Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Man, I loved some damn Diane Keaton.

A solid broad. Self-possessed, effortless style, never felt like she took herself too seriously.

We lost a real one.

Very funny that the same day this queer lit festival is happening in Brighton, the terf conference is also happening. First time I’ve had zero worries that terfs will show up and disrupt - they’re busy today!

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

I haven’t seen Framing Agnes before and I’ve been looking for a screening.

Come along and support Morgan, too.

The national picture shows waiting times for gender identity clinics that far exceed the NHS's recommended maximum of 18 weeks.

But drilling down into the data from our investigation, 'The Gender Clinic Files' reveals huge disparities across the UK

👉 www.wearequeeraf.com/gender-clini...

THE GENDER CLINIC FILES
12 YEARS
England
58 YEARS
Scotland
2 YEARS
Wales
41 YEARS
Northern Ireland
The average waiting times across the UK according to QueerAF analysis shows they vary wildly around the UK:

Estimated wait time for a first appointment as of March 2025 (in years) based on QueerAF analysis of data from FOIs

🔴 England - 12 years
🔴 Wales - 2 years
🔴 Scotland - 58 years
🔴 Northern Ireland - 41 years

This data is shown in an infographic with a map of the UK alongside logos of QueerAF and What The Trans?!

So many classic Halloween tropes - vampires, werewolves, witches - are kind of just like “ooOoO eAstERn EUroPeaNs…!”

Letting go of defensiveness isn’t easy and no one is perfect at it, but it can completely change your life, your mental health, and your relationships.

It is no mistake that the heart of nearly every major religion in the world is humility! They were trying to tell us, babes.

If we all learned how to apologize, self-reflect, and take responsibility for our actions and mistakes literally none of this would be happening to the world.
