  I identify as a #plural system— to oversimplify, I feel that there is not so much a single cohesive "me" as a, well, plurality of them. With careful introspection I can notice myself switching between which version of me is "fronting", or observe myself to be operating in a more "blended" mode. 1/

  As a trans person, I'm bitterly familiar with the phenomenon where any misdeed committed by any other person who happens to be trans— no matter how far removed they are from me by any other measure— will be used to cast aspersions on my own morality and trustworthiness, because we "share an ideology". This is a post about Berlin.

  I'm low-key furious. A friend just took the immensely brave step of telling her GP she thinks she is trans and wants to go on hormones, and he (a cis, gay man) tried to "supportively" convince her that she wasn't really trans, because he "has trans friends" and knows that if she was really a woman "she would know". Fuck. That. Shithead. 1/

  Poll for people with a natal clitoris: when you get a clitoral erection ("ladyboner"), how physically noticeable is the sensation?

  I was watching a video of trans experiences, which included this lovely older trans woman. And everything she said was very resonant, except for one thing: she said that in her experience the sex that trans women have after vaginoplasty is typically disappointing, brings little pleasure, and they often give up on it after a while. This, to be frank, is not the experience I'm familiar with, within my own social group. And I wondered at first if this implied that vaginoplasty techniques had i...

  I think I've finally put my finger on another "Geek Social Fallacy". But first, if you're not familiar with the original, go and check it out https://plausiblydeniable.com/five-geek-social-fallacies/ (I know "geek" is a very dated descriptor, but the same observations continue to hold for a lot of communities, especially queer and/or neurodiverse ones). 1/

  I regard with growing alarm the idea of "trauma dumping" as a supposed negative— that talking frankly about your troubles is variously unusual, rude, harmful, or even something to be punished. It seems to be verging even on an idea that trauma is somehow something which is infectious, spread by talking about. 1/

  Richard Dawkins falling in love with an imaginary being in the form of his AI chatbot is genuinely funny, pitiable, and ironic. It's also a good moment to look at what genuine critical thinking looks like, and how many self-professed skeptics like Dawkins actually get worse at it, not better. 1/

  Today's the day! One hill. Ten thousand people. A lot of fire. A lot of drums. A lot of body paint. Tattie in front of a big Acropolis thingy leading an interpretative-dance-slash-​ritual-for-the-ending-of-patriarchy. Wish me luck! #BeltaneFireFestival #BeltaneFireSociety #Beltane

  I have just had it pointed out to me that after #BeltaneFireFestival I was walking half-naked thru Edinburgh at 2am, only body paint to preserve my modesty. It completely slipped my mind at the time (I did have a cape but I was not bothering to cover myself with it.) Talk about altered states of mind.

  Eleanor Roosevelt's famous saying, "no-one can make you feel inferior without your consent", may be a nice desiderata to live by, but psychologically speaking... it's untrue. Truth is we're social creatures and extremely vulnerable to the judgements of others, even when we don't want to be. Especially when those others are in a place of power over us. Very much especially when they are our parents, our caregivers. We internalise external criticism as a nagging voice...

  I was down visiting my brother, when he needed to know the answer to a question. He pulled out his phone, said to me "sorry, I know you don't like AI, but this is just too convenient", and dictated his question to Gemini. And I'm just looking at him, like, bro. You have reinvented voice activated Google Search, but with the possibility of hallucinated nonsense, and even more privacy violations by global megacorporations. And if it's the cheery, fake-polite interface you l...

  Dear cis guy on the bus who told me "we all love you" and "we're all here for you" after I was subjected to transmisogynist verbal abuse from a drunk guy: the sentiment is appreciated, I guess... but... like... You coulda "been there for me" while the abuse was happening rather than sitting there studiously avoiding eye contact with anyone. Just a thought.

  I am not One of the Good Trans. I have always said this. What I mean is: I reject the framing that picks and chooses "acceptable" #trans people, and rejects and invalidates others. 1/

  "Mrs Jackson, are you really insisting that God made your daughter pregnant?" The doctor peered at the flustered middle-aged woman in his office as he slowly cleaned his glasses. "Yes! He said so himself!" "Am I understand that... that God revealed himself to you and told you that your daughter was pregnant by immaculate conception?" "Well, not to me, but he told Mary herself, and I trust her implicitly. And anyway..." The doctor looked around, as if searc...

  Reminder to all feminists If you accept trans people being defined by their reproductive role... Then men can define all woman by their reproductive role If you accept that trans teenagers are too young to make decisions about their bodies... Then men can decide teenage girls are too young to make decisions about their bodies If you accept medical gatekeeping of trans people's access to hormones... Then doctors can restrict any woman's access to HRT and birth control If you accept st...

  The way that Erika Kirk is criticised, across the political spectrum, illustrates a deep, deep misogyny in our narratives of widows and #widowhood. (In the US and UK at least, and probably more broadly). I'm not sure yous non-widows are even seeing it. And I wish you would. 1/

  Cis people sometimes demand #trans people rigourously define what "gender" means and explain what drives us to embody a gender other than the one assigned to us at birth. If we can't do that, they say, how can they believe us? But trans people shouldn't have to be philosophers and psychologists all wrapped up into one to have our experiences believed. 1/

  Oh yeah, everyone, I did a #ritual against transphobia this morning, so we're not doing that anymore. Thank you for your cooperation. 😊
