- Reposted by Mara FlintEvery instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

- Reposted by Mara FlintI put together a list of peer-reviewed critiques of The Cass Review, which itself was not peer-reviewed. The media completely ignores these. I’ve been in academia since 1999 & never seen anything as widely criticized as Cass. It is a media/propaganda event, not an academic/scientific one.
- Reposted by Mara FlintSo if I have this right the biggest and most successful child sex trafficking operation was in fact nothing to do with immigrants or the transgender community but absolutely full of our privileged elites? Imagine my shock.

- Reposted by Mara FlintStorytime: @trustfnd.com started because of trans journalists. When unprecedented attacks on trans people escalated last year, I felt like I saw into the future of community-driven journalism—but also saw one big problem: fragmentation. I wanted to build something to fix that.

- Reposted by Mara FlintTime for an apology from Hilary Cass for calling us ‘shroud wavers’, Louis Appleby for rushing out a report minimising the risk and our Health Minister for also minimising the risk and calling those who spoke of MH harms ‘online actors’ when announcing the puberty blocker ban was safe.
- Reposted by Mara FlintI find it deeply troubling the NHS guidance is to not talk about trans kids suicides. Talking about suicide helps people to not take the action. Ignoring it happening makes people more isolated. Mermaids have support for under 20's Spectra helps adults. spectra-london.org.uk/trans-servic...
- Reposted by Mara FlintMore from @ilgaeurope.bsky.social about the landmark decision by the Council of Europe to ban people from homophobic and transphobic torture of children.
- Reposted by Mara FlintInsisting boys must be strong is “gender ideology.” Telling girls to be nurturing is “gender ideology.” Assuming that kids ought to grow up to be heterosexual and get married is “gender ideology.” This gender ideology is everywhere. It just goes unnoticed because society mandates it as “normal.”
- I’d rather tag @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and Wes Streeting (who I assume I must have blocked) - and the whole Labour government, honestly.
- The people across the restaurant are discussing how they can get better results from ChatGPT by using a different AI to take their questions and write better prompts for them. I fear for the future of humanity.
- Sex Matters are a science denying, transphobic hate group. They should never have been allowed to register as a charity, and the fact that they were should be a mark of shame against the Charities Commission. #DeregisterSexMatters
- No organisation existing solely to eliminate trans people should be a charity. #DeregisterSexMatters
- “Court says no to Sex Matters” is big and important news, but “86% of respondents support trans-inclusive arrangements” is the one that really made me smile. After all these years of propaganda, there still aren’t all that many bigots around.
- Reposted by Mara FlintI don't exaggerate when I say that Andrew Wakefield should be tried for mass murder. We'll never know how many people have died or will die as a direct result of his fraudulent study.
- Reposted by Mara FlintI've said this before, but lib commentators want to turn the clock back to one minute before full-blown fascism, with no plan for what happens a minute later
- Reposted by Mara FlintKansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

- Reposted by Mara FlintThis should stop every one of us in our tracks. Stonewall research found that nearly half of young trans people have attempted suicide. Imagine if those were your children, your students, your friends. Wouldn’t you want them to live in a society where they were safe, supported and free to thrive?
- Privatising the railways and the water supply worked so well, after all
- Reposted by Mara FlintThe radical act we are seeing in Minnesota is not fighting ICE in and of itself, but that they fight ICE to protect their community. Fighting facism is not an end unto itself, but a means. We need to extend that to all our projects - WE MUST build a world that provides for ALL in our community.
- Reposted by Mara FlintThe goal of fascism within a liberal state is it ultimately will violently reestablish a status quo of power. It will eventually fail, and in its wake, liberals will step in and claim “we beat facism, all is better now” while inheriting and sustaining this new status quo of social hierarchy.
- Reposted by Mara FlintI am looking for a UK publisher for my book of hard-hitting transgender poetry exploring the culture war; its actors and consequences (sample included in this post). My work is raw. It is upsetting, it is sometimes funny, prophetic, and many are real life stories of the horror of actual events.
