Happily bland trans woman. My life is mostly soup, sewing, writing, and supporting the people that I cherish (she/her)

Leaving the UK with a heavy heart
Today, as a family, we have booked our flights and our one-way ticket out of the UK. This has not felt like a choice. This feels like fleeing to protect ourselves. For the past 7 years we have look…

I'm not gonna quote post that estrangement article doing the rounds cos I ain't giving them the metrics but part of being in queer community is knowing a lot of people who are estranged from family. None of them broke contact for trivial reasons.

It's tragic how often empathetic, well-meaning people will still outright defend the kinds of people that will lay into them when they're in personal, ruinous, self-sacrificing debt to fund a venue. They end up isolated and things collapse because everyone else leaves for self-protection

In the exact fashion of the kind of people I meant, there's now the scolding narrative that this was all engineered by a bigot. The bar's statement since is entirely in keeping with people that got a mediator rather than telling abusive people to go away early enough

I maintain my strong belief that “white feminism” in Britain is a fucking massive problem that continues to be ignored because I continue to see white British women who should know better uphold these other white women as some sort of ‘feminist icons’ and ignore their outright bigotry.

My experiences with this kind of person in the 2010s killed my desire for most organising. They seemed to thrive on the fact that the people actually doing practical, real-world things to make a difference are also often very open-hearted and overly-patient to the point of vulnerability

Being in a chat with my girlfriends was a mistake. Now they're making software dev jokes. Have to re-separate them because my humanities brain can't take this

Oh no, now I don't know if I do this and just never thought to change it. Is it when you politely smile and tilt your head a tiny fraction to the side? Because I've always done that and I never thought to question it ahhhh

The sound of rain used to just be relaxing. Now it keeps pulling me into the memory of (very nervously) telling an amazing woman that I love her too while drops pattered on the trees around us. Looking into her eyes. Holding her close. And just being together

For many, today is the last weekend before school restarts. Sorting uniform, finding books, preparing to be reunited with friends. For my kid, who won't be returning to school, it is a time of huge uncertainty. We don't yet have a clear path forward. English schools are no longer a viable option.

Something that’s struck me recently is how easy it is to conflate “bravely speaking the truth” with “cruelty and enjoying joining the mob”, and while for most people on here today to see through the fascist concept of “ruinous empathy,” that doesn’t stop you worshiping cruelty under another name.

Very new me, but I'm really pleased with how this turned out! Even if these are after I managed to melt my makeup off. Sharing them because I'm sick of not using social media to be social and want to mark the things that make me happy
Closer, brighter selfie under partial blacklight. A woman is wearing a bisexual flag themed floral crown. Small pink painted hearts are on (annoyingly) barely visible on her cheek, and bright UV-reactive hearts and star patterns decorate her chest. She is wearing a neon pink fishnet hooded micro crop top, a matching lace bra, and a clear zippered pvc corset with turquoise fishnets visible underneath.Selfie of a woman illuminated by blacklight wearing a bright, reactive neon pink fishnet crop top over a pink lace bra; a clear pvc corset; and a (sadly non-reactive) skirt. UV-reactive hearts and temporary tattoos are on her upper chest.

Going to a uv/neon themed pride party tomorrow and my partner's reaction to my outfit is adorable. To be fair, neon pink micro crop, bra, skirt, fishnets, clear pvc underbust corset, and lots of uv reactive body paint is not something people would ever expect me to wear

Friend said that my partner is like "a teaching assistant that chats with you and swears" whereas I'm "like the strict teacher that you realise is really sound and very helpful after a while". I'm not sure if I should feel insulted or complimented.

This is an incredible read, but the point about numbers stays with me too. In the early 2000s, local institutions said they'd never dealt with a trans kid before. One estimated that there were 5 to 10 trans people in an area of 300,000. I cried when the last census said there were ~1000 of us here

This captures why I absolutely can't stand the current UK Supreme Court's shift into absurdly rigid textualism and a version of the mirror principle that leads to viciously narrow readings of the ECHR. For a while, there was at least some awareness that judgments don't exist in a conceptual bubble

The EU law principle of equality means that none of this shit could happen. If there was an indication that the justification used to exclude trans people from positive action would affect other rights, the courts, including the Supreme Court, would have to refer it to the ECJ.

Can't wait to read it to see whether this continues the pattern of heinous people being protected because they have the funding and social status to put a sufficiently disingenuous, middle-class veneer on their actual beliefs

Even acknowledging that it can be legally justifiable to retain data in some areas (e.g. R (on the app of C) v SoS for Work and Pensions), the approach the NHS is taking here feels like such a bizarre unreality

Others have said this but this is the exact same argument around trans healthcare right now - some people (Hilary Cass) saying that you can't prove that affirmation doesn't cause trans people to continue to be trans and therefore we should try conversion therapy on kids

My main thing I've learned from being a feminist since I was a teen is that feminism isn't intuited by people who are negatively affected by sexism, it's hard worked through critical thought about the experience of sexism, and most people just refuse to learn that and default to prejudices about it.

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if this might be just to maintain the illusion of some balance. I've been so disappointed by a few UK consti academics because they've made their personal politics quite obvious in this area and leaned on the scales (e.g. M Elliott)

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

Cynically, I think Burnham's Cabinet is going to be functionally more transphobic than Starmer's. Burnham has portrayed himself as an antidote to Starmer's 'boy's club' and, sadly, I think that will mean more bigoted members of the Women’s Parliamentary Labour Party wielding greater influence
