Rereading my masters dissertation and I did not remember I'd dedicated it to my Dogs (both very sadly now gone)

This ruling is cruel, homophobic, transphobic and misogynistic, It’s also fucking unworkable. Thia is how fascism works, it creates an unfollowable set of rules for marginalise minorities, so they can punish us for not being able to follow them

Due to my long hair people regularly get confused and think I'm a trans femm not trans masc, its happed at work and back in the day it happened on a tinder date. Apparently the fact I hadn't previously stated what was in my pants meant I was somehow deceiving my date, even if they knew I was trans

It sucks so much because learning is a joyful process and should be both encouraged and free for everyone

That’s heartbreaking to hear; the entire university system in both the US and UK is collapsing due to the systemic defunding of the arts humanities and social sciences. The only reason I’m able to do this PhD is a grant and even that’s now been discontinued for new students

There's a few cool alt-people doing PhDs in my department (Media Arts and Hummanities), but most us won't even make minimum wage when we're done, so I can see why numbers are dwindling

I really need to stop posting, get out of bed and do some goddamn work

Fantastic.
Coincidentally I’m wearing the old Green Party uniform, they make very comfortable pyjamas!

Bold of Peter Thiel to call anyone else the Antichrist

This is so fucking evil, they are intentionally taking kids healthcare away, knowing full well it’s going to destroy lives and likely kill some of them. That’s not an accident; that’s the whole point, to reduce the number of trans people by any means. Its eugenics, plain and simple.

Funny the NHS gave me HRT aged 19, a decade ago none of this was an issue, the only reason they bring up transition age now is to try and prevent legal adults from transitioning. Without HRT ar 19 I'd never have been able to go to uni let alone have my career as a researcher!

When the Supreme Court can act as if trans people never had rights, retroactively redefine “sex” in the 1974, 1975, and 2010 Acts of Parliament, and somehow deem criminal law to incorporate that by reference, who even needs to persuade the legislature to pass laws criminalising trans people?

Got a new bargain dress from a charity shop, makes me feel like a 1940s ghost. I think it was previously worn for drag as someone has already altered it to make the chest area flat, yay for whoever did that!

Things were bad in the uk then, but it’s even worse now, I wouldn’t even trust the police to collect a doughnut from Greg’s

8 years ago me and another trans person were assaulted by one of my exes. We ended up deciding we couldn’t report her because we didn’t want to put her through the uk legal system. But to this day I live in terror, knowing she’s still out there and probably hurting more trans people!

Just one more.

BREAKING: BASH BACK TARGET FiLiA ANTI-TRANS CONFERENCE

The conference, whose alumni include J.K. Rowling, this year hosts hate groups LGBAlliance and Transgender Trend, along with the director of Scottish Lesbians, one of the groups responsible for April's segregationist Supreme Court ruling.

"Our city is being invaded by transphobes this weekend." Trans Pride Brighton issues statement ahead of "anti-trans" Filia Conference This weekend the Brighton Centre will host the Filia Conference 2025, an event which bills itself as a feminist event, raising issues about global women's rights. Sounds great, right? Well, it’s a lie...

@ohsarahsavage.bsky.social attacks the failure of Brighton council allowing the anti-trans faux-feminist group Fillia to hold a “conference” in the city.

The existence of even one “gender-crit” who doesn’t understand the difference between anecdote and data dismantles the central lie that “gender-critical beliefs” are not inherently based on conversion therapy and a misrepresentation of science.

17-year-old trans girl's suicide over NHS wait times was preventable says coroner A 17-year-old trans girl's death by suicide over NHS wait times could have been prevented with swift intervention, a coroner has ruled.

TW: child suicide.

The NHS continues to fail trans kids.

This child’s suicide was preventable, the coroner said, but not by the NHS as it is currently operating.

The BBC is CAPTURED at the highest level by ardent right-wing supporters, funders, and propagandists!

There is absolutely NO WAY that the BBC is not significantly biased and explains the broadcaster’s significant push towards right-wing rhetoric & promotion of hard-right politicians.

It’s about damn time we reclaimed frogs from the fascists, they don't deserve adorable slimy little guys as mascots

Fan Studies question: does anyone know the exact origin of the term "headcanon"? I know it comes from fic around 2007, but can't find anything more specific than that.

I’d really recommend creating a clothes spreadsheet so you can note down any clothes that leach colour in the wash. It’s genuinely super useful for managing washing and can also be a helpful tool for choosing outfits as you don’t have to take everything out to remember what you have!

The way the right builds their "violent left" narrative is being hyperreactive to any action by anyone they perceive to be on the left and blasting it all over conservative media while systematically ignoring any violence by the far right. Mainstream media covers the former but barely the latter.

Please chip in if you can. This was a devastating act against a community already being attacked in my community. It genuinely makes me so sick to my stomach people within my community may have done this (or they came to Brighton, nobody knows yet), and

Zack Polanski: I'm a Jewish Mancunian. Our grief cannot be used to silence protest.

Evidence‐based medicine has three pillars: (i) appraisal of research evidence, (ii) real‐world clinical expertise, and (iii) individual patient values and preferences. The Review's failures across all three are evident. Clinician and researcher self‐awareness of personal values is essential for evidence‐based medicine practice. Non‐financial conflicts of interest should be disclosed; for example, religious, cultural, and so‐called “gender‐critical” beliefs. The Review acknowledges no such considerations, and does not disclose the positionality of authors.

The new Aussie critique of the Cass Review does not pull its punches about its failures, & makes the point that "gender-critical beliefs" should be declared.

Since transphobes have made so much of having these protected by law, they should be required to declare them.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
