One week they're crying about people getting visits from the police because of tweets, the next week they're calling for inquiries into tweets.

Somehow we’ve ended up in a position where the richest most powerful people in the world are innocent benevolent bystanders while a college professor with no tenure is part of a decadent and corrupt establishment that controls everything

Since the very dawn of humanity, from the time we stopped being apes and started being humans, we imagine that people have looked at the heavens, seen the regular progression of the stars across the night sky, observed the movements of the planets, and asked themselves, "When is bins?"

Just to be clear, BBC, the right to protest IS part of the right to free speech. If you block protest, you’re blocking free speech. “University threatened with legal action after protest at academic's talk” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's four days away, that's not much of a prediction.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

We will be publishing a full analysis of Dr Levy’s Review in the coming days and we will continue to engage with the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to ensure implementation of the Review prioritises the needs of trans people. #LevyReview #NHS #NHSEngland #TransHealthcare

For too long, trans people have languished on dangerously long waiting lists which, in some cases, now involve more than a decade of waiting for care. Things don’t have to be this way. Read our full statement: tinyurl.com/Levy-initial...

When the BBC reported this on their 5pm news, I couldn't believe the Tory reaction. So only foreign men commit misogyny then? Bullshit.

And they've done it again. They know they avoid scrutiny by doing this so the question is why they're so keen to avoid it.

Recent governments have developed a really bad habit of publishing proposals which affect trans people on day Parliament goes on holiday. Waiting to see if that awful pattern continues today. The opportunity for effective scrutiny by MPs and peers is often lost and story then driven by hostile media

This is amazing. Please share. Trans exclusion isn’t popular, contrary to the constant media drumbeat.

New Zealand's libertarian/ populist/ right wing coalition Government is trying to follow Wesley Streeting's lead in banning puberty blockers. This is what the New Zealand High Court has just decided (www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...).

To be quite honest, surprised that Streeting didn't reach for this line himself.

Quelle surprise... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Those opposed to the ECHR will never be satisfied by tinkering, just as Brexiters were never satisfied by the many opt-outs and rebates the UK received, writes @davidallengreen.bsky.social.

The reason you defend civil liberties is not because it is popular (it is never popular) but because if the government can deport you to a foreign gulag without trial then it doesn't matter how popular the rest of your policy platform is.

BBC demonstrating that bias is acceptable if it's one way.

Robin Ince once more showing what an amazing person he is. It's tragic that we are in a world where opposing transphobia and hate means having to resign, while being transphobic and hateful means getting regularly featured by national media outlets.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

"Protecting women" by putting men with guns there, makes sense Also feminism is when men start scrutinising women based on how they look

Actually moved to tears at how the support for @robinince.bsky.social is completely dominating my feed at the moment.

"Don't be ridiculous, the BBC would never force out staff who hold pro trans rights views!" My friends, this was 2021

Turns out a lot of Robin Ince's books are in the sale here, if anyone wants to support him cosmicshambles.myshopify.com/search?q=rob...

Days ago, all the Scottish papers hailed a massive victory for Peggie when it was partial. Today they're pretending she lost and must appeal. When the Supreme Court decision was questioned, it was a threat to the judiciary. Now it's apparently a moral obligation. Same voices, same loud megaphones.

How many pieces came out in the New York Times and the Atlantic accusing trans people of erasing the word woman. Here's the Trump administration literally banning the use of the word and not a peep.

Come work for TransActual! We are recruiting a Communications Lead 🤗 We will also soon be advertising for a Fundraising Officer. Full details here: transactual.org.uk/jobs/ @transactualuk.bsky.social

Good. But judging by my experience, i don't think they'll get any response, let alone action.

Sure, because one of the first things you notice about 'gender-critical' voices in Scotland is how *silent* they are. It's not like they've been amplified like an air raid siren by virtually the entire national media or anything

Yes, but why are they using their FINGERS?!

Harassment, 'untruthful' evidence, and 'unusual' legal questions. Our reporter Xander Elliards looks at nine points from the Sandie Peggie ruling that the rest of the media has left out

When The Law Said No: How GC Arguments Failed in Court The headlines say Peggie won The actual judgment? Trans women don't pose safety risks. Trans inclusion is lawful. GC beliefs don't permit harassment. @helenbelcherobe.bsky.social @helenwebberley.bsky.social @heatherpaterson.co.uk

The media's obvious bias is maddening. This is an example from the supposedly 'too trans inclusive' BBC, spinning that Peggie won her case, when she effectively lost almost all of it and was criticised for her own behaviour.

Some absolute corkers in this judgement. The EHRC Code of Practice not relevant to the case (i assume largely because it's a workplace, not service provision). Also it is not unlawful to permit trans people into appropriately gendered spaces. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

I do think Starmer thinking things were basically fine before does explain a lot tbh

Falkner here showing what she clearly thinks, which is that trans people aren't actually people.

This government loves to redo an independent reivew that was too independent and didn't produce the result they wanted

Irish Minister for Health calls the UK's descent into transphobia out for what it is.

Apparently I've done it again. I am so sorry. I don't know what's got into me this morning.

Some folk have contacted me and said what I've written is absolute filth. I'm so sorry. If someone can explain how to edit these, then i can rub out the end.

I’m sure there’s a double entendre in this somewhere, but for the life of me, I can’t work one out.

So he's admitting it then?

Brilliant

After spreading racist disinformation about Sadiq Khan last week, the Conservative party's leader on the London Assembly is now spreading a fake story that an Irish teacher has been sentenced to life in prison for using the wrong pronouns. The teacher was actually sentenced for contempt of court
