Callback to the Stonewall statement about the Trump Admin's Executive Orders where they only referred to the trans community as "a vulnerable group of people". And it's still up. bsky.app/profile/ston...

The new Chair of Stonewall, Kezia Dugdale, on JK Rowling (www.theguardian.com/politics/202...).

LOL. LMAO, even [Telegraph]

"A Scottish man has admitted plotting to hack into at least a dozen companies to steal $8m (£5.9m) in virtual currency from American victims." [Sunday Telegraph] He is facing 22 years in prison.

Every day when I go through the papers it's just story after story of cis men murdering and abusing cis women and then you turn the page and it's EVIL TRANNIES MUST BE STOPPED TO PROTECT WOMEN. There's never a headline about stopping cis men.

We got emergency legislation in the UK because puberty blockers, that harmed no-one, were so 'dangerous. Where is the emergency legislation for this? [Mail on Sunday]

Mail on Sunday

Pages 2 and 3 of the Mail on Sunday today, as the world burns, is a double-page spread on Jack Whitehapp's wedding.

Men don't need to pretend to be women to assault women in 'women only' spaces - example #9,756

"A man accused of trapping a cleaner in a train station toilet and sexually assaulting her has been granted bail. "David Campbell (31) appeared at Laganside Magistrates Court, charged with sexual touching and unlawful imprisonment." [Sunday Life]

Sinclair is a UVF convicted armed robber. He’s not a documenter or ‘journalist’ - he’s a violent racist who just happens to turn up to pre-organised racist intimidation & violence that he promotes and monetises. Not acting on far-right public order offences and harassment is state complicity.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Happy Lee is seeing Tori Amos tonight day to everyone!

joanna cherry implying that sturgeon timed the lockdown to distract from old man ketchup's court case is astonishing. what a mind

"a Bond villain" 💀

If I run a daycare centre and I announce the hiring of a new staff member before police checks are finished and that person harms a child I am 100% responsible, regardless of what I knew. End of story.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

🚨BREAKING: Iran has announced that it is once again closing the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian military says the US must lift its blockade of Iranian ports before the Strait is opened again.

For a couple of years under Laura Webster's editorialship The National moved from a cybernat appeasement machine to a pretty good paper. This year it has hired no-name cybernats as "polling experts", brought in red-brown collectives as columnists, and now has transphobic ads on its front page.

The number of people saying they've cancelled their memberships over this transphobic ad you have to wonder how long it takes until the amount ISP paid for it becomes a net-negative for the paper. Losing them respect and money.

Isabel lives in Dubai. Do you think she can speak Arabic?

My children’s book Jacob’s Transition Goals comes out in 3 DAYS!! And you can pre-order here from Gay’s The Word if you’d like to support a queer bookshop 👇 www.gaystheword.co.uk/product-page...

The government’s repeated pronouncements about “dignity and respect” don’t include giving us the dignity of input into laws imposed on us or respecting our views about its content. Write to your MP now.

This made me think of AI 'writing'. Typos are your friend these days, and I've been training my whole life for this!

Hey the Times, I quit a political party over trans issues and have a book to promote, can I have a front page spread? Oh, that’s only reserved for transphobes and not trans people? Never mind.

Here's the tombstone of the last one. It has fewer paid members than people who ran it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Also it's very, very dead because no-one wanted or needed it.

For some reason, transgender medicine and surgeries are the ONLY medical interventions for which the public demands a perfect 0% regret rate. Look up the regret rate for heart surgery some time. It's A LOT higher than that for any gender affirming treatment. bsky.app/profile/hlee...

I love how spending years making a community with welcoming/affirming friends in Glasgow is cast 'indoctrination' and 'social contagion', but starting a detransition after watching TikTik videos isn't. These people always tell on themselves.

“I’m a walking ad for what’s wrong about knee surgery dogma” (The regret rate for transition is at least an order of magnitude lower than for most major surgeries).

New grifter just dropped [Times] Kerr claims he was 'indoctrinated' by the gay community to think he was trans. "his desire for a trans identity grew out of “social contagion” and a traumatic experience." He started to transition in his 20s. Waited 2 years for an appointment.

This is Janice Turner, who declared Trump a 'feminist hero' [Times]

"A [cis] nursery worker who killed a 14-month-old while trying to get him to sleep has been jailed for three years and four months for gross negligence manslaughter." [Times]

"Meningitis B could be spreading among young people in Dorset, public health officials have warned after the confirmation of an outbreak affecting two schools." [Times]

Page 3 in today's Times, as the world burns, is a story about a woman who had paint thrown over her at her wedding. "Eastwood was given a ten-month sentence, suspended for 12 months, in addition to 160 hours of unpaid work after pleading guilty"

"Top official ‘did nothing wrong’ over Mandelson "The sacked head of the Foreign Office is set to mount a staunch defence of his decision to approve Lord Mandelson’s appointment to Washington after his allies accused Sir Keir Starmer of scapegoating him." [Times front page]

sry for fox news posting but this is sending me

If you're looking for who is involved with this ad, their names are under the ad

I’m sorry. What the fuck is that ad???

I imagine Wes Streeting is spending this weekend trying to find out how much support he has to make a run for Prime Minister. Apparently the answer he will find is 'not much' and that makes me happy for him and his weekend.

The thing about “viewpoint diversity” is it’s an affront to legitimate scholarship. What counts as knowledge should have to earn that status - but right-wingers want cheat codes so their shoddy “research” will get as much hearing as serious peer-reviewed work.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Wow, leopards are feasting on Caitlyn Jenner’s face. "What do I do? This is a safety factor. I can’t travel internationally anymore. I can’t use my passport," Jenner said. www.advocate.com/news/caitlyn...

Thought I would check out the Independent regional candidate for my area oh

The New York Times is now blocking The Wayback Machine from accessing its articles. That means you'll no longer be able to view archived versions of NYT stories published in 2026 and beyond on archive.org. (All those posts you see tracking changes to NYT headlines and ledes? They relied on WBM).

Not sure why everyone thinks this is respectful. He goes on to say that a trans man’s existence would be distressing to women. And this is all in conversation about putting them into a third space. Not the men’s. A secret third thing. He also has said the same for trans women.

Did you not think to fucking ask?

Forgive us if we don't trust Keir Starmer. Do you?

No10’s account is incredible. I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I've lived in Northern Ireland all my life and I have heard stupid shit you wouldn't believe about religion. The dumbest stuff from people who think dinosaurs lived 6,000 years ago. Never heard anyone say 'the Pope doesn't represent the Catholic Church'
