[Trans Actual @TransActualUK]

Let’s get one thing clear. 64% of trans kids are bullied for being trans at school. People don’t come out as trans because it’s “trendy”. It’s not trendy. It’s hard. Trans people face discrimination, harassment and identity denial. Nobody would choose to be trans.

[Dr Cal Horton @FierceMum]

Another day another pathologising, outdated, offensive journal article on trans youth from GIDS. They can't even get basic terminology right. They continue to cite anti trans work. They misgender our kids throughout. The study premise is not aimed at helping our kids. Shameful.

@ViologicalWoman I'm very sorry to see that, Violet. That's really awful and I hope you're okay.

I also received your email about this matter today and planned to take care of it this evening after work.

The more people that support broader, more diverse education, the better. You don't have to be LGBTQIA+ to want to support initiatives like this – allies should want this too!

#HopeForLGBTequality

[Trans Actual @TransActualUK]

Write to your local authority and let them know why LGBT inclusive education is so important. And be sure to tell them why trans inclusion is important too.
Our #hopeforLGBTequality is for all trans children and young people to be well supported at school.

This is what censorship actually looks like. It's not when people complain about your art on Twitter. It's when the government comes in to take your books

[Shapeshifter Radio @shapeshifterire]

@derekhandley: sounds like the conversation you had with a certain CHWM this week about you "being too political"!

[Shapeshifter Radio @shapeshifterire]

This is brilliant news! Very excited about this new podcast.

[Shapeshifter Radio @shapeshifterire]

Finally got the laptop back! Back to editing and recording at last. I've missed it!

(The podcast. Not the laptop. Missing the laptop would be strange)

[Shapeshifter Radio @shapeshifterire]

Well worth a read (from the brilliant @FierceMum and @DadTrans):

Well said:

[Will St Leger @WillStLeger]

From today people in #Germany who are vulnerable to getting HIV can get #PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) for free, covered by the statutory health insurance. In Ireland, we're 4 years into a #HIV crisis. The Irish Govt continue to drag their heels on providing PrEP #PrepIstDa

[Shapeshifter Radio @shapeshifterire]

Safe streets should indeed be a right for all... I might go further and say they should be a given!

[UN Free & Equal @free_equal]

With fatal transphobic violence on the rise, many trans people don’t feel safe when they’re out in public. RT if you agree that safe streets should be a right for all, not a privilege for some!

Took a step back from social media for a while; now back! It's good to do that every so often. And hoping to get my laptop back this week so we can get back to posting episodes! We've two great interviews awaiting final edits.

[Shapeshifter Radio @shapeshifterire]

@CateSpice What a toxic, horrible person to make threats like that. It's vile. Sorry you ever have to deal with anything like that.
