So many articles on Unherd asking why queer identities are declining (which I dont know is accurate) tying themselves in knots to claim victory over wokeness without implicating themselves.

Bridget Phillipson 'delaying trans guidance to help deputy leader bid'
The equalities minister is accused of pushing back publication of a code on single-sex spaces until after the Labour election ends
Those close to Bridget Phillipson, who is also education secretary, said her opponents were "weaponising gender issues" in a "cynical and divisive" way

Boomers and silents didn't have chemical castration and xes the start of aids for you to be calling 40something millenials queer elders.

Crikey! What a story to tell the grandqueers! I hope it was more positive for her than painful.

Talking to another queer elder how we're not old enough to be queer elders safe in the knowledge that it makes sod all difference to how we're perceived.

My mum was excommunicated by the Catholic church in 1965 for dykery. THAT'S a queer elder.

Bi flag on screen within the first 5 minutes of #RoitWomen, thank you Sally Wainright. It turned out to be part of a string of bunting of various pride flags.

Massive content note for suicide if you're gonna watch though.

It does look compy. Our splooter generally sleeps on his back, which does not look comfortable at all but is still weird.

I wonder if Geoff's previous life was with dogs, because I dont think I've seen a feline sploot.

Yep, facing discomfort around you from both groups is most definitely part of the issue. Not for everyone, of course, but I hear it a lot.

We're still a grand down from running the bi+ community fair on 31 Aug. If we dont break even there won't be another one!

But look at these cute seasonally appropriate stickers!

They appear to be using the most unflattering pics on purpose and I think they're trying to imply clockability, presumably as a tool of further humiliation because the media is foul. Her posted selfies are very different.

I would like to be able to tag accounts Ive blocked with why I've blocked them. Posting AI and claiming its real, thinking liberation is you pissing on someone else, meangirling, biphobic arseholery.

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 3d

Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets.

This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively.

They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.

FILIA calls itself "Europe's largest feminist conference."

In reality, it is a hub for all the worst and most authoritarian politics that hides under the feminist label. FiLiA's approach is not feminist, it is cruel, rigid, and hurts the people most vulnerable under patriarchy.

Anti-trans politics

FILIA advertises more events and speakers which focus on transgender people than any other topic. This includes a workshop for individuals to learn how to set up groups to exclude transgender people, and an event celebrating the recent supreme court ruling that threatens to push trans people out of public life, and has already increased harassment and violence faced by trans people.

Real feminists understand that transphobia is a manifestation of patriarchy, and that liberation for women cannot be seperated from liberation for trans people.

Anti-sex work politics

FiliA advocates the Nordic Model - where selling sex is legal but buying it is a crime. Compared to completely decriminalising sex work, the Nordic Model results in less abuse being reported, and more sex workers being targetted by police.

Opposing adult content online, including in video games

FILIA signed a recent petition that resulted in hundreds of video ga being banned from online distributors, and have invited the organ Collective Shout to speak at the conference. This goes against TRANS artistic freedom.
