So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through. Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.

I find it very strange how a legal decision which relates solely to gender recognition certificates – something under 18s definitively cannot have – is being used to justify changes to longstanding policies on including trans kids.

"real issues" = issues that you care about "purity test" = issues that other people care about

the aisle said DETERGENT but I wasn’t deterred

Some folks across the pond are realizing saying "you're being a weird asshole" to weird assholes is actually a very good fundraising technique.

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?

the glee with which every single bbc report which mentions trans women uses the phrase ‘biological male who now identifies as a woman’ is just utterly repellent. sickening that we should be represented as a nation by this parcel of bigoted freaks

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

Roses are red, Violets are blutonium,

yeah but nobody actually believes this. this is just something 'centrists' say when minorities call out bigoted policies.

"The EHRC, which is required by statute to have between 10 and 15 commissioners, now has just eight, all but one of whom was appointed during the last Conservative government." Two more end their terms today. This isn't a functional regulator. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The psychology of this website is so transparent. They're not attacking progressive media (who don't give a shit) so much as they're naming access bootlickers who already often cater to the WH anyway — because they’ll actually freak out and change their coverage *even more.* Just working the refs.

Depressingly well-made point.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.

Just cancel your Netflix subscription and stop buying avocados. You'll be fine

this is just naked corruption.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

Computers still can’t pass the Turing Test, but it turns out neither can humans.

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

"Gender GP provides access to a vital service to adults that should have been fulfilled by the NHS provision." Nothing else. No other statement given by anyone. Give them no soundbites or wiggle room. They are coming for private transitional healthcare. I'm warning you all.

We are dealing with some threats to sue for defamation brought by Kate Clanchy against, it will surprise no one who has followed this unfortunate saga, a woman of colour. I understand this isn't Ms Clanchy's first rodeo and if you've also received such a threat please do get in contact.

Here's a thread from Twitter shared with Sophia's permission in which she finally is able to talk about Graham using the police as HIS personal goon squad and getting Sophia arrested at home by EIGHT armed police officers, somewhat putting the standard Heathrow armed cops in perspective.

Fun fact I couldn't mention until now: At the time Graham Linehan was harassing Sophia Brooks online, I was contacted by her former teachers and School Safeguarding Team to get her latest contact details, as they were worried sick about her being publicly stalked by an abusive alcoholic celebrity.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

Here: Streeting and Labour invest £10 million into manufacturing the “evidence” they need to legitimise their cruelty towards Trans+ youth Elsewhere, in the real world: Scientists - yet again - prove that access to Trans healthcare, including HRT, dramatically benefits Trans+ young people

Trans Safety Network are extremely concerned that DHSC are continuing to solicit input on trans healthcare from Bayswater and other anti trans groups after a reply to our previous concerns stated they would not work with groups who promote harmful practices or discriminatory views

I’m great at quoting posts with hilarious takes. And I can prove they’re *really* funny because all the big accounts posted the same joke 5 minutes ago.

Fascist Reform leader Richard Tice would get REALLY upset if you shared this widely on all forms of social media so lots of people can keep it and bring it out before the next election to show that he is as big a liar as Keir Starmer. So please don't, he would be *very* upset.

The only difference between the racism Farage spewed as a kid and the racism he spews as an adult is the former was more rude. The British press has no issue with racists, as long as they’re polite.

my “We’re Not Enron” memo is raising a lot of questions already answered by the memo

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

You have the temerity to talk about left- and right-wing while the poor dodo is extinct?

You throw around the term 'conservative' despite the brutal murder Colonel Mustard committed with the candlestick in the conservatory?

This is what the British state and NHS are doing to trans children. In a "study", designed by associates of a designated hate group, into which these children are being coerced, because their internationally-endorsed healthcare has been banned on the bigoted whims of a religious ideologue.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Migrants moving to your local area is not a “legitimate reason” for racism. LGBT folk being more visible in schools is not a “legitimate reason” for homo/transphobia. Women not wanting to date you is not a “legitimate reason” for misogyny. There’s no “legitimate reason” for bigotry. Just saying.

Wes Streeting retaining his puberty blocker ban by manufacturing “evidence” to support it by traumatising children. If this sounds familiar, it’s what Andrew Wakefield did to create the lie that vaccines cause autism.

This report does not quote any trans children, or parents of trans children, or any trans people at all. It does quote Keira Bell saying it’s “disgusting”, though. New puberty blockers trial to begin after UK ban www.bbc.com/news/article...

Imagine, if you can, a parent whose love was not up to the task of saving their child from the environment Wes Streeting has created for young trans people. Imagine the effect on that bereaved parent of a coroner who saw that tragedy as a stage on which to perform their own prejudice.
