The people who wanted you to hate immigrants, Muslims and trans people will never be ‘happy’. There’ll never be a point where they say ‘great! The country is a perfect amount of racist and transphobic!’ They always require a scapegoat. It’s disabled ppl and Sikhs today. Tomorrow it could be you.

its not even what Farage is saying, its the fact there isn't universal derision and disagreement from the people who are meant to keep us safe. They are thinking of not upsetting all the racists in Makerfield who couldn't give a shit about this country anyway

Crucially not the main point in all this trans EHRC stuff but it’s crazy that Labour’s “solution” largely seems to be make underpaid and under respected retail staff play as gender police in their culture war.

most cis people, even the well-meaning ones, are fundamentally incapable of meeting this moment. the transphobia is just too deep. they have to face it, understand it, consciously remove it from themselves. too few do.

God, Spider-Noir is so good Finally, some fun and interesting capeshit

The current transphobic moral panic spent years attacking cis women for being too good at their jobs and deciding that they must be men as a result. Where was the common sense when Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-Ting were attacked?

How are Seema Malhotra’s comments not inciting a vigilante toliet police? "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."

The Guardian kicking off Pride month by celebrating how rape survivors will be left hung out to dry And it's good because they're trans and thus deserve nothing but ridicule and abandonment joy

the only people who give a shit about trans rights in the UK are -trans people and our friends/family -bigots that's it. that's the whole list.

Happy pride! We're back with a new bundle, majority transfem and majority lesbian, with contributors from Ukraine, India, Thailand, and more. Feed and house queer creatives this month and get amazing, well-curated art! #lesfic itch.io/b/3691/brigh...

I'm not sure "hey, we're not just banning trans people from toilets, we're also banning them from vital support after they've been sexually assaulted or raped" is exactly the flex The Guardian seem to think it is. Fucking vile humans.

the government's own impact assessment highlights that @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is pro-rape every time they allow experts to assess what they're doing they get told that they're wrong and... they carry on regardless they belong on trial. im not being hyperbolic. they are knowingly persecuting us

Public service union @unison.org.uk has called the EHRC code of practice "completely unworkable" and urges members to share real-life examples of impact on the workplace 👇 Read more: https://www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-the-lgbtqia-news-30/#%F0%9F%93%84-ehrc-code-of-practice-fall-out

The House of Commons yesterday debated the laying of the EHRC code of practice. Functionally, it didn’t do very much, there was no opportunity to dis-apply it, but it was an important opportunity to get oppositional voices into the media and build awareness. No Green MPs turned up.

I WROTE THIS! Spider-Noir is the best superhero show of the decade besides maybe Loki. A stylish, engaging, and incredibly fun show that proves what creatives can do when Sony just stays out of the way and lets them cook. Also Nic Cage as Spider-Man BANGS! Go watch all 8 episodes!

Remember when (some) Star Wars fans got mad because a black woman fought well against Vader (and yet died) because she was “too powerful”? Like…

Ronald Reagan died 6969 days ago today. 1 reskeet is 1 piss on his grave

What a repulsive article. I’m really pleased though - out left of centre party and paper are absolutely agreed people like me deserve to be stripped of every right and dignity, but they’ll tell me why I deserve it very politely.

The level of evidence needed before a pro-trans policy can be implemented? Infinite. The level of evidence required to get this Labour government to roll back trans people’s rights? Negligible. Why? The Telegraph, BBC and Mail demand hate and the Guardian publishes apologia to justify it:

Gotta love the way mediocre cis white men will wade into trans topics, believing their mediocrity, cisness and whiteness gives them expert knowledge…only to flounder at the most basic history or theory lesson

1. A civil servant who helped draft the GRA confirms that it was intended that trans people count as their acquired sex for all practical purposes and that ideas like 'biological sex' never entered into it. Why didn't the Supreme Court ask for evidence on the intention of the GRA when weakening it?

Trans girl finds a sentient estrogen patch that attaches itself to her and gives her super powers

(This is why masculinity is always in crisis, because it's in a perennial state of needing to be 'proved' through ritualistic patriarchal violence against the abject and effeminised. What is 'manly' is often synonymous with what is reactionary.)

Guardian: This brutal new drama about the resurfacing of homophobia which is scary, and transphobia, which we agree with 😉

I don’t think anything sums up the absolute fucking state of The Guardian like allowing a review of a queer drama to be written by an author who misgenders a trans character. (Then again, who knows, I suppose the writer of this could be Russell T Davies’ friend.)

People who hate out of disgust, will grasp any convincing justification handed to them, regardless whether it's true, moral, or rational. It's difficult to argue against a feeling someone has hidden behind inherited propaganda. Difficult, too, for them to see the person the propaganda has erased.

There’s a certain genre of TERF that’s eaten their own farts so much that they think the Men’s and Women’s section of a clothing store being too close constitutes a hate crime

The reason the UK is a service-oriented, low-investment, low productivity, low wage economy is because of that project to weaken labour. It's not an accident of history, or a moral failing by the British people. It was done by design and there is no plan to change it.

The Milburn report has to be seen in its historic context as the last stage of the central neoliberal project. The Thatcher economic revolution wasn't about deindustrialisation or the City Big Bang (epiphenomena) but about reducing the power of labour relative to capital.

Conservatives are only able to get so far because the average person isn't aware that a country's economy is nothing like handling household finance Just don't tell them that part and act like they're the same so you can trick them

DEAR LGBs WITHOUT THE Ts… Recently, your hero Graham Lineham referred to well-known gay journalist @owenjones.bsky.social as a “Twink”. You may or may not be aware that this is a “socially acceptable” euphemism for f*ggot or p*ff. Just so you know who your friends are… Have a nice day‼️

A former aide to a Labour MP has avoided a jail sentence after he admitted possessing more than 500 indecent images of children.... Give a bj and dont tell them you are trans = jail time F*cks sake...... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Big Sippy Wanted to draw a terf exploding to celebrate pride month

The questions are actually quite meaningful. If you can participate, do have a look. Cal needs more responses.

THIRD THOUGHT OF THE DAY… REMEMBER… 40% of the men arrested last year for rioting to “protect women & girls” from “immugnunts” had convictions for domestic abuse… They weren’t worried about protecting women & girls, they were just worried that someone was going to move in on their property.

"and we all kind of sigh and put up with each other" Literally the opposite of what Gender Critical people do to trans people.

Cis men, especially cis white men, dont seem to get they still have privilege of being cis, being men and of being white Russel davies is a prime example The cis, white man is always lecturing everyone else on how to behave around their own oppressors

Photo from the anti-toilet ban demo in Manchester today.

You do actually gotta speak up and say no that is fucking wrong and we’re not actually gonna sigh and get on and tolerate bigoted ideology

You cant deal with bigotry by agreeing to disagree or live and let live, cause bigots dont just let us live or allow us our truths. Its a belief in progress drained in comfort and a naive belief that humanity always gets better if you just wait long and politely enough

Fuck em

Russell T Davies needs to understand that the prime objective of GC ideology is the eradication of trans people It's not "women's rights" which happen to conflict with trans rights It's not that they genuinely believe in "biological sex" which happens to conflict with trans rights It's just hate

Absolutely this! London Trans Pride went from less than 10,000 a few years ago, to more than 100,000 last year, with NO massive corporate sponsorship.

By the way, if you're curious how the horror community feels watching these movies clean up at the box office: we're fucking elated. In horror, rising tides raises all boats. We're all rooting for each other. After the lean box office of last fall, this spring has been refreshing and exciting.

I don’t want a vaginoplasty anymore. I’m getting a cloaca instead

Huge amount of daily newspaper output for years now has been “I relentlessly behave like an abysmal arsehole about absolutely everything, and nobody pats me on the head and says Well Done”. Or, alternatively, “I was acting like an aggro dickhead and people told me to fuck off, it’s totalitarian”

we may think statements like this aren’t enough and don’t matter, but an extremely normie, super-Christian woman I work with is *obsessed* with Pedro Pascal and completely reworked her priors regarding trans rights solely because of his opinions on the matter

The health department’s top official, appointed by Wes Streeting, was a shareholder at a private equity-owned children’s care home business, which imposed sharp fee increases on local authorities.

Can all the people mad about public toilets tell me where they managed to find a single operational public toilet?
