As a teen I was deeply lonely and unhappy in real life, but found community, meaning, and solace in online spaces. I have to wonder how I would have fared if that had been illegal for under 16s.

Happy Freeza Day!

I am the class war clown

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

She means patients persist in being alive and trans, which to her is a bad outcome

Sex Matters are a human rights group in the same way the Waffen SS were, the fact the beeb insist on calling them one tells you exactly where their editorial sympathies lie too.

Nope. Sex Matters have long been banging the drum of "you can't change sex therefore transition can't work as a treatment and we should stop offering it to trans people" it's what Helen Joyce's whole "huge problem to a sane world" shit was about. They are 100% going for banning all transitions.

Whatever make it 10 factor authentication.. I don't want to be able to sign into anything ever again

Microsoft notepad is very insistent I actually need Türkiye on my Christmas shopping list

Not to be like “everything is gender” but here the feminized left is tasked with reforming and assuaging the masculinized right, like so many mothers blowing on boo boos.

Sharing this because it's funny.

During the Corbyn years we'd get very detailed all-channels deep-dives on how such-and-such on the left is a racist because they once liked a post written by someone who once shared a stage with someone who compared Israel to South Africa. They could do this to the far-right, they just choose not to

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Multiple men in the replies telling me to lighten up because it IS funny, mixed in with some homophobia, some transphobia that got deleted, and a bunch of "But it's so GAY to HATE WOMEN they're GAY FOR MEN" that kind of demonstrates my point perfectly. It's straight, actually. It's very straight.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children. They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

Average BBC news article: 'A Brighton woman has broken the world record for the largest marzipan sweet ever constructed, measuring 100 feet in length and weighing over seventy kilogrammes. Attendees described it as 'delicious'. However, we spoke to Sex Matters, and

this is whose reputation they're trying to whitewash www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

My word it sucks to be at a focal point of the culture wars. Turn on the TV and before I can even change channel we've been demonised in Orwellian newspeak. Android news feed, same thing. Solidarity to migrants, Muslims, benefit claimants, and all others who have to deal with this bullshit too ❤️

The 'What the Papers Say' section of news programmes should be replaced with What the Papers Botched, where the microscopic 'apologies' and corrections buried away on page 23 are openly discussed with each Editor.

The first two episodes of The War Between the Land and the Sea were excellent Doctor Who! It's giving a modern take on the '70s Silurians / Sea Devils stories. People might say the environmentalism is heavy-handed, but I'd call it honest - how else can you properly approach these topics?

They complain about us being baristas, checkout workers, doctors, characters in soaps, contestants on Big Brother, one high profile weirdo went on a rant specifically about her GP's receptionist but still their defenders insist they do not hate us and don't have issue with us.

Yknow they very much tried to get me fired from being technician on the throwdown on telly i know they wrote to channel 4 and such and every year were outraged i was still allowed on screen for the crime of being trans

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories: - Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy - Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with the intrusive thought, "I miss Theresa May". Maybe I have rose-tinted view of the past, but I'm sure it wasn't this bad? It's uncomfortable to process, anyway.

Reminder that lesbians have a more positive view of trans people than trans people do

There is a dishonest Labour MP trying to claim wealth taxes “don’t work”. Wealth taxes DO work. I know, I used to live in Norway, where they have had a wealth tax for more than 130 years. All public services are much better and poverty is far, far less than in the UK. 1/3

this is true. it also makes you morally superior and mentally powerful.

ME POSTING: Good pussy sound like the Silent Hill radio ME AFTER I NOTICE A FAMOUS PERSON JUST FOLLOWED ME: More than ever it is so inportant to be apprised of all that is to be and furthermore to learn of all that could in the best manner we are able as this is the true delight of Life

Cis women allies have the opportunity to do something really funny and fuck with a lot of transphobes and potty police

Googling how to buy shares in toilet manufacturers before the boom hits

ending of a bbc article i just read. this is so fucking funny im sorry

This sounds insane if you say it about anyone but trans people, but if you say it about trans people it just sounds like Wetherspoons.

Hey! That media outlet just featured or mentioned [X group of people] without presenting arguments against their right to exist. They must have a pro-X bias!

don't look at the comments today don't look at the comments today don't look at the comments today don't look at the comments today don't look at the comments today Wow the UK is doing awesome

Next week: wow this Tronald Dump guy is all over these files, wonder who that could be, probably a Democrat

going to bed, Sunday night dread

I felt emotionally fragile all day but then ate gherkins out of the jar with a fork and felt happy. I have become a stereotype and I'm not ashamed.

Just arrived home from work via small boat, nobody tell Nigel Farage please

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Hmmm that's a tough one

"BUT BILL CLINTON IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES" okay man arrest him too
