Hello everyone! Intro post I guess 😄
My name is Zoe Storm and I write trans and queer stories! Mostly coming-of-age stories set in high school and college, but I write lots of different stuff, from slice of life to sci-fi to fantasy.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

boys being boys (being violent to girls & queer people & each other) is just normal and fine of course. that's the whole damn ruling class of [insert country here]. god forbid a "boy" exists who likes hanging out with girls and she herself is a girl who considers other girls her equals
i love this point bc it really is so absurd that so much of transmisogyny is predicated on protecting girls from the violence of boys so one would think that actively encouraging boys to view girls as their peers and confidants would be good. and yet
very funny to me that both liberal and radical feminist legal policy are complete and utter failures of projects because in response to a situation where "boys" want to play with girls and associate with girls the response by the state is to ban this to ensure it's either become a patriarch or die

Hiding behind the fear of boys hurting girls is the fear that boys might become the kind of people who don't *want* to hurt girls

An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

Anytime you encounter this in the wild, just reply "so?"
The only reason anyone would care if white people "went extinct" (and, Christ, get a grip) would be if they thought white people were inherently superior for some reason. Make them say that with their whole chest.

Reminded when reading this of all the "think of the children" hysterics and how much "kids are too young to understand trans people" lines are just adults projecting their own prejudices. While they be a bit clumsy and basic, kids understand the basic idea of being trans quite easily.
It was only 12 years ago that the coroner at Lucy Meadows' inquest blamed the media for playing a part in her death, hounding her for daring to be a trans woman who was also a teacher. Making trans lives unliveable - making us unhirable - is recent history.

Let's see what happens if we bar kids from socialising, remove any hope of treatment in the near future, make it impossible for them to exist in communal places... I'm sure it'll be fine.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

None of the former officers accused by the IOPC will face disciplinary proceedings because they have all retired
Twelve police officers would have faced disciplinary cases of gross misconduct for a catalogue of professional failings relating to the Hillsborough disaster if they were still serving, the police watchdog has said.
However, no former officer named by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) will face disciplinary proceedings because they have all retired. Some, including Peter Wright, the chief constable of South Yorkshire police at the time of the 1989 disaster, have died. Continue reading...
