Fuck you. You have three years to find someone that doesn’t think genocide is fine and human rights are optional. Seriously, fuck you. I really can’t stress that last part enough.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline.
It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.
How bad is the Online Safety Act roll out going?
UK officials have started spreading rumors that it's the internet's fault — accusing sites like Reddit and Twitter of purposely overcensoring to undermine the unpopular censorship law.
That's Trump-firing-economist-for-reporting-bad-numbers bad.
These kids were already approved months before the new rules came in, they are supposed to be left alone.
The NHS is threatening the clinic that they must remove treatment.
They've already forced one pro-trans Dr out.
this dc situation looks pretty horrible. i wish i had more to say except that autocracy is always mundane and petty and vicious and encourages you to look away and be safe. and you can live quite normally under it until you're a direct target

Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works
Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’”
post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.”
The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.
the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit
what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!
...and there you have it.

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

That’s the message.

A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.
🧵
The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.
What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.
Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.
putting these, a public health degree, and continuing transition in a blender and seeing if any coherent thoughts come out (truly unclear if they will)
