Critical Cupcake 🌈 ♿ ⚛️

PIP renewal arrived

I've been assessed by surgeons, doctors, physios, psychologists numerous times since I was 12, all have said my condition is worsening and will not improve

I was previously awarded lifetime DLA, before it was scrapped

Why am I so completely terrified? 😫

Who'd have thought it'd be the Labour Party that would reintroduce Section 28? 🤦‍♀️

Apparently one of you lovely lot think I like cupcakes 🤭💖🎉

NEW: We’ve uncovered how the EHRC met behind closed doors twice with anti-trans group Sex Matters to discuss rolling back trans rights. What they said will alarm you. 1/6

The more I try to do, the more acutely aware I shouldn't be around people 😥

Edinburgh Pride is without a doubt the most inclusive and friendly experience of all the prides I attended.

🎶 Not very long ago
Just before your time
Right before the towers fell, circa '99
This was catalogues, travel blogs,
A chat room or two
We set our sights and spent our nights
Waiting for you 🎶

Hah, now long what you've done with it! 😣

ooooh I've a photo we took last week about this that I forgot.

ty for the alt, I struggle to do them when I'm out.

An open letter to Keir Starmer Signing this open letter is a powerful act of solidarity with the trans community at a critical moment. It sends a clear message to the Prime Minister that trans voices matter, that their rights must ...

Our co-chair @jamiestrudwick.bsky.social says: "Today, #DoctorWho fans like me are excited for the finale. But outside of fiction, we are fighting our own 'Reality War' - one where our identities are under attack. Sign our open letter - TIME is running out."

What happened in Liverpool yesterday was devastating, but responsibly for it lies firmly with the police and the council.

Every single piece of footage demonstrates clearly that it wasn't safe to reopen the roads and they did it anyway, safety of the fans be damned. 😡

I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR.
The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points:
- transphobic bias in EHRC
- nightmare of SC ruling
- toilet bans are awful
- must hear trans voices
- IGLA rainbow map

STANDING TOGETHER: A UNITED FRONT FOR TRANS RIGHTS As the organisers of the UK's largest Pride events in Birmingham, Brighton, London and Manchester, we come together today in unequivocal solidarity with our trans community. We are united not only in message, but in purpose. At a time when trans rights in the UK are under growing attack, our resolve has never been stronger: we will not allow progress to be undone. We will not stand by as the dignity, safety, and humanity of our trans siblings are debated, delayed, or denied. What is happening here in the UK is not isolated. It is part of a disturbing global trend-from the banning of Pride events in Hungary to anti-trans legislation in the United States-where LGBTQ+ rights are being systematically rolled back. The UK must not follow this path of regression. Instead, it must rise as a global leader in human rights and equality. The recent ruling by the UK Supreme Court to exclude trans women from the definition of the term 'woman' underscores the urgent need for immediate action. In this moment, we choose to stand firmer, louder, and prouder in demanding change that protects and uplifts trans lives. That is why this year, we are collectively suspending political party participation in our Pride events. Know that this is not a symbolic gesture. It is a direct call for accountability and a refusal to platform those who have not protected our rights. We demand real commitments and measurable progress. The Pride movement was born from protest, and we must continue to embody that spirit with intention and urgency.

To move forward, we need more than promises. We need every political party to stand unequivocally with every member of the LGBTQ+ community, and to centre the voices of trans people in policy, practice, and public life. Collectively, we call for: • Full and enforceable protections under the Equality Act • Timely and dignified access to NHS gender-affirming healthcare • A reformed, accessible Gender Recognition Certificate process • Sustainable funding for trans-led services and support organisations across the UK This is the minimum. Anything less is not allyship, it is abandonment. To those in power: when you demonstrate true solidarity and tangible commitment to trans rights, we will stand with you. Until then, we will continue to speak truth to power and fight for a future where every trans person can live safely, freely, and proudly. As Pride events across the UK face mounting challenges, our resolve only grows stronger. We will not be silenced. We will not be divided. Together, we will build a national movement rooted in justice, unity, and unapologetic pride. Now, more than ever, we need everyone to show up for trans lives and show up for Pride. In solidarity, Birmingham Pride Brighton Pride Pride in London Manchester Pride
