I am being genuine when I say I value the life of the seal over an animal abuser

To mark Trans+ History Week (4-10 May), here are four trans icons from history that you might not know about 🏳️‍⚧️

Is Keir Starmer going to visit the ruins of the trans nightclub burnt to the ground in Milton Keynes? Will the Government now be clamping down on Transgender Critical hate? 🤷‍♀️. Trans people don’t feel safe - neither the Gov or the BBC give a stuff. #Newsnight

Have made my grandmother’s last words into a fridge magnet

LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ community: Madonna have been with us when we didn’t have platforms, in fact, when we were all dying of AIDS, when homo/transphobia was everywhere massively; she gave us a spotlight in her music, tours, statements. Let’s dance along her new music, The Queen of Pop👑.

You made your bed, now lie in it, bitch.

madonna quería q lo llore el puto, el marginado, el negro, las trans, los q encontraron el refugio en el pop y la pista de baile. asique no nos importa si a vos, concheto heteronormado, no te conmueve, porque nunca lo vas a entender ni vivir.

Blows my mind UK politicians let a children’s book author tell them which minority should be abused..

13 years ago today panic spread on social media, as people feared Cher had died due to the hashtag #nowthatchersdead Fortunately, Cher was alive and the hashtag was for Margaret Thatcher.

Well said, this is what an ally does. 🏳️‍⚧️

J. K. Rowling is explicitly named in a red flag warning issued by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention. It’s no longer a debate it never was a debate, or about your opinions. This is the result of your opinions. An official Genocide warning to the UK. That is not commentary. It is in the report. The Institute refers to the UK Supreme Court case brought by For Women Scotland and notes that the group is financially backed by Rowling. That case is then placed within a wider analysis of policy, legal change and public narrative affecting transgender and intersex people in the United Kingdom. The report describes these developments as part of a broader process of erasure. It points to the removal of privacy, the creation of rigid legal categories, and the framing of a group as “other” within public life. It situates these actions within patterns the Institute monitors as early warning signs, including what it defines as the denial or prevention of identity. This is not a passing reference. It connects influence, law and outcome. The significance is not that Rowling is the focus of the report. It is that her position is part of the ecosystem the report is analysing. That is where the discussion changes. Because this is no longer just about individual opinion. It is about how ideas move into institutions, how they shape decisions, and how those decisions affect whether people can exist safely and openly. The report does not rely on rhetoric. It relies on pattern recognition. Legal change. Policy direction. Public narrative. Taken together. That is what is being flagged. @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @LGBTLabour @UKLabour @labourpress lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-alert…

To celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility (Tuesday 31st March), here’s a clip from 1967 which shows a young trans woman called Vicky showing us a day in her life. The remarkable glimpse into pre-Stonewall trans life in New York serves as a reminder that trans people have always existed and will always exist.

Put very nicely.

We have always been here!

Not sure why I'm getting ads for Spanish Lidl while browsing on a British phone in Switzerland- but I love it and want more! Love the pun, too!

Nice! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
