My good friend is streaming the new #GrayZoneWarfare #GZF today!! He always has good humour, excellent insights, lots of entertainment and a great chat going. youtube.com/shorts/QI1eS...
On 13 Feb the High Court ruled that a blanket exclusion of trans people would be unlawful. Despite this, the Gov still haven’t sent back the exclusionary EHRC Code of Practice. Will you join @genderedintelligence.co.uk & email your MP to ask them to reject the EHRC guidance? gi.eaction.org.uk/EHRC2
I want to pull out one quote specifically from that screenshot:

Discord's new global age verification plans are beyond sinister!

Edgelord comedians sure have been quiet about free speech suddenly.

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.
The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
*INSTITUTIONALIZATION IS WORSE THEN JAIL*
Disabled, mentally ill, and homeless people thrown into institutions don’t get phone calls, lawyers, or trails. THEY ARE DISAPPEARED with no time limits or advocate for as long as the state pleases.
You know it’s bad when prisoners have more protections.
OH HEY ITS THE EUGENICS OF DISABLED PEOPLE WE ALL TOLD YOU WAS COMING
I feel... flat. As a trans nonbinary person, the UK gov and supreme court now want to dictate my gender based on my internal plumbing. I don't have the spoons.
I want to be at the front lines shouting their ears off. I can't leave my flat. Fuck this shit.
People need to understand that it won't matter what the specifics of thy UK supreme court decision are. The GCs control the media narrative and implementation of it in the labour government. It'll effectively mean legal segregation of trans people and the elimination of legal recognition such as IDs
just a reminder that cis women being impacted by anti-trans law is by design. it's social policing.
sorry you're surprised by this.

Joy makes the experience just about tolerable. I'm glad you're experiencing joy even though the other things are still there 💜
Good morning.
Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.
Sounds like a noun rather than an adjective. Like "I'm feeling a lot of confelicity today"
I am verified! Bluesky makes it so easy, I love it! #verified
Thank you so much! 💜
So I lost my Bluesky among the 50 or so tabs I have open at any given time in any of my 3 browser windows...
What'd I miss?
Solidarity! I recognise all of this. Can I give you a virtual hug?
I've been there and am still there to some extent. I empathise so much. And I'm glad you're not trying to be dead! That's the biggest fight a lot of the time. :-/
It's literally survival mode. I recognise this so much. It makes the creative part of your brain pretty much inaccessible and focuses all the energy into fight/flight (with a side of freeze/fawn if you have those "installed"). The rage and anger is the fight response.
A few days later there was a story in the local paper about UFO sightings in the area... Always stayed with me.
Yes! As a kid (12-13) in Norway I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the entire living room (with panoramic windows) lit up in this bright, radioactive-esque green light. I got very scared and hid under my duvet lol
I hear about so much bad shit happening in the US at the moment and I recognise the fear, panic, and associated mental paralysis so well from when the Tories took power here in the UK back in 2010. Except, y'know, 10x worse.
Please stay safe US friends. I wish I could offer a place to go...
Fucking hell that sucks! I've experienced similar before (e.g. my therapist was off sick for our appointment and no one thought to contact me) and it really does make you feel invisible.
I see you! You are real! And you are awesome to boot! 💜
Haha I kinda like the crab (despite thinking they're the spiders of the sea irl!) - tough shell, soft insides, I definitely have some pincers too. Can go unnoticed if I want to, or really make my presence known. I dunno, it works for me 😜
