Brilliant talk on “doomscrolling in a vortex of anti trans content” on trans youth social media use from @drews.bsky.social as part of the Create/Connect Trans & Queer Youth Creativity Community & Resilience Symposium. Similar ideas coming out of our (@paulreilly.bsky.social & Judas) work in Ireland

For my friend’s birthday I’ve made her a doll of her favourite coffee guy @jameshoffmann.bsky.social

A crocheted doll in jeans and a knitted jumper with orange rimmed glasses and a grey bouffant, holding a little crocheted cup of coffee. Doll is sat in a V60 next to an aeropress and moka pot.

"Galop, a charity combatting anti-LGBTQ+ abuse, said they had not been able to place any trans women into a refuge for domestic abuse in 2026, despite receiving more than 240 referrals." If only once-inclusive WA & Refuge had pushed back instead of just hoping "GC" attacks on them would blow over.😕

Fascism can’t succeed without centrism, because far fewer people will admit to being a fascist than will endorse its policies — especially when they’re allowed to do so with the barest minimum necessary plausible deniability.

Like most prohibition type rules this will end up backfiring in ways that get ever more dumb – not least that because teens aren't supposed to be on the network now, and only circumvent it via third-party tools, Australia can't hold social media companies responsible for harms they face on there.

Started watching How to get to heaven from Belfast thinking it looked fun without realising that, beyond being a murder mystery, it’s about women exactly my age having a midlife crisis. I have taken a huge hit of psychic damage, I am not ready to have midlife crisis media aimed at me.

An interesting thing to witness is the mass realisation of Sedgwick’s critique of a hermeneutics of suspicion, that, unlike on crime dramas, the public uncovering of damning evidence does not smoothly lead to justice, and often serves to further terrorise with the accompanying sense of powerlessness

See my thesis for research evidence of why a social media ban would be terrible for LGBTQIA youth. TLDR- when you belong to a geographically dispersed minority that your family don’t belong to, might even be hostile to- social media is likely your only lifeline for identity work and community.

Brianna Ghey was targeted by classmates who knew her offline. Online, she made friends and a community, and was making content to help other trans kids like her. This is a grieving mother pushing for legislation that would have further isolated her trans child, that is supported by transphobes.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

The TLDR of the Streeting review is your quality of life doesn't matter so long as you are contributing to the economy and employment stats - which will exacerbate most MH conditions and increase suicide rates, which they don't care about either because the economy, stupid.

Trying very hard to link transness with dangerous criminality is disgusting, but so is the following implication that only sane, well-behaved people should be allowed to transition, if any.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!" You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

The way people talk about neurodivergent folk and trans folk is getting more alike by the day. No wonder we tend to stand up for each other. It's the same fatuous arguments made without input from those affected. This is just the social contagion lie. It's interchangeable.
