People really forget the way that the visibility fight Laverne Cox won was being able to portray a trans woman as a whole fucking human being instead of dead hooker number 5 in CSI Miami.

RIP Jean-Jacques Rosseau you would have loved hiding your naturalistic fallacies behind the word "colonialism".

This is a bill that serves as a guide for how to torture children.

Straight up "we can torture the trans kids tho" provision. Evil government.

The most they afab to ever they afab.

For many LGBT folk like me, and especially trans folk, Keir Starmer will be remembered in the same way as Margaret Thatcher: with deep contempt for having overseen a deeply hostile, queerphobic government, which rolled back human rights and set society back by at least a decade. Good riddance.

Ode to Joy is great but I think Eliza's right in that We Are Charlie Kirk would have been the moment that we turn that song into the modern Bella Ciao

These people are such losers oh my goodness. Genuinely never faced a hardship in their entire lifetimes.

I am so amazing. I did everything right. I was a miracle worker. That's why I've been fired within 2 years.

WE ARE KIER STARMERRR WE CARRY THE BLAME WE RATION THE HEATING WE HONOR J.K.

Tenderlibs really are something

What is this website doing to people's brains and is a cure for it even possible

The reaction to this is part of why Bluesky is arguably a more effective anti-left social technology than xdotcom is. It's slowly cooking an awful lot of you into the most feeble of spirits. Given who is here, that's an unfolding disaster.

a'ight can we just completely discredit this asshole and JGP at this point this is genuinely so vile

I am deeply uninterested in the wrinkly fingered fetishism that some trans people have towards trans women as the idealised gay man.

It's so palpable whose humanity is assumed and whose is seen as a reward for some nebulous concept of good, servile behaviour.

My statement on the EHRC Code of Practice and why I have chosen to sign the Motion of Regret.

Conor Gearty felt a need to maintain some degree of judicial respectability. I do not. The UKSC is a nakedly rogue, political and authoritarian court hell bent on removing every right you have in society. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Nazi court run by nazi judges. Call it what it is.

What will it take for British leftists to realise that their Supreme Court is as corrupt and partisan as the current American one.

Jess O'Thomson dedicates themselves body and spirit to fighting one of the most demoralising and gruelling political fights in the world. They contend with constant abuse from professional transphobes both online and off, and are thanked by people in our community calling them cis and privileged.

HBSers are so well adjusted they'll blame posting nudes at minors on autism, have tens of thousands of tweets on a 6-month-old account, and spend their whole social life calling everyone they meet a secret man fetishist. So demure, so feminine.

since a lot of people seem to be questioning my motivations- I will add that I drew this for my trans family and friends- and that you can read more here: www.instagram.com/p/DYpvdnKDNV...

I suspect that Ella isn't a bloodthirsty fascist terf and her work at the guardian is an act of resistance against those who are. That's worthy.

It's going to be so funny if he doesn't win this by election. Comedy for the ages.

The bit about 'rerunning argument's is genuinely rather sinister despite it's inanity. When a minority groups rights are removed, we have to 'stop arguing' and... accept it?!

Not In Our Name has reached 105,000. If you are against abuse and discrimination of trans women, particularly after the discriminatory EHRC guidance released yesterday, then please sign. Notinourname.org.uk Because it’s not only trans women that can get caught up by this, many cis women can too!

The UK flagrantly abandoning its human rights obligations wholesale, under its controlled "left wing" government, will result in cis women losing their rights to abortion, protection in the workplace, and divorce. These are their explicit aims. Make sure to thank Rowling for it when it comes.

The second is that transphobia is a fascistic agenda. There is no question about this. We have all the knowledge we need on this in our own history. And you either stand up to fascistic agendas. Or you do not.

Most importantly: as a cis woman; a feminist; a historian - this will *never* be in my name. Then: an equalities body that chooses to exclude a specific group; chooses to limit human rights of one community - it is an equalities body that has already dismantled itself and any legitimacy with it.

All transphobes are pro-rape activists.

I'm fast becoming a single issue voter and that vote is letting trans people live their lives

Most honest transphobe award

Leave them - the fuck - alone. They didn’t write the Code and their analysis was fast, clear and right.

Jesus fucking Christ. It's an awful thing given that it is one of the primary mechanisms of transmisogyny stretching back centuries and millennia. Our human rights are predicated on its rebuttal. You need to be able to hold your self conceptualisation separately from that if you're so bothered.

I am aware with the EHRC Statutory Code of Practice out, people will be looking to @lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk to respond. We are working on our response, and I feel it's important that we get it right and attack every angle that we can!

starmer's labour is the closest any country has ever come to implementation of the policy of late 1980s "rad fem" cultural feminist policy and the result has been the systematic annihilation of women's spaces and the institution of draconian systems of misogynistic biopolitical control

You're not even allowed to say that terfs don't like trans people. That's how extreme this is.

It's that bad. The UK is a shit hole amongst shit holes. Evil irredeemable shit hole country full of shit hole people.

The UK's human rights record is incompatible with EU membership and you will never be allowed to rejoin without completely reorganising your disgusting society and its utter disregard for human dignity.

Weine, Stefan.

Future timeline event: Donald Trump posts on Truth Social calling Wes Streeting a lickspittle cunt

It's both the funniest and most sensible thing that could happen, and thus probably will.

Pray for me, a very old friend just revealed that he likes Wes Streeting.

This was another gem aimed at me. Genuinely marvellous stuff.

Saving this for the next time I get called a transmed

They're so delulu it's almost cute
