Trans. Woman. Two words. "trans woman" shows that this is just a kind of woman, like tall, blonde or green-eyed. "Transwoman" has and will be used to say that we are a separate thing from women. Trans women are a kind of woman, pass it on.

I don't want to identify, name or doxx him, but sending huge love and shelter to that M&S employee for being a good, decent & better human. Really hope they're ok and that this shitstorm - not one bit of it their fault or cause - passes for them.

Disabled Brits have been left to die, ignored entirely by society, for as long as I remember. Austerity caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths, mostly disabled people in poverty. They’ve always been a scapegoat, I remember being told as a kid that they’re a drain on society.

It may seem silly, but seeing "Lynda" on this post made me smile like I haven't in a while. Also thinking I'll be less of a reply gal from now on and actually start making posts

I've talked before about my weird discomfort with my name. Finally admitted (to myself as well) I've secretly wanted to be Lynda, rather than Linda and it's felt wrong whenever I write it down, especially using Lin (😖) for short So I'm making the change and will be making it legal in short order.

Reform being shit Part 23324

📌REPEATING: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported near enough.

If true (which I highly doubt for reasons James lists below) this means Russian spies are doing a better job of holding Farage to account than our own politicians and media.

I'm going to keep banging this drum because the press are absolutely going to try this narrative: Keir Starmer is/was not a helpess passenger on Britian's road to the far-right. He has been its most active contributor.

Thinking about dying my hair dark purple, but concerned I might end up looking like Dot Cotton gained a lot of weight.

So: * he remembers that the test had a math problem * he doesn't remember what it was * but he remembers that it was very difficult (for him) * so he makes up what he thinks a very difficult math problem looks like But what was the *actual* math problem on that test? Subtract 7 from 100.

Trans women have always been women, and always will be. That was true before any court ruling, any political debate, any newspaper front page. It remains true now.

Starmer was elected on promises of improving a country in shambles, and what he has proceeded to do is ignore the most pressing concerns to instead fixate on a petty, cruel, and fundamentally inhuman agenda of scapegoating immigrants, policing bathrooms, and tearing away support from the vulnerable.

The Labour government has just further emboldened the worst people on the planet to intimidate, harass and threaten any woman they see in a toilet who doesn't meet their weird standards of femininity. The most transphobic government the UK has ever had.

The most important response when anyone says that a toilet ban is “unenforceable”; “Assholes will be deputized” It will be enforced by violent rightwing men entering women’s toilets after anyone who “looks” trans. Cis & trans women will be assaulted in the ladies. This is a feature not a bug.

They don't have a front bench. Reform are not the government or the opposition, despite the BBC indulging their fantasy that they are.

Bessie bown. My whole family called dressing gowns that for years, still do sometimes out of habit. Eventually I discovered it was my fault, I said it that way when I was tiny and it stuck and caught on. I've even caught my ex-fella calling it that occasionally.

No, they're REALLY bad for doing stuff like this. That they've done some stuff that Labour government with an enormous should do does not compensate for the truly unforgivable things they've done.

Are people seriously still doing the "he's only saying that to appeal to the reform voters and centrists to get voted in but he's totally progressive really and won't actually do that stuff"? The exact same shit they argued with Starmer at the GE. Am I stuck in a confession dial or something?

in Star Wars (1977) when Luke and Han are pretending to transport prisoner Chewie, after Chewie smacks the guard, it's Han! who yells "look out he's loose!" and Luke follows with "He'll tear us all apart!" as Luke and Han are already smoking stormtroopers which is just hilarious and wonderful

Every time you get a new chronic illness, you should be assigned a buddy who's already (unfortunately) well experienced in it... because most of our doctors aren't very helpful.

Like this discourse round started with a snide comment about trans women not "taking to the social obligations of being women well." Nobody should take to gendered obligations well! Fuck that shit and fuck you if you think trans women are uniquely obliged to smile and eat shit like good little women

Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting both went to Graham Linehan's defence after he was arrested for urging violence against trans people in public, so if you vote for Labour UK you are telling trans people that their safety and lives are the price they must pay for your vote.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in ages

Beyond the overwhelming pong of dodginess hanging over this entire saga, I do find myself wondering exactly how many houses one man can own before he finally stops pretending to be the voice of the bloke down the pub.

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Turns out socialism works.

Wes Streeting just gave your address, your ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, if you are cis or trans, if you've ever had an abortion, an addiction, are disabled in anyway and a million other pieces of info about you, to a far right tech company the UK government has no control over.

I am very, very worried about our direction of travel.

In two years Keir Starmer’s government has tried to rob Disabled people of help, kept children in poverty, trashed nature protection, restricted peaceful protest, helped arm genocide, and moved to scrap jury trials. He says that Greens exploit despair. He has created it. We offer only hope.

"I'm going to prove them wrong again, here." IT'S ALL EGO. "I feel a responsibility to deliver on the manifesto" Oh really? Like this one? #Starmer

One of the people Keir Starmer has brought back to help fix things gets confused between DMs and tweets. Perfect. 10/10.

Meghan Markle was hated for being Black (and being romantically involved with a white Royal). Keir Starmer is hated for his attacks on disabled and trans people and immigrants and SEND and all the rest. No-one chooses their skin colour. Using power to attack minorities is definitely a choice.

kiosks selling Farage’s branded gin by Tuesday. We really thought we had a chance, didn't we? But no. Seven percent. It’s basically a mandate for total cultural revolution. Anyway, I have to go now. My latte is getting cold and I need to find a more absorbent pride flag. We've

sure Keir Starmer is currently packing his bags at Downing Street because a guy who once campaigned primarily on "bringing back real lightbulbs" just won a seat in a ward with a 22% turnout. The "Woke National Agenda" is basically over. Expect all libraries to be replaced by

municipal budgets will be seamless. I can't wait to see how Cllr. "Baz_Not_Bottling_It_69" balances the social care deficit while simultaneously "Stopping the Boats" from a landlocked district council office in the East Midlands. And let's not forget the big promises! I’m

from the deepest, darkest corners of Facebook comment sections and "recruited" via what I assume was a very rigorous process of checking if they own a Union Jack waistcoat, are now in charge. I’m sure the transition from shouting at clouds to managing multi-million-pound

They’ve managed to snag a staggering 1,300 councillors. Out of... checks notes... 18,000. That’s a cool 7%. Watch out, world: the 93% of us who aren't them are officially shaking in our Birkenstocks. It’s just so intimidating to think that these new public servants, hand-picked

force of my lefty tears. I “woke” this morning after two hours sleep, crying into my Taylor Swift duvet. I mean, how could we possibly recover? Reform UK has staged a total, unequivocal coup of our local democracy.

Oh, the absolute devastation in the air today. I hope you’re all doing okay. I personally haven’t been able to stop sobbing into my triple-shot oat milk latte since the news broke. My rainbow flag is currently soaking wet, not from the British rain, obviously, but from the sheer

Also no. It got from a 94 to a 35 because Chinese gamers are using reviews as feedback for changes. If you only take English reviews, it went from a 94 to a 93 or so

So they liked the game, but then completely flipped their opinion because they saw her name in the credits? I don't think he makes the point this guy thinks he's making.

Why does it look like Rachel Reeves is officiating a wedding between Keir Starmer and Gordon Brown

He's going to go too late, isn't he, and leave us to pay the price for his self-interest? Keir 'Biden' Starmer.

The words "I take responsibility" are not some magical incantation. Uttering them is not actually taking responsibility. "Taking responsibility" for Starmer must mean standing down, and letting someone else try to rescue something from the historic opportunity he was given in 2024 and has wasted.

Labour fans ask yourselves why you and your party spent your time campaigning against the left if Reform was the real enemy

I can’t stop thinking about the woman on Instagram who read her Reform supporting mother the actual Reform manifesto only for her mum to tell her it was ‘anti reform propaganda’. That is both terrifying and a bit funny.
