Rather than a blog, I ended up writing a short essay! It’s about who gets epistemic authority, who bears the harm of delay, and why trans people are asked to justify their existence at all. transiness.com?p=260

@hleehurley.com how’ve you found being on Patreon as a newsletter platform? I remember you weren’t thrilled about the beehiiv costs to be able to grow effectively. Is Patreon worth a look?

I absolutely love that every single time one of the robotic ring wing media shills does one of their attack pieces on Zack and the Green Party, he catches it, pulls out the receipts and fires it right back. And they just keep doing it over and over again because all they know is lying to maintain

Reform UK have repeatedly said that Kent is their "flagship" council and "the shop window" for how they intend to run things. When they are exposed as planning to slash social care for old people, in order to hire their cronies as advisors at £150k a pop, I think people should believe them. ~AA

Animals all around the country are being killed using catapults that have been easily bought in shops and online. We need to ban the sale of catapults to those under the age of 18 to stop these horrific killings. Add your name now: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Things to cling to as we enter darker times 😊

It’s always the thing that you’re not supposed to openly advocate for violence on social media because it’s public and you can get in trouble or put on a list. But I would push these men off the cliffs into the sea and leave them. If you can do this, you have no humanity.

Please please please actually make sure this goes through though! www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Read some of the stuff written by Irish hunger strikers who survived. These people will suffer the impact of this on their bodies for the rest of their lives, if they survive and, at this point, that is getting increasingly unlikely.

There's a word for selling political influence for cash... (sadly Reform aren't the first to do so) Via Private Eye

Here is just Hilary Cass randomly recommending using the pill (progestogen) for period suppression. She criticises GnRH analogues for having a low-quality evidence base, yet she favours a treatment that rests on the same level of evidence (and is also supported by WPATH). 🤷🏻‍♀️

Remember the big Honey scandal from a year ago by Megalag? Part two just landed, it’s bad. Part three is coming, it’s even worse. PayPal are going to lose any value from buying honey once the lawsuits are finished. P.S. Microsoft do some of this bad stuff directly baked into the Edge browser.

I’m telling you, these files will contain horrors that would demolish the entire divide & conquer strategy that the rich are winning at. They’re the one thing that would show how much of a different, vile, privileged & protected world they live in, all working and middle class ire would be on them.

Wes Streeting doesn’t like his photo being shared, and he certainly doesn’t like it being shared alongside this other photo of Peter Mandelson.

This should have waaaay more than 20k views!! The British govt just can’t be trusted with large scale technology youtu.be/_ll_Gnpey4U?...

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

This is what Gary Stevenson has been trying to explain this entire time. These people have gone past a tipping point where they now own so many assets that their wealth grows exponentially at the cost of the rest of us being able to own nothing. This should not be how society works.

Happy Thursday everyone

The My Voice, My Choice campaign gets a vote on Wed. in the European Parliament. It would enable women from EU countries that restrict abortion to have free abortions in another member state. It's expected to pass but the European Commission ​must still decide whether to adopt the proposal.

The comorbidity of neo-Nazism and transphobia isn't just a kind of "one bad belief leads to all bad beliefs". At its core, it's the same belief: belief in a rigid societal order where your station at birth determines your future, your role, and how you must labor. A belief in biodestiny, in short.

I spoke to Novara about the campaign by anti-trans groups to pretend the law now requires a bathroom ban novaramedia.com/2025/12/16/a...

For a deep dive that really brings all this together, I can highly recommend @jasperdasper.bsky.social epic investigation that goes into the roots of anti-trans organisations and even the medical professionals that work in gender but in a hostile way, from decades ago. youtu.be/JiOc0r31-Os?...

Too big to fail, too big to jail. Not too big to be broken up.

There’s a thing some peeps do on selfies they post where they twist their mouth at one side… please for the love of Cher fucking stop. It’s not cute or endearing. And it’s in every fucking picture.

The first I’m hearing of this is now it’s over 🧐

This will not go well. What this will do is push teenagers, already more digitally literate than lawmakers, into using increasingly sketchy methods to avoid age checks. Let me tell you how I know... 🧵 1/

11% of Britons say they feel 'very negatively' about trans people which just highlights how much this is a top-down hate project with around 95% of the media hating trans people and a high percentage of MPs.

There is @lucympowell.bsky.social little evidence to support your claim but a staggering amount of evidence of the opposite being true. The Labour party’s current severe unfavourable polling isn’t a mass hallucination. You are doing a terrible, terrible job in govt. For everyone.

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

A YouTuber reading through the court document where the EU Commission is investigating YouTube’s use of AI just ran away with himself and admitted he’d never heard of the word “remunerate” before. Sometimes these people over share excessively. Why admit you are so poorly educated??

Just let people go for a piss, for Christ’s sake. Do you have any idea how insane it looks to have a cadre of mean-as-fuck official toilet monitors as your national equalities regulator.

Not a migrant or a drag queen. The far right stay silent on this because he’s a straight white British man. It doesn’t fit their narrative. This man lives in Nigel FauxRage’s constituency. FauxRage is oddly silent on this.

"Cross-party consensus" is code for "let's gang up and kill as many trans kids as possible"

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

Enough time has passed since the first four Stranger Things episodes were released for me to tell you a little story dear frens… The big finish at the end of episode 4, not gonna spoil it, but I will mention Will and his breakthrough moment. Let me tell you first that every moment that’s shown his

Non-binary barrister is very clear that excluding trans people is not mandatory. This means that if you exclude trans people you are doing it voluntarily and because you want to. If you want to exclude trans people you will be held responsible for your actions.
