I love this. ‘When Polanski countered that defining gender is "not the Supreme Court’s job," Morgan interrupted: "To lay down the law of the land. So you know more than the Supreme Court?" Standing his ground, Polanski claimed: "Yes actually, in this case yes I do.”’

Trans people have been here as long as humans have existed. We pre-date Christians by millennia. They’re the ones with the f’ing ideology. 🤬

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

📣 Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds need your help! 🏊‍♀️ 🏊🏊‍♂️ They’ve always been firmly trans-inclusive, but now this is under threat. Please respond to their consultation to show how much public support there is for trans-inclusive arrangements. hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is/en-GB/propos...

It’s all so horrible and inexcusable. Informed consent is the only humane way forward.

Out for a little ride today on the beautiful Brompton my lovely wife gave me. We did 50 miles yesterday along the Thames, the most I’ve ever ridden in my life, and my bones already feel better. Lots more adventures coming up thanks to these fantastic wheels. ❤️

Having a relief stop at a UK IKEA and wondering what the plan is when the unworkable EHRC guidance comes in. Is it that men will be in the room yet trans women can’t enter for any reason? Obv IKEA gets it. Their use of gender instead of sex is spot on.

If the govt shuts down, I could lose work. If it stays open at the cost of gender-affirming care, I could lose my child. I can replace lost income. I can't replace my daughter. @gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social, don't sacrifice trans people on the altar of political convenience.

Oh fuck, is every trans person a “gender extremist” now and liable for surveillance and preventative detention? We thought this was coming and it now seems to be here. A force of 4,000 elite enforcement personnel hunting every deemed enemy of Trump’s state down. This is terrifying.

Trump brings hate and division and Farage bows to him. It’s time to reject their politics of greed and stand up for hope, community and solidarity. #StopTrumpUK

This is one of the most important posts of the day.

kirk was not a “conservative.” he was a christofascist extremist and stochastic terrorist. his colleagues know this. their entire *thing* is built on flooding the zone with so much shit that you can no longer call a duck a duck without the meaning of birds & your sanity being called into question.

Bombshell ‘Wall Street Journal’ Investigation Finds Tyler Robinson Once Had Trans Uber Driver

The harsh crackdown on anyone who doesn't properly mourn Charlie Kirk and pretend he was a good guy is polarizing me more and more in the opposite direction. He was a vile, hateful little man who wanted people like me lynched. The more you scream at me for pointing that out, the more I'll say it.

It’s no longer about how included we are but about how excluded. The equality commission knows what it has done but not what it has become. Anathema to its purpose, a betrayer of its cause.

Can’t see orig post, but every suggestion. *chef’s kiss* I want to see Herzog’s Star Wars. Fitzcarraldo that Death Star.

Been very pleasingly welcomed to join the Wonen’s Institute in the UK. I reached out after their CEO posted inclusive support. “TW=W.” Two groups where we live have been welcoming. Reminds me of something similar I attended in Sydney. No terfs, just women welcoming women.

Feeling beleaguered by the anti-trans forces, realised I haven’t had my shot. There’s a correlation for me between mood and shot cycle that led me to change to every 6 days from weekly. I need to pay more attention to these signals. After all, they led me to align initially. They weren’t wrong then.

That’s a beautiful letter. Well done Quakers!

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

If I was a future historian I'd be the guy setting it early - at the Supreme Court's decision to place the president above the law during the Biden administration with Biden quaking and quavering over it but doing nothing with his new powers.

Holy shit! And by that I mean he literally was. Sadly, the rancid persecution movement he started, and the continued pain that still rains down on all marginalised communities in the name of Christendom is still being done with glee. Great obit! Cunt of a person. Hope he died horribly.

What would keep more children safe than the zero here from an adult not using a VPN? Reversing the puberty blocker ban and not burying the stats on how many trans kids died due to suicide while also being on interminable GIC wait lists. Torturing trans kids is ok but VPNs are not?

Ahh, break an egg! 😁🏳️‍⚧️💕

The Polari Prize 2025 page now returns a 404. Their Instagram as a statement announcing the cancellation of the remaining process for the prizes this year. They voice support for trans rights, opposition to transphobia, and state there will be more trans representation among the judges next year. 🧵

It turns out my post about Warp was a little premature. Yes, it does save time in various CLIs, but it has all the same failings as other AI tools in that it can sort of get there but not quite, so useless unless you can understand, fix, and complete what it started. Junior dev, perhaps?

A white conservative would be content living under a bridge, cooking pigeons for dinner over an open barrel fire, as long as they knew black, brown, immigrant, disabled, woman or queer people didn't have a bridge, a pigeon, an open barrel, or a fire.

Does anyone want to hear the story about my wild/scary time writing code as a project hire for Scientology/Golden Era Productions in LA? They recruited me for the Preservation Project for Hubbard's writings. It included a dry-cleaning list. I had NO idea how weird it would get in person.

F*ck AI for creative, but warp.dev is incredible in the command line for complex tasks. It has saved me so many hours of pain/tedium when adding params to CLIs, and resolving ⚠️. And then I asked it to add an Antora build to our book site and it noticed our .git, so did its own quick commit first. 👍😀

I’m going to continue my forrays into crossarm deodorisers, notwithstanding the dialogites of the drubbers! (This thread is going to sound like James Joyce on a bender.)

There’s something so off in this story about the M&S bra fitting. It feels like manufactured outrage. But there is one point of crystal clear clarity, and it’s made at the end of this excellent rebuttal by a mum to a teenage daughter: M&S apologised to the wrong person. archive.ph/2025.08.06-1...

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 By, Professor Andrew Sinclair, Murdoch Children's Research Institute. theconversation.com/world-athlet...

Binary gender assigned at birth based on visible sex characteristics is "gender ideology." It just happens to be the institutionally dominant one. Calling everything else "gender ideology" is like when people say games have gotten "too political" because they feature politics that aren't theirs.

Curious Cures completed: hundreds of medieval medical manuscripts now accessible

Grabbed a screenshot at an infinite ratio. But apparently someone has now given it a like, and the GC brigade are no doubt incoming. Still, just going to leave this here for posterity.

"Well well well, suddenly we understand gender dysmorphia, don't we boys?" part 1

this actually isn't nuanced, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. this isn't difficult or complex. you're just capitulating to religious fanatics.

it;s so ridiculous to think that men would undergo feminizing HRT in order to gain an advantage at sports instead of injecting steroids like literally every male professional athlete does

🇰🇷 South Korea just entered the JTC arena… and unlike Squid Game, we promise no green tracksuits or giant creepy dolls, just chats with gender-affirming care experts and the incredible trans folks rewriting their own narratives. From Seoul to Sidcup, we're thrilled you're tuning in. dub.sh/tuck

😂 I think that’s a green light to listen.

I’m sure every parent everywhere feels their child is so much safer now the gov’t has highlighted how useful VPNs are for protecting a predator’s privacy. FFS. 🤦‍♀️

New episode of my podcast "The T Elders" is out now Chatting to the fantastic Renee Yoxon who is a gender affirming vocal teacher Such a good episode, go check it out 👇👇 youtu.be/1-fVgr13cUM?...
