Census 2021 logo which reads "census 2021" in a purple font and also includes the welsh for census too which is "cyfrifiad". This is the first official UK government survey to include transgender and non-binary census data.

What does Census 2021 say about trans people?

Trans people live in diverse communities, intersecting ethnicity, age, disability, religion and sexuality. This is not news, but the Office for National Statistics released fresh data comparing the gender identities of people in England and Wales with key demographics which were recorded in Census 2021.

Debunking the “41%” transgender suicides figure

The way the "41%" figure is used by transphobes is an attempt beat us down even further than they already do. But its just not what the data says. The data says that suicide isn't the inevitable out come of a transgender life, that you can and should fight for your survival because there is a light at the end of the tunnel and one day you will be free.

UCLan Professor pens brazenly transphobic guidance for journalists & media

I would go on and dissect more of this UCLan style guide but its really all just the same. A complete disregard for transgender lives and an attempt to make transphobia easier to practice in the media for bigots. The point isn't fairness, equality, accuracy or balance. Its simply to create a double standard wherein the actual identity of a transgender person becomes part of the story - something that is literally never on the table when cisgender people commit crimes.
JK Rowling will be arrested; the image shows a woman in handcuffs and ankle restraints. It's a BDSM image, I thought it would be funny given how she accuses trans women of fetishism.

JK Rowling will be arrested, finally

This is the latest news in the pissing match between trans people and anti-trans activists happening every second of every single day online. We are proud to report that JK Rowling will be arrested, perhaps this afternoon even.

Group photo of activists and campaigners for Stonewall mostly dressed in Stonewall red t-shirts which read phrases such as “Some people are gay, get over it” and so forth. There are also many, many signs and rainbows. Wholesome.

What is “Stonewall Law”?

Today it’s the largest LGBTQIA+ charity in Europe, so it’s no surprise it’s become the target of European queerphobia.

Hideous queer display at London Bridge has bigots quaking in their boots

A queer display at London Bridge has been recently unveiled much to the chagrin of known bigots on the internet. So disturbed are they by gay flags that they have taken to describing it as "intimidating" and calling for it to be removed.
All JK Rowling Said was....Its the same photo of JK Rowling reading Philosopher's Stone at the White House like 10 years ago that I usually use, except I've cranked the brightness and contrast up to make fun of the way she does her profile pictures on Twitter, after she made fun of people for having cartoon profile pictures. You know, a little jape. Photo credit: Wikimedia Commons

All JK Rowling said was… re: “rapist rights activists”

In a bizarre tweet by the beloved Harry Potter author where she refers to trans rights advocates as "rapist rights activists", all JK Rowling said was "compelling a woman to call her rapist or violent male attacker ‘she’ in court is state-sanctioned abuse" right? Wrong!

“Get on with it”; Arthur Webber on Parliament’s Conversion Therapy Ban debate

The debate was attended by so many, from different parties and nations. Yet all came to the same conclusion: conversion “therapy” is abuse. The overrepresentation of LGB+ MPs (the only openly trans MP, Jamie Wallis, was not present) shows that as much as the media attempt to divide us, we are a united community.
