As most of u already know, both my boyfriend and his father (Jonny and Phil) died in March 2020. Took me forever to find, but I've finally tracked down their little plaque thing at Elland Road, meaning that now I've started going to Leeds matches, we can spend match days together

So the last time I drank alcohol was on Christmas Day 2021. I've now reached my personal record, and not drunk alcohol for an entire year, for the first time since I was 10 years old (yes, you read that correctly). Here's to many more 😀

@WhereTrueLoveIs Are people actually unaware there's more than 5 pride flags, so not all can be included in the graphic? It's not discrimination to not have the lesbian flag colours included one time. The ace flag isn't included, yet they're clearly not being acephobic (as an asexual person)

@BBCMOTD Eric Cantona literally dropped kicked someone in the head whilst wearing studs. Mitrovic shoved a ref, and he didn't get any injuries at all. Mitrovic should absolutely be punished for being aggressive towards an official, but it's not at all an equivalent offence??

@kitholburn @theyasminbenoit Asexuality isn't a symptom of, or related to, body dysmorphia. She can show as much cleavage as she likes, it doesn't mean she experiences sexual attraction and/or has an interest in sex. Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction or a lack of interest in sex - so not dysmorphia

@Shelbykinsxo are they adding medical equipment on to a non disabled person to make them into 'monsters'/scary etc? if so, yeah the implications of that are inappropriate. If it's a disabled person wanting to incorporate their medical devices into an image, then there may be more nuance there

@MusicSolitaire That even if I did ID as female, I still wouldn't be a lesbian as I'm exclusively attracted to men. So their whole argument about me being an 'abused lesbian' starts to fall a bit flat as I'm not abused, and don't like women. And am in fact a man.

@GaiusBaltar18 @o_burbidge @Lewis_Ilsley it does make sense to build everything as if we're all disabled. imagine you buy a house that elderly parents or grandparents can't get into? Or if you became disabled somehow? What about your disabled friends visiting? And why should disabled people have less housing options?

@RevRichardColes As a trans person - this is really disappointing to see. Trans youth have committed suicide, and named her as the cause. She is being used, and cited, in anti trans arguing points. There isn't two sides to this debate, and as an LGBT+ person, you should know that

@transguyenergy it depends on the person - e.g. if they're bi, I need to make sure they don't view me as both male and female, as I've had a lot of bi people explicitly tell me that's why they're attracted to me. Also, I monitor their language around body parts (1/?)
