this is EXACTLY how we said they would use skrmetti.

This needs too be normalized at conventions.

1. In recent months, we have seen California governor throw trans people under the bus for political points. Now, one of the leading Dems in the race for CA Gov. has said "enough," and has fully embraced trans athletes and rights. He condemns capitulation. Read our latest story.

I neeeeed people to understand this. If it seems like I've zero patience for your shit, it's probably because I've been in triage mode for 18 months. Yes. Triage. US/UK trans ppl mainly. And yes, when this started I went into mass casualty mode. If you come to me, it's black, red, yellow, green.

This. But it's more nefarious. They act like this, put the person on blast on twitter (over a million views, comments homophobically abusing him, doxxing of him, where he lives etc) - it deters others for doing the same. Then the next person thinks twice about standing up for us.

Peig Sayers will be wanting a word with this lot. Although now I've got "Sexy Peig Sayers in a bikini being all modern" in my head, so, um.... I hate these people a little more now.

"Restrictions on women's dress are anti-Irish." *Proceeds to tell women what clothes they can wear*

Living in the mountains of Leitrim, in a cottage with stone for insulation can be fucking brutal, especially in winter. It can be lonely, all the queer shit is in Dublin which I refuse to go to, etc, etc. But it's days like today, at a balmy 17C indoors and 20C outdoors that I don't regret it.

I... I don't even know how to reply to this shite. senmacbrdaigh.substack.com/p/why-sinn-f...

the critic today has 2 articles, one bemoaning the fact that they're not allowed to celebrate their victory over the "men pretending to be women" and the other saying this isn't actually a victory because it doesn't say trans people aren't real. Furious in victory as always

Taoiseach admitted today that Ireland is not sovereign. Our foreign policy is made by U.S. multinationals, not Irish citizens.

I've been reading the Tommy Fleming coming out drama and seriously, the ex-wife needs to get a fucking grip. No one "stole" 24 years of your life, jfc. You're acting like you were imprisoned in the Maze, ffs.

Lest anyone think I’m being hyperbolic: Absolutely not.

Just Elon Musk agreeing "100" with gamer Asmongold about rounding people up, putting them into forced labor camps and shooting "the ones who are violent and attack police" The original video was removed but lower in feed on X the thread appears to be referencing people in Chicago.

They're always on the verge of "defeating" trans ideology and us trans people are always still here the next day regardless of anyone's ideology.

Even the Nazis, who criminalised doctors, destroyed research, and locked us up, weren't able to defeat trans people. That the "gender critical" people want to go through that again is personally worrying. They won't win, but we will be hurt in their attempt.

There's a situation unfolding in the land of online bookselling that I haven't discussed primarily because I have little information to share. An unknown company is making multi-volume purchases, and when I say multi-, I mean some of us have been getting 500 orders a week. For REALLY random books.

The Revolutionary Housing League has occupied a long-vacant pub in Dublin’s Liberties, saying they intend to open it as a community centre named after Anne Devlin.

I sat in a theater with my best friend, Myles, watching this, cackling "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MY ANUS IS BLEEDING." It's now in HD on YT. It's the best thing ever animated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU_m...

Looks like one of those terrifying 2050 #climate projection graphics, but no, that’s a short-term forecast for France until… May 29th.

Key to their potency as a killer of radical social movements is the fact that rebellion isn't the product of growing an enthusiastic fringe of people joining a party, reading the right books and silencing/marginalising people who depart from the party line.

They are *insanely* good at three things: * Recruitment * Coopting high profile minority resistance movements through tokenisation * Setting up organisations that look like they might one day engage in radical liberatory struggle if you recruit enough people to read enough Marxism

Probably the biggest low stakes conspiracy theory I believe is that the British Socialist Workers Party was set up or at some point coopted by Special Branch/MI5 to absorb the energy of people who desperately want social change in the aftermath of the 60s and divert that energy to useless things.

And 3 of the 4 just happen to be gay which is unsurprising coming from Glinner, a man who these days is just a bunch of bigotries held together with spite

Just like down here in the South then

From that piece above: "Deaths linked to gender or sexual identity more than doubled in 24/25, and trans young people are now estimated to be taking their own lives at 7 times the rate of their peers.” Cis folks, how are you not appalled by this?

If I am forced to go to the UK for any reason I'm going to make sure to get reservations for the snootiest restaurant I can afford, one whose toilet I'm not allowed to use....

This absolutely shook me to my core as a Dad. What is wrong with people? Why can you just leave trans people alone? That’s all they want.

"BlueSky is an echo chamber" Yeah man it's why I left the Nazi site for here. I come here to rant about politics and post Simpsons memes not convince unmovable arsestains they're wrong Why do we treat all online social platforms like they're unmonitored debate stages?

As I sit here twisting braided line into new whip crackers, a few public service announcements...

I'm not voting for a candidate that wants fascism for trans kids, but safety for me. Don't try to sell me that you're worried about rising fascism, if you think there's enough of a safety margin to throw away the 5% to 10% of anti-fascist votes that you will lose by backing an anti-trans candidate.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you “Ireland is full” when the government is bringing in measures like these #speirghorm www.independent.ie/irish-news/p...

Not a drag queen. Not an immigrant. Not a trans person. A white “religious” man who claimed he could cure people who were gay. They accuse others so you won’t suspect them. Never forget it.

Email sent to the Council of Europe.

. @ellabaron.bsky.social is a great cartoonist and it's nice that @theguardian.com have seen fit to cease hostilities against the trans community for about 10 square inches of printing space. But it shouldn't be surprising that trans people feel a bit raw about what more is to be done.

ICYMI: The Department of Health escalated its language around puberty blockers for Trans+ children - despite the same medication remaining in use for cisgender children.

For a year now. It's what inspired this poast bsky.app/profile/shel...

Fuck this shit.

DHR has been violently targeted by the MAGA regime. DHS stole a DHR Indigenous activist's flag. Feds display it on the wall in the PDX ICE command center as a trophy. They have stolen a lot of DHR property as trophies. The targeted violence and theft on DHR members has been ignored by media.

Hey, remember how I said when our rights were stripped away and they were loading us into boxcars, cis-liberals would stand there with signs to "witness" and a tear would roll down their cheeks... Some of them will also draw cartoons in the paper who kicked off the witch hunt that led to all this.

I don't give a fuck if it's 100 more years of FF/FG mismanagement, I'll never believe SF if they decide to reposition themselves to the left. Or, to put it in the bluntest way possible, I'll give them a preference the day the trans kids they've harmed up north forgive them.

I've had to explain to cis people a couple times, because they like... Thought we'd just accept this all and forget, that like... We're gonna remember what you did to us *forever*. That our community holds thousand year old grudges.

If you dont wanna feel the guilt dissociate yourself from the fascist machine dont just tell me how sad working at the fascism factory makes you but youre trying to make it better anyway vote labour next election please and donate to the guardian fuk you

#LGBTQ+ youth in Ireland experience higher levels of discrimination, new study finds 76% of people aged 17 experienced some type of discrimination at least multiple times per year. This figure increases for LGBTQ+ young people and other minority groups. #Spéirgorm gcn.ie/lgbtq-youth-...

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

I can only easily draw light to this via screenshots. But what do you all think? It's looking very worrying to me "If you do not have this data, you should take reasonable and proportionate steps to obtain it." How?

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???

The Independent are already asking cisgender wheelchair users to explain why trans people should have no access to toilet facilities rather than asking anyone who is trans and disabled about how it affects them

If just 1 in 10 trans people in the UK think they will be safer, less isolated, and more secure having a key, then we will send out 1000s. Allies can help fund the meeting of the demand by clicking the "i dont need a key, but want to donate" button. www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace-program

there’s not a “this you?” big enough for the Guardian publishing this
