Trans
Interesting take by @theabigailthorn.bsky.social on the 'Protect the Dolls' phenomenon. There is so much here that I have thought and felt too, but have not had the eloquence or talent to articulate. 🏳️‍⚧️

Who are the dolls which must be protected? - Trans Writes
Ari Drennen, journalist and LGBTQ+ director at Media Matters, tweeted the above on 14/10/25. There are three ways I can think of to analyse her comments:

The irony is Police Scotland are probably more of a danger to women's safety than trans people.
Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell: "A man who rapes or attempts to rape a woman, girl or other victim is, should be, and will be recorded by Police Scotland as a male."

Maitlis's evident pride that she was instrumental in stripping an entire generation of UK trans youth of gender-affirming medical care is a thorough obscenity. Starving trans kids of clinics and puberty blockers has already lead to several tragically taking their own lives and this will continue.

I reached out to @runforsomething.net two years ago, only to discover I was beyond the age limit.

Age means different things for women - especially mothers.

Many of us are not able to focus on a third thing until our children are older. And as women put off

Would have liked Glamour UK to have included at least one or two trans women over age 40. Then again, like so much else of the beauty industry they rarely include cis women over 40 either. If J K Rowling were a real feminist that would have been the issue; not their inclusion of some trans women.
Glamour UK proved how to Protect the Dolls by clapping back against JK Rowling complaining about its latest cover, which features a group of trans women.

Today, Graham Linehan is inciting his followers to burn a parent and baby to death with a flamethrower because the parent is trans. He knows he can get away with this now because the UK government, chief of the met police and Nigel Farage have given him the green light to do so. They have his back.

The only metaphor that springs to mind of toxic transphobic ghouls being 'piped' into anywhere would be that of letting in a poison gas.

It's a wonder The Scum haven't 'transvestigated' the piper. 🙄

Vexatious and vindictive legal claims mounted by transphobes should never ever be allowed. Also, being granted permission to reveal the identities of their targets publicly is nothing short of a green light to transphobic abuse, harassment, defamation and potentially even physical violence.

Charlie Kirk was a Christofascist. The quotes listed and sourced below confirm this. Christofascism had a strong presence at last Saturday's so-called 'Unite the Kingdom' (fascist) rally in London. Christofascism is a dangerous fanatical ideology that the UK would be extremely foolish to ignore.

Just the UK prime minister reprimanding his own police for arresting someone for transphobic hate crime. Starmer's swift statement on this comes shortly after Farage threatened to get Trump involved over Glinner's arrest by armed police at Heathrow today.

Feel depressed at how easily firms like Virgin Active and M&S are doing the bidding of a handful of extremist transphobic fascists. It feels like the rapid resurgence of the far-right is propelling this too. The UK and USA in particular feel on the verge of collapse into fascism.

Had another nightmare about being forced to use the men's toilets last night.

Is it just me, or do a disproportionate number of terfs have 'man' at the end of their surname? 🤔

I can see waves of GCs volunteering to be 'toilet police' if ever such a force was set up in the UK in the wake of a Bathroom Bill. They are already approaching any institutions or businesses they suspect of allowing trans people to use the right toilet and threatening them with the SC ruling. 🙄

The EHRC threatening to strip trans people's human rights away as swiftly as possible in the UK is taking its toll. I've just woken up from a dream where I ended up being thrown in prison and tortured for challenging prominent GCs online. I suspect many other trans folk are having nightmares too.

For one who coldly inflicts such devastation upon others, Streeting's absurdly thin-skinned about criticism. When he posted a reminder on his FB last Xmas about his constituency's bin collections and I told him to do the trans community a favour when they come round and climb in one, he blocked me.
When he says criminal damage does he mean the coffins left outside his office every day representing the trans kids his science denial policies have killed? Or are there other groups that he's harmed too?
Popular bugger, then?

Started a new job yesterday. On my first day in the office I admit, as a trans woman, I paused on whether I should use the women's toilets or the disabled ones. Technically, I fall into both categories but I felt I needed to be brave and start as I mean to go on by using the women's toilets.

Do any other trans people carry a personal attack alarm in their bag?

What's the point of turning up for job interviews only to find employers don't want you as soon as they find out you're trans? 🫤

How far down the transphobic rabbit hole the UK has fallen:

The House of Commons pens a formal apology to transphobic bullies who harassed a trans woman barrister for using its female toilets facilities, saying their staff should not have directed her there.

There isn't. The transphobic UK mainstream media just erases Gen X and Boomer generation trans people because our existence contradicts your 'trans is just a phase they'll grow out of' narrative.
