I got referred to as 'non traditional' and diverted to the 'non traditional cards' twice today whilst shopping for Valentine's Day. I didn't disclose anything about my identity. Assigned fruity by the florist. 🤔💐#valentinesgay #transman

When was the first time you saw yourself represented in media? Myself and the @unibirmingham's student EDI team are excited to hear your stories ahead of our Representation Matters event on 22nd February! #diversity #RepresentationMatters #NowYouSeeMe

@_redwritinghood Amazing! It would be great to have a chat to you about the role, I would love to hear about some of your ideas and highlights from last year for inspiration!

@SamJGrudgings @vividinktattoo Thank you so much! I am so glad you like it. Your poem was something that really stuck with me during a tough time. 💙

In closets you locked us in
We grew from cruel soil.'

@tahaniimyra Thank you! 😊

Every day women are abused online. It is incredibly worrying to hear that X may be removing the block feature, which, for many women and girls, provides vital protection. Whatever replaces it must be a step forward for online safety, not a step back. https://t.co/vczTqDdDJ4

I did it! £590 raised for @RefugeCharity by participating in the @RunThroughUK Solihull 10K!

Thank you everyone who donated for all your support. 💗

Was reminded that in 2011 my special interest was traffic cones. The fact that I didn’t get diagnosed as autistic until I was 26 is remarkable. #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity

[Clem Atkins ✏️🏳️‍⚧️🌈 @_ClemAtkins]

Only one month to go until I complete my 10k run with @RunThroughUK to support @RefugeCharity!

There's still time to donate on my @JustGiving page below. Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far! 💗#JustGiving

I've completed the @FutureLearn course 'Freedom of Movement, Refugees,...'!

Interesting content scrutinizing the permissive language in protocols against trafficking and smuggling - seemingly more concerned with sovereignty than human rights!

At least spotting myself in a crowd is pretty easy when I'm a foot shorter than everyone else.😂⚔️ #reenactment

Last month I was invited to come to the hospital dressed as a Twi’lek, met some Storm Troopers and we accompanied a brave young Star Wars fan to his final radiotherapy appointment. Thank you @UHBCharity for all your organisational work.🎗️#NHS

@Esqueer_ Technology often has a habit of breaking around me. My partner is convinced that me finally joining Twitter has triggered the demise (/Elon Musk's assasination) of Twitter...☠️
