Note to cis people:
If you watch and support Harry Potter series, you are funding the anti-trans crusade that is killing people like me and stripping away our rights. Experts have warned that in the US and UK the steps toward genocide against trans people are accelerating.
I ask:
Do you care more about nostalgia of fictional people?
or
Do you care about actual people like myself and our right to exist in society like you?
This isn't a trick question. Do the right thing please. #trans
What Kansas is doing is a human rights violation.
They’re invalidating an entire group of people.
They’re effectively saying they don’t exist as they are.
They’re making lists. Stripping them of their rights. Targeting them.
It won’t stop with trans people.
#Maga is going all in against #trans people, threatening to shutdown the funding of the government if they don't get to advance a slate of dehumanizing measures against trans folks.
I expect that most here understand that this is not motivated only toward transgenocide, but more broadly to further #fascist control over all aspects of society.
If they are going to attack Americans' human rights, then Don't Fund Them!
US folks call your senators and demand that they hold firm!

We're aware we've been asking a lot recently, but we continue to have desperate needs, in Iraq especially.
We are, sadly, largely operating alone there. And right now we are effectively broke, with desperate people begging to be saved.
Please help.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. For the state to recognise this I had to submit to standards of "care" which were humiliating, degrading and which placed me at risk of violence.
But I did it "by the book"
As I did it "by the book", the NHS agreed to reregister me as female, which makes sense because my anatomy now is.
In 2007 I had sex reassignment surgery. This had to be signed off by two mental health professionals, "by the book", and it was.
In 2008 I applied for gender recognition. This involved signing a statutory obligation, stating that I promised, BY LAW, to live fully as female for the rest of my life. As this was done, "by the book", the government promised that it would treat me as such.
Its first act as treating me as female was to annul our marriage because it was a same sex marriage and those were not allowed.
The state then reissued my birth certificate, correcting the "mistake" it had originally made when it recorded me as male, "by the book".
In 2009 Sylvia and I married for the second time, in a same sex civil partnership, which was done "by the book", because the state regarded me as female and I was bound by law to be female.
In 2013 we married again, because the state decided that same sex marriage was in fact allowed after all. This was done, "by the book". Despite having been married for 12 years, we had to submit ourselves to individual questioning to prove our relationship was genuine, "by the book".
In April of 2025 the state turned round and told me that I had been mistaken. That it never regarded me as female. That I was male the whole time. That the marriage it annulled because it was a same sex marriage was never a same sex marriage (but it stays annulled). That the civil partnership in 2009 never really happened because "opposite sex" civil partnerships were not allowed in 2009.
And that the legal obligation I have to live as female for the rest of my life, which I signed and gave up my marriage for, is still in effect but also if I keep following it, I am breaking the law and subject to arrest. As it's still valid, presumably if I don't keep following it, I am also breaking the law and subject to arrest.
The law of the land simultaneously requires me to be both a man and a woman and if I do either then I am breaking the law and subject to arrest.
At every stage I did what the state asked me to, even though it was humiliating, degrading and cruel.
And it kept moving the goalposts, and reneging on the agreements it made, whilst continuing to hold me to them even when they are now mutually contradictory.
Apparently this is "all my fault" and I should have known that this would be the consequences of my actions when I started medical transition 2 decades ago.
Perhaps you can now appreciate why we are upset?

Trans people on TERF island are in real danger of being excluded from society.
If cis people do not speak up it will soon become impossible to transition legally. This is not scaremongering. You need to support trans people now.
I am ashamed to be British and I am lucky not to live there...
