\u201c@SwipeWright @britishlibrary Humans \ud83d\udc6b\ud83d\udc6c\ud83d\udc6d \u2260 Fish \ud83d\udc20\ud83d\udc1f\n\nThis should not be a hard concept to understand\u201d

\u201c@SwipeWright @britishlibrary Its the sort of agenda-based logic that, on a different issue, makes any variation in the daily weather a result of human-induced climate change.\u201d

\u201c@SwipeWright @AndrewAQLD @britishlibrary I'm also pretty sure that the fish doesn't change sex as a juvenile \ud83d\ude2c\u201d

\u201cHow soon before The Natural History museum writes a post about how it's the *MALE* seahorses that get pregnant so therefore... men can get pregnant too? \n\n\ud83e\udd21\ud83c\udf0e\u201d

\u201cThe British library was forced to delete this tweet about a fish because of transphobes. Yes, you read that correctly. Transphobes attacked the The British Library because they posted a fun fact about a fish.\u201d

\u201c@LGBwiththeT To me any rebranded *for pride month* org who deletes a tweet is showing their performative allyship because they\u2019d leave it there if they didn\u2019t allow people to bully them and really did stand by their words.\u201d

\u201c@LGBwiththeT @MarkyMooUK How are these companies suddenly succumbing to the bullying? It's been going on for years?\n\nWhy are they allowing trans erasure?\u201d

\u201c@munchl4xx @LGBwiththeT Yeah, the back peddling is happening so much that it's emboldening the hassasers.\u201d

\u201c@LGBwiththeT they should not have deleted it @britishlibrary don\u2019t do a Target! stand up for us!\u201d

\u201cthe scariest thing to me is watching businesses cave to transph*bes.\n\n- the british library deleting their thread about fish that can change their sex\n\n- target pulling merch\n\nlike if allies recoil at the first hint of backlash related to queerness, imagine how it is to BE queer\u201d

\u201cLike, if all that\u2019s required to get you to delete your factual content is for some trolls to tweet at you, we\u2019re very quickly going to see a total erasure of queer and queer-coded knowledge.\u201d

\u201c'Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid...'\n\u2014 Written on the Body, Jeanette Winterson\n\nWishing all a happy and\u2026\u201d
