Trumpism is bad, he doesn’t want to end foreign wars and he’s not gonna make things cheaper. Democrats, this is your moment to narrate what’s happening.

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.” Don’t rank Cuomo.

What is the EHRC hiding? We submitted a FOI request to the EHRC asking for their emails with Sex Matters, or Maya Forstater, including emails Akua Reindorf has had with them, stretching back to 2021. They’ve admitted they hold the information. 1/4

I feel a way about people gleefully calling Simone Biles transphobic because she suggested a trans division in sports. Like, you can CLEALRY tell from the context of the rest of what she said that she was trying to be supportive. We gotta learn the difference between transphobic and ignorant asap.

1. A Mexican revolution trans man... a trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the 1800s... a trans woman fencer and spy turned double agent... a trans civil war soldier who stole his captor's weapon... These are the trans people you never learn in school. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I just received a message letting me know about a successful use of this email template. The venue initially seemed to be following EHRC ‘interim guidance’ after an initial phone enquiry. Following up using this caused the venue to make a complete U-turn with written confirmation 🙌

"Trans issues are too complicated to talk about publicly." Lawmakers will drill into details on foreign policy and the economy that make voters' eyes glaze over in boredom, but somehow, trans equality is complicated? No, it's not. The data and science are there. Just admit you're chickenshit.

All we can do this month, realistically, is be way more gay than they were expecting. Overload their gay buffers. Peg their homometers in the red. Be so gay that their systems can’t handle it. BLIND THEM WITH RAINBOWS.

The key question in this short but damning (of the Supreme Court) letter by Emeritus Professor of neuroscience at Cambridge Uni is this; “Why should genitals supersede brains?” The “Supreme” Court has decided our bodies matter more than our souls, our minds. It is an extreme dehumanization.

The University of York, who boasted of their contribution to the Cass Review when it first came out, are oddly quiet about all the ways their research has proved to be unscientific and biased by anti-trans ideology... I guess that's to be expected by an institutionally transphobic organisation.
