Highly approve of called this the Rowling tax, but we are going to get the blame in the mass media, still.

I’m really enjoying all this dignity and respect.

Hey, I have that too, and was told the same thing. Regrettably, I do need glasses now for some things because having two eyes in focus at once can be useful.

Yes, your endo info is correct. Thank god for that, right? I cannot tell you how many people’s lives were saved by this difference. Still, no such thing as cross-sex hormones. Now, I’m off to continue living a life that’s so much better than arguing with a transphobe hiding behind a sock. Ciao.

Thank you for helping prove my point that pearl-clutching over "cross-sex hormones" is nonsense. From a biological point of view, there is no such thing. Cells just transcribe genes according to the dominant hormone present. Your pretense that there is any real difference is laughable.

30,000 Iranians died protesting that regime. That seems beyond compare, but Trump would exceed it. Resistance in this case requires more than those least able for it is no longer of civil limitations. He has the military.

Spot on. Been writing about that. It’s massive gaslighting.

Making it legal for AI to steal our work for training so they can put more of us out of work? Wtf is the gov’t thinking? This is evil. All while those TV licensing cockwaffles twist our arms with threats in case we ever watched live BBC on a separately-paid streaming service. Un-fucking-believable.

When the EHRC update their guidance to make it quite clear that women should not wear ties, I’d suggest the one on the left. Bows in hair may also become mandatory. But I don’t think anyone should trouble you in either.

We did the same. It was glorious!

Seriously, what? Have you not heard about trans people? Our eradication is called for daily.

Thanks! It was such an interesting day! There are a few more to go, as well, as the recommendations for local government come together. Looking forward to them!

I’m so grateful to be included in this process, not only as someone who has suffered violent SA, but also as evidence, as always, that trans women are women. You have to look no further than the misogynists and patriarchy to know how true that is.

Presenters included Jess Phillips, a Prof of Criminology, a CDI, and others. Guess which group wasn’t mentioned once as an instigator of violence? Trans women. Guess whose perspective from pre and post transition was particularly welcomed?

Happy to report that a very fulfilling, occasionally challenging, Saturday was spent as one of 9 adult women invited to participate in England and Wales’ first major community consultation to reduce violence against women and girls.

Oh, look, the transphobes are manufacturing outrage again. Imagine if they went after groups helping people learn how to safely inject their own insulin? What they don’t mention, once, is the very real danger of suicide by those who can’t access HRT to transition. So many of us have been there.

You never have to look far for the most significant factor.

They say a β€œbiological woman identifying as a man” taking T is bad, but a β€œbiological woman” who doesn’t should give it a go. It’s the same dissonance as PBs are only safe if you’re cis. Infuriating.

Doctors fear young at risk from β€˜black-market trans hormones’ Medics call for an urgent investigation into trans community groups offering support on accessing supplies for self-medication

Well, yes, trans people are getting drugs; yes, from entirely unregulated sources; yes, without counselling; yes, without blood tests; yes, they are self-administering; yes, without clinical oversight; yes, risking long term harm; yes, it is highly suboptimal.

What did you think would happen?

Trust me, taking testosterone as a woman is about more than sex
Most doctors only prescribe the hormone for low libido yet menopause campaigners say it has many other benefits too. So why is no one researching these claims?
Growing numbers of women like Rebecca Seal are taking a daily dose

When I was 42, a menopause doctor told me that my testosterone levels were low enough to warrant trying treatment, I was sceptical. I had spent five years chasing a diagnosis for what I thought was

That article is jammed with the pearl-clutching β€œdangers of cross-sex hormones.”

Meanwhile, over at The Sunday Times taking testosterone as a β€œbiological woman” is fineβ€”it’s not only good for your libido, but also your mental health and bone density, too!

Yes, we know.

Insulting both left and right while claiming only they can unite the country is madness. He’s eyeballs deep in Koolaid.

Grew up watching a Trans woman win Big Brother, hearing music with lyrics that celebrated Trans people, seeing folk flourish as themselves. Now we’re going backwards

Hearing from my @womensinstitute.bsky.social connection that members of 50+ years are quitting in disgust at the reason they are being asked to confirm they are female on a form they never had to sign before. NFWI doesn’t care. These fantastic ladies are now just collateral damage to them. #TERFs
