“How can I be a good trans ally in Pride month?” Here’s one way: I’m finally able to leave the city where I experienced homelessness & cop violence, to one where love and safety await. Please help me fund moving costs! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ ▪️ paypal.me/StuffOfMemes ▪️ £TheStuffOfMemes RT 🙏

sadly one of the most important lessons i learned as an antirape activist is that women are not automatically kinder or supportive of survivors. unfortunately we all grew up in a culture that breeds a victim-blaming mindset. i wrote about it here: wagatwe.com/blog/why-women

You’ll literally have a policy like “make air cleaner” after an EPA report on pollution, and radio stations will invite on the CEO of Blowing Smoke in Babies Faces Ltd to blabber on about how it’ll hurt quarterly profits by 2%.

BBC Panorama spent a year working with a woman who told of being sexually abused by an MP — only to drop it at the 11th hour following entirely predictable legal threats If the Beeb was not committed to it, they should never have asked Becky, still so traumatised, to participate

Quote Tweet

I spent a year working on & filming this documentary, it was due to air in a few weeks. I was waiving my anonymity on camera for the first time about being sexually abused by an MP and how Westminster chose to protect him. The BBC pulled the plug at the 11th hour and silenced me twitter.com/rpaton11/statu…

Self-ID passed in New Zealand with unanimous support of the house, unthinkable here in transphobe HQ

Quote Tweet

New Zealand's new self-ID laws come into effect today. Kiwis can now change their sex marker on their birth certificate to male, female or non-binary without going to the Family Court. The law passed parliament in 2021 with the unanimous support of the house.

So they never actually confirmed that the Nashville shooter was trans, but the autopsy report has been released and fash media are reporting it as confirming the shooter was trans. I just read it, and it said the shooter was "reported to be trans", and nothing else
