I've only just figured out what the word Yeet means.

*Thank you @flintywrites.bsky.social
When I was at the protest last weekend. There were agitators from the far right who was clearly there to cause trouble.

One of them even "joked" about wanting an umbrella to be smashed.

they were goading some into doing something so the police could attack us.

Police Scotland already disenfranchised the trans community when they placed political expediency before enforcing criminal laws on harassment, when they granted JK Rowling immunity.

It would be a monumental tragedy if this police force caved-in to organised hatred again. PLEASE send a paper…

I remember a time when I had no idea who Glinner was (back in 2022).

I wish that continued 3 years later.
there’s a trans woman on ‘only connect’ and graham linehan is hassling victoria coren over it.

i like how he thinks he can out-fox a three time world poker champion by laying down a dipshit ultimatum and then saying ‘a simple yes or no will suffice’ like the dumbass debate-me-bro he’s become.
Seems the WTT Instagram has grown far larger than I expected. I've accidentally become an influencer...

How does someone do this Instagram thing?
Same as Claire on this one.

Maybe there needs to be some questions asked about the NHS and it's inefficiency to gather and analyse data properly across the whole organisation.
Given the utter failures of NHS data collection in adult gender services, this unfortunately does not surprise me.
Last week I met @breastcancernow.bsky.social in parliament to celebrate #WearItPink. Shocked to learn the NHS does not collect detailed data on people with incurable breast cancer. Without that data how can they assess what treatments and support work best? I'll be writing to Minister about this
Brianna seems like an arsehole and I'm sure we will never ever do any work with her.
It's always great when we get to work with Assigned Media and I think I might have to find another excuse to get into another project with them.
@alyssaur.bsky.social is probably one of the best hosts we had on WTT USA. And is a brilliant journalist

Brianna on the other hand... Pfft.
Update on @alyssaur.bsky.social sending an obvious threat of violence to me.

Her employer @evanurquhart.bsky.social is pretending this was not a threat and doubling down.

How can trans activism have a future if we act exactly like Gamergate? We should have standards of behavior.
It's gonna be a busy week too.

With the q&a and the WTT discord's Minecraft server launching on Friday.
Another episode. The first topic on Esther was a tricky one that we had to be careful to get right.

Finally relieved to see the end of the project that was the Gender Clinic Files.

Aside from the q&a tomorrow. I'm looking forward to focussing on other projects.
New Podcast Episode: The Gender Clinic Files Episode 3

In this Episode we discuss:

Esther Ghey's phone free education campaign

Submissions to Ganhri about the EHRC

And the final part of the Gender Clinic Files.

And more:

Thought I'd get some stuff done tommorow. Gonna call it a rest day instead.
I realise that if I'm to do more of these. I need to exercise more.

I am really unfit.
Now on my way home. Now Im gonna treat myself to some ribs and chips I had in my fridge and watch a movie.
What an intensely exhausting day. Lots of work with reporting and running around.

One of the most intense protests I've reported on.

But we countered the terfs whether they turned out. So that's a victory we can take.
Today we will be reporting on the counter protests in both London and Wales today. @nightkristina.bsky.social will be in Wales and I @alyx.whatthetrans.com will be in London.

In London I have already left a business card at where the terfs will be congregating at parliament square.
What's people's bets on how quickly someone will bring out the discourse on not smashing windows?
Breaking:

Bash Back targets the EHRC.

We have sent a reporter over this morning for more photos
Also, quite convenient timing that Andrew got stripped of his titles around the same time as the news about Reeves housing situation came out too.
What's the likelihood that everyone at Labour HQ is reviewing their housing situation at the moment?

Part 2 of the Gender Clinic Files is out, looking at the impact if Cass recommendations for adult services were introduced, affecting more than 32k young trans adults just from the current waiting list.

Huge thanks to @wearequeeraf.com & @whatthetrans.com for their work on this series.
Majority of adults waiting for Trans+ healthcare are under 25
Two-thirds of Trans+ people would lose care if all Cass Review recommendations implemented

Seeing a lot of discourse around trans meds again.

I don't want anything to do with them.

If anyone is trying to gatekeep transness, you aren't welcome in any community I am a part of.

There is no magical threshold of "trans enough".
I also double checked. In the WTT discord. Any trans medicalism is banned. As we do not want that in our community spaces.
I've found the origin of the recent discourse around it.

bsky.app/profile/jane...

I will say this shit has been rumbling for years. But every so often discussions on it pop up.
This post was about my submission to Assigned Media. I wanted to talk about Transsexuals without having to dance around the word. I explain here why I call myself and my people Transsexuals.
Our lives are already policed by so many cis people deciding whether my transness is valid enough with healthcare and gender recognition.

I do not need another set of bastards in my own community to tell me how to exist and act or feel.
And the transsexual label. I'm never going to ever refer to myself with that term. And it always sets off alarm bells when I hear someone refer to themselves like that.

Some folks are chill and don't gatekeep. But there are so many folks who gatekeep so much.
