The administration’s main goal, and primary product, is the creation of fascism-flavored content

i wish the media would just call these concentration camps. that's what they are.

I can’t think why every prominent transphobe in the UK keeps coming out with takes like ‘don’t cut off your abusive family’

I think The Express needs to find their Xmas spirit. We're paying £476m for a regime that tear gasses babies & destroys shelters in freezing conditions. We should divert that money to a functioning and fair migration system. Tune in to @boldpolitics.bsky.social at 3pm tomorrow.

We go to Brighton to leave Alice flowers several times a year. Her birthday, the anniversary of her death, Christmas. This year was particularly hard. Her name almost completely worn away. I can’t bear the thought of it disappearing, but going back is getting harder not easier.

Yes. We're spending £476m on the militarisation of Calais - where babies are being tear gassed. The fact people are hearing this for the first time is exactly why I made it the subject of the Christmas Day message. We could be spending that money instead on a fair and managed migration system.

The Telegraph, for all its misreporting faults, is doing a fine job in communicating Zack Polanski’s first Christmas message to an audience who might not hear it otherwise. Wanting a new system based on compassion, kindness and humanity sounds like the best imaginable Christmas on message statement

Bowls England claims that lawn bowls is a "gender affected sport", and states that "scientific evidence shows that gender-affirming hormone therapy in trans- women does not fully moderate the male advantage", yet fails to provide any citations. They have now adopted an anti-trans policy:

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

The point about litigation for these terrible people isn't necessarily to win, although they obv do want that too. It's that their backers have almost limitless cash with which fuck over & drag through the courts those speaking out for trans rights disciplining activists & quashing free speech

this alone should end the labour party. unfortunately we're a country of largely self-involved ppl who won't even notice let alone spare a second to consider what this says about us as a nation.

Probably worth noting that the British government allowed so many Irish people to die on hunger strikes at various times that it has its own Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...

Transgender to all, and to all a good night! 🧑‍🎄

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

The main thing to conclude from this Labour strategy to compare the Greens to Reform is that they don’t understand the threat that Reform pose. They’re not bothered by fascism.

11/ The righthand section is somehow even worse, with the claim that they can "resolve gender dysphoria without transition" (conversion therapy) and that a settled (cisgender) sexuality makes you stop being trans - the implication for this one being that gays and lesbians are being 'transed'.

10/ This "complex presentations → Many possible pathways" slide claims that being trans is "transient", caused by sexual abuse, actually just questioning sexual orientation, autism, and finally gives some allowance for the longstanding transes. These are, of course, lies.

9/ 14:35 Another horrible slide illustrating what Cass thinks is happening. It presents being trans as a result of external pressures impacting on an already vulnerable person and includes the claim of a "transgender narrative" making people trans. 15:33 Another dogshit slide

8/ 12:40 Cass blames social media and porn for mental health (and implies that it also makes people trans) 13:30 Cass talks about how younger people have a more fluid and accepting perception of gender expression and identity than her generation 13:59 She brings out this godawful slide:

🧵 1/? Going through the recording: 6:00 Cass: "there was a fair amount of noise [...] about the fact that I wasn't an expert in this field, but that was a deliberate selection that NHS England made because people who were working in the field were so polarised*" * read: support trans rights

Leaked audio from Cass talking to NHS Sheffield. drive.proton.me/urls/EPMR96E... Leak is thanks to Trans Kids Deserve Better www.instagram.com/reel/DSf3rqb...

57 minute meeting leak, buckle tight. Many thanks to TKDB for this MEGA leak, even bigger than this one at Hanau Bridge in Dartford

Hilary Cass is such a creep she is so obsessed with this idea from the book “Irreversible Damage” which whistleblowers said she recommended to colleagues before her appointment. I made FoI requests for notes regarding those claims. It is illegal to destroy public records but apparently she did.

Tell me you’re positioning for a leadership bid without telling me :….Taxes too high as opposed to poorly structured?

At the HHS announcement yesterday announcing proposed rules to ban GAC, they said trans people are "at the root of the evils we face" and are "a hatred for nature as God designed it and for life as it was meant to be lived.” Just in case you thought it was about concerns for proper healthcare.

May I also note that the Levy Review recommended **against the Cass Review** and concluded that children and young people services should not be managed within mental health services, but instead re-integrated into local gender clinics.

i’m just going to assume the 90% of pages that they blacked out is ONLY donald trump

If you didn't know Wes Streeting was a lying sack of shit, read what he says here and compare to what the BMA say. www.bma.org.uk/advice-and-s...

It's your birthday, Duane.

So I may be being overly sceptical but “the right therapeutic support to enable them to have health, happy childhoods and to understand themselves, the world they live in and how they relate to it” sounds a lot like "shut up and get back in the closet" to me.

It is unethical and illegal to repeat animal tests for the safety of chemicals where the data exists or the tests add no new knowledge. So why are we treating children worse than lab rats, when GAC is known to be safe and effective? That’s unethical.

imagine denying kids cancer treatment bcos a bunch of twitter-brained loons who write opinion columns have decided leukaemia is a commie plot. that's basically what labour have done to trans kids.

QueerAF asked me what I thought about the Levy Review.

After spending nearly 18 months deliberately aping Nigel Farage and legitimising Reform’s politics, Keir Starmer and Morgan McSweeney are sending out their Torgos to lecture the public about how the real Farage clone is the one person in politics who meaningfully opposes him. Let’s see how it works.

The British press publishes ten transphobic articles a day because it is deeply concerned about violence against women and girls, apparently.

As well as discrimination in general healthcare, years long waiting lists for gender-affirming healthcare are ruining trans people’s lives. We urgently need increased funding for gender-affirming healthcare, improved training for GPs, and to co-produce services with trans patients.

"they never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games" hits different when you're watching as trans kids are systematically excluded from all aspects of social life

We see ex-BBC transphobes admitting how they have tried to influence news reporting, internal policies, and kick up a fuss when things don’t go their way to cause negative PR! (See ex-BBC GC transphobe Cath Leng talking about making the word ‘cis’ controversial to get it banned at the BBC.

So if a trans woman has a GRC and the BBC describes her as "biological male identifying as..." from information the corporation has discovered, does that constitute an offence by the journalist/editor under the GRA 2004 ?

EXCLUSIVE The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”. Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

The macabre thing here is that the sheer epistemic vandalism of this term runs pretty deep. A lot of cis people won't even clock that there's anything offensive about it. A young cis athlete calling out a transphobic athlete used this term in her letter of support just a couple of months ago.

This is part of a response I got to a complaint sent last week. It certainly suggests that the slur is part of a deliberate change in the style guide even though "some audience members object to this phrase."

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

The Epstein Files, everybody!

lmao this is the worst possible way they could have done it, you gotta leave him in some non-terrible stuff so you can argue that's all there is "he wasn't mentioned once" is not gonna fly

New leader says Unison will end support for ‘destructive’ Labour right wing

Read the entire Levy Review. Tbh it makes some good points but ultimately falls short of what’s needed. Thankfully it’s not what I feared and it actually makes points on how HRT should be more accessible. However I’ll be very wary about how the DHSC responds in action.
