It's hard to find words to capture quite how revolting, steeped in bigotry, irresponsible, morally unmoored, Labour has become. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We Can't Keep Waiting takes place this Saturday, 22nd November at the Pyramid at Anderston in Glasgow! The event is for trans and nonbinary people only - sign up for your ticket here: www.outsavvy.com/event/30917/...

I've applied for a verified badge twice now. As a public figure, why won't Bluesky give me one? Anyone got any ideas?

Labour thinking about stealing jewellery, eh? Wow that's such a good look. The notion that that went from someone's head, to a room with other people in it, to some kind of press leak, without any person saying "are we the baddies?", is demented. What have they mutated into?

It's an undeniable fact that the keyboard solo in the Thompson Twins' 'Doctor Doctor', whilst uncomplicated, absolutely RINGS, especially the harmony line. Chills :)

This man deserves a medal, and, more importantly, a job for life.

What I really can't understand is how Labour think that what they're doing will work for them. Turning against the left has lost them party members and votes, and may turn a stomping victory last year into abject failure in 2029 if they carry on like this. Witness the rise of an actual ... 1/

Pleased to see that Trans Britain is starting to reappear in some of the online retailers as the frozen warehouse stock has transferred from the receivers of my former publisher to Wilton Square Books. The first sighting is in my own affiliate store at Bookshop UK. If you buy off this page then […]

@christineburns.mastodon.green.ap.brid.gy Oh hello! Didn't notice you'd joined BlueSky... How are you?? :)

Does anyone ever believe what weasel Wes Streeting says or does? Me neither.

No "trans woman". No "transgender". Just "born male and identifies as a woman". The BBC's sickness baked in.

At times like this, when the BBC is in another ludicrous "left wing bias" crisis, it's always worthwhile remembering that since 2010, BBC current affairs were responsible for regularly platforming fringe lunatic Nigel Farage to the point that a referendum on our membership of the EU was called. 1/

Why don't Omaze raffle off four semi-detached houses (which most people could use and afford to run) instead of one giant expensive to run, difficult to sell 4 1/2 million pound mansion?

Whilst I get the whole "Protect The Dolls" meaning, I am not "a doll". I'm a 60-year-old, 36-year-post-transition human being who wants to work effectively in my chosen career. I don't wear designer clothes and I've never done a "glamour photoshoot". www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/prot...

Trans hatred (let's not call it a phobia or a fear - they're not remotely afraid of us) is a loud minority cruel sport. What companies and governments are afraid of is losing money, and R0wling has a lot of it, and has publicly dedicated her life to supporting measures that exclude trans people.

I mean, the original Dr Who Restoration Team must be livid.

So what's going to happen with this Doctor Who Season 13 bluray AI screwup, then? We can't just let this stand, surely.

For the dim ones at the back, again: Sexuality and gender identity are entirely separate. Neither are dictated by biology either. As sentient, intelligent beings, what is in our head is of equal importance as our biology. So all this "biological" crap is utterly meaningless.

News that the organisation in charge of Manchester Pride is going into liquidation will be hugely concerning to those owed money. Any performer or creative who worked at Manchester Pride but has not been paid should contact Equity as soon as possible 👇 www.equity.org.uk/news/2025/ma...

Here's a reminder that concerns about Manchester Pride's direction go back years, from ex-mayor Carl Austin-Behan, in 2021. confidentials.com/manchester/i...

R.I.P. Manchester Pride Ltd. Very sad for the charities, volunteers and employees of what was meant to be, ostensibly, a fundraising event, and a protest. I stood down as a patron in 2020 after my concerns over its direction, and I take no joy in seeing these reach their conclusion.

This Labour-in-name-only government has systematically eroded the rights and protections of trans people since gaining power, to a state where it isn't safe to be trans in the UK any more. Using phones in schools didn't kill Brianna - Monstering her, abusing her and dehumanising her did.

Brianna was brutally murdered by two young people radicalised by MPs, the press, and social media into dehumanising trans people. In an act of shocking, premeditated violence, they lured Brianna to a quiet park and stabbed her 28 times. Appropriating her murder for a separate campaign is obscene

The awful Caroline's vendetta against Richard is now really unpleasant. She's not an edgy, cool mum… She's a stirrer and a mean girl. #bbuk

I'd like to congratulate #bbuk for managing to discover the most unbearable couple in the history of the show in Marcus and Elsa.

It's National Coming Out Day. Until recently, I would say, "come out, the water's fine". Then I changed it to "come out, but don't feel you have to because the world is weird right now" Now, I'll be clearer... 1/

If EVERYTHING you think you know about trans people has been learnt from social and mainstream media over the past 10 years, and not an actual trans person, it's probably 80% garbage. Talk to a real trans person. Read a book published before 2015. We are anything but new, and We. Are. Going. Nowhere

Dear couriers and posties...If someone has a doorbell, USE IT! I can't hear your baby-knock from the kitchen.

Circulate this widely. The so-called debate about the ECHR is nothing more nor less than an existential crisis for the UK. Brexit crippled us. Leaving the ECHR would completely destroy any moral authority we claimed to inhabit. youtu.be/ptfmAY6M6aA

No, we won't. You think you've seen big protests already? Any threat to stupidly withdraw from the ECHR would be met with an public backlash the likes of which has never been seen before. These are fundamental human rights we're talking about. Stop being stupid, Kemi. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Re:Elon's Netflix psychosis... Wait till he finds out I was in over 500 episodes of Hollyoaks over nine years.

As Donald Trump can buy pretty much anything that he wants, and now that he is president can do pretty much what he wants, it is imperative that he does not get the thing he wants the most, that he cannot buy, and that is the Nobel peace prize. Which would be insane.

Seriously, though... the Ryder Cup is just a joke now, right? Golf, one of the most polite sports imaginable has been turned into a bear pit of screaming spectators, booing opposing players, yelling racist, xenophobic slurs, and exhibiting the worst MAGA-style obnoxiousness 1/

Just in case people forget (because I don't see it so much these days)... Trans Women are Women. Trans Men are Men. Non-binary people are valid. Keep saying it.

In my extensive experience, many of those who put things like "Inspirational speaker" in their CVs or social media bios, rarely are. It's extremely easy to write a speech using the words of wiser people who came before... maybe tweaked by ChatGPT. Choose people with experience. Choose elders.

It is, of course, a great relief that Emily has been evicted from the Big Brother house on the same evening that she went in. It means I can watch the show. But it's an interesting example of the need for any voter to know about the candidates they are voting for. 1/

Feel like I probably should provide the absolutely hilarious update that Emily Hewertson was evicted from the Big Brother house less than 5 hours after entering.

You’re laughing. Emily Hewertson lasted ten minutes in the Big Brother house before getting evicted and you’re laughing.

Tonight Emily Hewertson fans have accused me of paedophilia, said I'm Adolf Hitler, accused me of supporting the great replacement conspiracy theory, and told me to repent to jesus. The company she keeps is so foul it is beyond words and the less airtime she and her ilk get the better.

Emma Watson, a 35-year-old grown-up woman who needs no patronisation, is an award-winning UN feminist ambassador, not a miserable, derivative children's author with a hate fixation on a victimised minority.

Putting a spokesperson for Turning Point UK on Big Brother is beyond the pale #bbuk

Right-wing “influencer” Emily Hewertson being on the new series of Big Brother feels like a good time to once again discuss how much light entertainment TV shows have both directly and indirectly led to the rise, normalisation and acceptance of the far-right in this country.
