a trans guy i know personally & can vouch for, who’s finally found housing and started a degree after years of homelessness, is at risk of being kicked out if he doesn’t pay off $350 of meal plan debt by 9/20. his therapist etc are dragging their feet www.paypal.com/paypalme/srlj2

the corollary of "cisness and heterosexualism are often an imposition upon complex embodiments" and "practices of transsexuality exist in modes of renegotiating and reshaping the act of sexing the body" is that "everyone is at least a little bit gender nonconforming"

fiery take is that nobody "conforms to" gender they are constantly arguing with and against its norms

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.

With whats happened in Wales we really are now at the point where the moral panic can shut down transition care full stop cause of the “scandal” that transition happens, at all.

every1 discusses jane's project being one of trans film but i think more abstractly jane's project is universalizing experiences keyed socially to transness to position cisness as a particular deviation in how its own closure makes it unable to allow itself to be honest w/ itself

If you've ignored this petition because of the Good Law Project's earlier unwise intervention on the Arday case, do think again. This is backing a very well-written open letter on the racism that led to Jason's death, and has rightly gained major media traction. Worth adding your name.

I didn't say it at the time but fwiw my worries here about how Arday had been punished enough so we should leave him alone were because my dad was predicting then that Arday might end up killing himself, given the media firestorm. This was foreseeable and foreseen.

tbh a number of nonbinary people who were "assigned male at birth" sometimes also position/align themselves within the trans woman umbrella precisely because of how transfeminization is totalizing and there is no other alternative really to talk about the misogyny you experience

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion practices in Britain has to confront the fact that the NHS never stopped doing it. This draft bill not only fails, it explicitly gives “healthcare providers” permission to continue.

You will recall, less than a year ago, British police were instructed to disclose the ethnicity of suspects of crime as an explicit sop to the far-right after their last attempt to gin up pogroms. Our then-Home Secretary, now Foreign Secretary, lauded the move. Do we think this helped.

Reading excerpts from yet another book discussing how transition positions "biomedical intervention as necessary" and makes trans people "cathect hope on a for-profit medical industry" and I am done. I am fucking done. This is fucking out of touch with reality and yet rife in trans scholarship.

Yesterday, the long-awaited EHRC Code of Practice relating to women-only spaces was finally made public.

Kemi Badenoch once again expressed her support for our clients the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle, writing that "it's time the NHS stopped listening to Stonewall and started listening to the Supreme Court."
