Urgent call to action for UK-based people.

The UK government is debating an amendment to a bill on Wednesday that would be the equivalent of making every trans person wear a pink triangle.

It would revert all of their identity documents to the sex assigned at birth, regardless of GRC or transition "status". It is a breach of the European Court's 2004 Goodwin vs. UK judgement, a violation of the human right to privacy and dignity. It is an appalling and ideological attack on trans rights that would make it impossible to live as a private transgender citizen in the UK.

(credit to @/safespacebristol for the above)

Opposition amendments are usually voted down. However, the Labour party is transphobic. It has supported and actively pushed attacks on trans rights. It has been supported by anti-trans hate group Sex Matters, among others, who have been flooded with far right money from the US. This could pass. Contact your MP, flood their inboxes. Call them.

If you ever wondered what you would have done in 1930-33 Germany, you're doing it right now.

Please. Help.

I've been seeing stardew inspired botanical prints all around the place, so thought I'd try my own hand at it! Winter had to include a few more of the special crops than originally intended, but I still love it tbh. What season is your favourite in stardew valley?

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3

The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.

Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.

Everyone's comments?

"Why did they block the doors and stop the train? So selfish" Selfish were workers who refused to do their job.

"What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently? They shouldn't have stopped the train" It wasn't the disabled people's fault, it was the workers who were negligent.

"Why didn't they just wheel themselves down those steps?" They shouldn't have to risk their (expensive) chairs just because people didn't do what they were paid to do.

"If I had been in that train I would've been pissed, how dare you stop it" And you probably wouldn't have even thought about fixing the problem yourself, would you?

"Entitled assholes" Ok I'll leave you stranded in a train with everyone who could help you get down outright refusing to. Let's see who's an entitled asshole now.

If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.

So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.

Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.
