#uksupremecourtruling

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Ok, so I've pretty much given up on my country of birth which is #america

My 2nd country of citizenship, the #uk is slipping into dangerous #amerikkka #fascism with the monstrous #uksupremecourtruling on #transrights.

#Canada election results made me so happy! I still worry about the amount of people that practically voted to be the #51ststate 😬 #elbowsup

Now, #Australia, it's your turn! I know you can do it! Here's to a successful 3rd of May! We're counting on ya! #solidarity

I was switching instances before this as my situation dictates I need a supportive community in that regard. As a trans woman, I'm marginalised, ridiculed and used as a political pawn. See #wokeagenda and #uksupremecourtruling.
I'm disappointed in the comments that I see about this is a FOSS instance not politics. If the FOSS community is that short sighted then feel free to block me and move on. I'll miss Fosstodon but not the #broligarchy and I don't mean everyone btw.

(1/2) Replied to my own original email to my MP to append the following, as it's been spinning in my head all day:

The term "biological woman" is both fundamentally incorrect, and a well known transphobic dog-whistle, designed to invalidate and dehumanise transgender people. The fact that the Supreme Court chose this definition shows that they are either acting from a position of profound ignorance, or alarming political malice.

Well UK, you've done it! This effed up #uksupremecourtruling against the transgender community will have a knock on effect like the #USA. I hope you like #reformuk because that's what you just voted for thanks to the shitty #uksupremecourt. I thought when becoming a UK citizen after leaving the US that I would have some human rights and dignity. So Brits hate the transgender community as well. DEATH BEFORE TRANSITION! 🖕✊

Trans brow, trans chin... The "you can always tell" brigade point to morphological cues they insist define men, yet are actually markers of genetic heritage.

I have a high, flat brow, not because I'm a man, but because I'm half-Norweigan. A high, flat brow is typical of people of Scandinavian descent.

TERFs limit acceptable presentation of a women not only to femininity, but also to a very limited set of Caucasian morphology.

"transten"
(Australian version of the Sten submachine #gun on a pride flag)

Developed in the UK, the simple and inexpensive Sten and its variants were official sidearms for British, Canadian and Australian soldiers during WWII

They were also intensively used by anti-fascist partisans all over Europe and became iconic for the fight against #Nazi Germany

Only Australia's Sten had a unique, somewhat philosophical camouflage finish by default

Feel free to consider "transten" an inspiration regarding today's #UKSupremeCourtRuling
