Kane {semi-haitus}🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧷😷

Hello world! This is my new, public facing twitter. I will be using it to post streaming announcements, talk about games design and look for new opportunities in the games industry. Followers always appreciated! Find me on: #Twitch: /KaneOnMain #LinkedIn: /kane-elijah-elwell

Trans women are women. That's it. That's the tweet.

@ravnervn I love.... the cat??

First Katkin Club box arrived yesterday... today it's become a cosy home for Phasma! She's having her main snooze on my bed but we'll see how she likes it later today 💜 #KatKinCribs

Hi folks I'm still on semi-haitus (as before, my health is incredibly variable and I need to focus on regaining my stability and independence), but I have an announcement! I have a Patreon now: patreon.com/KEElwell If you feel like supporting me, please check it out!

Hey folks, sorry for my extended absence! I'm taking some time away from twitter (and streaming). I'm dealing with some medical and financial instability, and tweeting isn't a good use of energy right now. I'll be back eventually, love y'all 💚

@invalid__art Oh, I didn't know this and it's been used against me a lot. Nice 🙃

🔕 muting this; the support is much appreciated but my emotional energy is better spent somewhere other than the comments of this tweet. Keep writing to your MPs and pushing for green policy across party lines, and don't burn out while fighting the good fight ✊

If you followed me for me presence in the green party, I have bad news. I'm stepping back from all active engagement with the party. I believe in green policy. I cannot pour my heart into a party that makes me feel unsafe. I'll be back if/when I can attend events without fear.

@BartySlarty I am a rape survivor. Using emotive 'think about rape victims' comebacks at me is deliberately hurtful and doesn't make the point you think it does. Stay away from this little patch of internet I tend.

@ElwellKane Imagine how unsafe that little girl felt when Baloo Challenor kidnapped and raped her, while acting as a green party election agent, and your party covered it up. Imagine.

Numbers go brrr! If you want to help trans people in the UK, consider supporting Gendered Intelligence or Galop - they have both helped me and I recommend them. If you want to know what being trans means, on a lived experience level, you can ask me. Lets keep saving the world!

@Jeeeez17 Lmao I'm leaving because of physical threats to myself and other transmasc folks when i showed up with an ambitious project to plant trees in underprivileged areas of my county but go off

@ElwellKane You do know that politics has always been a robust argy bargy of ideas and egos thrashing out policy and positions? Running away because you don't agree with others opinions is a strange response. Maybe you thought women would do that? We're tougher than that!

@pigovian As above: very welcome, and I'll discuss specifics in private if that would be helpful

@StefLib You're very welcome to, and I'm happy to discuss the specifics that led me here in private

@ElwellKane I'm sorry Kane, you deserve better than this. I'll do what I can to make the party safe for you again. Would you mind if I used your tweet as evidence in a complaint that I'm drafting? To show how many people are leaving or stepping back because of transphobia.

@keithpp There is a small group who have been behaving in an intimidating way towards trans members (including at conference), and the complaints system did not find a solution. As investigations are ongoing, I dont think naming/shaming is a helpful tactic, so instead I'm stepping away.

@ElwellKane Why do you not feel safe?

Wordle 226 2/6 I know this was luck not skill but I'm still proud 🤩 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@Felam135 @MDEleftist There is one specific transphobe who has said some extremely vile things and made conference hostile to trans people, and dispute resolution did nothing. I want to discuss green energy and rewilding, not be called names at conference.

NEAG members have set up a mutual aid phone box in Durham, just off Market Square, with free food and clothes. Please take what you want and leave what you can to keep it filled for those struggling with the current cost of living crisis.

@shoddyknight @thatinterlace @bloodandt3rf I'd be willing to help, but as a point of information: I did not actually attend conference despite having a ticket because a specific prominent transphobe was in attendance and I deemed the event an unsafe place to be a visibly trans public speaker.

@thatinterlace @bloodandt3rf Hello, yes, I have opinions about this stuff, possibly also @ElwellKane who I think actually went to Conference this year. If he's up for it

We debated last year whether or not to do an ep on the green party and its ongoing internal split over trans issues. We've finally decided to do one, but would prefer to have a guest with better insider knowledge of Green party stuff than us This is an open call for volunteers

spend longer than I'd like to admit making this pretty. My minecraft villagers have a nicer house than me

Wordle 217 X/6 I am not good at word games, but this is the first one I've failed since starting a week ago, and I'm proud that I've been doing the thing regardless! ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
