Back on that CBT thing again for a bit (not c*ck & b*ll t*rture but sometimes I wonder if that would do me more good?)

NO KIDS ARE HAVING “TRANS” SURGERY I’d hope that anyone I follow or who follows me would know that, but I’ve been disappointed by people I’d always thought of as allies actually saying stuff like this.

Perhaps I do watch too many emergency and surgical documentaries but I’m learning new regional words like “pot” and “scrage”.

Dolly Parton came to Malmö Arena during the Backwoods Barbie tour in 2008. It was a windy evening and the sound apparently suffered but all I saw and heard was how amazing she was 😍

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has gifted over 150 million books (yes, 150 million) around the world. This is what goodness looks like. She ALSO brought us Buffy. She ALSO funded the Covid vaccine. She ALSO wrote “Jolene”. The most remarkable person. donate.imaginationlibrary.com

Remember folks, if a transphobe questions your gender in a restroom, that's sexual harrassment. If they deliberately touch you in any way that's assault. Both are threatening behaviours. This applies to everyone (not just trans + people).

Too often, the public conversation gives the impression that one narrow viewpoint speaks for all women. It doesn't. Over 100,000 UK women have already signed our letter because they believe in fairness, inclusion and treating trans+ people with kindness, compassion, and inclusively. Join us.
“The majority of women are trans-inclusive, or are happy just living their lives alongside trans people without any concern. However, we are being ignored – by politicians and the media – in preference to a small, loud, group of ‘gender critical’ anti-trans lobbyists masquerading as ‘feminists’.”

I’m seeing lots of positive posts and articles about Wirral Pride tomorrow which is lovely but most seem to avoid saying “LGBTQ” or “queer” or “trans”… It’s not bad, it’s all PRIDE and INCLUSIVE and RAINBOW but also a bit 🤫 don’t say *gay*

A favourite music genre of mine is *crying while dancing* which is pretty much every other 1960s Motown recording, but this one sums it up perfectly, it's The Miracles' "I Gotta Dance to Keep from Crying" from 1963 (a Holland-Dozier-Holland number). youtu.be/t74U_DxYeFs?...

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

My look today is inadvertently Robin Williams in the Birdcage although my chest isn’t as hairy and my moustache is mere bum fluff in comparison, but it’s a good look!
A still of Robin Williams from the film Birdcage. He is wearing a white vest and a floral shirt with black trousers and a white belt, he has one hand under his chin and is smiling while standing in front of a nude Greek statue that we only see the back of. Robin’s moustache is tremendous. A cropped selfie of me where you can see my torso - I’m wearing a light grey vest and very floral shirt, plus a chest tattoo of a light purple lotus

The eventual outcome of a Tory PM supporting gender self-ID in 2017 is a Labour government in 2026 enthusiastically presiding over the introduction of the most transphobic legal framework in the western world - without any debate or vote in Parliament For Labour, a moral stain worse than Section 28
