According to a 2019 paper, homosexuality has been observed in over 1,500 species. Homophobia has only been observed in one.
Ultimately, whether or not queerness is “natural” is not in question. It’s a fact. The real question is why that matters in the first place.

ALT Queerness exists in nature. Queerphobia is human-made.

So everyone outraged by what happened to Imane Khelif is going to leap to defend this young woman from the same dehumanizing effort to humiliate her, right. Because it's the harassment we opposed and not merely that it targeted someone who wasn't trans, right

If your statement is true, @jk_rowling, why are puberty blockers still being prescribed for kids with precocious puberty, those with endometriosis, and some people living with cancer?
Why are you not advocating for their complete ban?
A recent study by the Mayo clinic found that 'puberty blockers can lead to fertility problems, withering testicles, and even cancer among children who take them.'

Fear-mongering by anti-trans activists has created an atmosphere in which women who don't present as stereotypically femine being hounded out of female changing rooms. And both Tories and Labour are looking to legitimise such behaviour. Solidarity to Lara tiktok.com/@larajonesmusic/v…

Holocaust distortion is a form of Holocaust denial. This can involve minimizing or denying the victim status of Holocaust victims.
Not all denial is claiming that there were no gas chambers.
Seems a relevant point to make.

This is a bizarre but incredibly important interaction for understanding how JK Rowling's mind works post-radicalisation, and how cult movements and extremist groups are able to function in conflict with seemingly undeniable reality.
A small thread 🧵

Puberty blockers are trending as the right wing press is trying to give support to Lettice Liz's bill. So, a reminder-
Blockers have been used in cis kids for 40+ years, trans kids for 30+ years. In all that time not one study into their use in trans kids shows negative outcomes

A major media company is FINALLY covering the slaughter Israel has committed against the civilians in the Gaza Strip. There’s still much that needs to be done but this is a battle that can be won. No matter what don’t let up an ounce of pressure on these outlets or the US govt.

For perspective, there were 1.93 million people prescribed HRT in the UK in 2021/22, which was a 30% increase from the previous year.
48,000 people said they trans women in a recent census of England and Wales.
Trans women are not causing a shortage of HRT, anywhere.

The statement by the headteacher of Brianna Ghey whose twitter I will not be linking so as to delay the time before it is descended upon by the cult o9f rabid transpohobes that infest this place.
It's beautiful and it changes what we were told by the transphobic press about her-

Taylor swift being the most influential person on the planet currently and her not saying a word about Palestine and then gracing the cover of person of the year which should’ve been given to Journalists fighting their ppl/their own lives, is unholy levels of sinister

"42% of murders of women in Ireland is done by the 9% that are migrant men" is a made-up statistic.
It's spread to dehumanise immigrants as 'savages'.
I've compiled real stats on murders of women in Ireland, including prior criminal records, to counter this hatred and lies. /1

We're in @forbes! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to speak about our @stonewalluk report into asexual experiences with such an iconic publication. We discuss the sexualisation of workplace culture and how that can negatively impact asexual people:

This story got drowned out by the elections yesterday, but I want to make it clear to everyone.
A decent sized city in Tennessee has banned public homosexuality.
This is the kind of law we have not seen since the 70s. It’s straight out of Orbán and Putin’s government.

Humans can only survive without water for about 3 days. Gaza has run dry.
The blockade on water, food, and electricity is an indiscriminate, collective punishment and a crime.
It is cruel and unjust. To save millions of people in Gaza - nearly half children - it must end. Now.
