Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

People are like "be careful of that trans woman, she was socialised male so she's dangerous" and then you look at her and see the most timid creature in the world who has never heard "I love you" from someone who didn't hurt her

Trans women experienced misogyny as girls, even before they or anyone else labeled them as such. Aberrant and effeminate behavior in "boys" is punished by rape, ostracization, beating by parents and peers long before wny of us have the words for why were different.

I am actually genuinely fuming about the cyber guy not knowing what PHP is. I've been fighting for fucking years to be taken seriously as a woman in tech & still regularly get talked down to & some bloke can just turn up on TV as an *expert*, without the first fucking clue.

For three years, Britain's political class made clear that genocide was not a red line. Now they're making clear that opposition to genocide is a red line.

If they will do this to a trans woman with the most urgent, life threatening but treatable cancer, how can any trans person trust it won't happen to us for something less urgent? Theres a lot of delusional optimism that they'll "find a solution". But they didn't for Joelle and now she's dead.

We’re looked at by cis ‘allies’ as being incredulous when we talk about our first hand experiences with the NHS. Because the NHS has been imprinted as some kind of ‘sacred cow’ on the British psyche. I doubt the impact these ‘separate but equal’ guidelines will have upon us will make them listen.

This is the same Supreme Court that is so proud of how it “protects women and girls” from the likes of me. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

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.

I wrote for @thenation.com about why people need to stop acting as though the dramatically escalating bigotry on display in US politics is just an unserious sideshow.

same (can't reply): pretty much all body hair disappeared. it's genetic i'm sure: My mother was also pretty much hairless from the neck down, and her mother too (mum said, I never saw such things). otoh my sister, not so much. got that from my dad's side, along with the body of a goddess.

Rather than offer the rhetoric of reset to fix the Government’s broken relationship with the UK’s LGBTQ+ community, Labour have taken a shock-and-awe approach to a slew of contradictory announcements and restrictions on living freely as a trans person, writes Steph Paton ✍️

To get my messages across, I first have to be very beautiful. If I’m not very beautiful, you won’t even pay attention to what I post. You won’t even notice me. Your eyes have been trained to look for what’s extremely beautiful, what’s Instagrammable. That’s what the modern system has taught you.

Hey remember that time you banned me over “wishing ill” to JK Rowling?

a 27 year old trans woman died after being refused entry to either the male or female cancer wards & made to wait for a (rare) side room www.translegalclinic.com/justice-for-...

She was murdered by transphobia 😥😥😥

When @heatherherbert.uk had Sepsis she was effectively placed in a stationary cuboard. A staff member told us they didn"t want to upset males in the ward next door. I replied "it's because of transphobia ", she said that she could'nt comment and awkwardly left us.

Thanks to Helen Belcher for this prompt. This is my email to Burnham. 👇 It appears Labour currently wants a form of healthcare apartheid for trans people, and/or our total exclusion from the NHS...

Looking forward to seeing lots of people holding up placards saying "God help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action" at the next anti-genocide demo, because the statement doesn't meet the criminal threshold and so the people holding them won't be arrested, right?

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Labour aren’t going to fix this trans segregation, something they’re actively responsible for, and nobody should kid themselves that they’re going to improve any time in the future. The Labour Party is dead for anyone with anything vaguely resembling morals.

labour mp clarifies: yes, trans people must be banned from hospitals

Even before the NHS transphobia went out Andy Burnham had become the most transphobic Prime Minister in the UK’s history. Now he is troweling on the transphobia layer by layer. Burnham is just a bully and a bigot. About as progressive as Suella Braverman.

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

In Bush era gestures at green tech, we briefly got excited about biodiesel. But in the US that meant corn, and experts got upset because corn biodiesel is negative EROI. I saw one person describe it as "a corn disposal method". In that sense, I posit Bitcoin and AI to be "compute disposal methods".
