You know what really sucks? Pretty much everyone agreed that the essay was shit, that Fulnecky was doing a grift, and that this whole stunt was likely arranged by OU Turning Point chapter, y'know Charlie POS Kirt's org, deliberately to be a grift. And she still got away with it.

This is an insane situation where a member of a minority explained that a joke was hurtful and ill considered, the mortified artists immediately removed it & apologised and some elements in the media are acting like this is a bad thing.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

Sainsburys replaced my vegan kilties with vegan sausages. I think my hangover might enjoy a sausy sandwich.

Ughhhhhh. Me yesterday: "Work is done, housework is sorted, all winter presents are wrapped, I can semi responsibly get tipsy on game night." This morning: Pay discrepancy, work issue, freelance client, angry cat.

Just seen another pride and corporations article by the guardian. An awful lot of heterosexual transphobes speaking for gay people and claiming they represent us by declaring we don’t want trans people in the community. I don’t recall being asked because I’d tell them trans people are the community

A free Xmas day dinner put on by my local Belfast Bengali restaurant for people by themselves during the holidays #EverydayMulticulturalism

'gender critical' is just sexism masquerading as sexism and the guardian is a disgusting hate rag.

I literally had to look up what v-coding means on my birthday and I barely survived the night - Labour are the very embodiment of extremist patriarchy (rape culture). For All Women: My Body My Choice. My Safety is Sacrosanct. ⚫️⚫️

Reform oppose trans women being raped in men's prisons. Labour do not.

It's genuinely insane that Ann Widdecombe (a socially conservative religious zealot) sensibly opposed this idea because she opposes trans women being raped. Labour MP Jonathon Pinder called her 'woke'. For opposing rape.

Once again but in pink. The wise words of Sara Ahmed…

the biggest lie the british press tell about trans ppl isn't actually about trans ppl. it's their claim that 'gender critical' is a grass roots movement. it's a ruling class bigotry sparked and spurred on by the american religious right. it's a media and political class bigotry.

An English local council innovates, evaluates what it did, finds it works (replicating an earlier study in Scotland) … and all councils are told by the Labour government not to try it. What message does this convey? Another victory for ideology & cowardice www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

scotland's self-id scheme passed with a two-thirds cross-party super majority in the scottish parliament. the terfs lost. keir starmer and rishi sunak then issued a section 35 order blocking it. it's not grass roots when the prime minister and leader of the opposition block a democratic vote.

Stop Ruining Robin Hood!

It's a fucking pagan tradition appropriated by Christians ffs.

“The majority of people agree with me.” The majority of people make it clear they do not agree with her. “I did not realise what the scale of potential protests would be.” (Sues the university because the majority of people don’t agree with her position.)

"young boys are lonely and it's causing them to become influenced by misogynists on the internet" has anyone considered maybe it's the other way around? maybe the boys are lonely because they act like andrew tate

Alice Sullivan tells universities to suppress pro-trans research to protect GC staff. However, HER OWN DATA shows pro-trans research is already more suppressed. When I told the BBC this, they edited out any reference to the data. They have now corrected the record. www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedb...

To me, the mere revelation the book played a role in writing the report is an admission that the impartially of the fact finding was breached and that Hilary Cass wrote that report with either an agenda or was radicalized towards a certain outcome

Real Deja vu on the fake Cass Review.

This reminds me of when Stock insisted she'd been 'cancelled' by Waterstones. They had to gently explain that in the Christmas season, they were prioritising kids books & the latest Richard Osman above gender polemics written 6 months ago.

Apropos of the BBC front page: The right to free speech means you can (within limits) say what you want to say and the *government* can't stop you. It doesn't mean others can't protest what you're saying, and by that protest make it difficult for you to be heard. That is *also* free speech.

Part of the danger in the media refusing to accurately report 'gender critical' ideology is that some people out there have no idea how extraordinarily disturbed and dangerous the GC hate movement is.

Had a ridiculously healthy breakfast of oats, flaxseeds, walnuts and fruit. Then topped it off with two salted caramel Booja truffles (vegan and utterly divine). A Christmas week breakfast of champions.

Freedom of speech, in the liberal ideal, was about limiting the power of the elites. Now, in this twisted form, it is about forcing us to listen to elites and silencing the masses.

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...

I surveyed 12 UK national trans groups about whether they were consulted by the Sullivan Review. All responded that they were not. Whose free speech is being threatened and by whom.

New Fairytale of New York lyrics just dropped... 😮‍💨 Grace Petrie 👏

Literally demanding it should be illegal for people not to like them. Totally incapable of accepting any responsibility for themselves www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was only in 2017 that a TORY PRIME MINISTER promised to legislate for self-ID. Eight years later, we’re on the verge of banning people from being trans in public. Ask yourself, who’s next?

“Violence does not start with fists. It starts with words. With dehumanisation. With fear dressed up as ‘opinion’. With lies repeated until cruelty feels justified." nation.cymru/news/raciall...

So - Professor Alice Sullivan is arguing that students should be prevented from exercising their free speech rights? What a ludicrous, childish, ridiculous human being.

This is all going to get a lot worse with the introduction of the Fraud, Error & Recovery Act. Government agencies just helping themselves to money in claimant’s bank accounts, whether the are innocent or not www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

When MPs from the Labour Party, who are trying to introduce wholesale trans exclusion from society whinge that they're not welcome at their local pub...

labour politicians act all surprised when they realise the public loathe them.

I've decided to ban cis men called Richard from all public spaces. No, I don't have any evidence that they are dangerous. But I have 'legitimate concerns', so if you don't do it, you're a misogynist. I don't care that it ruins lives. Ugh, I'm not getting into the 'Richard debate' with you.

People being able to use their workplace toilets they’ve used for a decade without being embroiled into a publicly covered lawsuit, or attend their local women’s book group with friends, or not be outed when they become an inpatient is not just an abstract “debate”.

Yeah, for example socially liberal people don't see human rights as a matter of 'debate'.

This is how cults work, by the way. They convince you to buy deeper and deeper into the cult’s project and cut yourself off from friends and family, who might help you to realise your new mates are roasting your brains.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

My librarian wife said earlier that she is looking forward to removing three shelves of books to make way for ones worth reading.

"Life without food noise gave Ellen the space to redesign her relationship with eating." Ellen built other coping mechanisms and kept the weight off. If we look at binge eating as a maladaptive coping mechanism, or 'addiction', it makes sense that weight loss jabs aren't a magic cure.

What I find fascinating is that the jabs also reduce cravings for alcohol & cigarettes. Which implies that they work on the opiate receptors, in the same way as naproxen. Surely we should be treating the root causes of increased appetite, in order to 'rewire' the brain?

Lovely to meet @zackpolanski.bsky.social tonight - got a real sense of his humanity

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.
