Liz Truss fucked over trans people first. Don't forget that.
The public referendum this government called on our rights showed strong support for reform. How quickly they've turned to removal of long-standing rights--which they specifically promised wouldn't happen.
As a first-gen student, I've always known that other students with legacies in academia or family histories of college education have inherent advantages over me, but I don't think I've ever been able to see and understand that as clearly as today.
🧵/ Where does the British public stand on transgender rights in 2022?
The key finding from our third major study into trans attitudes is that support for trans access rights has eroded since 2018, a shift which has taken place across all social groups

@HeidiReinberg @rivbutcher The most impactful thing cishet people can do is materially entangle yourself with the queer community. Your queer friends: those are your family. People who can't get on board with being family with your queer friends are not your family.
Once again, The @Independent are the only mainstream British newspaper to even acknowledge London trans pride. I'm proud to have covered the protest for them for the past few years. But my heart is also heavy. We deserve better #LondonTransPride https://t.co/P2S5JUki4G
Looking back on my early 20s, so many of my life choices then were a trauma response for how I was treated for being neurodivergent without realising I was neurodivergent.
If 30,000 Terfs had marched through London yesterday, it would have been on every front page in Britain. And on the BBC.
30,000 trans and allies do march - literally nothing.
Trans people are the REAL ‘cancelled’ and ‘silenced’🤐
Approx 30k people turned up for Trans Pride in London on Saturday.
Mail on Sunday - Nothing
Sunday Telegraph - Nothing
Observer/Guardian - Nothing
Sunday Mirror - Nothing
The BBC - Nothing
ITV - Nothing
Sky - Nothing
This is what silencing really looks like.
Something missing from "the trans debate" right now: a lot of trans kids are actively discouraged from transition. I was put through conversion therapy, punished, stripped of privacy, abused, bullied, and shamed by everyone from parents to teachers and peers. I'm still trans.
i wish people would understand that transitioning from female to male doesn't equate to a slaying of women or the killing of a woman's body. that body doesn't belong to you, it belongs to him, so why do you cry for justice without injustice?
@darrenhayes Coming out in rural Canada, Secret Codes & Battleships hooked me on your music & helped me get through (and the 10 years since). I hoped for a tour one day but respected doing what was best for you. Burst into tears when I saw the news! See you in London (with @helenjwrites) 🥰
So basically I went to help a friend recover from surgery and then accidentally got a repair op (!!!!!!!) and a rescue cat (!!!!!!!) who will absolutely keep my chaotic life chaotic for like 20 more years.
And I'm back to being offline bc big mental health gains lately!
