I wrote about how the women Epstein and co victimized have been minimized and ignored as individuals even in popular discourse about the very abuse they endured—and how the legal system has punished them and other women, not helped them, for daring to come forward. spitfirenews.com/p/even-the-m...

The men who raped Gisèle Pelicot were not rich. They were not famous & connected. They were working-class men who saw an invitation to rape & came running. The only thing unique about Epstein & friends is the scale of depravity & gaudy gold-plated swag.

This is what anti-trans campaigners are fighting for… will they now reflect on this or just keep pressing, because if they keep pressing then they are telling us very clearly they do not care if trans people take their own lives…which we know anyway but which they repeatedly deny.

there is no ethical use of ai

Trans people were the proving grounds to normalize the made up term "biological sex"to roll back decades of progress on gender equality. When you get bioessentialist language, suddenly everything from gender roles to marriage becomes an argument about "biology." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"If you are uncomfortable with what the Border Patrol is doing in Minneapolis, you are uncomfortable with the Border Patrol, full stop."

The insistence that women perform, with their faces, warmth, invitation, harmlessness, so men can feel soothed & dominant isn't just an annoyance women endure. It's a microaggression to dominate, humiliate, & fluster women. They don't do this to men.

i got a few "i don't get it, ICE might be going too far but don't we have to have a way of removing illegal immigrants?" type responses to my charity drive announcement video and the answer there is no you do not. nobody illegal. don't care what the law says

Too often I hear that the answer to sexual violence is for more victims to report it and speak up, but when they do so, they are denied justice and punished. That is not the answer, it is the problem.

Okay, you guys wanted some fun tea on Richard Dawkins? Here you go: one reason he may have gotten super duper angry about me talking about misogyny in atheism skepchick.org/2026/02/epst...

The team at QueerAF produce outstanding LGBTQ+ journalism and among other things are working to help me expose the government’s apparent cover up of trans youth suicide rates. They are currently fundraising. If you can help support their work, please visit their crowdfunder.

Please if anyone in Gorton and Denton seat sees this, if you have ANY concern or care for me or people like me, please vote for the Green party in the by-election. If you have relatives or friends there, please try to convince them to vote. This matters so much. Hope NOT Hate.

"As co-chair, Beth, now 68, faced down intimidation from anti-trans groups to oversee a vote that cemented the Association’s inclusive ethos in 2024. It was, she says, 'the hardest thing I have ever done, and also the thing I’m the most proud of.'"

Must wind him up something fierce that his daughter Vivian has all the natural charisma, comic instinct and general coolness that he lacks so completely yet yearns for so obviously

Graham saying the (not at all) quiet part of loud, when these people talk about "gender ideology" they mean trans people, but they know people still (just about) get icky talking about eliminating people

A truly hideous right wing smear campaign against these six activists for exercising their free speech rights to protest - and confronted with the evidence all six have been acquitted.

It’s funny how "insufficient evidence" only seems to apply when the treatment makes people uncomfortable, but thousands of nose and boob jobs for minors gets a pass because nobody’s making a culture war podcast about elective rhinoplasty.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Whether Blake Lively is a good or likeable person is not on trial. Whether women should be allowed to report sexual harassment in their workplaces without facing retaliation is what’s on trial

There’s literally a straight line between Trump, Epstein, and the retaliatory lawsuits against women who came forward with allegations against celebrity men like Amber Heard and Blake Lively. They all even have the same PR folks. And yet people still refuse to see it

I'm so grateful for the belief placed in the vision for Esse House by its supporters. So much of this world enables the worst in humanity. But by supporting, you enable good to fight back, and community to flourish 1/3

📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender. doi.org/10.1111/tran... The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.

Landlords cannot wait to tell you that being a landlord is actually one of the worst ways to make money and that they can barely make ends meet. It makes you wonder why they're so keen to be landlords in the first place tbh.

It's black history month, and so our writer S. Baum decided to cover black trans people you may not hear about in your history classes. Go read their latest piece, and don't forget to subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/black-tran...

We've raised £6000 in our entire history which we put good use for the trans community, and we've created and funded: • a free wild-camping adventure weekend • a program to distribute accessible toilet keys • voice coaching sessions • emergency homeless care • remote educational tutoring pilot ...

Are you aghast at the treatment of trans people? Wish there was something you could do? Could you afford to lose £24/year? Donate a recurring £2/month donation to @essehouse.bsky.social, and help the UK community help itself. www.essehouse.co.uk/donate

After thinking it over during this weekend mostly offline, I've decided that YES, I WILL be making a sequel to my hit video, "So I'm in the Epstein Files." I'm looking through docs now but lmk if you've found anything particularly funny/obscure regarding yours truly youtu.be/VNLdyWPAz18

Are you Non-Binary and sick of being forced into explicitly gendered spaces? Trans, and want a way to avoid issues at work, or have a safety net in case you are in a hostile situation? We have an imperfect solution that could make your life easier: www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace-program

I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

The entire financial and social system we operate under makes us complicit in child sex trafficking. It is vitally important for the soul of humanity that all billionaires - especially those directly involved - are punished severely, and their names tarnished and spat upon for the rest of history.

lol because we know billionaire influence stops at the border of the countries they live in. westafricaweekly.com/bill-gates-u...

Men will eagerly & shamelessly do this but become indignant if women suggest they're not safe for women & that the problem with men abusing women & girls isn't simply the individual, it's also how men, acting in class solidarity, protect them.

Despite being self-employed in a job that fights fascists, I'm going to be joining the general strike tomorrow in solidarity against ICE. I hope lots of people join me nationalshutdown.org

Kansas bills creating bounties to go after trans people in bathrooms, Texas bills creating bounties to go after people using and transporting abortion pills—the desired outcome is clear: harassment and surveillance curtailing the movement and bodily autonomy of women and LGBTQ people everywhere.

This is what an entire party stepping up looks like. Together, we stop Reform. Together, we win Gorton & Denton. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is a disgracefully dishonest headline from the BBC. Its motivation can only be deliberately to mislead the public about who lost the case.

Absolutely appalling. Even if this gets vetoed it's quite the indicator of what those people will do given half a chance. Disgusting.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature. It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money. The House is voting on it today.

The sorry state of trans healthcare in Norway continues to be a disappointment I see. I'm so glad that's my easiest alternative if I have to leave the UK. 🫠

I was told these are rare. And yet it seems each month there's another story of group rape chats/boards & husbands arranging for 100s of willing men to rape their wives.

US Dems and UK Labour voters have so much in common. In that "the party cannot fail, it can only BE failed" way

However stupid or bigoted you thought Scott Adams was, I'm here to share some trivia-bert that reveals he was actually way worse than that skepchick.org/2026/01/scot...

Interview with Zack Polanski: Can the Greens beat Reform UK? Matt Goodwin is offering Gorton & Denton "white extinction" conspiracy theories.` The Greens are offering the ability to pay your bills.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
