Tl:dr; this is a complex issue and posturing about relative levels of femininity asif that somehow equates to purity is not the way to go. We where all damaged by the gender binary and we should not use it against each other

i agree with balko about the seriousness of this, but the press corps have to stand up for themselves, because this a learned behavior with trump. he knows they’re not going to say or do one damned thing in response to this kind of provocative insult and that’s why he does it.

Stay classy BBC 🙄 They couldn't make it plainer that demeaning trans women is official BBC policy

Just wondering, Simon, is ‘the Birmingham speech’ better known by any other description? I just feel like people may be more familiar if… oh… I’m sure it’s nothing.

I wish i had the resources to explore this more fully as a report but as someone who has worked in menta health care for nearly 20 years now, i can tell you - conversion therapy is an INDUSTRY in the UK.

Still immensely funny that Streeting just resigned but doesn't have the 80 ghouls he was promised (or he's seen the polls and realised his leadership bid is doomed)

How to even started educating my cis friends and colleagues on trans current affairs when the latest small win we got is a victory in the case of "Tickle v Giggle"

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Some players said the rats in my game were too cute so they didn't want to fight them. I think I found a solution:

this is extremely funny because "too right wing" is the top answer and "too left wing" is the very bottom answer, like the exact thing that every single person said would happen.

Not patriotic about much but the British/Irish plug is just superior in every regard

CONGRATULATIONS VIN DIESEL MSP!

Bluesky liberals are wrapping their heads in circles to try to justify their friends and website admins purging trans women in the midst of mass crackdowns on trans rights without sounding like a Nazi (they failed and they're still Nazis)

The Industrial Revolution is directly tied to the rise of ableism that coalesced into eugenics. For one thing, these machines CREATED a lot of disabled people, and rich folks needed ways to make that the injured people’s fault. For another, the myth of productivity rose to replace survival—

The BBC’s description of people who choose to attend a Tommy Robinson march. “Peacefully expressing their interpretation of British identity”

They aren't banning it for "LGBTQ" history ties. They are banning it for its trans history, specifically. They are banning an instumental piece with no words because it was written in honor of Marsha P. Johnson.

The fun thing about Mr. Blobby is that was intended from the outset to be creepy and offputting because his entire purpose was to prank celebrities into appearing in a fake kid's show and for filming to go absolutely disastrously wrong... But kids loved the nightmare demon anyway

every time i see "vagina bones" my brain immediately plays the tune to raffi's "banana phone" and swaps out the phrases so now i'll be stuck with "ring ring ring ring vagina bones" in my head for the next few hours

It'd be pretty funny if Streeting resigned as Health Sec and then couldn't get his 81 signatures and Starmer just went on as normal.

Angela Morley helped John Williams make his scores a reality, orchestrating on Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, Hook - but her name is all too often forgotten www.wearequeeraf.com/from-star-wa...

I’m not a meme guy but I like this one

We live in a world that seeks to answer the question "What if Omelas sucked and everybody was miserable but they really liked torturing that kid?"

My gender is I plead the fifth

On holiday, check my emails. A minute later, notification of a new email. Open it. SUSPICION NEW SIGN-IN. Yes that was me, you idiot. A minute later, notification of a new email. Open it. SUSPICION NEW SIGN-IN.

Best everyday carry I own is my power bank. Like the number of times someone's gone "Oh no! My phone is on such low battery!" and I just whip this thick badboy out and slap it on the table and- Wait Lemme rephrase:

NHS: we need tech upgrades Gov: cool here plug in this bit of kit, its called MechaHitler, dont worry about it The silly purity testing left: Uhhhh maybe dont plug robot hitler into the health service

Doing a grand job there

mr mamdani i love your dedication to the competitive high school minecraft scene! just a few quick esports followup questions: are you fucking kidding me man are you a lib psychological warfare operation conducted against me specifically what, sir, the FUCK is your deal thank you mr mayor!

I find it very funny that Dominic Monaghan gets annoyed by American fans of the Lord of the Rings movies because they're like "I really loved you as Merry" but because of the merry-Mary-marry merger, it sounds like they're saying "Mary" so he's like "it's Merry" and they're like "that's what I said"

The sheer lightning speed at which Mamdani gave up and abandoned his trans constituents is really something for the record books.

Terrorist convictions mean you serve your full jail term. You can't travel to another country. The police decide if you get bank accounts, phones and computers and they have open access to all of them. For life. Absolutely insane to secretly use this on kids convicted of criminal damage. Deranged.

Maybe he'll finally have the time to reply to his constituents' emails now

I have constructed a very simple and badly formatted flowchart so that liberals can understand the position of leftists on the Democratic party

So they removed the Doormaker from Slay the Spire 2, which means that review bombing over that worked, but Anita Sarkeesian is still in the credits, which means that the anti-woke review bomb did nothing.

Where party membership votes down transphobia (eg Scottish Labour) and the Party Leader adds it back into the manifesto and then leads a historically awful campaign chock full of transphobia (eg Anas Sarwar) then giving them a voice in the new leader? At least gives them a chance of influence…

It'd be nice, wouldn't it? Some quiet.

A protest that disrupts nothing will be seen by no one.

Business management/citybuilder set in Ankh Morpork, in the mould of the Patrician games.

I’d love to see something set in Lyra’s universe from Pullman’s His Dark Materials. As much as I’d love subtle knife shenanigans, the logistic problems of being able to cut through infinite realities seem like they’d be massive, so I’d settle for adventures in just that world.

Interesting that the overall score in 2026 for the UK (all LGBT rights) is now the lowest in Western Europe at 43.9%, yet only 2 years ago in 2024 it was rated 51.88%. Weird what 2 years under a supposed Labour Government does for equality! I bet none of their MPs will engage if we ask why!!!

I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

It's funny cause you'd expect them to have a law against memorialising those who have taken up arms against the USA but if they're super racist, it's chill.

this is why, when we win, we gotta win all the way.

Are YOU a GIRL? Have YOU ever woken up with a HARD PENIS? Bothersome BONERS Bumming you out? Thick DICK giving you the ICK? Is your MORNING WOOD ruining your MORNING MOOD? Then YOU could be entitled to COMPENSATION!!! Simply send a picture of the offending body part to Chaser & Sons, Attorne-

I want to shove Akinator in front of your average tech CEO who believes a complicated random sort can achieve sentience and see how they react

Finally made it: my ao3 fic got one of those "I'd like to do fanart of your character. Message me on insta" spam comments 🥳

I feel like Wes Streeting would be the current politician most likely to work with the Daleks then get exterminated ten minutes before the end of the episode.

So many of these lists - and articles on LGBTQ+ travel - turn out to be a response to the question, "which countries did the small pool of white cis gay guys we spoke to feel most comfortable in this year?"
