If Sadiq Khan is a trans ally, why is he allowing JK Rowling’s Harry Potter to take over the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus? Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f

Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

This is a funny 9/11 memory
Screenshot of a set of tweets from @eskayOW on 9/11/2023

The first is a pic of a blue and yellow plushie in an airplane cockpit and a caption saying "I don't know if I trust this pilot"

And a follow up tweet saying "I DIDN'T REALIZE IT'S 9/11 IM SORRY"

Let’s focus on the real threats, which we see around us, every day, online and offline. Let trans+ people live their lives safely, peacefully and joyfully. We have work to do elsewhere
"A change of narrative because trans women are not a threat to cis women. In turn that should allow trans people to live their lives without fear, something every person deserves."

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

When someone says they're acting “for women”, it's worth asking: which women? More than 100K women have signed our letter saying that excluding trans+ people isn't being done in our name. People need to hear what women are actually saying. ✍️ Add your voice, sign our letter: notinourname.org.uk
“I hope that politicians, decision-makers, and the wider public will get to see that transphobia is NOT ‘in the name of women’ – as the majority oppose it.”

Cis allies; brilliant time to wear a trans flag pin, badge, T-shirt, anything that implies you might be trans to weird creepy bigots. If you get hassled, don’t say that you’re not trans, please; simply state the truth, e.g. “I’m a woman and I am just trying to pee in private and in peace”.
