Once again I’m at a gig full of old people (for the avoidance of doubt I count myself in their numbers)

@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com I enjoyed visiting the Diane Arbus exhibition yesterday which I only knew about from your posts, so thank you

Went to see some Diane Arbus photography yesterday. Felt really uncomfortable and self conscious whenever someone got too close while I was looking at a picture of a gnc person

Still going through old resources and this from a 2018 Stonewall research paper (One of the only ones they haven't binned) on
supporting trans women in domestic and sexual violence services just broke my heart.

Content warning for transphobia, abuse, and bullying.

The Peggie reporting really does show that 1) the media is inherently transphobic and 2) they really will take the contents of press releases issued by anti-trans organisations as factual, despite the spin having been revealed again and again, eh

The idea the EQUALITY ACT makes illegal trans inclusive practices that pre date it is so farcical it's scary and yet that's the reality apparent to the supreme court
The WI has been trans inclusive since the 70s, before I was born. Do you see who in this scenario was innocently minding their own business, coming to their own arrangements locally? Do you see who is forcefully imposing themselves and their demands upon others, via threats.

@sophiedancer.co.uk would you mind if I asked you a somewhat random question? I don’t know anything about ballet, but I’m tempted by the production of The Red Shoes that’s on in London at the moment. Do you happen to know if that’d be good for an unknowledgeable neophyte?

I’m such a low volume vanilla poster, it’s taken me until today to receive my first DM from a random guy

Why do cis people insist on dropping into the conversation the deadname of the other trans person they know?

Some IT issue has resurfaced my old name in a few places and I wasn’t expecting how uncomfortable it was going to the support people about it. They’re new enough that they shouldn’t have come across my old name and it just felt gross having to show them

It at least partially because I’m not in this situation often, but I need to get better at reacting when random men interact with me when I’m out kate at night

So is Tory policy that if an immigrant falls ill with an expensive to treat illness they should be deported?
A mother with settled status whose child is disabled. The father is British by birth. They have received DLA for the child. A Tory government would deport her?

I'd really like any Conservative who has ever talked about the "party of the family" to explain why this is the right thing to do.
A policy this expansive would certainly mean mass stripping of permanent residence status from people with ILR (including pensioners and parents of British children) on a scale far beyond anything any democracy has ever done before. There is no public support for such an extreme policy.

It can be hard to know sometimes if someone is being transphobic or they’re just an asshole in general

It's why you see MPs cosying up to her and not to Caroline Litman. Esther Ghey's response to her daughter's death doesn't challenge the transphobic opinions and beliefs of the government and media. She doesn't hold them accountable for the role that they played in, and continue to play, in events

@gemma.transwrites.world I’m getting a cookie permission thing from grv.media when I go to transwrites - is this expected?

@badambulist.bsky.social I think I might have asked when you were in the middle of kimmy, but have you heard of Virtual Girl by Amy Thomson? AI woman self-actualises, MMI is really reminding me of it. Also had a trans character which feels unusual for the early 90s
