#TransRights
Let kids be kids:
- who can grow up feeling safe and accepted for who they are.
- Who can look to adults to protect them from physical and emotional harm when necessary.
- Who feel their lives are precious and worth living.
- Who know that human rights are for everyone and see that demonstrated every day.🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Time for my #introduction.
I focus on #retro on modern #gaming and #technology. I'm a sucker for #nostalgia of all kinds, but im also an avid current gen #gamer. I'm an oldschool #Android Stan with a love for #FOSS and the #fediverse.
Aside from tech I'm a lover of #birds and #birding. We need to protect our feathered friends by caring for our #environment.
I'm a stauch #progressive and support #transrights. Leave my #trans sisters and brothers alone. They're precious.




I just saw a trans woman closing her account on Twitter casually mention she has a blocklist of 325,000 accounts.
Forget the logistics (ie. blocking can be semi-automated and shared)
That's 325,000 accounts of likely hatred and bile. Just let that number sink into you for a moment ...
#Trans #TransRights #Fediverse :flag_transgender:
I just caught this in #PressGazette from last week.
One of the things which I really find worthwhile about specialising in capturing social movements and protests is being able to help illustrate articles, and foster ongoing conversations, about the rights of marginalised groups.

I see a lot of Boosts of @genderoftheday coming from my Trans and Enby followers.
But do they realise a made up, funny nonsensical "gender of the day" is exactly the transphobic narrative that gender is arbitrary, made up, nonsensical, and can change daily? That the 'kids now identify as cats or attack helicopters'?
Can you imagine the screenshots in the right-wing media?
Satire and irony are lost when the topic is such a hot button one.
Going to a support-trans-youth rally tomorrow to combat this Parental Rights nonsense, trying to figure out a sign. I have two leading contenders.
Tonight we watched based-on-a-true-story film, Misbehaviour about the start of the Women's Liberation Front in UK and its protest at the 1970 Miss Universe competition. In an interview Sally says they're not anti women but they want to stop women being judged against each other on the basis of their looks and the shape of their bodies.
Feminists should apply this to #TransRights too! Don't judge on body shape or looks! And yet TERFisland is getting worse 😢

No one should ever feel their rights threatened because of an innate human characteristic such as gender, gender identity, race, sexuality, or religion.
Whether you're Christian or Muslim, cis or trans, we all have the same human rights and they all deserve protection.

Hi all!
I'm asking people to go and review Cllr Mandy Clare (CWAC) IMDb page.
Someone has already updated the links to this toxic and dangerous public figure's "home page" on there and on Wikipedia, but it would be nice if we can cancel out the hundreds of positive reviews of the hate documentary "Adult Human Female" on IMDB ( imdb.com/title/tt23844954/?ref… )
Have fun and please reshare!

Steven Fry fell of the stage? I feel we need to consider both parts here. How did the floor feel about this? Did he not try to compromise? He should have taken a more calm approach to this...
Anti-trans rallies met with huge counter-protests across Canada
To all my friends in my town and across this country....don't let the haters get you down. You are all beautiful and worthy of calling your own shots in life. AS for the haters, go back to your basements and chat rooms where you belong.

Child did a presentation in his year 6 class today on MrBeast.
In talking about his good qualities spoke about his support for Kris Tyson's coming out as trans and his rejection of transphobia.
Really proud of this kid.

Anti-Trans Canadian March Outnumbered By Huge Trans Rights Crowds, Teachers Unions
Anti-trans group, 1 Million March 4 Children, planned massive protests against the rights of trans students. They were largely drowned out by huge crowds of supporters for trans rights and unions.

Not surprisingly, the party whose members recently voted in favour of policies restricting trans health care told its elected members to keep quiet.
Like cowards.

Ugly shit going down across Canada, with “parental rights” groups staging anti-trans rallies and anti-fascists opposing them. Bless these counter-protesters, wish I could be there ✊🏻 🖤 🏳️🌈

The whole idea of protesting against teaching gender theory in schools is deeply fucking hateful and offensive. I can't be at the counter protests today but I am standing in solidarity. Down with anti-trans hate.
That ideology has no place in Canada, or anywhere at all.
Three cheers for everyone who attended / is attending / will attend a #TransAllyship #rally across #Canada today!

I was so grateful and inspired by the younger protesters today at the counter protest to the "One Million March for Children" in Montreal.
I needed to leave after 4 hours because I needed to come home to eat and take meds and I'm exhausted.
Unfortunately, the anti-trans side vastly outnumbered us. They also had people hiding in our group and trying to start fights and others trying to start fights too, but we always de-escalated peacefully as a group.
They were even able to freely walk around the outskirts of our side and film, but the same wasn't true for us.
These people have hate in their hearts and don't care about protecting anyone.
I hope more cis and straight allies show up in the future because we need your support to stand against hate!


How many of the protesters are only there because they're too neurotic to realize they don't have the skills to explain being trans in society to their kids?
There are resources. The same resources that Conservative politicians say shouldn't be available
If you read them, you might understand what being trans is and what being supportive of those who are entails. You might end up happier, and be less likely to want to erase trans people.
Why do you think Conservatives do that? #TransRights

I worked the frontline with homeless street youth for more than 5 years. By far the largest demographic were LGBTQ kids who had been forced out of their homes onto the streets by angry, intolerant abusive parents. Many identified as Trans. Too many died young before they found out someone loved them and cared about them.

1/ Speaking out in solidarity with counter protesters today in Canada. Our youth deserve to know we want them to be safe from the hatred directed at them by right wing Conservatives and religious fascists.

…

Keep standing in the streets shouting - because I am behind you 100% and it is an energizing image to have in my head. You are fighting the good fight and the other side wins when we just stop showing up.
Organizers of the #1millionmarch4children protest against Trans rights and gender education have urged participating parents to take their kids out of school for the day.
This would be a good day for students and concerned parents to note carefully who is absent, and re-evaluate interactions with those students and parents.

Aaaand, once again, love, tolerance, acceptance, inclusion and respect triumph. And so the "Hands Off Our Kids" people were told, but I doubt any lesson will be learned.
>In Guelph, around 300 counter protestors have shown up, and around 50 protestors can be seen outside the city hall

Lovely non-violent protest in St Patrick’s square today, turning up to not let the transphobes feel they can rally without consequences. Great turnout for a midday Wednesday I’ve got to say.
Anti-trans protests happened on Sept 20 in almost every major city in Canada. It’s fucking terrifying, to be honest.
Hate doesn’t stop by itself. It has to BE stopped.
You can help in small and big ways: change your user photo to this, explain why to your family and friends, and go support the side of diversity & equality on Sept 20.
Look around your corner of the country and you’ll find the counter-protest. Stand with them.

Join us in supporting our trans community by standing up for them!
On Wednesday, Sep 20, anti-trans groups are marching across the country to spread their hateful rhetoric. In #Vancouver, they are meeting at 969 Robson Street at 1pm, then gathering at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Let’s show them that love is louder, that we won’t let hate win 🏳️⚧️

In case you haven’t learned anything from history and it isn’t yet clear to ppl in #Ottawa and across #Canada that the same people who attack #transrights also spew #antisemitism & #Islamophobia. Hate is hate. Silence is complicity. Every school board and every trustee should’ve spoken out already about Sept 20th.

The demonstration planned for Sept 20th in #Canada is NOT about parental rights. It is an attack on #TransRights. See what’s happened in the USA. Call out “both sides” #cdnmedia coverage and boards of #education that won’t stand up to hate.

So yes it’s in #Canada.
I'm a bit* unimpressed watching certain prominent Twitter lefties going after the Trans Liberation Alliance for daring to organise an action without their approval.
* Seriously unimpressed
I don't know about you, but I have never, not once ever, needed some imported Brit lad to tell me how to live and who to accept, and I'm sure as shit not about to start now. Trans rights are human rights, support our trans brothers and sisters. Parker and her crew can get in the sea.
Go on home you fucking fascist go on home. A thousand people at the counter protest against posie parker. Posie parker you can't hide you have nazis on your side. There's more of us than you #trans #MastoDaoine #transrights #dublin

“Trans people aren’t a threat to anyone; hate born by ignorance is. All trans (including non binary) people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who we are and where we are at with our medical and social transition. Look beyond the hype and fear-mongering in the press. Become the representation you want to see yourself.” Fox Fisher

With the Tories delaying anything on the Conversion Therapy Bill :progresspride_flag:, and seemingly being stymied over the illegality of what some factions might prefer to publish on Trans Schools Guidance (non-statutory) ... I find it amazing there is still zero in the UK Press afaik that the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform (Section S35) Appeal case starts in just four (4) days?
Putting #TransRights aside, the Constitutional and Devolved law aspects of this case with Westminister 🇬🇧 vs Scotland 🏴 are simply monumental. I start to assume both parties are bound by something we're not privy to, perhaps by the Scottish Court of Session.
The omerta is deafening - am I missing something?
