It always has been. Trans people knew this from the moment it was founded.

Walking around Jubilee Extension stations listening to Ghosts I-IV so I can escape being me and exist as a filler shot in a Laura Poitras documentary.

#UK #Politics Nothing to see here, except for a commissioner of the EHRC (Akua Reindorf, KC) exercising direct influence over the press regulator. But hey, in the UK this isn't a conflict of interest. Corruption is the norm in this country.. The screenshot is from her register of interest. 🀬🀬

It's stated in the article: a tiny pilot programme for CBT provided online by Silvercloud. 2 unstated aims:

1) redefine trans identity as "dysphoria" to be treated as a mental health issue through CBT

2) shift vulnerable ppl into online therapy to be scraped - & ultimately provided - by Palantir

I showed my girlfriend Double indemnity and the Apartment last week and they both went down a treat.

Would also add Orson Welles’ The Stranger and His Girl Friday as well

β€˜Invoking β€œour girls” is a familiar tactic. Childhood is a canvas onto which fantasies of vulnerability, goodness and citizenship are easily projected; daughterhood allows these fantasies to be gendered, too.’

Let’s never forget how much the British media was salivating at the prospect of Charlie Kirk’s assassin being trans in the hours leading up to today’s press conference. Stuff like this was written by identifiable individuals.

I remain cautiously optimistic about the new Wuthering Heights. Enjoyed Promising Young Woman and Saltburn because of Fennellβ€˜s classlessly class-blind sensibilities. Genuinely great β€œRah where’s my baccy” cinema

Text post screenshot. A transgender M&S manager addresses recent articles about them. They recount an interaction in the lingerie section where they offered help to a woman and teen. The customer declined, and the manager, who isn't a bra fitter, proceeded to put away returns. Weeks later, a complaint was filed citing the manager's "deep booming masculine voice" and "masculine facial features." The manager clarifies they never offered bra fitting advice and that their colleagues are supportive. The manager's boss dismissed the complaint, affirming their support. The manager expresses distress over the complaint's personal attacks.

A screenshot of a text post from a trans woman detailing her positive experiences working at M&S after undergoing Facial Feminisation Surgery. She describes receiving support from colleagues and management, including gifts and messages, after the surgery. The post addresses a newspaper article that insinuated M&S was not supportive, clarifying that the company has been overwhelmingly supportive. The author emphasizes that M&S allows any colleague to train as a bra fitter and any customer to book an appointment, regardless of gender identity. She also clarifies that the lingerie department and walkway to menswear are not "women only" spaces and that she does not enter occupied fitting rooms. The author concludes by stating that M&S respects her as a trans woman and a valued colleague, and that the real issue is tabloid newspapers twisting stories for profit.

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/
