I really hope every single corporation that marched in #LondonPride2018 today will demand that the organisers explain why their trans staff were made to march behind an anti-trans hate group. #justsayin'
If you are part of an LGBT employee group at any of these companies, ask your employer to take this up with #PrideInLondon .
If you are @stonewalluk and any of these companies are Diversity Champions or enter the WEI, ask them what they did to protect and safeguard their trans employees at #PrideInLondon .
The #PrideInLondon website has a list of corporate sponsors. If you are a trans ally, please consider contacting these companies and asking them what they're doing to support their trans employees and hold organisers to account. prideinlondon.org
On that note, @BarclaysUK as a headline sponsor of #PrideInLondon what will you do to support your trans employees and hold Pride organisers to account for allowing a transphobic hate group to lead today's march?

Would someone please point out to both these people that the main difference between Denmark and Venezuela is that one is historically a coloniser and the other colonised?
Literally the only reason Denmark gets to do these things is that it's at the top of a global imperial-colonial system and profits from the exploitation of those at the bottom.
The US does that too, but it also has an internal hierarchy of exploitation. Both are deeply racist.

Reading the draft promo copy for the book has led to deeply existential questions at half 8 in the morning. "What *am* I these days?"
Considering "warrior poet" as a job title.
Have sadly gone with "independent scholar, activist and consultant". Might get "warrior poet" business cards though.

Hey Twitter, remember the Young Post-Doc Precarious?
You can now buy The Young Post-Doc Precarious on a mug, or as a sticker, or on a t-shirt. (Heck, if you want it on a duvet cover, give me a shout and I'll make you a higher-res version! 😂)

Are you a post-doc precarious? Cheer yourself up with a cushion or a travel mug or a postcard!

Are you a PhD supervisor whose student is about to graduate? Give them a glimpse at their future!

There's even a white version to go on black t-shirts!

Two days ago I wrote an article for @gaystarnews about the meteoric rise in anti-transgender hate in the UK ➡️ gaystarnews.com/article/is-the…

Today, The Sunday Times published its most dehumanising transphobic article yet! 😕
Today’s article in The Sunday Times is just the tip of the iceberg in what has become a relentless barrage of unending transphobic, trans-hostile and insidiously undermining articles published over the last 18 months!😕
The Times has systematically and repeatedly painted a picture of trans people as a “lobby” group of dogmatic and threatening “activists” who have some sort of unlimited power to “demand” rights of politicians and policy makers.

The truth is far from this.

i see Fair Play for Women have deleted all of their tweets prior to 2018.

So lets take a look at what they deleted, as well as evidence the person responsible for the tweets is still involved with the organisation.

Please RT.
here's what started the controversy. we'll be starting with this because 1) it's blatant as hell and 2) Fair Play for Women and specifically Dr Nicola Williams lied to Pink News about their involvement with the group and the person who tweeted it.

archive.is/9DyDI
FPFW spokeswoman & director Nicola Williams told Pink News it "predated her time and that of anyone currently involved"

@AskNic lied

It did NOT predate her time. She joined in October before the tweet was posted. archive.is/cBgFf

Hey folks, when I say that TERFs are like union busters, this is what I mean.

This is Meg Kilgannon of the anti-LGBT evangelical group "Hands Across The Aisle" speaking at the FRC's Value Voters Summit last year. They are open, and blatant with this. lgbtqnation.com/2017/10/christ…
Whatever TERF ideology was, whatever TERFs themselves think they are, they have become entirely co-opted by the anti-LGBT evangelical movement, and have been entirely inseperable from it for years now. Those TERFs who haven't openly welcomed this are at best useful idiots.
This is from a press release from Hands Across The Ailse, written by Kilgannon last year. Women's Liberation Front is that fake feminist group funded by the evangelical movement, and the American College of Pediatricians is that anti-LGBT disguised as a medical group.

This is just one person's story: . Ask yourself what kind of person *ignores* such realities or refuses to acknowledge that the claim that such people comprise only 2-4% of the population is based on the bullying/intimidation committed by #Trans 1/x
"activists" against anyone who dares speak out like this brave young woman. We know this bullying/intimidation extends to "#Trans" people, to their families, and to any researcher or clinician who would like to study such important issues (e.g., ). I 2/x
really hope that *reasonable* and *honest* people will appreciate just how ignorant, "deluded" (n.a.d.), self-serving, "narcissistic" (n.a.d.), misguided, self-righteous etc. someone has to be to ignore the realities that I and my guests have conveyed in my numerous videos. I 3/x
