im out here fighting for my life every day teaching scrivner new words and how to spell them
I just don't think I should held accountable for the things I write, otherwise I wouldn't write them, and if you read this you might understand why
Wrote something about piss (the piss is a metaphor but also, in many ways it is literally about piss)
Pissing My Life Away

And I'm having an *extremely normal time* so far, as evidence by this thing I wrote
My weekend at Ty Newydd – or – Getting Drop Kicked Out of my Comfort Zone

This news is positively vintage at this point, but I'm on this

I'm out here every day fighting for my life and teaching a word processor how to spell
I love @scrivenerapp.bsky.social and all, but damn if that girl doesn't know how to spell fewer words than this dyslexic bitch
The courts can rule sex is binary, that I'm not a woman, all they fucking like.
But the checkout staff today in Aldi gendered me as a woman
Because gender is a fucking construct! We know this!
You can't legislate subjective experience and I will scrap anyone who tries to force otherwise
But we can't let ourselves be forced out of public life in the mean time.
They want us to just fade away into the background where they don't have to consider how our existence challenges their pre-received notion of gender and patriarchy.
Don't let that happen.
end/🧵
I know there's more serious implications with domestic abuse shelters, hospital wards, prisons etc. That shit really scares me, and my I can't even fathom the horrors my trans siblings are going to endure in that context because of this ruling
Obviously we gotta fight this to the bitter end 7/🧵
If you reglarly use single sex spaces and find yourself now excluded, start demanding they give you a third space to use.
Become a problem
It's an accessibility issue. We have wheelchair ramps, hearing aid loop systems, braille etc. They gotta give you a place to get changed or piss or whatev 6/🧵
Going swimming with the girlies and non-binary pals? Let's all get changed in the third space locker room together and chat radical politics away from evesdropping Karens with their cunts out.
Out for drinks? Let's go have a bitch in the third space bathroom and maybe kiss. 5/🧵
Barones Falker is basiclly saying "You're free to access spaces and services that don't exist."
The thing is, I would actually welcome a third space. I would feel safer in a third space, and I would welcome any cis allies into that third space too. 4/🧵
And this is the fucking problem, right. We're not allowed in single sex spaces, and they aren't going to provide a third space for us. They don't care that this ruling threatens to erase us from public life. They want us forced even further to the margins, where we can't even take a piss 3/🧵
Sure, I'll happily use the gender neutral changing room when I go swimming. Except, there isn't one? I actually called and asked about this a year ago before I started swimming regularly, because I was worried about getting clocked in the women's changing room. They seemed baffled. 2/🧵
Baroness Falkner, equality and human rights commission chair, rightfully pointed out that there isn't any law stating that trans people can't access a neutral third space when it comes to public bathrooms, changing rooms, etc. 1/🧵
Can't wait to hear this
I am low key obsessed with the Zizians. @iwriteok.bsky.social did a really detailed breakdown recently for Behind the Bastards, and it was equal parts heart breaking and bonkers
I am irony poisoned.
I got unwomaned today, and just brushed it off. No biggie, another item on the long list of stuff I can't bring myself to worry about.
It's too big. No way I can function and feel at the same time, and I must above all else function.
But maybe I don't, not always.
Trans communities are devastated by today’s ruling. Instead of bringing clarity, the Supreme Court has made a ruling which appears to contain a number of contradictions. The intent seems clear: to exclude trans people from society.

Getting unwomaned by the government today doesn't feel good, but it does remind of some wise words from @citizenio.bsky.social
"Be gay, do crime."
10% option 1 and 90% option 3.
Had this nagging suspicion all was not right in the land of Gender. I was slowly being consumed by this sense of wrongness for like 30 years, then basically decided overnight to transition and life has been pretty great ever since
Sounds like The Numbers are having a bad one today, everyone real upset about which way The Line is moving.
I hear it's supposed to go up, but today? It's going down. Crazy
Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I will not apologise for my love of 2010s era memes. I am an old hag, let me enjoy Me Gusta in peace
Today's mood

Just realised I'm posting this on Trans Day of Visibility... so y'know... it's kinda transphobic if you don't give it a read actually
