This was a fun episode and so fun to get a wee shout out. I had forgotten I’d alerted them to Kylie’s Wokeness earlier this year. Imagine going to see Kylie and thinking you’re going to be in the company of conservative, trad people 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve seen Kylie a few times, she’s a joy 🤩

Why are there no limes?

The minister’s legal position on the draft guidance is at odds with the new head of the EHRC who she appointed despite serious concerns about her experience and qualifications for the role…

Ludicrous for the Guardian to badge 'single sex spaces' a key test facing Starmer. It's neither a key test (polling shows it's a voting issue for almost no-one) nor a test for Starmer (it falls to judges to try and work out the disgraceful Supreme Court meant). Still, gotta stir the culture war pot.

Similarly, re the Linehan tweet that got him arrested but then the charge dropped, imagine instead of trans people he'd invited folk to punch Jewish people or black people in the genitals.

👏🏼👏🏼 “I feel that I cannot accept a personal honour because disabled people are being so dishonoured at this time.In fact we are being demonised, dehumanised and scapegoated for political choices and policy failures by consecutive governments.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Suzanne Moore in 2020: "As a feminist, I would argue that gender is socially constructed, and it can be reconstructed." And in 2025: "This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology." Transphobia is the engine that pulls the train of fascism.

Right now, all over our country, there are people being made to deny who they are so as not to create friction or disrupt the time that is supposed to be special, writes Maggie Chapman ✍️ Read here: www.thenational.scot/politi...

It would still be openly prejudiced and actively discriminatory, but if you wanted to merely convey that you wanted to have control over a demographics' movements in public spaces, then you'd use a word like temper, limit, or restrict... Not "kill off"

Yes she was an animal rights activist, but we should honour the dead by highlighting *all* their activism. Bardot faced French courts five times and was convicted on each occasion for “incitement to racial hatred”, and she called Muslims “invaders” who are “destroying us, destroying our country”.

Wow, it's taken her death for me to discover that Brigitte Bardot was a nasty bigot. Openly racist, homophobic and Islamophobic!

The BBC is really showing its arse with its editorial guidelines recommending the use of a pseudoscientific dogwhistle in reporting that mentions trans people. It's important that they're not allowed to continue using fake-scientific insults in peace. New piece: oolong.medium.com/biological-m...

You’ve just opened up a Star Trek Themed Restaurant. What are you calling it?

#onthisdayingayhistory: December 25🧑‍🎄🎅 1982 – Two married US Army men are found, fully clothed, in bed together and are accused of sex. They say they only fell on the bed while drunk, but accept honorable discharges rather than fight the charges and possibly receive dishonorable discharges.

Would be great to get Esse House a little festive donation boost going into the new year. The minimum contribution is a share of this post. Go on. It's Christmas.

No surprise The TERF Express is lying about self-ID in Ireland by making it an issue when it really isn’t in the Republic, so I’ll bring this up yet again. Self-ID and postal codes were introduced in the same week on July 2015. Only the latter has caused problems for some people in Ireland since

Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

In Scotland, we all wear kilts to work instead of suits.

EXCLUSIVE The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”. Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

No Christian movement should welcome those who hate into their spaces, but it seems only the Quakers are prepared to do that. They’ve already repelled an attack on their trans inclusivity, now they’re making it plain that transphobes have no place in their buildings.

Remember, folks, Allison Bailey's baseless, failed attack on Stonewall has taken five years, and cost a six figure sum, mostly raised by crowd funding. I hope that Stonewall have recourse to claim their court costs from her now.

With £1,000,000 now spent Allison Bailey loses again.

I spoke to Novara about the campaign by anti-trans groups to pretend the law now requires a bathroom ban novaramedia.com/2025/12/16/a...

SNP do NOT value you They do NOT respect you They do NOT give a single fuck about you They dont give a fuck about any of us

🎅 Trans Secret Santa is coming to town… again! @transsolidarity.bsky.social are delivering a whopping 896 presents to Trans+ youth all over the UK, who may otherwise feel isolated during this time of year 🧵

The exclusion of trans people from public and academic spaces, removal of protections by human rights institutions, dehumanising language used by state news media, judicial tolerance of trans directed hate crime, withdrawal of medical care: all of this is very familiar to genocide scholars.

So much of the commentary on the FWS judgment has been driven by reflexive responses to the outcome, but there are so many gaps and leaps in its reasoning that it will spawn litigation for years to come - @aoifemod.bsky.social and I flag some failings in judge craft: nilq.qub.ac.uk/index.php/ni...

It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

So I'm going through the BBC archives on trans people to see how people are talked about and I'm at about 2005 now. 1. "Biological" just does not appear until this year 2. Omission of pronouns completely also doesn't occur until this year 3. Only 5 incidents of misgendering so far

🧵🧵🧵 When @rivkahbrown.bsky.social Published her story in Novara Media evidencing that Hilary Cass was already anti-trans before the Cass Review, I was intrigued by the fact that Cass hadn't tried to sue her or Novara. But if this report by @sophiemolly.co.uk is true, and she is advising on... 1/4

I can't believe they didn't talk about Sandie Peggie on Question Time last night. What's going on? Is the BBC scared of the laughable allegation that they've shown pro-trans bias?

everything sarwar is saying could be said to him about his transphobia. fuck him and fuck anyone cheering him on. he's a trump supporting, anti-lgbt+, piece of shit and a starmer lackey. have you seen labour's immigration policies? this is nothing more than two bigots playing team sports.

I wrote a thing. Give it a read, maybe a share. 🙏

LGBT+ folk - stop boosting Libby Brooks just to laugh at the pic of the transphobic gathering she posted today. Earlier in the week she contributed to disinformation about the Peggie Case.

Police warn of 1.2 million child sex abuse victims last year. Imagine if politicians, the media and anti-trans activists put a fraction of their energy in to dealing with this instead of hating trans people... www.lbc.co.uk/article/sexu...

Pippa Crear is a bigots' rights activist.

Sharon Davies is a 'women's rights activist' in the UK sense - ie she mocks trans people on twitter and bigoted client journalists like Pippa lie about it to serve their masters' anti-LGBT+ agenda. These people are scum.

Libby Brooks presenting Peggie as a victim, yet again, instead of questioning why a racist, bigoted, vicious bully is allowed anywhere near staff or patients. Never questioning why nurses have Facebook groups where they discuss patients by name and their health issues. Another column for flushing.
