It's just so brazenly evil beyond words

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Once again, sex is not a simple binary:

I donated £30 to the UN World Food Programme who last week delivered 350 truckloads of food to Gaza under extremely dangerous conditions. But it’s not enough.

Who will match my £30 donation and pass it on?

100,000 People Marched at London Trans+ Pride. The Transphobic UK Media Ignored It. The UK’s biggest news outlets ignored a record-breaking march for trans equality, despite publishing dozens of trans stories each week.

🏳‍⚧ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely.

These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity?

🦗 Silence.

Read why it matters ⬇️

Trans women change a large % of their sex characteristics from male to female, which means pound for pound your average trans woman is far more female than male. It therefore makes complete sense to refer to trans women as biological women.

Trans women are biological women.

Most humans have mostly one set of sex characteristics or the other but we're all a bit of a mixture and no one is 100% male or female. 🧵

I think the one problem is a lack of empathy. Greed stems from that. It's the defining difference between left and right - the less empathy you have for others, the more right wing your politics will be.

Because being a trans woman is still considered so disgusting that you can sue someone for suggesting you are one. This is how much society hates us.

You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

"You inspire me,” he said.
“You are a symbol of courage, and you inspire fear in those that are afraid of being their true selves. And I think that’s the threat, if your joy and your radical bravery in living your life in joy.”

Look around the world at every single problem and it's all Greed.

No Healthcare, Greed.
No Housing, Greed.
Climate Change, Greed.
War, Greed.

The problem is simple, the solution is to remove from power the people causing them.

Israel butchers people every day while starving them to death and building a concentration camp.

And the world does nothing or aids them.

This is what it was like during the Holocaust.

I used to bank with Virgin Money, I’ve moved my assets out.

It's interesting they will suggest a million ways for a poor person to save money, usually by stopping doing anything.

But they will never suggest the incredibly rich billionaires reduce their profits on essentials.

That's because they are all employed by billionaires.

Just heard my GP has been fired for helping trans kids! This is the guy who prescribes my hrt and adhd meds, I guess I’ll probably be losing my access to the medicines I need to be a functioning human real soon!

I got mine for the same reason, but it cost nearly £500 with all the doctor's letters (not available on NHS) and swearing a declaration in court.

Fully expect them to use the supreme court to cancel GRCs and annul our marriage at some point, but hope to be living in Norway before that happens.

Aurora defines ‘pit-nicking’.

It hurts no-one when people just are themselves.

UK welfare spending "too expensive".

Also UK Welfare spending, almost the lowest in Europe.

Often it is the law that is wrong.

Just trans people doing normal things and living normal lives.

This is one of the most extraordinary books I've read... It's harrowing in parts, it's glorious in it's descriptions and heart-warming with it's gentle romance and deep love. Took me on a journey that made me realise the importance of being who we are and recognising that acceptance, tolerance and understanding should be applied in every aspect of our lives. Amazon Customer ...totally gripped from start to finish. Hamer’s writing was so vivid and evocative it transported me to another time and place. She doesn’t shy away from the violence and fear of a life as a transgender women in Victorian times but the book is also full of love, hope and joy. Everyone should read this book! Jai Mackenzie ...This book will pull you in and let you feel the emotions of the central character. Truly a portal into a world that a lot of us don't understand, but we as humans need to... deeply touching. Elaine Simpson Her feelings, thoughts, and tentative steps to realizing her dream caused me to reflect on my own childhood, a rare achievement in a work of fiction... HW Coyle I think anyone, trans or not, will enjoy this! Caroline M Mathieson ...I just absolutely adore Emmeline as a character; intelligent, resourceful, creative and with big heart... my only complaint is that it had to end. Lily Nichole Robinson ...very quickly became totally enthralled... a real page turner to be read almost at a sitting. Robyn Hoode This is undoubtedly a precursor to a very bright future for the author, well written, broad scope fully intriguing and believable in all ways... a true romantic novel with the grit and love, violence and desperation... I was smitten with the main character and found her totally believable and very relatable... Jar ...just a great, gripping story, wonderful characters, and a perfect ending. LibrarianCyn
