Some media outlets have issued retractions, albeit far smaller than their front page claims of “transgender ideology” however this has not stemmed the flow of anti-trans rhetoric and threats of violence. No responsibility has been taken, or will be taken, for the harm this reporting has and continues to put my community in who again: had absolutely nothing to do with any of this other than being someone Kirk was opposed to and liked to lie about.

Learning to say sorry when we mess up is important. It’s important when you’re a rambunctious 3 year old smashing up plants, it’s important when you’re an adult and an editor forced to publish bigotry, and it’s important when you’re a prominent community voice trying to lead by example. It’s important to recognise and understand what you have done wrong and then to apologise, sincerely, for having done it.

It is absolutely going to be harder to survive, resist and flourish under this ruling. I will not sugarcoat that in any way. But it is not impossible, I don’t believe it will last forever and the crap time we spent in this awkward bigoted limbo will be so much more tolerable with the beauty that is community.

Two talks under the LGBTQ tag on Oxford Literary Festival have attracted widespread condemnation due to being held by anti-trans campaigners Julie Bindel and Helen Joyce, with Joyce being a straight cisgender woman and in no way LGBTQ. Previous years for Oxford Literary Festival have included a talk by Sharron Davies spreading anti-trans propaganda about the unfairness of leaving trans athletes alone and not being weird about them.

UK Press outlets are choosing to focus on attempting to manufacture a “queer panic defense” in which the actions of the attackers are excused due to the victim’s gender identity or sexual orientation. While also actively ommitting details which harm that; such as the fact that this attacker was recording sex without consent or that the attack happened over a week after the sex act took place.

I don’t know if it was just the Christmas spirit in the air or if I was emitting some sort of powerful “come talk to me” aura, but my usual plan of quietly playing games and hoping to be left alone was immediately smashed. Replaced by a sequence of old men who wanted to chat I guess.

The puberty blocker ban has now been extended until 2027 in an act targeting a few hundred kids around the country at the behest of dedicated hate groups against them and literally nothing else. Trans Kids Deserve Better protested this action outside of Wes Streeting’s office last night.

As we entered the final month of the year; 2024 really wanted to make sure we don’t forget her by delivering us an assassination, an…

We are stronger together and the only way any of this is ever going to improve is if we work and fight together to put the bigots back in their boxes. I’m proud of myself for fighting a racist on a train, sure there are things that in hindsight I would have done differently. But I will never not be overjoyed with the knowledge that I’m not the kind of person to just let someone be abused, I love that that is who I am.
