"The only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them. Anti-trans campaigners have been making legal threats, trying to force trans people out of public life. They thought after the SC decision the whole world would suddenly agree with them. But they've misunderstood the law, as well as human nature"

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.

🚨 BREAKING: Chancellor continues freeze on housing benefit – missing a crucial opportunity to prevent homelessness. As rents continue to rise, this will directly lead to homelessness for many of us. #Budget2025

A very, very important peer-reviewed empirical study published in the academic journal Pediatrics shows that hormone treatment of young trans people decreases suicidality very significantly. Doubtless it will be ignored by Simonoff et al, who are not even measuring this in the “Pathways” study.

These people are truly batshit. Absolutely everyone and their dog understands they're obsessive TERFs but when it suits they become smol bean journos who merely have an "informed" interest.

*sad trombone noise*

I'm reading through the white paper or whatever it is. RESTORING ORDER AND CONTROL: A statement on the government’s asylum and returns policy www.gov.uk/government/p...

Proud to back @transliberationgroup.org.uk — a brilliant grassroots group fighting for trans liberation within Your Party. Their demands are essential for real party democracy. With trans people under unprecedented threat in the UK, I’m proud to always stand with the trans community.

The worst thing about this BBC crisis is it provoking a legion of dullards to wheel out the "it's attacked by left and right, it must be doing something correct!" take

I cannot believe I paid money to go watch this woman several times.

God @cmatbaby.bsky.social is cool.

TERFs are so astoundingly thick.

On the left, Skys sports correspondent saying that away fans are normally banned when they've caused violence before but "that's not the case here" On the right, Maccabi 'fans' beating a man unconscious in Athens earlier this year.

Could literally anyone ask him directly why he thinks this shit is worth defending? His brain would explode.

It's very cool to see all the "it's racist to conflate British Jews with Israel" Zionists racing to suggest a bunch of extremist racist thugs are just smol bean Jews trying to go about their lives and banning them is akin to Nazism

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Starmer again invokes "leaders of the Jewish community" in support of further crackdowns on anti-genocide protests, and absolutely no-one in our fearless media points out that this rather conflates Israel with British Jews.

One of the favourite pastimes of TERFs is smugly suggesting you read the Supreme Court ruling, then immediately revealing that they have not in fact read it when you ask them specific questions about it.

"It's wrong to conflate British Jews with Israel. Anyway here to discuss developments is a random British Jewish person who is a total wingnut for Israel."

Today @theobserveruk.bsky.social has published a column suggesting that the protests that happened re: the kidnapping of the flotilla were, in fact, celebrating the Manchester attack. Absolutely unreal.

Lord, grant me the confidence of a mediocre dullard who strides into literally any discussion about trans people and barks "WHAT RIGHTS DON'T TRANS PEOPLE HAVE THEN?"

It shouldn't be so refreshing to hear a politician saying it's wrong to conflate British Jews with the state of Israel but here we are.

As always, absolutely no-one in our media will ask our politicians why they believe anti-Zionism is racism against British Jews, but also that it's wrong to conflate Israel with British Jews.

Amazing.

Team Zarah all the way and yes, she should probably just join the Greens at this point.

“we’re here because any path that avoided this would have required a fight. It would have involved being screamed at by angry, insane radicalized idiots. And powerful people in politics and the press decided that they weren't up for that.”

"JEMBY COMBYNNNNNNNN!"

I see Wes is just aiming to repeat Starmer's leadership campaign trick of lying through his teeth and pretending to be left-wing.

I know we're not talking about two discrete groups here anyway, but the commonalities of the far-right and TERFs are astounding. Endlessly barking thought-terminating lines picked up from bigger kids, clearly getting a buzz from juvenile cruelty, always wanting to dominate.

Totally missed that Roisin Murphy has been having another transphobic meltdown for several days. NOT NOW ROISIN!

Charlie Kirk: “God’s perfect law says gays should be stoned to death.” Liberals: “This is an honorable man who did politics the right way. Through debate, not calls to violence.”

You just have to laugh at the lefty blokes cosplaying as Lenin and suggesting that not rolling out the red carpet to bigots is going to prevent Your Party from being the vanguard of the working-class.

You can honestly understand why someone would think Hussain was an op to destroy Your Party before it even begins, but the mundane truth is he's just profoundly unpleasant and very stupid.

Yes

Vote Green

I'm certainly dubious about Mothin Ali choosing to express kinship with Adnan Hussain immediately after another transphobic meltdown from the latter, but seeing folk from Labour and the Lib Dems attacking him as 'proof' the Greens are transphobic is a really quite insane level of brass neck.

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

"Your Party: Here to radically shake-up British politics with 'Vote for the least shite option'"!

After days of disingenuous "I care about trans rights but let's wait and see" from one of those branding complainants about Adnan Hussain's bigotry 'wreckers', 'destroyers', an op and all the rest, we finally get to "shut up or you'll help Reform". This party is sounding more like Labour every day.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Yeah that benefit of the doubt for Your Party getting to a good position on LGBTQ rights is vanishing pretty swiftly. They're going to kill it before it even launches.

One of the funniest things about transphobes is that 99% of the time, when you ask them a question that isn't easily addressed with one of the asinine lines they've picked up from the bigger kids, their brains visibly malfunction and they immediately just resort to abuse.

On what planet can Taylor Swift say this, in the context of many people asking her to speak up about Gaza and criticising her for hanging out with MAGA folk, and it doesn’t cause outrage?!

I know I shouldn't be surprised by the UK media but the bulk of it presenting this flag bullshit as 'patriotic Brits' is totally off the scale. It should destroy any lingering notions anyone may have that they're not actively inciting the far-right.

These people are so profoundly stupid.

Zarah Sultana responding to the argument that a fully member-led party may be chaotic and unrepresentative.

We will never descend into the gutter of blaming minorities for the problems in our society. It is the unity of all communities that can take on the rich and powerful — and win. My piece for @islingtontrib.bsky.social. www.islingtontribune.co.uk/article/corb...
