Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

monstrous

Amazing that it’s always the same three transphobic columnists, over and over and over again. Here, we have the lesbian JD Vance rewriting a history she was never part of.

I would be confident betting every thing I own that it is 100% illegal to remove anything that has been put in someon's letter box

a black and white design that reads "you could learn a lot from a lesbian." to the right of the text are various items such as carabiners, a boot, a lollipop, a hammer, a boot, an apple, a lighter, cherries, a bouquet of flowers, a butterfly wing, and many stars. the entire image is textured to be grainy.

happy #lesbianvisibilityweek!

It is clear that many cis people are not aware just how up to her neck Rowling is in funding and driving anti trans sentiment in the UK.

She's not just a person with a vile opinion.

THE REAL STORY HERE IS THAT INFLUENTIAL MEDIA BIGOTS SUCCESSFULLY TOPPLED EUROPE'S LARGEST LGBT CHARITY SPECIFICALLY B/C OF THE UK GOVTS TRANSPHOBIA ENABLING THEM TO DO SO.

They didnt go out with a bang nor a whimper. Instead they cling to the bigots who took them down hoping for a 2nd chance.

This is true

i'd also call your attention to how the guardian - ***nominally a liberal newspaper*** - frames this:

stonewall is struggling because it was 'uncompromising' on trans rights

not because the national media, guardian included, decided to hound a minority from public life

I've tried to say the same thing and fumbled around with it but all of this, yes. Simply knowing trans women invited me to build a relationship with my gender where none existed before. I found a way to *feel* like a woman instead of having just been *assigned* as one.

Today’s The Times Scotland front page with the top story “Cherry: SNP made me ashamed so I quit party”

Hey the Times, I quit a political party over trans issues and have a book to promote, can I have a front page spread?

Oh, that’s only reserved for transphobes and not trans people? Never mind.

from the article: “"She wasn't taking pictures in restricted areas. She wasn't trying to go places she shouldn't be," the source continued. "This is just a very large transgender woman, being a fan, walking around."” https://www.wired.com/story/madison-square-garden-jim-dolan-surveillance-machine/

glad that the (otherwise well reported) wired article about the dolans using facial recognition tech to track a trans woman in the garden to keep her off the MSG cameras included the extremely important detail that she was “very large.” you don’t want anyone forgetting she was monstrous to behold

THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN *SHOW* ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

Alligator Alcatraz phones were cut off. Then the beatings began, court docs say Attorneys say the Trump and DeSantis administrations are disregarding a court order requiring access to phones and attorneys for detainees.

April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.

Since 2012 the UK has treated all people with HIV, irrespective of nationality or immigration status.
Treatment prevents HIV transmission so it’s good for the health of all of us to have every person with HIV treated.
Farage’s policy would lead to more HIV cases and greater health costs.

they are. next question!

There's a belief/assumption that trans men want to be grouped with women in situations where it's perceived to benefit them such as sports or prison.

I think I'll make that the subject of my next newsletter.

Gay folks who claim asylum have to “out” themselves to bureaucrats who ask invasive and demeaning questions, face stigma from their broader communities, have to deal with abuse from people sharing their accommodation. The idea it’s “easy” to just pretend to be gay for asylum is breathtakingly false.

if an emergency room doctor finds out you're trans it's about a 50/50 shot they're going to blame your hormones for the problem without investigating the issue further.

Oh yeah. I'd absolutely never tell a random doctor at, say, an emergency room what my ASAB was.

"Straight people, are you okay? (The answer is always no.)"

Frankie's journalism is why I now care about (and actually know some things about!?) sports, and this piece on how the WNBA is a culturally lesbian space that's now being analysed and discussed though a heteronormative lens is excellent.

Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds The BBC exposes a shadow industry charging migrants thousands of pounds to help them cheat the asylum system.

This "investigation" is straight-up incitement against people seking asylum, especially LGBTQ+ people.

No acknowledgement that LGB asylum claims are LESS LIKELY to succeed than other claims. No acknowlegement that the dodgy lawyers are CLEARLY scamming their clients

I think what rattles me about a Labour MP doing something for TDOV is that it feels like someone telling me “youre so valid tho“ while i fear for the material loss of healthcare and human rights. Like fuck you shove your validity up your arse

It’s 2026 and we’re getting “ladies don’t wear trousers” sumptuary law courtesy of the Labour Party

like, there is no way of doing a catch-all phrase that actually gets to the answer you want. yeah whatever my assigned sex at birth WAS female, but i have a testosterone dominant system, i don't have boobs, and so on and so forth. actually ask the relevant questions
