the flu and covid jabs this year are ferocious, currently shivering in bed with all my joints on fire. still better than having flu or covid though, get your shots kids

Its really telling that so many people immediately got what i was getting at here, i love that the entire Uk trans community has a shared trauma caused by our "healthcare" provider

"NHS Impose requirement to live in your desired neurotype for 2 years before being able to seek treatment"

Huh. So Bluesky's notification system just completely shits the bed after more that 50 notifications? This app is held together by duct tape and hope

Enter Shikari have always had a reputation in the scene for being self righteous blowhards This is beyond the pale though

"brexit was the 21st century thatcher" is such a funny statement bc it sounds entirely nonsensical unless youve seen literally any graph showing data on britain

I had a GIC quack tell me i was faking my dysphoria for having fears about using the women's facilities where I grew up, because it was UKIP heartland and multiple trans people had been assaulted there.

Lazzie BOO!! 😱@lazzieb.bsky.social

guys the UK gender clinics -π•π•šπ•₯𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕝π•ͺ- required trans people to use the facilities for their target sex, for two years, before they were given any access to healthcare. rationale is not where these people go looking for answers. it is solely about their bigoted priors. everything comes after that.

if you wanna talk shibboleths, forcing trans people to risk assault and murder for two years just to get a crumb of inadequate healthcare certainly feels like one. The GICs have medicalised hazing rituals

idk if its a conspiracy theory or what, but im certain that the push for foldable phones comes as a direct response to much improved durability of glass fronts on regular touch screens to push people to keep replacing phones every 2-3 years still. coz like is there any real benefit to it folding?

once again, can a single left wing party not be torn apart by vindictive bigots?

Dr. Catherine Strickson@brigitteempire.bsky.social

Ironically, this is what β€˜bringing the party into disrepute’ is - actively making the party look bigoted, petty, and vindictive, damaging its reputation, and airing it out in public for maximum exposure

If the british state apparatus could stop trying to group British Jews in with zionists and Israel for once that would be great Its not like that rhetoric is gonna embolden antisemites further or anything

Getting near my limit for party infighting and nonsense with the greens How is every left wing party in this country a clown show.

X is swamped with so much pro-AfD propaganda, the people staying there are ensuring those in their circle get bombarded by it. So 100% agreement, staying there *is* literally and directly enabling fascism.

neo nazis had record election success in germany and thanked elon musk/x specifically for making it possible and this is what you are enabling by staying on twitter: literal fascism

Nick Wallis: this service set up to remedy deficiencies in provision is remedying deficiencies in provision! Also I found an unsupportive parent of a queer adult! I mean that’s literally it. Apparently that’s all you need to tear down trans healthcare in this country.

The BBC is institutionally bigoted, from top to bottom. This is what your TV license pays for, the manufacturing of consent for a genocide against trans people. Don't pay it.

Cwiar Cymru@cwiar.org

More appalling behaviour from the BBC. ⬇️ A trans person interviewed about their horrific experience having their surgery cancelled whilst in the hospital described as 'biologically female'. And then half the article devoted to praising the work of an unemployed transphobe. πŸ—£οΈ DEFUND THE BBC πŸ—£οΈ

much as the murder of Brianna Ghey mysteriously stopped being about the climate of transphobia in the UK and became about teen access to social media, the death of Jason Arday is, equally mysteriously, no longer about racism and is becoming about free speech in academia

I see the government has extended its "dignity and respect" mantra to the lgbtq+ community generally I wish all my cis compatriots luck in what that likely means for them

Lyra reposted

Two-tier policing in the UK. Trans person is less than polite about the deceased Anne Widdecombe. Scottish Police investigate, contemplate charges. Loads of white media people harass a black person to the point where they kill themselves. Met Police declare this is not a police matter. #Arday

every time I learn about how extensive the tram network the UK used to have was, it makes me equal parts sad and angry WHY DID WE GET RID OF IT?? WHAT A WASTE??

moved from Fedora to OpenSUSE, so far its decent! nothing missing in the repos so far and everything seems very up to date

idk, I think the fact that my local green party members are more outraged over the T-Shirt debacle than the leaderships milquetoast response to the ongoing trans genocide might be indicative of misguided priorities or something
