As a Trans Bi woman and co-leader of the Bi+ Community, Perth... I have seen this happen.

For the most part I have found that those of us who were Bi, generally remain that way, though, anecdotally a few of us have noted that what we find appealing/attractive changes with hormone balance.

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

The legal mechanism that enables a genocide in the US is now in place.

It is not lost on me that a failed colonial power (the UK) is exporting hatred and othering of minorities, while the US is doing the same as it joins the UK as another failed empire.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention โ€œbelieves that the U.S. is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. & globallyโ€

Handy tip for cis folk, we aren't an idea, like freedom or liberty, we are actual flesh and blood people. So if you're going to write a thread about us, make sure you get a trans friend to read it first, and if you don't have a trans friend, ask yourself why the fuck not and stop writing about us

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

Is that a yes?

If your GP stops or refuses care - Anne Healthcare Your rights if your NHS GP stops your gender-affirming care

@annehealthcare.bsky.social have produced a very useful guide about what to do if your GP stops your hormones prescription or refuses care. Remember you have rights and options, and they have legal, ethical and professional obligations.

This is as blatant a failure as you could get. Fishing for support of an already determined conclusion, rather than drawing a conclusion from the totality of available valid data.

Their starting position is a conclusion that rejects trans validity..

They then look for "evidence" that supports their starting position.

And to do it they have to use tortured datasets that would be dismissed in other contexts because they are invalid in any context.

I think we identify elements of ourselves in others, even if they are not understood in ourselves. They intrigue us, capture something in us and as we see people learning and gaining their truth, explore and accept their inner world, we embrace our own.

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos

The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.

Many of them have no emotional connection to the person they have engaged in sex with, it is to many of them, simply an exchange.

And because many don't consider it to be an emotionally connected relationship, they see it entirely as a transaction and not a relationship.

Those men. Are very cold.

This is an intersection that I brought up at a Bi+ health care framework project I sit on....

The cohort of Men who have Sex with other Men... MSM. A significant risk factor because they purposefully do not identify as LGBTQIA+ and never really consider/make use of any protective program.

I "love" how incredibly calmly those involved actively discuss instigating social harm on an entire demographic for their personal healthcare decision.

They demonstrate that what they laughingly refer to as "a society" hasn't actually progressed in any meaningful way at all in at least a century.

"...these arguments have become implausibly detached from the legal & factual context in which [I/Goodwin] were decided. They fail to take seriously the increasingly serious incursions on the privacy rights of trans people that are likely to occur if the trans-exclusionary interpretation prevails"

Great Britain has only two days of gas stored, while Iran war threatens to disrupt supplies National Gas insists storage broadly in line with levels for time of year despite disruption for tankers carrying LNG

UK has only two days of gas stored, Iran war threatens supplies.

Maximum capacity is 12 days.

Mainland Europe has reserves of several weeksโ€™ worth of gas.

UK storage capacity shrank after privatisation.

The Rough storage facility closed in in 2017. British Gas wanted subsidies.

A dimly lit living room scene with blue lighting. A woman with long blonde hair stands in the foreground, turned slightly toward the camera. She has several tattoos on her arm and is wearing a black patterned crop top and matching pants.

Behind her, a television shows a broadcast of Donald Trump speaking at a podium during what appears to be a political event or debate.

Overlay text on the image reads:
โ€œWhy donโ€™t women come forward about their abusers? They did. And he became the president. Twice.โ€

The image uses dramatic lighting and juxtaposes the woman standing in the room with the televised image of the politician, presenting a critical political message about allegations of abuse and public responses to them.

Men aren't solving this problem, and some refuse to. Because of that refusal society is distorted in a way that places abusive men into roles that enable abuse.

What we as victims can rely on the male supporters of abusers to do, is to deny accountability for the abuser and laugh react at victims.

However it is a screen capture of a post pertaining to the International Women's Day 2026. It contains statistical data on rates of crime, and details the role that social media platforms play in the violence carried out against women, by silencing conversations about harm, as if that was the harm itself.

This includes a discussion around the use of specific words that describe harm and crime.
