This. And a biopic about Roger Casement. Amazing there hasn’t been one already.

Very sad to hear about Marjane Satrapi

Cf Shauny Boy dressing as Patrick Harvey and repeatedly battering a female mannequin with a baseball bat. It’s hilarious, see, because Patrick Harvey defends trans rights, so he *wants* to do this thing his critic is literally doing!

Agree. But there’s one major difference: in the UK, the government could fix the Supreme Court’s ruling with a single line bill. It simply chooses not to.

With no income other than donations, which are getting rarer, Souad has been unable to get enough food. Omar is getting thinner. He desperately needs nutrients that she simply can't afford, and he's at risk of dying. Please help them if you can. tinyurl.com/4rdnwyzx #Gaza 🍉

The police do treat white working class people like shit. But that’s not the fault of people of colour. Why are we in it?

Do you think any of the media is about to point out that Moldemort likes wearing t-shirts made by one of the lead speakers at a far right riot? Or will that quietly be forgotten about like all of the rest of the far right links with gender critterdom?

And none of this is new. It was there, and in the open, from the very start.

“How will I ever get through this humongous bag of kale?” Ten minutes of cooking later: “Where did all my kale go?”

Every employee should state they are trans and let the workplace's scramble to make unisex facilities that are so much more logical for everyone.

Maybe the real weapons were the people we met along the way

the response to the Henry Nowak murder really shows how instantaneously ‘model minority’ status can be revoked

Once again - the rainbow here symbolises the sun passing through the piss Labour pours on queers while telling them it’s raining

People (e.g. me) wondered how the government would or could legally enforce something so fundamentally incoherent. Trans people said they wouldn’t: they’d rely on vigilantes to do it for them. Trans people were right.

Just a hugely bizarre moment in British politics, as the government casually signs off on the idea that trans people are both dangerous enough that their presence must be constantly policed, but also safe enough for any member of the public to accost.

@robsterowski.bsky.social Was this what you were aiming for when you lined up with Wings Over Scotland - now cheerleading Trump’s Brownshirts murdering people on the streets on Minneapolis - to brand trans people as a threat to women and children, and misogynistic, just for existing?

Seema Malhotra: "Most people have the common sense to step in when necessary, for example when a person of the opposite biological sex enters a single sex facility in error - and when to alert a member of staff." Labour now in the 'lets encourage vigilantes' stage of screwing trans people.

Pat McFadden and Peter Mandelson last May plotting FOR banks, AGAINST Angela Rayner ("agent of destabilisation") , Ed Miliband, Gordon Brown (Because Brown was calling for a big increase in social welfare support to get folk through the cost of living crisis) from latest files

I can only assume that rainbow flag refers to the effect of the sun passing through the piss they’re spraying on trans people while claiming it’s raining

“£60 bread bin” is funny when he spent £2000 on a pair of salt and pepper grinders. Echoes of “Corbyn’s £400 bike”. That’s what a bike that isn’t total rubbish starts at.

Apropos of a long thread I've been in and out of today, this is a very good example of a couple of serious problems with FPTP: One, this man is not fit to be an MP (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Co...) in the first place but there was no way for voters to sack him without also sacking Labour!

If anyone was applying basic logic and consistency Harman would be an un-person *on the Right* - the hitherto reliable MP who'd taken it that bit too far and opened up a breach on the Left with disastrous consequences. But no - she's one of the gang, and one of the gang she must remain.

Now they're pushing a work-around to find the biological sex of a Gender Recognition Certificate holder, warning that to openly ask is criminal.

Brits love the GC movement because its a form of fascism cloying and twee enough for them.

"Parliament are the law-makers. They always have the option to remake the law. Last summer the government was preparing to override a Supreme Court ruling on car dealerships if it went ‘the wrong way’. Emergency legislation was being drafted. But when it came to trans people, they chose not to."

I'm making a special post today for Doaa, who is in urgent need of dental treatment which she can't afford. She's already lost some teeth.
