"should we be able to deport immigrants if they commit a crime here" how about you deport this line of thinking directly up your arse you racist pieces of shit.

yeah. It's like... the same handful of assholes running the whole show top to bottom across the British bigotry board. They get sympathetic media coverage because THEY ARE THE MEDIA or are friends with them through their own media works. That's the big secret behind the success of bigotry here.

if you're up country this sounds pretty rad! 👀

bought myself a hat with cat ears. didn't feel right not owning a hat with cat ears.

oh wait I'm a journalist and could've written all of this shed productions stuff down as an article and earned some money from it? curse my inability to make my job have any chance of paying my bills.

BTW I am not saying all of this to scold anyone for watching Bad Girls or any of the other shows mentioned. Go nuts. Pirate the hell out of it. idc. It's just interesting to talk about the politics and bigotry going on behind the scenes from the creators.

"why is British media like that" because the bigots are all mates. they all know each other. they all go to the same dinners and fancy parties. and they're all happy to chip in to financially support their bigotry. It really is that simple.

these absolute freaks all shit themselves over Stonewall supporting trans human rights BUT THEY ARE DOCUMENTED AS HAVING BEEN OBSESSED WITH US LONG BEFORE STONEWALL DID A GOD DAMN THING. lmao. how do you go from creating sympathetic trans characters to being so openly hateful so quickly??? idgi.

Ann McManus is also credited (in her obituary by Julie Bindel in The Guardian) as having been who decided Coronation Street's Hayley Cropper is transgender. Making her the first regular trans character on a TV show and one of the most beloved trans women in the UK.

Same. haven't watched it in a while but if I remember correctly... It even had a trans woman character, in prison with other women, she wasn't a rapist, and was regularly portrayed as more vulnerable than the other inmates. Like... it was pretty good??? (for the 2000s)

Chadwick, McManus, and Gallagher all worked for Shed Productions (idk if they still do). Shed made some of the biggest British series at the time (2000s) Bad Girls, Footballers Wives, Waterloo Road. Generally a huge impact on British culture and me specifically growing up lol.

this is basically why Stonewall is terrified of actively supporting trans people now a lot of their wealthy donors left because they were nasty little bigots. founded a rival org. then had their followers harass stonewall with endless letter writing campaigns and legal challenges. They gutted it.

Ann McManus died last year in August but her partner Eileen Gallagher who also worked on Bad Girls is still alive. Both helped found LGB alliance. if I'm recalling correctly were at one point Trustees. Maureen Chadwick used to support Stonewall but pulled support due to its "militant trans agenda"

WHAT A F’ING WRONG UN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 😭

wealthy white men: *frothing about declining birth rates* Everyone else: *having actual real problems which actually matter and probably affect their abilities to feel secure enough to start a family* wealthy white men: it must be the smart phones! that's it! look. my sex graphs show it!

heard you think smart phones are linked to a decrease in birth rate @hetanshah.bsky.social. But you're wrong. It's actually linked to the consumption of margarine.

they don't know or care. they are generally of the mind that scientists are all lousy dorks pushing woke agendas and have always reckoned they were smarter and could do it better. they don't value the work, just the influence work can have. so they want to automate the first to wield the second.

transmogging is what I call it when all the hot women in my phone are posting selfies.

TIL Americans =/= Brits when it comes to having our foods made fun of. A lot of you are chill but some of you are REALLY NOT lmao.

i was so close to giving cool whip a pass assuming it was like a 30s-50s scarcity relic that americans just had nostalgia for so kept around but no they invented it in the mid 60s.

i found this because i wanted to know what cool whip was.

"british food is so bad" sit the fuck down america en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterga...

is there any reason in particular the right wing are weird about sydney sweeney???? like she's a hot blonde with big bazongas, i get that much. but has she done anything to like... make them think she's on their side or are they just hoping???

"stay hydrated" at the end absolutely sent me. i can imagine their little fascist peanut brains refusing to drink for the rest of the day out of spite.

I can't believe his account was suspended for informing people not to post "Aaron Rodericks liked a barely legal porn skeet". terrible news when you can't even tell people not to post "Aaron Rodericks liked a barely legal porn skeet".

i think this post deserved more likes he literally has the same face as the meme. its very funny. how dare you not appreciate me.

u bet your ass if i see some racist has put a flag up on a light pole im gonna go full mulan and MR ILL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU to get that shit down.

its wild that there's a generation of indie games like Terraria and Stardew which seem to be being updated forever and everyone loves it while the "AAA" market has spent the last 15 years killing its staff to shit out endless sequels, remakes and remasters they want you to pay for all over again.

it turns out it still 'bury your gays' if you reincarnate them as humans with absolutely no memory of their former lives.

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point

baby boomers: im gonna have like 8 kids and its gonna be great. there's so much social safety net for me and my family. we are so rich and wealthy. we're building everything they need! millennials: if i don't get to the supermarket at the right time all the good reduced price food will be gone

"THE FERTILITY RATE" I yell, I holler as no one wants to fuck me

here's my rocket car you better say its cool or else

They can rewrite the laws, yes. but they are hanging on by a thread and don't view that fight - which it absolutely would be - as conducive to hanging on. as malicious as it often feels - its not. they're just selfish power hungry assholes aka the average politician.

the votes aren't in destroying trans rights they're in "not getting absolutely slaughtered in the media for supporting trans rights". There's lobbyists on all sides - the govt are picking which side based on what they reckon will be the least damaging to maintaining their power.

sadly the whip is only metaphorical

it turns out the political party who have had their first taste of power in over a decade are pretty desperate not to lose it by running head first into the right wing media's firing line to protect a few trannies. perhaps, unsurprisingly.

to do this they would still have to accept the sc ruling for what it is and play nice with the sc for doing their job (even if we all believe they did it badly). And yeah they could change the law! any time they want basically. but politics is politics is politics is politics etc.

I don't really like this framing of "welcomed the supreme Court ruling" with regards to politicians too much. Most of them don't understand it / care about it at all and as govt they kind of have to welcome whatever the Supreme Court says the laws they wrote mean. It's just how it works.

There is no greater honour than adopting a dick girl and supporting her as she flourishes into a penis woman.

yeah well did you see my inflammatory quote post???? no I didn't think so.

Lesbian Gay Bisexual Terrorist

women standing up for themselves and their rights: she's so bold and brave. truly an icon. The same as above except trans at the start of the sentence: how sure are we that she isn't basically a rapist???

Trans people are facing a decades-long, escalating, international effort to drive them out of society supported by some of the richest, most powerful people AND governments in the world and you are right that a few of them being snippy with you on social media is, essentially, the same thing.

I don't think an amendment is going to cut it. This whole thing goes much deeper into the way all of our laws work and it's the same reason that trans fathers aren't allowed to be called that on a birth certificate when they give birth. our laws operate under a pretty strict binary system.

well y'see... There is actually no obligation for the UK to follow the echr. it's all just suggestions that we do else Europe will rank us lower on its "best Europe places" list. That's how we got the gra, for eg. Our MPs wrote it all because Europe was upset with us for not having it already.

I still couldn't give much of a shit about whatever the EHRC is gonna vomit up in terms of guidance. Sup Court did statutory interpretation to decide what our laws mean. EHRC has to do guidance on that. So going after the EHRC/their guidance is kinda pointless... it's the law that needs changing.

today I need to go pick up some post, buy some sanding pads, do some sanding and then stain and seal my wood. And after all that I will be able to dismantle my entire front room to make way for my new mega bookshelf TV pc stand. which I hope will finally make that part of the room tidy.

anyway... share less bigots and bigot rhetoric. it is clearly a poisonous brain worm. share more cool trans art, video game streams, and other cool trans stuff.

it is actually very funny that a non binary person being a dick head is the one who kicked off all the male socialisation chatter. i dont think bigots bother with it as a concept any more. It was some useful rhetoric for them at one point before it was socially acceptable to just call us men.
