I wrote to @london.gov.uk a few months back to ask why, as a self professed “trans ally,” he was celebrating the new Harry Potter shop on Oxford St.

Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f

“The surgical referral rate for the Welsh Gender Service was actually lower than in England – and far below the ‘3x–4x national referral rate’ claimed by the right-wing media.”

Is it irritating anyone else that the whimsymaxxing trend has everyone captioning their pictures/videos with “a whimsy autumn,” “a whimsy crafts night,” etc. and not “a whimsical [insert event here]” or is this something I need to work through in therapy?

The cancellation of all gender affirming surgeries by NHS Wales is a blatant attack on our community. We need to fight back and we need cis allies to step up 🏳️⚧️💖

Very insightful thread
On top of the environmental/financial damage, one of the saddest things to me about authors using GenAI for their writing is they're removing any capability to develop their own style.
