Liberals absolutely tripping over themselves to defend the honor of a guy who literally moments before being shot at, was threatening the most heinous violence towards immigrants Respectability politics is just leftists jerking themselves off, the right doesn't fucking care until they can use it

Remember when we weren’t allowed to be on the production team for that channel 4 documentary on trans rights because “that wouldn’t be impartial”

Anyway, moral points aside if you let me take out either file sharing or consolidation of media corporations, I have very little doubt which one would help authors more. Clearchannel was fifty times worse for musicians than Napster was.

a rule of thumb is it's never ok to say or imply that trans women are men. even if they are being shitty. that's not a lever you pull.

i'm sorry but if your argument is "republicans aren't listening to the new york times about trans people" you are just lying. they keep citing it in their fucking bills

the part that really pisses me off is that these are the same fucking people who were pissed off at the nyt last week when they were banging the drum against biden. but when the topic is transgender people? how dare you!

The Right doesn’t take orders from the NYT, or respect its opinions, but is happy to use the NYT as “nonpartisan” bullets in its weapons. Transphobic liberals, however, *do* take a lot of guidance from the NYT, and heed its reporting on the subject. It’s an arms-dealer to some, commander to others.

if you want to know why English trans people are so violently angry at so-called journalists, here's some images that will provide you with some context about why we want the hacks, everywhere, to either die or leave us the fuck alone. their choice.

Observed a discourse from a distance that to my mind boils down to: journalist believes they must be a journalist and is affronted by the idea of doing something else. To which I'd say, lots of us have had to do jobs we didn't want to why are you so fucking special?

do you know what it feels like to look at the news headlines every day for literally years and see stories about how you're a disgusting subhuman pervert? no? maybe shut the fuck up then @daveweigel.bsky.social

as one of the rotten, mean, dull trannies with mental health issues exacerbated by 15 years of ever increasing transphobia, can i just say, eat my shit and hair x

Watching useless liberal dummies like this jackass just fully abandon any pretense of sympathy for trans people is really nauseating

The way journalists at this level primarily have solidarity with each other makes me pretty glad I'm not a real journalist

i'm starting to suspect that there isn't a single op-ed writer on the internet who isn't a little spiteful asshole.

While it's obviously a vile thing to do, I can't help but be jealous of people who assume anyone who disagrees with them is mentally ill. Like imagine being that confident that the only way you can conceive of someone disagreeing with you is if they're unable to perceive reality.

trans people deserve to fucking take up space

1000% Horowitz is one of those cunts who says it's not noncing if you do it to your own kids

those parts of the country that dont read the NYT get anti-trans legislation that specifically cites the NYT

Daily Babushka.

The Labour Party will reintroduce the Sumptuary Laws

Just sent this to my (fucking useless) Tory MP, one of the few that remain. He's going to do nothing, of course, and now has no meaningful power anyway, but it's important we make them aware they can't throw a minority under the bus without backlash. This is even more important if you have a Lab MP.

Labour know exactly what calling a place 'Islamist' means because they keep fucking doing this shit themselves.

Labours Deference Bill will make it illegal to make eye contact with an MP

MP's when challenged by the public

Just wrote to my MP about Streeting's war on trans kids. You should too.

this is, sadly, how a lot of “allies” think about trans people, even people on the left. acceptance is used as a form of coercion. and the worst part is a lot of people who do it would never, ever think of themselves as doing it, would never even entertain the possibility they’d do it!

It's London trans pride on 27 July. If you're horrified by Streeting's avowed intent to make the puberty blocker ban permanent, please step up and show it. There are a lot more of us cis folk than trans folk; we all need to use our voices and platforms. #PubertyBlockers

Is it good when a party that's just won a landslide has immediately decided to try to eliminate a minority group and then exclude their most significant advocates from electoral politics? Or is there something to be worried about?

For all the criticism of Trump saying he'd only be a dictator on day one, Labour are 12 days in and are already trying to redefine democracy to exclude the people who embarrassed them in a half a dozen seats at the request of a sex pest who got a peerage for services rendered.

If only someone had noticed this anti democratic instinct in both Keir Starmer and his wider circle. Or if someone had noticed it, if only we had some kind of industry or profession where that information could be disseminated to the public. Oh well.

All this talk of "intimidation" and "democracy" ultimately boils down to: how dare you vote for someone who's not your preordained Labour MP? It's not intimidation to be asked "why are you in the genocide party if you don't agree with genocide" it's common sense and basic democratic practice.

Labour are straight up going to try to make it illegal to vote for any candidate to their left. They've won in the exact way they wanted to win and it's still not enough because 6 of their chosen centrist voids lost to independents and a Green candidate.

Wes Streeting hides behind the sofa and has to be coaxed out with Jaffa Cakes when he sees Hawk Tuah girl on TV

My train back to Nottingham got cancelled but at least I saw the home of Britain’s angriest journalist.

Number of trans kids who committed suicide in the UK before Tories introduced the ban on puberty blockers in 2020: 1 Number of trans kids who have committed suicide since the ban: SIXTEEN Yet Streeting wants to keep the ban. Why? Because killing trans kids makes him feel like a Big Strong Boy

I believe in few things as strongly that I believe that trans joy will win and that these are the fevered lashings of a bunch of people filled with rage at the realization that the world is passing them by and beyond their control
