The Vagina Museum is just one month away from closing. Forever. A perfect storm of circumstances means that we may have to close our doors permanently and cease all digital activities. But we're not going to go down without a fight. Save the Vagina Museum. www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2
I feel like the number one thing that tax is for is helping disabled people live. What other possible thing could society need to do more than ensuring those who can't survive without help get the help they need? It's more fundamental even than roads. Helping each other is literally what society is
Like literally paid jobs. They get to work in hospitals and dignify themselves as "clinicians" in the field of cooking up reasons why you don't deserve autonomy in your own body, in your future, in how your identity comes to form a personal meaning to you.
And their whole job is persecuting you.
Tomorrow ⬇⬇⬇
Today and in the coming days, remember
listening to the worst set I've ever heard
Men turning up before dawn to harass the trans kids deserve better crowd. If you're near Ilford get down there please.

incredible piece from the legends at Trans Kids Deserve Better on stunning action outside Wes Streeting’s constituency office yesterday.
so much of the coverage of the puberty blocker ban has spoken for or over trans kids - now hear directly from them:
www.huckmag.com/article/we-a...
puberty blockers are and always were a half measure we allowed kids to be subjected to in order to satiate the anxieties of cis people.
they are not ideal. they kinda suck in fact. we should fight for them but also kids... just fuckin' transition. Its p easy to buy E and T - ask your local tran.
The occupation has now ended, but the space we created for grief and love brought light in this terrifying moment. We showed Streeting that we will not stop fighting despite the horrific treatment we receive from him and his government. Wes Streeting refused to show his face at his offices this morning, and refused to face the community he is doing his best (and failing) to destroy. He saw us standing in community in our grief and he treated it as a threat, as the government and media continually do. Because in reality, we are so powerful together, and we will keep living and thriving and fighting out of love, and out of spite. And that makes them afraid. Trans kids deserve healthcare, dignity, and to be treated like human beings. We will fight for that until we have the future we need, and deserve. Trans kids deserve better
🚨 Statement from Trans Kids Deserve Better on their action - occupying Wes Streeting's constituency office - which ended this morning.
I am shaking with rage. Seeing this revealed at the same time Streeting announces even further harm to trans kids. It's evil.
I've had the pleasure of working with 2 queer news organisations this year: @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com, both do incredible work in journalism and community support.
There are LGBTQIA+ people on the ground, reporting news against a wave of institutionalised hatred, please support them
As an aside, if you want a lesbian book by a transfem author, leave your genre/tone/etc preferences in the replies. I'll likely be able to rec you something, or tag in someone who can. No judgement: if you want darker, more taboo books, ask for them.
Did you know that there was a famous trans athlete in the 70's? Renée Richards transitioned and played tennis until she was outed by Tucker Carlson's father. They instituted a ban, she sued and won, and continued playing for years after. She later coached transphobic tennis star Martina Navratilova.
Even before media transphobia and culture war politics, things started to go backwards in 2010 after the election. The Charing+ stakeholder group rescinded the membership of me and several other campaigning advocates almost at once.
I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
Trans rights activists -- including Chelsea Manning -- are staging a protest in a women's bathroom in the Cannon building (a House building) next to Speaker Johnson's office.
"Trans rights are under attack! What do we do? Act up! Fight back!"
Security mistakes by the united healthcare assasin:
- Not wrapping up warm enough(no gloves!)
- Not taking a packed lunch(caught on starbucks CCTV)
- Not picking up after himself(possible sweet wrappers/water bottle left in the alley).
So glad she had a long and happy life. The ultimate fuck you to the Nazis who tried to wipe us out. Legend
