The whole situation it create hostility for trans people so when they do the ‘correct’ think in MAGA’s eyes they’ll still get harassed and beaten. It’s not about safety for their own people but a method to cause harm to our people.

Decent politicians need to push back against Farage's comments on Lucy Connelly. "millions of mothers after Southport feeling exactly the same way"? No. Millions did NOT feel the need to call for mass murder of asylum seekers & we simply cannot allow the idea to be normalised.

Hungary has become the first EU country to introduce legislation which allows them to ban Pride events. This is a flagrant contravention of EU law regarding freedom of assembly and freedom of expression. The EU must stand firmly with Hungary’s LGBTQ+ communities. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I see the GCs are now having a go at Mel B and Emma Bunton because they have trans kids, accusing them of child abuse... I've known families where multiple siblings have been LGB and to suggest kids change gender / sexuality on a whim is just plain ignorance of how increasing acceptance leads...

The irony of him accusing Kate Nash of using Nazi propaganda. Would it also be propaganda to accuse anyone who disagrees you of the worst crimes imaginable? 🤔 Interestingly, Kate Nash isnt the one fighting two court cases for abusing people... And then this man derides the feminism of a woman 🙄

Fuckers. Even with a second season, a show isn't guaranteed to be completed and this ended on a proper cliffhanger. Fuckers. screenrant.com/based-on-a-t...

I love the Turbine Hall at @tate.bsky.social. The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt is coming there next month and, if you are able to, I urge you to go see it. It’s a profoundly moving experience.

Looking through this list of writers and I can't see a single one of the many notable names from the gender critical machine... 🤔 Too busy with their current crusade to concern themselves with the horrors being allowed to take place, lacking in empathy, bit of both? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This could apply to so many of the leading lights in the gender critical machine right now

A powerful letter: Too often, words have been used to justify the unjustifiable, deny the undeniable, defend the indefensible. Too often, too, the right words — the ones that mattered — have been eradicated, along with those who might have written them. How to sign? medium.com/@horatioclar...

TW Suicide On the 3rd anniversary of my daughter Alice’s death, I’m sharing this in the hope it will eventually help reverse the anti-trans measures sweeping the UK, measures I know harm trans people. I can’t send Alice a gift. Instead I have sent our PM another letter. Our government knows.

Even though I’ve played the game and I know what happens, that #LastofUs cliffhanger was brilliantly executed. Loving the changes as well, these guys know what they’re doing.
