MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It makes me really fucking sad, hey. I have lived a lot of life. I’ve performed hip hop naked to soldout audiences. I’ve overseen global corporate strategy rollouts on a colossal scale. Made more art than most people can imagine. But, in some ways, I’ve barely lived at all. I’ve simply survived. 000
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’m good at a lot of things. Way more things than any average person. But, that’s largely been a combination of a freak mutation that helps me assimilate info/skills more quickly - and because my survival has been dependent on being able to do lots of things. I didn’t really choose any of them. 100
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I realised recently that my life has been so profoundly shattered by trauma as to have made any sustained skill, vocation or career development almost impossible outside of any developed as part of basic survival. That’s a brutal realisation. Tricky to explain to people, too. 120
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’d maintain there is a sustainability silver bullet for things like this but it unfortunately involves restructuring the entirety of society in pursuit of widely distributed wellbeing. Which I suppose is less of a silver bullet and more of a silver atomic bomb 🤔 So, fair call, Sam Bergman. 000

Reposted by MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️Ketan Joshi @ketanjoshi.co · 06/10/2026Something worth adding is demand is political and social and malleable A car company wants to build an electric SUV and have you drive it, rather than have you take public transport. I love renewable energy + see it as precious + want it used to make my life safer, not to serve that company's ends 26518

MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026A breakdown of all the series announced or extended by DC Comics and their creatives. Of 37 series, only four of them have no cisdudes as key creatives. By contrast, 20 have all-cisdude key creative teams. It’s fucking slack. 000
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In The Last 12 Months, DC Comics Series Announcements Have Highlighted: 55 Cisgender Male Creatives 14 Women/Trans/Non-Binary Creatives Or, to put it elseways: Across the 37 comic series announced/extended by DC Comics in the past year, 80% of them were partly or wholly led by cisgender dudes. 100
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Very well said. This is something somebody once told me about multinationals - the difficulty in operating in different cultures with relative moral consistency, despite differing definitions of what that looks like. 010
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Like, you drag the game out forever when you know that the bullies outside are going to kick your arse after the game. You don’t drag it out just because you’re going to lose. You know? 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Firstly, thank you for that analysis, that was fucking awesome. Secondly, laid out like that, my brain suggests there must logically be consequences for Man City not being able to do its financial flimflammery that are more severe and feared than the actual penalties for being caught doing it. 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s a fascinating approach. As a football follower (which I am not), what do you think of the likelihood that Man City’s practices are not wildly dissimilar to that of other clubs but they happen to have been caught? It’s one of the few things that would explain a posting through it defence, to me. 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I just read up on this. It’s fascinating for anyone to think a corporation being found guilty of nearly 115 fuckups at once by an independent panel is in any way not rooted. You can technically get up after being kicked in the crotch 115 times but that doesn’t really mean the fight is still going. 100

MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Notably, they genuinely do not care if this is prevented by a child being dissuaded from living as themselves into adulthood or if this is prevented by the death of the child. These policies are premised on ‘better a dead child than a trans adult’. 030
Reposted by MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️alison evans @alisonevans.bsky.social · 02/10/2026it was never about protecting cis children or whatever it has always been about making sure trans kids do not turn into trans adults 0241

MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So, Football Queensland’s Girls United Social Sessions is emphatically NOT “for girls and women of all ages and all bodies” - Football Queensland is so scared of trans women participating, they don’t even want to say the word transgender. They can’t even match the AFL’s basic commitment. 100
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026As an aside, here’s an academic review of 52 studies that finds no evidence that trans women have any inherent athletic advantage. bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3... 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You might think ‘‘well, I’m sure that’s every sporting code”. Well, here’s AFL policy that says trans women and trans men and non-binary people can play community AFL as their gender as long as they don’t take performance-enhancing drugs. resources.afl.com.au/afl/document... 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In contrast to every other dispensation form used by Football Queensland, the Gender Dispensation form is not accessible via their website — the link only leads to the policy. Even if a trans woman were inclined to ask permission every year to be a woman to play with Girls United, she couldn’t. 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026footballqueensland.com.au/wp-content/u... In this document, Football Queensland say trans people can only play community football/soccer as their own gender if they submit a form every year asking for special dispensation. 110
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Here’s where you’ll find Football Queensland’s Gender Policy on their website. That’s three sub-menus deep, if you’re wondering. As far as I can tell, the word ‘transgender’ only appears in this PDF on Football Queensland’s website. footballqueensland.com.au/Resources/pl... 100

MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I just got an ad for Football Queensland Girls United Social Sessions - “for girls and women of all ages and all bodies”. But, that’s not quite true, sadly. 121
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Perhaps surprisingly, I am the *exact* person who would immediately recognise that quote, so you got the audience right in one regard. 000
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s like that old thing about how when women talk 50% of the time in a group convo, men think they’re talking 80% of the time. Equality feels like oppression. 110

Why? Because, when you look closely, the claims don’t stack up. 000

MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It’s interesting that people never provide specific case studies for the claims about drudgery etc. Like, you’d think if there was a single solid objective case study as to how much AI helped a company ditch drudgery, you’d see it everywhere. But, never. It’s always ‘some people I know’. 120
MJ O’Neill 🏳️⚧️ @mjoneillchw.bsky.social · 21/09/2026One of the interesting things about 9/11 is that the stereotype was already being used. The Siege came out in 1998 and the plot was about Arab terrorists with links to American intelligence and Saddam Hussein. 000
