Eight years of loving and supporting someone, centering them in your life, only to be character assassinated, misgendered, and discarded in a FB post.

It's not actually an AITA post, I know exactly who TA is. It's not exactly r/relationships either.. but it deserves to go to the internet for judgement. If it wouldn't be immediately traceable 😬

3) Mutual aid 🤝 This goes beyond individual crowdfunders. Talk to people already doing this. Ensure people in your community are not being left alone to struggle, and work on ways to get resources (not just money, also time) from those who have it to those who need it.

2) Prepare 📦 Think how your local community will support people if anti-trans laws continue to be passed. Talk to experienced activists already doing this work - don't reinvent the wheel. Work on getting people access to healthcare. Develop arrestee support networks.

1) Make a noise 🗣 If you still want to use formal channels, contact your MP. Turn up in person if you can and take up their time. Don't take no for an answer. Beyond this, reach out to your local activists. Organise a protest, get on the streets. Resist this.

Ways to actually improve bathroom experiences: Make them accessible to everyone! Provide period products everywhere! Have baby changing stations in all of them!

TW: transphobia . . There's still an implicit "men are dangerous" message, which plays straight into the "evil testosterone makes people violent" strain of transphobia. Y'all need to listen and educate yourselves on the bathroom experiences of trans men/assumed masc n-b people 😒

"Women will have to share bathrooms with (traditionally masculine) trans men!" is not the gotcha you think it is 🤦🏻‍♂️

Also, whilst I'm here, saying "bisexual got caught because it contains sex" is biphobic af. We're the B in LGBT 🤦🏻‍♂️😒

We also believe that the word "s£x" is banned - including any reference to s£xuality (which is why bis£xu@l without the pound sign also got caught in our initial tweet)

Important thread on the deboosting of tweets with LGBTQIA+ related words! But replacing letters with numbers or punctuation is completely inaccessible for screen readers! Here are screenshots with accessible alt text, TW for homophobic slur in image 2.

Some preliminary testing indicates that Twitter is deboosting tweets containing certain words, including preventing them being shown as previews in DMs. Current suspected words include (without letters not punctuation): - Tr@ns - G@y - Lesbi@n - Qu££r - Bisexu@l Try yourself.
