You know the parable of the woman being chased by a tiger who jumps off the cliff, only to catch herself on a branch halfway down.
Then she looked down and saw another tiger below her.
But on the branch was a single berry. She reached out and grabbed it, and ate it.
It was the sweetest berry she had ever tasted.

That’s about where I’m at with being #trans in the US right now.

Fuckit, if my life is in peril from just existing i might as well do whatever the fuck i want.

The BBC has no spine

No, The BBC are true believer TERs. Not having a spine has nothing to do with it.

The Daily Express are also true believers too, and in a long term competition with the Daily Heil for being the most awful newspaper in the UK. This is proven by the blatantly false claims that Petunia has never said anything transphobic.

This was not challenged by the presenter despite the fact that it has never been proven that Ms Rowling has said anything transphobic in her career.

Her comments came despite Ms Rowling never actually having said anything transphobic.

Free speech means not being allowed to say things supportive of transgender people on government supported media.

I have to ask, have they seen her comments that got her a TER label? Seemed pretty clear to me.

They probably just think that’s what we deserve.

Bethany Hamilton, one of the most well-known and popular professional surfers, said she would boycott World Surf League events if the organization moves forward with a policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in the women’s division.

In addition to her surfing career, she is an author and a mentor on her Christian faith, healing, health and relationships

It looks like she hasn’t won since 2014. Maybe it’s a way to retire and keep some relevance.

It’s certainly not because of all the trans women surfers winning championships. Or even just beating her while losing.
