A div is not a button.

Not even when you are building Doom in CSS. This one is for you @matuzo.at

DOOM fully rendered in CSS. Every surface is a <div> that has a background image, with a clipping path with 3D transforms applied. Of course CSS does not have a movable camera, so we rotate and translate the scene around the user.

Currently the law, following the HC judgment says groups CAN exclude trans people but don’t HAVE to.

So any organisation excluding trans people is doing it BECAUSE THEY WANT TO.

The leaders of groups doing that (especially when they are harming children) should be held to account on that basis.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I have friends being threatened by their workplaces over the use of toilets they've been using for years without problem.

Trans people are going to continue using the facilities that we feel comfortable in and living our lives of course. It just makes us vulnerable to attack, legal threats, makes us toxic in terms of employment when employers are told they have to protect our rights while also discriminating against us

there's a new scam going around where they offer you a place to live in exchange for a monthly fee but no matter how many times you pay in excess of the property's value they still keep charging you to live there

Okay so this is true *but* not in the way most people think. Antibiotic overuse is not β€œI had five ear infections in a year so I took antibiotics five times this year”
It’s
β€œFarmers feeding antibiotics to chicken to make them fatter and more profitable” and β€œlabs dumping chemicals into the river”

It's wild how you can't just phone up your GP's surgery and say 'can I have an appointment?' any more. You have to play phonecall lottery early for a phone appointment to determine if you need to see an actual human and if you don't get through by 9am you get to try again another day.

"if they socially transition too early we think they can get locked onto a trajectory that may not have been the correct natural trajectory for them"

Direct quote.

If kids are allowed to express themselves too young, they might not end up growing up to be cisgender, and we think we might be able to pressure it out of them if we start early, goes the logic. We might be able to put them on the "correct natural trajectory" by inhibiting their preferred expression

All this does is fuel transphobic parental fears that listening to their child, taking them seriously and respecting them is somehow indulgent and harmful. And fuel efforts to suppress and punish children for trans gender expression.

If you've ever met an adult lesbian who has a short haircut and a gender ambiguous name, you will know that queer cisgender kids do not need protecting from haircuts and preferred names.

The new school guidance and the changes to trans youth healthcare very much are conversion practices. They are processes set up to deny trans children their ability to transition and deny their identity as trans all set up to get them to desist

To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them

When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.

β€˜Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining

This is a powerful story for me. Several branches of the Women's Institute are closing across the UK in protest at the new trans-exclusionary ban against trans women. It cuts through the lie by the media and GC groups about speaking on behalf of women. Solidarity.

The stealth transphobic rhetoric simultaneously argues;

1. That younger people must wait to know they are sure
2. That older people have waited too long to transition and be socially accepted.

The end game is the elimination of trans people.
