Sad and angry to hear about Pinks. Like so many folks I have fond memories there from long ago. It's in the tiny list of places that provided the safety I needed at the time to figure out who I was. This is the UK in 2026? This is what comes of all the hatred and government parroting the far right!

A statement from Stonewall following *that* Guardian interview. I don't, myself, think it does the job. JKR has caused appalling harm to trans people; Stonewall's decision to lionise her amplifies her ability to further harm them; and it now needs explicitly to walk back from that decision.

Millionaire migrant expats love to blame other migrants for the UK's problems never the £billions in tax avoidance & evasion by millionaires like themselves

Really? We're at the stage where you're attacking the working and lower classes again to fund "defence" spending. A suggestion that is NEVER ever given any consideration by Labour is a wealth tax. Implement it. And stop attacking your own majority population. Fuckers.

Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance. We have less than a month. Join us goodlaw.social/de78a7

Now would be a great time for a senior EU figure to blast the brass necked UK government for proposing to cherry pick rules to align with in an attempt to sneak back into the bloc by the back door, whilst violating human rights and multiple ECtHR laws.

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

On 23 June 2026, Britain marks ten years since the Brexit referendum. We were promised £350 million a week for the NHS. We were promised the easiest trade deals in history. We were promised sunlit uplands. Research now shows the economy is 6-8% smaller,

Trans on Trams!

Marking the "electronic music" item on my trans bingo card. So cliché I know. I'm now waiting for the strange urge to start painting Warhammer figures!! MindSpikes Live at the Purple Turtle EMOM 22-3-26 #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/ttw8sfocrLSi...

We're overwhelmed by the support on this motion, that opposes the recent decision by the IOC to introduce invasive and ineffective genetic tests on women athletes. If you're a member, do consider joining 140 other co-proposers (and counting). springconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Opposing...

1/🧵 Bigots are weaponising women’s sports to promote a subjugated form of womanhood. Ultimately, they are dictating that if you do not subscribe to the religious belief that you were divinely created as inferior, you have no place in women’s sports. Sex testing is a form of compelled observance.

Just pulling up Summer Olympics data (too lazy to include Winter Olympics stuff, but this will give you a good idea what kind of numbers we're talking about here), there have been a total of 29,458 female athletes since trans women were allowed to qualify in 2004. 1 was trans. 0.0034% of total.

Why is it that the UK gives a flying fuck about people's private lives? Mind your own fucking business. Kids are starving, the elderly are freezing, cost of living, minorities are being singled out. What a perverted culture. And a snail with hemorrhoids moves faster than any UK government. FFS!

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

I don't want to trivialise the horror of what's happening...but this take is right on the money

This campaign from @nionwomen.bsky.social deserves a bump… notinourname.org.uk/letters-of-l...

"Whereas so-called 'red wall' residents who have moved to the right have been lionised by Labour insiders as 'hero voters' to be chased and never criticised, Labour-Green switchers must apparently be scolded for being seduced by indulgent and reckless gesture politics."

Polly Toynbee's solution to Labour's self inflicted right wing problems? The same old "vote for the lesser evil" and reliance on tactical voting. Pssst...There's an elephant in the room to your left. Can you not see it? It's huge. It's called the Green Party 💚 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Drug deaths have risen every year for 13 years. That’s 13 years of a failed “war on drugs”. Labour should be looking at legalisation, control and regulation - not playing politics with people’s lives. This is a public health crisis. Treat it like one. Not a game.

Hannah Barnes saying "it's a question for clinicians and doctors to work out." #r4today Up to now it's been for Hannah Barnes, Newsnight, the BBC, Woman's Hour, judges and obscurely funded anti trans groups posing as feminists with suspiciously high level access to government to work out.

Girlduiding and Women's Institute say the law forces them to exclude trans women. But that's not true. We are offering to indemnify them against legal risk if they change course. If they remain trans exclusive, their members can know it's management's ideological choice.

Sharing this because I feel like for non law folks like myself this actually made the judgement more easily understandable.

Every time I read about immigration in the UK I’m struck by how much of this comes from the same hymnal.

Women in the UK, and indeed the wider western world, had the choice between being nice to trannies and bringing a whole world of hurt onto all womenkind, and I am begging people to realise that the women you hear promoting it are gunna be so insulated from the negative outcomes.

Has Kate Osbourne realised there is no future in the Labour Party and defected to the Greens and I'm not aware?

Went for a walk downtown to the vape shop earlier. It was nice and cleared my head. I forgot about all the troubles. Felt a bit grumpy and the man in the shop cheered me up. We had a good chat where he spilled his life history and he fudged the discount period in my favour. Result!

It's never enough. The guidance yesterday, the judgement today. Give tervert fascists an inch and they'll just keep on and on until you say no more ❤️

It seems like they are working very hard to manufacture regret and detransition. Creating an absolutely toxic and hostile environment. Trying to socially engineer UK trans people into extinction. This is their solution to "a problem in a sane world"

💯 It's about prejudice without feeling like a bad person. Fabricated justifications and subconscious smoke and mirrors are always involved when persecuting other humans. If one accepts that it's from the gut, then you also have to face the possibility that you are cruel, evil and despicable.

If you are concerned about Labour's proposed DFE guidance - which recklessly endangers children - consider donating to akt, a charity dedicated to homeless LGBTQ youth. www.akt.org.uk/donate/

❤️ Just a note to everyone of you 🏳️‍⚧️ lovelies on here that you make life easier and way more beautiful by just existing. Take care of yourselves, do something for you and be gentle and kind to yourself. It's another rough few days in the UK (as usual). Remember you aren't alone. (1/2)

Resident in Monaco for tax. Public funding for football stadiums. 120m support package from the public. Plastic pellet pollution. Fracking opposition is "pathetic", Greenwashing emissions. £17B wealth. But don't look at me...it's those migrants and benefit scroungers over there.

Content Warning: Transphobia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I have the greatest sympathy for victims and relatives. I may have to blackout media for a few days though. The "biological male who identifies as..." Transphobia has me disturbed and anxious.
