I haven't mentioned it for a while, but if you haven't read @sarahjamielewis's edited book "Queer Privacy", now would be an amazing time to do so.

It is one of a small handful of books which has had a significant impact on me and my outlook.

Got train tickets to go to the Stand for Trans Rights demo in London tomorrow. Early start - train leaves at 0745 - but it's not something I feel I can just let pass.

I'm not a particular believer in "thin end of the wedge" thinking, but it seems in this case it is just going to embolden the bigots if people don't speak out, and then things will get worse, by increments, until we are in a full-on fascist dictatorship.

The Nazis started picking on minorities like #Queer and #Transgender people because nobody would speak up for them. This seems like a step in that direction.

Going to this protest is not much, but I hope it counts for something.

super random question but does anyone know if Billie razors are any good?? I've only ever used those cheap disposable ones(but they get used like every day for a month before they're thrown away). Honestly I'm tired of having to do ten passes to shave a small area, not even getting anywhere close to having a close shave, and having to deal with my skin being furious and everything hurting afterwards.

I've heard Billie razors are good, but honestly I know nothing about razors and which ones are good. I have really sensitive skin that hates when I shave, but I can't stand the feeling of it not being shaven. I'm broke as fuck so something around or less than $15 would be great. I'm not a fan of subscriptions so I planned on just getting a Billie one from Walmart and getting the extra blades when I need them.

I like that Billie isn't a giant company and is women owned, and they don't push into the stupid beauty standards and don't pressure you to shave if that's not your thing. But if there's a better or more affordable option that works well, I'd probably consider that instead.

thanks! :QueerCat_Trans:

Credit where credit is due, to comrade SpaceDogLaika. Really feelin' this quote lately.

"No human being is useless or unproductive. There are only people whose contributions under capitalism are not valued."

You are valued. Now let's move towards a system that values you as a person over bullshit like rapacious, exploitative profit and some capitalist's bottom line going up while your quality of life plateaus or falls.

Greetings! Can I interest you in a heartwarming donation and/or signal boost of this small Welsh town volunteer-organised Pride festival?

justgiving.com/crowdfunding/sa

Pride is deeply needed in rural Wales, where being queer can be so isolating. And since it's only small, you get a lot of bang for your buck - 16% of the £750 goal has been raised already. :)

Last year was our first Pride (Balchder in Welsh), and thanks to signal boosts on Mastodon and Tumblr it was fully funded within 24 hours, it was EPIC and the organisers were so chuffed that they COULD NOT EVEN.

@EmilyMoranBarwick @actuallyadhd @actuallyautistic I feel that!

I would definitely shame myself for not being able to do things in “the way I was supposed to do things”

But!

I’ve come to see it more like how I’ve come to see being queer:

It’s a get out of jail free card to live the life I want. I’m already on the outside so I might as well dance/be colourful/embrace life in all the ways I can.

That’s why I’m here after all!🥰

Disability Rights UK (who do fantastic disability rights handbooks) have come out in solidarity with trans folk after yesterday's decision with a much better and stronger statement than Stonewall managed (they "share the deep concern")

This is what solidarity looks like at its most basic. Supporting each other, recognising the connections that are shared, and speaking the fuck out.

www.disabilityrightsuk.orgDisability Rights UK opposes the UK Supreme Court ruling on ‘biological sex’ | Disability Rights UK

Mallory Moore goes more into why this "what is a woman" question is a distraction when the issue is more about why on earth we privilege one gender over another and allow/accept violence based on these categories

"Sex isn't a coherent distinction, it has a broad pair of types that are common, but the hierarchy of one of these over the other is forced on to us through human violence, not nature."

abolish-sex.ghost.io/its-not-a

Abolish Sex · It's not about defining WomanWhile the ruling yesterday says "trans women are men", that's not actually the crucial problem with it. It is a means to an end for organising and permitting harm and discrimination against trans women. The same ruling says that trans men are women. But it rules that trans men's "masculine"
