Happy International Women’s Day everybody! As Allies, we need to show solidarity for our trans friends today
IWD is for all women. No excuse for pricks like JK Rowling to hijack it with hate. If your *Feminism* is diminishing Women, then you are a misogynist
Trans rights always

@bsmrocks
if we’re playing the ‘what about the children’ card, here’s a statistic: Su*c*de is the highest among transgender youth amongst any other youth group- because of hate from people like you and the fact they can’t access vital gender affirming surgery. Children are dying
Someone explain why there successful punk bands, after years of making social change and politics intrinsically part of their brand:
Suddenly ‘not wanting to get political’ over Gaza.
2+2= what, 5?
Do better
Journalists like
@emmabwilkes
who have fought for a platform in the industry to be able to give Women and Queers in music a voice, is inspiring. Bigotry can’t stop positive change being incited through journalism.

I wanted to share my K! interview with
@Lambrini_Girls
, but the TERFs have already done that for me. But there is an issue here that is bigger than me and I wanted to address it, so I wrote something. This is all I'm going to say. I'm going to be calm.
The dehumanising language used by the perpetuators, mirrors the press’ and our government’s dehumanising rhetoric towards trans people.
It’s clear that transphobia was a factor in Brianna Ghey’s murder - denying this is product of the systemic fuelling of transphobia in the UK
Thank you

for hosting our headline last night.
Our scum Tory government enable the siege and slaughter to continue. They care about one thing and one thing only: capital. Ceasefire now.
Power to people. Power to unions. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
A disappointing example of a powerful industry head terrified of authentic self expression. He would rather attack individuals trying to affirm it then address their own prejudice. Oh boo boo Graham Linehan you’ve got to shit on others in order to stay relevant. Suck my balls.
A paper showing that Trans kids who are supported and affirmed in their identities, have higher rates of happiness and better mental well-being ❤️🏳️⚧️

No that’s not a fact that’s literally just a lie: The largest nongovernmental survey by KFF asked more than 500 transgender adults and the vast majority of respondents noting that living as a gender outside the one assigned at birth has increased their satisfaction in life.
Last night I opened the pit but slipped and face-planted the floor
Music stops and I'm just laying in a huge circle pit consisting of only me face first on the floor, half naked with a crowd staring in total silence and I am now ready for my joker origin story moment thank you x
Cass review rejected 98% of studies submitted because they didnt fit into this hateful narrative. Healthcare decisions *cannot* be made off the back of enforced anti- trans rhetorics
If we are to be allies, we need to write to our MP, go to protests, call out this bullshit ok!

America we bring our slutty toilet music to a city near you.
Shows marked with an *Asterix* are not headlines, they are supporting Amyl and the Sniffers xxx
Misogyny is a epidemic within music. Objectification, risk of safety and generally nobody viewing women/enby people as *actual* musicians
This culture is so long established and yet everyone still wonders why so many girl/queer bands get so much hate?!
TW: Boys in the Band music video is out now on YouTube
This song is about abuse on the music scene, which is as prevalent as ever.

What is it about the support authentic self expression from minority groups scares you? How does that affect your life in any way? You people aren’t Martyrs- you are literally the problem. Queers aren’t the extremists here- you are.
Also Vivienne Westwood shop playing Mr Lovebomb on rotation is double slay I love the idea of people shopping for high fashion items over our unhinged screams of resent
