This afternoon, our branch voted very strongly in favour of the motion below, expressing support for trans, intersex & non-binary people, & demanding our institution does the same (e.g. by restoring the seemingly vanished uni policies RE trans & intersex people).

Influencers fuelling misogyny in schools, teachers say Almost three in five teachers believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, according to a union poll.

It isn't trans and non-binary individuals who are a threat, it is men like Tate leading a rise in misogyny. It takes unity to combat that toxicity. Discrimination against trans and non-binary individuals feeds the division they need to twist young people's minds. 1/

This is what it comes down to in terms of how we actually function in society: not “what is a woman?”, but “how do you know I’m a woman?” Nobody has ever asked to inspect my gametes or chromosomes. Presentation is literally all anyone is going on.

If men want to rape us they do not need to “pretend” to be women to get into our toilets or our changing rooms. They can just…rape us, in those spaces or other public spaces or in our workplaces or our homes, and they can be statistically pretty certain that they will never face punishment for this.

Statistically in Britain if you are a cis man and you rape someone you are overwhelmingly likely to get away with it, there is a vanishingly small likelihood that you will be convicted. That is a feminist issue. Trans women wanting to use women’s toilets or play women’s football: not so much.

I'm falling asleep
She's calling a cab
He's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Mr Brightside's coming to town.

They should invent a year that you can make it through without feeling like it's trying to kill you.

The Ns justify the means

A building in Oxford, on a clear sunny day. It’s grand and long, with battlements, and the trans flag is flying on its flagpole.

I got a slightly better picture of the building with the trans flag behind it (what is it?)

Good morning Bluesky.

A soft black cube, about 6” on each side, with Durham university branding. It’s plonked in between two visualisers on the lecture desk.

Somehow both the lapel mics in my lecture theatre were missing, so I’ve just spent an hour talking into The Cube

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and the nine secret races of dogmen. Look out. They could be anyone

Really proud of this one, our twentiethst issue yet 🐜

The white bit is called rolled edge glass apparently! From the teeny papercuts on my fingertips when I got home I think the rest was deceptively sharp

Thank you! Hoping it all stays in place as it gets fired 🤞🏻
