Tbh there’s nothing deep about JK Rowling’s radicalisation. She liked a transphobic tweet, people got mad at her, and in her arrogance - she kept doubling down until it became all she is. Same thing happened with Linehan. It’s all just egotistical rich people who can’t handle being wrong.

I am pessimistic about what the EHRC guidance will say, but optimistic that the real world impact of it will be minimal. We’re already in a “don’t ask, don’t tell” era; and this isn’t going to change that. Nobody wants to be the gender police.

Burnham has the benefit of being outside of parliament, so people have been able to project whatever politics they want on him. Won’t last long once he has to actually commit to things

Are any Labour MPs going to stand up for Iris Duane or Q Manivannan - or are there going to sit on their hands and let their colleagues just engage in transphobic bullying without challenge?!

“Why do you make everything about the fact that you’re trans?” Because I can’t even walk into Tesco without seeing slurs about me on prominent display ffs

Streeting has well and truly fucked it lmao absolutely no path to the leadership from him, how’s he managed that

new annoying person discovered: cis women with PCOS that thinks trans women having dysphoria about their masculine features invalidates her own womanhood

Was able to speak directly to some representatives from the Home Office about my experience with changing the sex marker on my passport, last year. They seemed very receptive to the idea of clearer guidance for GPs - making it clear what is expected of them, which is (hopefully) good news. 🤞

A tip for Pride organisers: your events list should not include the word “drag” more than it includes the word “trans”.

Nobody’s really considered the possibility of the NEC blocking Burnham again, which is (by far) the funniest timeline

trust me bro just step aside promise we’ll pass proportional representation bro swear down

>post wondering if you could use disability protections under the equality act to fight back against your employer segregating you >”why are you pathologising transness” >”what about people without dysphoria” >”not everyone can afford a diagnosis” >fmstl I’m sorry for trying

Crashing out over people calling Eli a misogynist for calling out Taylor Swift. Just a coincidence that every trans woman in the music industry is labelled that by pop fans - honest!

I grew up learning to hate myself from my peers, my parents, and my body. I was taught to take up as little space as possible and to never show my inner world. But yeah, sure, I was “male socialised” and need to unlearn my inclinations of being too confident and outspoken.

Wes Streeting you should take it further and resign as MP. Wes Streeting you should take it further and leave the country. Wes Streeting you should take it further and

📊 NEW: Among 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Green voters overall and Labour > Green defectors, more people cite support for trans and other minority rights as a major reason than Palestine, housing or the cost of living. Trans rights issues don't decide elections, but they remain a high saliency issue for progressive voters.

Even if she doesn’t run, Rayner choosing this moment to announce that she’s been cleared of wrongdoing - knowing that it’ll be picked up by the media as part of leadership chaos, rather than quietly swept under the rug - is a blinder on her part.

Been way too sleepy and tired recently, so testing out integrating caffeine into my life - and lemme tell ya, I need to *not do that* right before bad trans shit happens; not good for me

The fact that none of these judgements ever acknowledge the humiliation of forcing a trans woman into the men’s or a third space (and instead rely on niceties like “affirming their gender identity”) is so infuriating. Just gaslighting of the highest degree.

another banger from minute cryptic today

drunkenly left myself a video last year telling future me not to watch eurovision. I’ve not let you down, past Lilla, the ten-year streak ended tonight 🫡

On the issue of “Gender Recognition”, the UK ranks 28th - only beating Georgia, Slovakia, Albania, Azerbaijan, Monaco, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Russia. The only reason we’re not lower is because the process of changing your name in the UK is easy.

Challengers (2024)

real ones know that everything starmer’s done is the fault of that one homophobic green candidate in batley and spen 2021

give it to corbyn until end of season

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first

mr starmer, sir, you should punish wesley for his disobedience by passing trans rights immediately

honestly I think I'll cry with joy when he goes. he has terrorised our community for 6 years, slowly escalating over time, and it will be so cathartic to see him finally fall on his face - no matter what happens afterwards

keep seeing so-called journalists flabbergasted to learn how hated Starmer is. they won’t call that the “whitehall bubble” though

bro the whole Starmerite ideology began and end at “winning elections is what matters”. you lost the election, so fuck off

“Children are being taught they have the inalienable right to be trans”

they should’ve just bit their tongue and called it the baby yoda movie, would’ve made ten mandalorillion dollars

getting Catherine West fancams on TikTok, so my faith in the children has been restored - that’s a good bit

Very pleased that I’ve been so anal about using Sec 22 of the GRA to bully my GP surgery into making sure being trans or anything that might out me as trans does not appear on my record at all. Because this is absolutely going to be used to help them segregate us.

Got a video on my TikTok feed of GCSE students counter-protesting their teachers’ strike with signs like “Having a nice day off?” and my blood is boiling

it's so obvious what Labour need to do to win. they need to be woke. you can be woke and dogshit and still win 32% of the national vote in England (2019) and in the current state of play, that would put them in the lead by 6 points

we drained the swamp and all we found beneath it was a shrivelled up harriet harman

don’t love my job atm but it is sick being in an office full of 25-40 year olds who all vote green & can recite each party’s stance re trans rights on command. they have been trained well.

depressing that Reform got 24 seats in Newcastle BUT - Greens also getting 24 seats!! (up from 2) - Lib Dems biggest party (25) - Labour getting SPANKED (45 > 2)

as expected, literally every party except the Tories can beat Reform in Jesmond lmao

Reform not doing as well as polls suggested in the North East. They might nab Gateshead by a hair, but it wasn’t supposed to be close. Greens doing very well.

the upper class champagne drinking Green Party has won all 3 seats in the incredibly posh ward of Byker

The biggest takeaway from this election, which nobody in the media will devote any time to, is that FPTP simply does not work in a country where there are at least 5 viable parties.

Well that’s that settled then! There’s no way a man who says he will not resign will resign

I am waking up to headlines that are revealing only an emerging picture; how could I have possibly foreseen this?

Therapist asked me to stop doing the thing where I “make everything about being trans”; and I have never felt such a fast breakdown of trust…

I have a really hard time believing that some of these North East councils that have zero sitting Tories are about to elect 20+ Reform councillors. We’ll see, I guess

It’s going to be hard to do “we vote for the MPs, not the leader” discourse at the same time as “it doesn’t matter if MPs vote while drunk, they just do what the whip says”

sunderland fan who loves trans men because he’s never seen so much hatred for newcastle united
