this will make transfemicide easier, which is exactly what the british media, british government, and brianna's family want

Still fuming at the idea that MeToo was never for white women, an idea you can only have if you reduce Tarana Burke to a token of a black woman, and one too black to be a woman. That's never what she worked for. She wanted to centre black women and girls. Read her words time.com/6221110/tara...

Oh fuck it. I encourage people to read Tarana Burke's opinions, advocacy and intentions in her own words, rather than as an abstracted symbol to throw around. They're not hard to find. Her work on MeToo is beyond impressive and important. It shouldn't be misrepresented: metoomvmt.org/get-to-know-...

Lol this is a liberal social media website full of liberal wreckers whose fine-honed 2010's style liberal handwringing in the pursuit of nothing other than coalition-destruction and pacification of progress is reaching an audience still vulnerable to that kind of bullshit. Fucking pathetic.

I'm generally pro-anglophobia in all cases, no matter how performative, except when it's anglophobia from Americans, whose only complaint against the English is the historical constraints it placed on American desires to do more enslavement and genocide than they were already being allowed to do.

Charlie Kirk was a prime example of a wide phenomenon, yes. A great many more do it, mind, including yourself. Do you think we should also #WeAreCharlieKirk ourselves into supporting repealing the 13th amendment? Hack.

Amazing watching several cis gay men crash out over a trans gay man criticising a story written by a woman about a gay hockey romance and how it can be fetishising in this current cultural context

One day we'll have to talk about how the majority of cis gay men believe in a creation myth of queer rights that is entirely self-serving, fantasist nonsense.

A good number of them genuinely believe that in the beginning, there were only white gay men. And, once they queened out super hard and became super popular and got given rights for being just so fun and interesting, lesbians, bisexuals, and trans people showed up to steal their light.

So truuuuu diva, you're spilling tea and serving realness yasssss. You're not a white cis guy talking like he thinks he's entitled to talk the way he imagines a sassy black woman to speak, you're just reading people for filth. Go get them girl!

I think ice hockey is too violent and should have less violence before it can be considered civilised enough to deserve queer representation, anyway.

I feel like you're choosing to be uncharitable and pretend that cis women don't ever get weird about gay men and that we don't have decades of pop culture history built upon the fetishisation of said gay men by said cis women.

I'm not sure whether to begin at "the natives of gender" or the "we are as trans men displaced in every community our ancestors built for the same people who exclude[sic] us in gay clubs and SLUMBER PARTIES". Like are adults here? Are we being excluded from a go on Santa's knee?

I swear to god every time I see a hyper insecure trans man online talking about how they discovered they have no cis male privilege it's because they imagined the experience of gaining male privilege to feel like going super saiyan in dragonball z and yet their hair is still normal and floppy.

I'm at a place that is significantly more trans than pride. It's my fiancé's first time and she's never been so flashbanged in her life.

Christians loudly insisting on the "true" meaning of christmas are so funny to me. It's a social tradition and your religion serves as nothing more than a bit of set dressing next to all the other christmas paraphernalia. It's a fun little superstition just like mistletoe.

Very sure I just ran across someone I went to school with on twitter and them being a they/them who's into girl's now is such an unsurprising thing. Like, extremely good for them.

Imposing "values on people they don't understand". Too right. I do not understand how anyone can enjoy fox hunting and consider themselves a human capable of love and kindness. There's something so broken in your soul that decent people can only look at you in repulsion and horror. David is right.

I’ve been out walking when a so called trail hunt turned up. It was very clear they were chasing a real fox. I heard the poor creature’s screams as it was torn apart by hounds. You never forget that. The idea these people can pose as countryside lovers is ridiculous and insulting.

A real fox hunting ban? Okay, sometimes some things do really get better.

Sakaguchi, simply as a story teller, left an indelible mark on my soul. His imagination, fun, weight, and charm. It's no surprise that the director of Expedition 33, the first game to properly move me in years, thanks him as his inspiration for making games. Love to see him getting his flowers.

I am still not over the simple fact that the UK Supreme Court showed flagrant corruption in abusing its constitutional powers to unambiguously invert parliamentary intention and the legal profession responded by being the bunch of unprincipled, cowardly, socially obedient pets they are.

yeah okay sometimes I have to accept that it might all be worth it

Lots of things are worse about the world than they used to be but one thing that isn't is that "dork" is commonly understood as a compliment nowadays.

I have to go to sleep and destroy it

When cis men find "malgendering" it's going to be the worst thing to happen to the epistemics of feminism since "gender essentialism"

Twitter is in its regular "a trans woman is bad so now we trans men get to indulge in a transmisogynistic feeding frenzy" phase atm. Outright blackpilling stuff.

All tech people sound like this btw

"The only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them. Anti-trans campaigners have been making legal threats, trying to force trans people out of public life. They thought after the SC decision the whole world would suddenly agree with them. But they've misunderstood the law, as well as human nature"

not only will this put trans men in danger, whether some trans men are accepted (misgendering) and others rejected based on transphobic criteria, trans women still are blanket banned from these places for being insufficiently woman. so like what do people expect to accomplish here. useless tactic

Something needs to be done about the Guardian and the New Statesman. It ought to be utterly unacceptable that they sing from the same songsheet as the rest of the media on this.

It is possible in social gatherings to turn your backs on bigots and not speak to them. GCs believe themselves to represent a majority of women: if this were true, they won't have a problem with being shunned by women who don't agree with them.

All 3 of siblings have, in 2025, quietly conceded that I'm right to not return to the UK, even to visit. They are increasingly less delusional about how bad it is becoming for trans people.

Quite enjoying the fact that the first Irn Bru I've ever had in my life was bought at a Christmas market in Bavaria.

It's interesting how the main criticism of Stolpersteine, that people will walk over it, is why it is poignant art and a worthy memorial. Yes, I am standing on their bones in my daily life. I'm walking over their dead bodies just to go to the shops. Stolpersteine simply highlight that reality.

Legal positivism is such a funny moral system.

I am one of those old school gays: I'm happy.

Men truly are intolerably loud.

If the things that are hard about being trans for you begin and end at passing, you really haven't gone through a fraction of the difficulties that others have. It's worth keeping that in mind.

Me when I'm being fair.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

I feel like you could turn most millennials into the Manchurian candidate just by doing the Cha Cha Slide voice.

Life is so strange. It will take everything you believe and create a situation to disprove it. For example, I am now being forced to call a "look at how ugly these men are next to their women counterparts" comparison delusional. If there is a god, said god has a sense of humour.

Those of you who know my work know that misgendering on death certificates has been a preoccupation of mine for several years now. I have been really concerned to hear that even though we now have specific guidance on the issue, there are some Coroners who have not been following it.

Read the whole thread, or at least the response of the folks who created the list, because it's really refreshing to see someone actually apologize, promise to do better and let you know they've already taken steps to fix the problem.

The thing with car culture is that you create a social model where every human being is, by default, disabled and cannot meet their daily needs without a mobility device. People have a relationship to their car more akin to a wheelchair than to a train. That's a problem.

I still can't over Elon Musk screwing up his own chatbot so badly that it went "Elon wouldn't just be a brick, he'd be a whole ass cinder block".

Such a spiritually xennial post that it's genuinely impressive.

Ladies and gentlemen, amazing things are happening over on twitter
