Hey, thank you for participating! Feel free to leave a link to your post in the prompts posts if you want.
The Killjoys art is gorgeous, thanks for linking.
I don't really follow any type of Olympics but the opening ceremony does sound intriguing. I had a quick look and there seems to be some videos around, though none that I can currently watch in this country.
Ugh, I completely agree with you re the transphobic rhetoric that has gained ground everywhere but is also particularly noticeable in UK media. It's fearmongering and prejudice without any basis (transwomen are very high risk of victimisation, not of offending!). I don't know if you're aware but there's been an increase in misleading media and baseless, time-consuming freedom of information requests re Stonewall, targeting organisations (including many public sector ones) that are signed up to their Diversity Champions programme. It is purely driven by organised transphobia. Stonewall's statement if you're interested: https://www.stonewall.org.uk/about-us/news/stonewall-statement-diversity-champions-programme
