Screenshot of the linked post. Transcription follows. Cait the Proud Trans Woman @oldladyplays@wargamers.social Hey! It's activisting time! This is our first press appearance for the campaign to get Zara into Canada. She's a Black trans woman from the US, came here with her husband, but he turned out to not be what she needed in a partner, and she found herself needing to leave. She's looking for temporary housing in Vancouver, so if you're in that area, or have reliably not-racist friends there who might have room, we'd be very grateful to hear about that lead. While there are many shelters, every single one (we've contacted them all) has a wait list of at least months. So if you can please boost this post hard, and if you can donate to our fundraiser (also listed below), we'd be hugely grateful, and we can carry on hoping to kick the door open into Canada for US trans folk. My name is Cait Glasson; I've been an activist for 30+ years in Canada for trans and queer spaces. You can Google that name - all the results are me, unless they're a 12-year-old in Australia, who is the only other person sharing my name on the planet. We should be fairly distinguishable. I'm 59, fat, white, and old, with green hair and a side shave. She's 12, and speaks Strine natively. If you can't access PayPal, or don't want to, you can absolutely donate through me personally, and I will direct it to the fundraising account so you can see that it arrived there. Personally, I can accept Interac (in Canada), Wise, and am willing to look at other options if you need them. For that access, DM me here, or reach me on Signal at oldladyplays.11. If you are able to spread the links to other platforms, that'd be like super magic wonder twin powers. Thanks, my friends. Fly, my pretties! https://thetyee.ca/News/2025/09/17/America-Increasingly-Unsafe-Black-Trans-People/ https://gogetfunding.com/help-zara-reach-safety/

Regardless of whether trans women have any actual advantage in sport, the exclusionists are shown up by their choice of language. By continuing to call it "women's sport", they deliberately exclude trans women from being women. If they were acting in good faith, they'd say "cis women's sport".

Oh noes! 🫂

Oh no! They do tend to wander more in hot weather. But I do hope the silly little thing is alright.

To all our non-binary folks, we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you. Your courage to be authentically you in a world that often tries to fit people into boxes is inspiring.

Lying down in public because you need to rest is a radical act. Security will move you on. People will think you are homeless. But you are just in pain or tired or just need to take a moment. This is a fundamental human need. youtu.be/JuG1G33BbCs?...

While we all enjoy living our lives and celebrate with pride, we cannot forget that Stonewall, the start of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, was a riot against police weaponising sexual violence against trans women, like the British Transport Police are threatening to do now in light of the inconsistent, dangerous guidance issued by the UK Supreme Court. This pride month cannot earnestly be a month of celebrating queer lives without the following pressing issues being addressed: • UK government departments are currently working with ‘sex matters’ an organisation dedicated to ‘reducing the number of trans people,’ while simultaneously shutting out trans voices; an egregious violation of the “nothing about us, without us” principle which remains a cornerstone in preventing violence and medical violence against disabled and minority communities. • Despite numerous peer reviewed studies stating trans women hold no physical advantage over cis women after a certain point of HRT, trans women are still being barred from sports - including sports such as darts, pool or chess, where physical attributes are largely irrelevant. • Trans people are being de facto banned from public spaces by criminalising trans dignity. The ability to safely use toilets without fear of harassment or violence is critically necessary for both work and education. • Civil service employees being prevented from supporting the LGBTQ+ community by arbitrarily banning pride or trans-coloured lanyards in order to “save money,” while government finances continue to be thrown away on CEO bonuses for mismanaged water companies illegally dumping sewage. • Trans people are regularly denied access to domestic violence shelters and survivor’s services. Nottingham survivors are lucky to have pro-trans survivor’s services available to them – it is critical that this minimum standard of care is extended to trans victims of violence across the country. • Medical violence and withheld care is responsib…

As allies and even passers-by recognise that the discrimination we face and have faced at the hands of consecutive governments is completely unacceptable, let us seize this moment to act now, and to ensure a future where we can all of us stand together in strength and in pride!

I think my highest finish was 3rd in the Diamond Championships. Maybe where I go next will be more focused on learning than gamification.

I've long run out of Welsh, and that's no longer so relevant to me; I'm finding the teaching style frustrating with Polish; and I'm sure there are better options for strengthening my French (which ideally don't need so much three-way translation via American English).

I'm quitting DuoLingo on a 1024 day streak, because that's a good number. A number of friends have already quit over the pivot to AI, and in addition I'm just not getting anything out of it.

I had a similar experience with Y-Food.

Y indeed.

Peter John Kyle has made the clearly genocidal move to criminally add a pink star to every government record involving trans people.

Hello neurospicy friends, my friends @josiehenley.bsky.social and @edithengland.bsky.social are doing research into homelessness on folks with Autism, ADHD/ADD or AuDHD etc. Would you consider participating in their survey and then sharing it widely:

Oooooooatcakes!

A banner with a teal and purple background that says "I support rare disease day" in white text. In each corner are the following: The rare disease day logo, 28 Feb 2025, Learn more on rarediseasday.org, and hashtag RareDiseaseDay.

I have Trigeminal Neuralgia, a rare condition (1 in 8000) that causes sudden, severe facial pain. It gets worse over time + there is no cure. Sufferers of rare diseases often have to contend with health systems that lack scientific knowledge + reliable treatment, and access to social support.

It turns out if your movement is based on solidarity, the right answer is kinda obvious.

Comment dit en Français "nonbinary"?

This is fucking ridiculous, but nevertheless worth knowing:

Oh look, yet another reason to avoid Amazon

2024 is the first year in which I openly taught Computer Science with a gender presentation that matches my gender identity. In doing so, I have gained a dignity that I lacked for decades. I grant no electorate the right to vote away my dignity.

The ability to police cis women not performing their femininity the way the patriarchy requires is *precisely* the desired end-point of these policies, in fact.

Even my grandpa (maternal) shunned novels in favour of biography, history and travel writing, because they weren't sufficiently improving.
