They've got Mandelson for what I am sure is his greatest crime

The Darts Regulation Authority, very neutrally and reasonably, asked someone from Sex Matters whether they should ban trans women from women's darts. I'll give you three guesses what the answer was.

Together with fellow UN experts, I called on the United Kingdom to ensure that its review of statutory guidance under the Equality Act fully complies with international human rights law and guarantees equal protection for transgender people and all women and girls. #IESOGI #UN #UNCHR

As someone who was raised Catholic I find American Catholics, especially the "trad caths" and similar movements, endlessly fascinating.

While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE LEADERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM, FRANCE, ITALY, GERMANY, CANADA, DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, SPAIN, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL AND JAPAN.

This stuff is misogyny by the way. Even if you're targeting objectively bad people with it. Just don't.

One thing I am really proud of recently is that Amnesty International used my writing for their Trans Day of Visibility post. Since I was a teenager I have followed Amnesty's human rights work and it's super amazing to me that they wanted to base their TDoV post off my work.

I tried to break up with Land Law, but it claimed we had a constructive trust and now I can't get it out of my house.

Very privileged to call Abi a friend, do vote for her!

A thing I've noticed among middle class people which is a pretty good indicator of whether someone actually grew up poor. People who grew up poor find immense relief in the lack of struggle and the comfort of having food and some nicer things. Whereas those born middle class like to cosplay poverty.

”unconditional surrender”

No idea how anyone has gotten anything done today. I certainly haven't.

A reminder that as a matter of international law, per the Genocide Convention, the UK is obliged to act to prevent genocide.

It's now the obligation of every nation to intervene to prevent this.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Am resorting to prayer. What else is there?

It's now the obligation of every nation to intervene to prevent this.

It's essential that any Code of Practice explains to organisations like Girlguiding that they are fully legally entitled to remain trans-inclusive, and that the Government steps in to ensure that they will not be bullied and harassed into adopting positions contrary to their values.

There's also a Water-loo joke here somewhere if someone wants to give it a go.

April — 2026 "Gender Criticals" are masters of Britain Only some very tired human rights lawyers stand before them TOILETS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

I literally don't care about punishing anyone. The man who raped me. The men who sexually assaulted me. The men who abused me. I don't want revenge, I don't want them imprisoned. I just want to know and believe they won't hurt anyone else like they hurt me. That's all I want.

“This didn’t start in Girlguiding headquarters and it won’t finish in Girlguiding headquarters so we do want to make it clear to the government that they absolutely need to step in… “…organisations that want to be inclusive are being attacked with legal threat after legal threat”

how's that working out again

"We also have cisgender men as unit helpers and activity advisers, and there’s never been any objection to any of these men being involved in Girlguiding events.” Transphobia is a men's rights movement in drag.

To build up on what Jess is saying: while I personally do not believe for a second that the State of Israel would protect me from anything, violent antisemitism included, I am seeing the vast majority of people not care at all about genocidal antisemitism rearing its head again and that’s *scary*.

We absolutely need to be more vocal about this. Our failure to combat this is putting the Jewish people in our communities in danger. And it gives so much more power to Israel when Jewish people in the diaspora believe that only a Jewish State can protect them from violent antisemitism.

Solidarity with my Jewish friends. Have watched some people on the left over the last few years weaponise a horrific genocide to normalise antisemitism. Of course, Israel and its supporters have deliberately sought to conflate Judaism and Israel - but that cannot justify the left doing the same.

If a water desalination plant is a dual purpose facility then literally everything is, to the extent that every military is also made up of human beings that need things. Cannot be a correct analysis. But even if it were, the disproportionate impact on civilians makes an attack an obvious war crime.

People talk about “redemption” and “comebacks” for men who never faced real material consequences or, more importantly, actually stopped harming other people in the first place

Welcome back Bluesky

One thing I don't see spoken about much, as an a-spec person, was how hard this made figuring out my sexuality as a teenager! I long assumed I was straight because it was the default, and I didn't experience same-sex sexual attraction. But I wasn't experiencing opposite-sex attraction either!

My approach has been trying to reduce the harm to the greatest extent I can. To stem the bleeding. My own conditions and happiness have long stopped being something I can particularly afford to care about. I just want to help my community keep going.

Lovely stuff.

It's like if the library of Alexandria suddenly had 1 in 5 books become AI generated disinformation. It might only be one in five books, but in every practical sense, the entire library has been lost.

We are rapidly approaching a tipping point of what I think of as "information pollution" - where there is a sufficient volume of AI generated disinformation out there that we will simply not be able to trust any of the things we currently depend on for information anymore. That's scary.

Look, I read Fifty Shades when it was popular in 2012. I was 13. I believe my main takeaway at the time was how terrible the quality of the prose was. Kids will always get their hands on this stuff, and will mostly be fine.

I'm sorry, what???

Can't think of a better way to discourage people from using Bluesky than endless discourse about why people don't like using Bluesky.

Christ alive.

Lots of us have been calling for a PinkNews boycott for a few years now. But an uncritical Wes Streeting op ed about trans people? Hopefully this is the final straw for a lot of people.

This should be the consensus approach to energy policy. If this war hasn't made it obvious how necessary green investment is in this country, I'm not sure what will.

Don't want trans joy, want trans rest.
