Am I a Trans Fag? A faggot who is trans. More specifically, a trans individual who: While there has undoubtedly always been people who we might classify as trans fags...

Am I a Trans Fag? Are you a trans masc who doesn't really vibe with "man," but "nonbinary" isn't really right either? I have some news.

NEW POST: A short and sweet list to help you figure out if you are, in fact, a trans fag.

This is why we should just bury slogans like "We're all faggots" or "They're coming for us all".

Because the gay men who distance themselves from us, who have anxieties surrounding the legitimacy of their manhood and penetrability, don't see us as "all faggots".

Nor do many other queers.

"Transmisogyny hurts cis women too!"

But does that mean cis women consider their oppression interlinked with ours? Our struggles as one and the same?

The more-marginalized, more-targeted, more-scrutinized are always asked to extend solidarity we don't receive in turn.

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.

World Athletics says that "The SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex." The guy who literally discovered the gene and has spent the last 35 years researching it says they're wrong. theconversation.com/world-athlet...

Photo of calligraphy reading Gender Phantoms. The text is bright pink on a yellow background, and two syringes are on top of the page

In honour of the end of book 1 of RCBG's serialisation, and of What Comes Next, I did a calligraphy.

This is also concomitant with the specific demonization in transmisogynistic propaganda, of transfems as predatory and perverse, which encourages self-denial and viewing our identities as a sexual pathology rather than as queer expression. The vilifiation of transfemininity plays a huge role here.

Critics claim gender clinics are seeing an excess of trans boys. But new data suggest otherwise Some claim ‘social contagion’ is driving teenagers who were assigned female at birth to identify as transgender and seek medical care.

I'm glad this specifically names and discusses the mechanisms of societal transmisogyny and harsh policing of transfemininity under patriarchy, which results in transfems staying closeted for longer. While the number of trans men and women are roughly equal, trans women tend to come out later.

hi, yeah though I've taken a pretty long break for IRL reasons. why?

there’s about a month left to fill this goal.

12% left.

i cannot possibly begin to describe how grateful i am for all the support. i keep saying y’all are saving my life and that’s absolutely true, y’all are. thank you 🩶🩶🩶

If I were a Pakistani woman I am not sure I would feel particularly safe with Sandie Peggie as my nurse. Yet it's the trans woman doctor in this case who is being painted as a threat to women and girls.

Role of Sex Matters in the case Sex Matters is not a party to and is not funding Sandie's case. Our chair Naomi Cunningham is representing Sandie as part of her private practice in employment and equality law. We are proud to have been able to support Sandie Peggie at the very beginning of her case to find a solicitor, and to be offering practical and moral support to Sandie throughout the case. Sex Matters CEO Maya Forstater also acted as a witness in the case, and Sex Matters intervened twice on matters of open justice.

EXCLUSIVE: NHS Fife nurse Sandie Peggie mocked victims of Pakistan floods in series of racist posts The offensive messages, detailed below, emerged in an evidence bundle seen by The Courier at the tribunal in Dundee.

The Courier reports on Sandie Peggie's racist posts, where she used the term "p*kis" and said that, following devistating floods, Pakistan looked like a "giant bowl of coco pops".

Sandie Peggie is supported in her case by Sex Matters.

things in Gaza are terrifying right now. please donate if you can to support Alaa and her family

israel keeps promising they'll "allow" aid and then doing shit like bread line massacres and raiding incoming aid ships! stop calling it a conflict, a war, or a crisis, it's mass murder, it's mass murder, it's mass murder

it's not a hunger crisis it's a genocide. these pictures look like they could have been taken in auschwitz. human skin stretched over bones. this is a textbook campaign of extermination

wow lmao, left in time i guess?

"Read the books if you must. Don't you dare mention who wrote them."

TOO RADICAL FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE

Disinformation funded by right-wing groups like the Heritage Foundation and the ADF is increasingly driving the anti-trans narrative in elite political and media circles.

What’s missing? The perspectives of trans ppl themselves, especially young ppl.

What’s missing? Medical science.

please help May!

The excerpt from @kylietcheung.bsky.social's upcoming book Coercion hits real hard & is definitely worth a read. On state reproductive coercion, how it systemically enables abuse & more.

i don't think people hate you 💜 we're not our best when life's a bit shit. that's okay

you never need to apologise for having a bad time 🫂

The working class air of Caitlyn Jenner

Well in this specific case she's actually going for "noble working class transsexuals vs. burgerzine individualist non-transitioning transgenders" but yeah it is reductive

A summary of this article.

Jack Halberstam: "Taking HRT is bourgeois!"

JGP: "NO, changing your pronouns is bourgeois!"

Natalist, natavist, nationalist regimes: "If students even look at the wrong-gendered clothing, teachers are legally permitted to blowtorch them."
