So, a couple weeks back, the BBC's LBGT+ support page quietly dropped three trans-specific helplines:

At the time, the reason was unknown even to the corporation's internal Pride Network.

Now, we hear the reason has been officially given - confirmation that they were 'dropped due to “audience complaints” relating to the “increasingly contested issues relating to trans issues and children”'.

Fuck that with a rusty chainsaw. Removal of those support lines gives clear support to those who *don't need those helplines*, and unambiguously aligned management against trans people. It's not coincidental that with the ramping up of TERFs in the press has come a sharp rise in harassment and violent attacks against trans people; either the BBC supports that, or they oppose it.

I'm here to suck the dick of everyone who does not suck their own dick themselves. do I suck my own dick?

surveilling police is good actually. we need a record of the fucked up shit they are doing. they aren't going to turn in their body cams or whatever bullshit white people believe they will do.

these unmarked, plainclothes cis men grabbed, threw down, and disappeared a white trans woman into a late-model, Kia minivan, NYS plate JGB-1864m in front of her community on a city street in NYC in only the past hour:

just saw a tweet that went "what would happen if people started tearing down statues of the Prophet Mohammad" and this is why we need mandatory world religion education classes for everyone

they/them is great when speaking about:
* an abstract person
* a person with they/them pronouns
* a person whose pronouns you have no way of knowing

it's bad when speaking about:
* someone who's told you other pronouns
* someone whose pronouns you could ask or look up
