I swear, the people who stare at me with amusement plastered on their stupid faces are worse than those who stare radiating disgust

I’m fine with one trans day of visibility, if we can make the other 364 trans days of invisibility

This is proper nightmare fuel. I’ve moved seat on trains a few times in the past over paranoia someone holding their phone up could be filming the clocky t-slur (I’m sure they were actually just checking instagram). The idea of being hassled in public and video being put online fills me with fear

If you want to remain hopeful about the future I don’t recommend reading Reddit posts full of guys saying they wouldn’t perform CPR on a woman because they might get accused of sexual assault

Not quite this, but my (lack of) emotional response to I Saw the TV Glow at the same time as seemingly every other trans woman was being emotionally devastated by it felt really alienating at a time I was still not completely secure in my transness

What’s that? The Guardian journalist who uses transphobic shibboleth’s about ‘surgery on health bodies’ in her tv reviews also thinks ADHD is a myth? I’m shocked, shocked

Not sure if it’s baffling that one of the leading uk-based transphobes used to be immersed in rocky horror picture show fandom or that it makes perfect sense

@jenlucpiquant.bsky.social hi, really sorry if this is something that came up last year but I was astounded that in your article about the Rocky horror picture show you centre someone who was literally on the board of one of the most transphobic pressure groups in the uk

I want to hide and to be seen - my feelings about Prof Jason Arday and how White society treats those of us who wish to be seen.

I want to hide and to be seen
I'm not sure I want to write this - it's not my suffering and there's already so much bullshit on this that I don't want to add more to it. Where I've landed after a sleepless night is this - I am responding to Prof. Jason Arday's death in complicated ways and I need to write about them, not least because I have (White) friends who need to understand better what it's like to live with this.

A lot of the time if something’s hugely well known in America, at least a vague knowledge of it will have found its way into my brain along the way, but there’s so much other cultural stuff out there where I’ve no idea what’s being referenced

I’m not convinced that Amnesty threw in the towel because of legal pressure as opposed to at least some of the senior leadership being GC, or at least sympathetic to them

On the fourth of July, 1980, about fifteen trans women went to one of the most upscale public swimming pools in Milan, took off their tops, and started lounging around. It was a Friday, and the height of the summer vacation, so there were plenty of families with young children around. 1/

‘One of us’ by Joan Osbourne popped up the other day and I realise now that I secretly loved so many middle of the road songs with women singers while growing up in the 90s

Bizarrely this ties in with how long it took me to accept I was trans. I have a real hangup about claiming an identity for myself, this feeling that it would be fake. Feels stupid to compare supporting a football team with claiming a gender identity but it really is the same mental sticking point

Electrelane were such a good band, I wish I’d managed to see them play live. Apparently one of them’s a Labour Party cheerleader, but I guess I can separate the art from the artist… m.youtube.com/watch?v=Geg1...

I think one of the real challenges in discussing anything to do with trans people is that the media simply cannot accept that the anti-position is entirely eliminationist. There is no way to "exist in public whilst trans" that they will accept, right down to celebrating a doctor quitting.
