So, the Not In Our Name petition aimed at the UK only has obtained MORE signatures in LESS THAN 10 WEEKS than the anti-trans targeted globally one achieved in SIX YEARS!

This has a number of implications;

1. Transphobia is much less popular than trans rights.

2. Anti-trans activists claim…

The Attack on Transgender Kids Isn’t Just Cruel. It’s an Omen. The Trump administration is showing how easily it can target any health practice it opposes.

And right on cue, here they are saying that now trans athletes should be banned from community level events as well (not that there's many that still allow trans participation). You can NEVER satisfy a bigot, once they get one thing they all keep pushing and pushing

We think, in the EHRC's haste to embed its anti trans agenda, it is breaching its legal obligations conscientiously to consider consultation responses - and we expect to sue. goodlawproject.org/the-ehrc-is-...

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.

πŸ³β€βš§ 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?

πŸ¦— Silence.

Blanket bans of trans women are unlawful as determined recently in Brussels.

You can’t ban trans girls from women’s sports based on mere assumption and perceived advantages.

Darts have not done the research to ban anyone, in fact no sport has done the research which justifies blanket bans.

No the Hampstead Ladies' Pond shouldn't ban trans women β€” for this simple reason Not only would a ban be exceedingly difficult to enforce, but this behaviour runs completely counter to the spirit of the ponds β€” and London

While our work primarily focuses on trans people who are named in the media, we will be watching this case with interest.

We hope you will consider supporting TransLucent in their efforts to support the swimmers at Kenwood Ladies Pond, who have repeatedly said they want to remain trans inclusive.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia β€œIn almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to β€˜detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

ErinReed 11 Jun 25 -- A survey of 84k trans ppl -- the largest ever -- found of those who detransitioned, 94% did so due to social discrimination & rejection. Just 4% of them (0.36% of the total) detransitioned because they were not trans. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

We should all submit a question asking Parliament about the use of unreliable evidence behind the Cass Review- which they then used to make policy in banning blockers for trans kids! ✍🏼

I'm only 14, but I'm sick of people speaking for me. They say they're doing it for the kids, but some of the trans women ARE kids. Do kids suddenly not matter if they do not fit your fantasy? Why does children not feeling happy with their own body make you so mad? If I were to be trans, would I now not count as a human being? Would I now not still be the child you are "protecting"? No. I wouldn't. Because you're not protecting me, you're protecting yourself.

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: 

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. 
 
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. 
 
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
