Cracking my middle aged egg in May 2025 in the UK. Impeccable timing you could say. Trans women, she/her, Scotland Block and move on if an interaction is joyless.

I am desperately trying to find a legit artist who can create art that looks like stained glass windows! Like you know the Chapel in Blue Prince? Like that!

If you know someone or are someone who can do that, please can you reply to this post? πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜­ #art

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

Trans Porn Is Booming. Trans Rights Are Fading We asked trans adult creators about the complicated link between desire and politics, as trans porn is booming while rights fade.

Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive

The Courts and the Closet: A History of Judicial Bias Against Trans People There’s something especially cruel about the way the law has handled trans lives. Time and again, British courts have treated trans people…

Last May, I wrote about how UK courts can not be trusted when it comes to trans folk just trying to live their lives. With the humiliating example of how April Ashley was treated in Corbett v Corbett.

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won't be able to do anything else at all

Shabana Mahmood

Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don't want extremes - they want a system that is managed and fair

Shabana Mahmood is the UK home secretary

This is a hot mess of outright lies and misinformation from the Home Secretary, designed to try and persuade people that a government which is implementing some of the most hostile anti-immigration/asylum policies, in practice, for decades is progressive. 1/

Labour is what happens when the nominally "center-left" party stands for absolutely nothing and just shifts more and more to the right in a foolish attempt to woo voters to their right: a massively unpopular party that's going to get absolutely crushed... and right-wing policies.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

Zack Polanski, a man in a black blazer and white shirt, stands smiling alongside Laila from Pride in Education. Laila wears a white blouse, a pinstriped vest, and a keffiyeh scarf. She is smiling and pointing toward a Trans+ History Week pin on Zack’s blazer lapel. Both are standing against a plain white wall.

I actually don't have words as to how angry I am.

Wonder what happened in these countries that people on student visas in the UK found themselves needing to apply for asylum instead of going home post 2021.

UK Labour are heartless bastards & apparently have bo idea whats happening in the world.

Transgender People, β€œGay Conversion,” and β€œLesbian Extinction”: What the Data Show A couple days ago (on Christmas, actually), The Telegraph ran a piece with the provocative title: β€œLesbians facing β€˜extinction’ as…

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us β€œsexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

"Professor Jacob George is recused from *further* involvement on the Pathways clinical trial as a precaution.”

Am pleased they admit he was involved. But you can't cure bias after the fact and our lawyers will be writing to the MHRA about its ascientific 'concerns' about the trials.
