Fucking *love* that something that happened to me over a decade ago is still causing me to wake up from nightmares in a state of panic terror 🙃✌️ /s The most frustrating part is, I doubt the person who did it to me even remembers.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Out for Independence @outforindy.bsky.social · 14/03/2026
🚨 STATEMENT 🚨 Please read Out for Independence's statement on the recent changes to the Hate Crime and Public Order Act.
Out for Independence are deeply concerned about the recent addition of the language of 'biological sex' to the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 by means of a Scottish Statutory Instrument, and the dangerous precedent that this sets. The wording was used in the recent Supreme Court ruling in a way that appeared to undermine the rights of trans people. That definition of sex was never designed to be used in the context of hate crime legislation, and in this context it potentially muddles the Act’s existing provisions against hate crimes based on sexual orientation.

Consequently, we fail to understand the reasoning behind the importing of the language of the Supreme Court ruling into Scots law. This makes Scotland the first country in the UK to have defined sex in this way in any piece of legislation, which flies in the face of the Scottish Government’s commitments to inclusion. While the Scottish Government may have committed for now to always considering the issue of how to define sex in the law and policy on a case-by-case basis, this decision will only needlessly strain its credibility with LGBTQIA+ Scots. 

We wholeheartedly agree with taking steps against misogyny, and as such we remind our party that the Working Group on Misogyny and Criminal Justice recommended that this should be done via a dedicated bill and explicitly advised against amending the Hate Crime and Public Order Act as this would not adequately protect women. The 2021 SNP Manifesto pledged to ‘act swiftly’ on the Working Group’s advice. 

We understand this action was not taken due to lack of parliamentary time, and therefore we expect that, should our party form government again after May’s election, it will go forward with a full Misogyny Bill which properly protects all women and annuls this SSI.

Idk what to put here, but as a transwoman who has no intention of going to prison, this still terrifies me. Knowing that, if I'm ever jailed I'll be at a higher risk of SA and death by suicide than a cis person, makes me feel unsafe as a citizen. Everyone, incl. prisoners, deserveS human rights.

Wall-to-wall discourse around sexual violence is pretty unbearable, and I say that as someone who reports on discourse about sexual violence. For anyone who needs to hear this, it is okay to take a break. It is okay to stop scrolling or to not be able to come up with something to say right now.

The prospect of seeking medical help for gender dysphoria-related depression and anxiety is terrifying. What if the person doesn't understand gender dysphoria, or is an outright transphobe? What if you're admitted as an inpatient and you're forced to share facilities with the wrong gender?

Being trans while living in an environment where you can't transition feels like Covid. You know what you want to be doing with your life. You have dreams of it every night. But you can't realise those dreams. Sometimes you get breaks where you can be yourself, but you always know lockdown awaits.

I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

When trans people express dismay that society and our families hate us on such a deep level, the usual gaslighting kneejerk is to tell us we must be exaggerating for dramatic effect. Wretchedly, this (awful, unnecessary) poll disproves that line of argument very neatly. I WISH we were exaggerating.

How many pieces came out in the New York Times and the Atlantic accusing trans people of erasing the word woman. Here's the Trump administration literally banning the use of the word and not a peep.
A document page with the header "Case 2:25-cv-00781-RSM Document 135-1 Filed 12/05/25 Page 36 of 36." The page contains a bulleted list of words in red text, which appear to be terms related to identity and social issues. The list includes: sexuality, social justice, sociocultural, socioeconomic, status, stereotype, stereotypes, systemic, systemically, they/them, trans, transgender, transsexual, trauma, traumatic, tribal, unconscious bias, underappreciated, underprivileged, underrepresentation, underrepresented, underserved, undervalued, victim, victims, vulnerable populations, women, and women and underrepresented. The word "women" near the bottom is highlighted with a yellow underline.

🚨 STATEMENT 🚨 Please read Out for Independence's statement on the Employment Tribunal ruling in the Sandie Peggie v Fife Health Board case. ✌️
An Out for Independence statement reading: 
"Out for Independence notes that, in today’s ruling in Sandie Peggie v Fife Health Board, the Employment Tribunal dismissed all the claims of discrimination on the grounds of sex or sexual harassment that had been made against the Board or Dr Beth Upton.
We also note that, not long after a similar decision in BM Kelly v Leonardo UK Ltd, the Tribunal concluded that the Supreme Court’s decision in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers does not mean that the Equality Act 2010 requires exclusion of transgender women from changing rooms.
We hope that future policies on inclusion will reflect the law and not be made in a rushed or kneejerk manner.
We also hope those politicians who tried to use this Tribunal to chase headlines by rushing to judgement over this case before the evidence had been heard will reflect on their actions. All those seeking justice, regardless of their views, deserve better."
