Here is the bad news…
…if it’s Monday, it must be time for the cis to obsess over every aspect of trans lives. Again
In a week when trans folk reacted with concern at a trio of new news stories that hint at yet more controversy facing the UK community, we should console ourselves with the thought that it could have been worse. Much worse…
Whew! For once, the week in trans news has been good. Well, not bad. Or at least, less than dreadful.
I know. How can I possibly say that when every day brings new awfulness? Look on the bright side. J K Rowling has launched her cross-dressing book, hit her sales target, and suddenly her trans tweeting has dried up. Not that the two events are remotely related. Just, coincidental.
Liz Truss is once more engulfed in cheese. And fish. And trade deals.
And the gender ludicrous? As women in Poland have been taking to the streets to protest, quite literally, for their lives, the four horsewomen of the gender apocalypse have been complaining that Tampax talked about “people who bleed” and not “women”. Because, of course, basing your political ideology on a song, Only Women Bleed, by a guy with long flowing hair who just happens to be called Alice is so on message!
