of quote.
He is praised for being 5 times in a row winner of Tour de France. He was never disqualified, even though he had an unfair biological advantage once again.

Miguel Indurain, a cyclist. I'll just cite Wikipedia.
Start of quote.
His blood carried 7 litres of oxygen around his body per minute, compared to 3–4 litres for an ordinary person and 5–6 litres for fellow riders.
His cardiac output was 50 litres a minute; a fit amateur cyclist's is about 25 litres. Induráin's lung capacity was 7.8 litres, compared to an average of 6 litres.

Eero Mäntyranta - Finnish cross-country skier. Had a DNA mutation which, in short, increased amount of oxygen that was flowing in his blood. After his mutation was found in 1993, was not just not disqualified, but praised as a hero of his country in 2000.
Michael Phelps, a competition swimmer - his body naturally produces less lactic acid. He also has anomalously short legs, double-jointed ankles and elbows, and his wingspan is larger than his height. Praised as the greatest swimmer who has ever lived, despite his unfair biological advantage.

To break people's careers and stigmatize them, you need something better than "common sense" (according to which Earth is flat, and they tortured Galileo for breaking their delusion), scientific evidences, especially if theory is basically "some women should be excluded because they are not women."
To continue with an irrelevant argument you can also use (but it's useless, as much more concrete one exists), there are a lot of people with much more unfair biological advantages who are cis. Let me put a list for you.

All studies before were researching theoretical advantages of average trans women and average cis women. Even they didn't find significant advantages - 0.5% of women have 15% better muscle grip! What a horror. I'm pretty sure there are more cis women with even larger advantages.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. The first study that has researched practical advantages concluded absence of those by current evidences. Burden of proving a theory lies on the one who proposed it. And so far evidences show contrary to it.

This is exactly why we have Pride.
Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows.
We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win.

Labour exists to protect the status quo.
They want clear signals that Burnham won't bring in wealth taxes, water nationalisation or stop the UK arming Israel.
We need to keep building our movement and provide hope with a plan for a different politics.

Turing was an example of a brilliant mind who helped build an entire scientific and mathematical field - and a warning about how our institutions can abuse and fail the queer community, despite all the progress made in the ensuing decades since Turings death.
