Haha I procreated once but am now too queer for any more of that ๐Ÿคฃ Why is it always the ick ones who have above-average numbers of kids? (see also Jacob Rees Mogg in this country ๐Ÿคข)

I mean, I'm 49 and not to be vain but Miller looks like he's got at least a decade on me, so your point stands ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sorry to disappoint you but it was JennYfromHR's response that got me! I guess I like my humour dark af ๐Ÿคท

I don't know why it's anyone else's business, unless they're being coerced in some way

Shon Faye's book is one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I know the intention is good here but please, for future reference, don't share or reuse a trans person's deadname.

It was probably exactly what M*** intended that many people would - even if inadvertently - cause Vivian pain by doing this.

With ALT text because important queer history.

Splitting the 'T' doesn't get you anything but a seat on a later train to the camps.

Yeah but please don't encourage people to come. One of the nice things about it is most of them aren't here.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Academic editor next level unlocked:

I can now recognise if 'Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi' is spelled correctly or not without having to look it up.

Obviously I can't spell it spontaneously. Only Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi can do that.

My (trans) partner left FB a while ago, before the latest sh*t. I'm now aiming to go quiet except in specifically trans- and queer-led or -supportive group chats. And making sure to tell my friends and community there why I'm doing so.

Third, if you do 'just make up a word', it only gets in the dictionary if it's used frequently, publicly, and consistently over a period of time.

That only happens if it serves a definite purpose - i.e. if lots of people need a word for that thing.

Judging by the last two she'll be crawling out of your screen Sadako-style in the next one ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Enter the year you turned 10 into the GIF bar to see what was popular back then

Exactly how I remember being 10 tbf

Plus, OK, not watching it is is wrong. But *not even realising* until practically the start of spring that you didn't watch it is utterly incomprehensible.

I knew someone whose GP had intentionally only prescribed patches of about half the strength she needed. That seems actually worse than refusing to prescribe it altogether - it's like a kind of medical trolling.

Experts from the trans healthcare sector too, so he's ignoring lived experience *and* the people with the most relevant medical knowledge.

You know how you always remember the embarrassing sh*t you've said but not anyone else's embarrassing sh*t? There's a reason for that.

It's because it's just you. You're the only one who does it.

We've been meaning to say, but you know, didn't wanna hurt your feelings ๐Ÿคท
