We exist in some of the poorest, most brutal parts of the world but are told it is just a western fad that will die out.
We have been here to see many civilisations & Religions rise & fall... we will continue to do so as we are a part of what it is to be human, they are just footnotes.

Told my brother the best way to some graphics he was doing...
not only did he ignore me... but several hours later comes back to slowly mansplain how difficult it is doing it his way.

On Sunday I was with my fellow Model Boat Display Team members at Chichester Canal Basin. Each year we let fireworks off from our boats to celebrate the arrival of Santa.

It's obvious to anyone who isn't gender Critical but always good to see a post that hammers the point home.
How gender critical was Nazi Germany? Let’s find out & compare some top gender critical “beliefs” with evidence from historical Nazi Germany. Each post has a GC position + a picture from a historical source or modern research paper. English translation & the source are in each picture’s alt-text.

As a trans woman my best bit of advice for anyone newly transitioning is to get used to the simmering anger you will have once you lose those male privileges you never wanted to admit you had.

Also today... let's continue to not investigate attacks on women. 🙄😠
More than a QUARTER of police forces in England and Wales still haven’t implemented basic policies for investigating sexual offences.
It’s like they don’t care. It’s scandalous, but it’s borne out by the experiences of so many women – women like Nina Cresswell.

Again this is exactly where we trans people said all the attacks on us and the separating women off from the equal rights we have now would lead too.
Equality or segregation, there is no middle ground... allow it for some and soon it will be all.

Segregation normalises segregation. It ends up with your society looking like ISIS or Jim Crow, or some hellish combination of both.

Having lost my Mum to cervical cancer, every time another of these results come out from around the world I feel a little happier that maybe one day no one will have to suffer from it or the loss of someone they care deeply about.
Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

We trans people said all along that these bigots didn't just hold one bad world view, now they're not even trying to hide it. At what point enough women will recognise the attack from within and do something about it, who knows.
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
