‘You look like spring.’ ‘Goth MILF’ ‘Whore of Babylon.’ ‘Are you a goth?’ ‘Nice boobies.’ ‘Useless cunt.’ ‘A beautiful woman.’ Not my words: the words of the general public. Colleagues: I will not post about you. My employer shares none of my views.

On the t-shirt from which the BBC had to protect its viewers’ eyeballs, I would sooner we demand better pay and access to healthcare than allow our allies to feel pleased about their own goodness at zero cost. I know ‘protect the dolls’ was coined by a trans woman, but protection is insufficient.

But yeah, anyway, it is extremely telling that it is a political statement to say that trans women deserve protection as much as everyone else or that black lives matter. These are political statements insofar as the value of some people's lives is contested. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

Ok but I’m currently all sweaty and disgusting after a 13k run and a doll in this community cafe has just called me hun. Seems to me that we do usually acknowledge one another.

came over to speak to me. She was full of apologies, and hoped I could forgive her. And so the whole thing ended with me having to comfort this lawyer, reassure her that I understood she was doing her job, and generally put aside my own feelings so I could prioritise hers.

major line of questioning was that because I had followed him for some twenty feet or so as I asked him why he was shouting slurs at me I was, in fact, the aggressor.

On Trans Day of Visibility 2025, a man approached me in the street at approximately 8am and started hurling slurs at me. I asked him why he was saying this and he switched to a new slur. I again asked him why he was saying this. This continued for approximately ninety seconds, before he sprinted

Your regular reminder that my daughter Alice’s death wasn’t counted in Appleby’s report, despite her meeting all the criteria. And when I emailed the Tavistock adult GIC to inform them they could take Alice off the waitlist, because she’d died by suicide, they never replied. It’s a disgrace.

Walked along a quiet side street earlier, and passed another trans woman. I only realised she was trans from her voice. She either didn’t clock me or had a phenomenal poker face. Can we all start carrying Blåhajes at all times or something please? Because that is an intolerable scenario.

Anine is one of the people who worked to expose the research misconduct against trans people at Oslo University Hospital. Yesterday, she was told she is no longer on their waitlist to receive gender-affirming care. This is so obviously retaliatory, it's hard to put into words!

We do actually know the answer to this, at least as regards the transphobia. Unimaginable resources would be summoned out of thin air to defend and promote this hypothetical colleague, and tens of thousands of pounds would be found for them to have a little treat.

I walked through a busy city centre without anyone finding me at all remarkable, even groups of builder men and whatnot. Result. Then I’m stood in a cafe waiting for my coffee and there’s this 50yo man just full on staring. What gives? I think. Ah yes. I used my voice to order. I must remain silent.

I read this as sitting within the wider Lynchian project, which constructs post-war Americana as offering a nice, pleasant facade which is eagerly accepted, but which always fails to effectively conceal the very obvious and overt evil sitting at the heart of that same Americana.

Because the flow of time itself is convoluted, I had mistakenly believed I had started transitioning in the summer of 2020, but not told anyone at work until the start of 2022. In fact it turns out that I had changed my name on student-facing comms by October 2020. This is genuinely news to me.

Myself and @sandraduffy.bsky.social are looking for people to come talk at the @slsauk.bsky.social annual conference in April. We want people to come and discuss what we're describing as trans/gender legal histories. Please get in touch if you have ideas you'd like to explore. www.slsa.ac.uk/streams
Trans/Gender Legal Histories

We are looking for papers that take a socio-legal approach to legal gender history, asking not only what the law was but also how the law was informed by and informed social life, including but not limited to activist work. We are looking for papers exploring legal histories of gender and of transness, and this can encompass for example both histories of trans law, and gender history written through a transfeminist lens. Transfeminist histories are particularly welcome, but we do not understand transfeminism as being restricted to the transfeminine. We understand transfeminist legal history as any legal historical work which operates via a method sitting at the intersection between trans studies and feminism. We also understand transfeminism as existing in a fundamentally intersectional mode, and so would welcome intersectional trans and gender histories, including papers exploring intersections with questions of race, disability, and so on. We would also welcome papers exploring trans futurities in law as read through legal history. We are keen to use this space to support underrepresented scholarly communities, including junior scholars, doctoral students, and those experiencing precarity.

I am sat in a cafe, reading a classic trans text (I will not tell you what), and the author is so painfully dense. Meanwhile I have a young and incredibly stupid man loudly bloviating at his laptop on the next table, his voice projecting directly towards my head. My brain feels quite bad right now.

And how what I’m basically describing is what I assume to be the experience of being a burnt out wizard.

Are you: - a trans woman or a non-binary person with a prostate? - aged 40+? - on oestrogen and/or post-op for bottom surgery? - based in the UK? The TransPRIDE study invites you to participate in research to inform better trans-inclusive prostate care! transpridestudy.org.uk
Recruitment poster with text that reads as follows. Trans or non-binary?
Join us in research led by and for trans people to improve our healthcare. 

TransPRIDE (Trans & non-binary Prostate specific antigen Reference Interval
DEtermination) is a research study to help find the normal levels of the PSA blood test in trans women and non-binary people with prostates.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a blood test that helps detect prostate
problems including cancer.

It is lowered by gender-affirming hormones and surgeries but we do not
know the expected normal levels for trans women and non-binary people.

Knowing the normal PSA blood test level will help doctors to find and treat prostate cancer more quickly in this population.

We are looking for 500 trans women and non-binary people aged 40+ who have been on feminising hormone therapy for at least 3 months, and/or had any kind of bottom surgery, to take part.

Participation involves a blood test for PSA and hormone levels, and short
questionnaires.

Blood test results will be returned, and participants are given a £25 gift
voucher for their time.

Which is to say that I understand the fear that stops people socially transitioning (decades in my case), but that yes it is hard to know very much practically about this life until you’re actually living it.

Personally I was out there doing social transition for years before hormones (because I am stupid and was joining an orderly queue). It still annoys me how embedded ‘HRT start’ is as the official transition start date for many of us. I feel I was more out for those years than someone only doing HRT.

I still think that the best way to think about it is as a withdrawal of the law’s protection. You may live your life without bother, but the second law intersects with that life you’re in trouble.
