Going to get my NHS HRT renewal today. To do that I'll walk past my GP surgery, get on a train to glasgow, walk through the city centre, meet a pharmacist, get a train back, walk past my GP again, wait for the prescription to come by post, then take it to the pharmacy next to my GP.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.
It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment.
It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

Every trans person I know supported the decriminalisation of abortion.
In contrast plenty of
“feminist”
“protecting women”
“women’s concerns”
“gender critical”
transphobic bigots opposed it.
Transphobes use “women’s rights” as a cover for transphobia. They don’t care about women’s rights.

🚨Charity Oxfam windows defaced by Genital Critical Ideological Movement (GCIM) activist Kellie-Jay Keen 🚨
Pride display windows have been vandalised by homophobic cult preacher, in an attempt to bring further harm towards the LGBTQ+ community during Pride month.

The Cass Review is fraud science
Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

It’s so exhausting. The amazing @hleehurley.substack.com tracks media reporting on trans issues the UK. His data really highlight how the mainstream press are constantly banging on about trans folk. For example, in February there were NINETY-NINE articles about trans people—an average of 3.5 a day.

I don't want to hear any more mumbling queers performatively distancing themselves from the thing they are demanding my attention for, while taking yet more of my time to do the performative distancing!

nerdy audio engineering hot tip: I don't know if I've ever seen omni dynamic reporter mics used in any studio I've been in but I am very impressed trying them today on amps, acoustic instruments, vocals... feel ideal for someone like me who loves bleed and hates proximity effect

This is why "born this way" doesn't really work. The difference between Silent and X can be explained by more openness about coming out. Between X and Z? That's more queers being MADE by a sex/gender system that's changing along with lots of other systems.

The big question is, what is the _ceiling_ on LGBTQ+ identification?
