So they haven't "banned the word man" at all then. It isn't even like this is new. It's been fairly standard for years to say things like "tradesperson". Gender neutral language isn't just perfectly normal already, it makes more sense for most things. The outrage machine is reaching at this point.

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Ashley Dalton always seemed to be a passionate and committed fighter for social justice in her work in the community and voluntary sector. Not sure how she'll fit in to the Wes Streeting circus of nasty

Well done, Hadley. Men are not women. Gold star for you. ...look at how she compares trans people with grooming gangs in the subhead. Vile human being.

This LGBT+ history month it's more important than ever that we fight against discrimination, and to ensure everyone can live their lives with dignity. This is especially true for the trans community. Though my Q was cut short due to time, it is important. Progress must not be taken for granted.

the bar is low but it’s good for media outlets to actually talk to trans people about these issues. It’s not like the New York Times who are like “we need an opinion about trans people find me the weirdest 66-year-old man you can find!!”

🚨 Revealed: Wes Streeting met with and expressed sympathy for pro-conversion therapy parents group Bayswater Earlier this year, an investigation exposed how the parents in the group conduct abuse towards their children. This is what we've uncovered 🧵👇

Let's spend 10 years attacking something for no reason then see how the public feel. Helen Joyce quoted.

It look like @wesstreeting.bsky.social “has sympathy for” a group of parents who torture their children because they are trans. Anyone who thinks Labour’s proposed conversion therapy ban is going to be anything other than a total sham, is deluding themselves. www.wearequeeraf.com/revealed-str...

He was karate-chopping the neck of a transgender ghost. Calm down everyone.

my favourite game to play in the supermarket is called "big night in?" and involves trying to find the person in the supermarket it would be funniest to say "big night in?" to given the contents of their basket most recent winner: a woman with two kiwis and some surgical gloves

commentators should be required to explain why people boo thomas partey every time he gets the ball

New: Meta employees are furious about a new policy that allows users to call LGBTQ+ people "mentally ill." Some have resigned in protest. Some LGBTQ+ employees have started saying they if they are 'mentally ill' they should get leave of absences from work www.404media.co/its-total-ch...

A trans woman on tiktok posted about getting her gender marker changed on her Florida drivers license. Florida investigated her over it, canceled her license, and then leaked the story to libs of tiktok to announce it publicly to humiliate her.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

The internet is forever, Charlie.

Heading over to Facebook to post that cis het people are mentally ill

Meta has quietly removed major sections of its hate speech policy protecting LGBTQ people, people of color, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. Today’s alarming policy changes will allow anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and cease to protect LGBTQ users from being targeted with such attacks

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

do any of the prediction markets or sportsbooks have odds on Mark Zuckerberg getting divorced this year?

This happened 4 years ago today and instead of the instigator being in prison, he's becoming President again. I'll never understand how people voted for a convicted felon. To my American friends my heart breaks for you but you are not alone.

Good grief. 😂

i do unfortunately love my stupid cat so much i’ll buy anything that looks like him

Insufficient from Streeting and actually quite dangerous. Musk's comments against Phillips in particular risk her safety. Saying you're "willing to work" with him helps validate that behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

#TheTraitors is so successful because it taps into big fears that everyone can relate to. Death. Betrayal. Rail replacement services.

Nice one Kas #TheTraitors

I don't think I can adequately express my disgust at the family that did this to him. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Then no one should expect fast food.

It was so uncomfortable seeing the way Man Utd fans treated Zirkzee today. Most unpleasant thing I’ve had to experience at Old Trafford, there are many around me wincing. He never deserved that.

Her entire timeline is only about trans people. It's a sick obsession.

Protest in Nottingham against jubilee park medical center. According to the protesters, it is due to the center refusing to prescribe hrt.

“If Carter had won and was president when the AIDS crisis started, we would have seen a completely different federal response to the AIDS crisis and probably would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives,” said one historian. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

What a load of shite

I see the GC’s are upset over on the hellscape because a drag queen was on the panel on last nights Blankety Blank, all while forgetting Lily Savage hosted it for a number of years and they didn’t say a thing.

Gender critters think year zero was somewhere around 2016-2018, there was no history before that, nothing ever happened before that

Our best wishes are with every fox out there today trying to escape the hunts. And a big fuck you to the cowards that are hunting these animals for kicks

Luigi Mangione arrives at Carrington ahead of his medical. Here we go soon

Telegraph with an anti-queer page of 'news' today

I keep expecting to not find a Manchester City loss funny, but I think we have a long way to go for that to happen.

Fabulous college for young people with #SEND My son spent 3 years here having his artistic gift teased out and developed. After years of severe school #anxiety, he barely missed a day. We need much more of this! Watch for his scribble drawings video and Andy Burnham. youtu.be/uNjCeXNOtO4

They’re so fucking dumb it’s unreal. They think they’re making an example of him; making a monster of him. All they’re actually doing is building a mythology around him. They’re creating his iconography in real time. If he wasn’t already a folk hero, they’re helping to make him one.

"So, where is La Palma filmed? La Palma is set on the real island that sits off the west coast of Spain's mainland." Off the coast of Spain? The words off and coast have been redefined to mean something else in order to not acknowledge the colonialism.

Isn't it curious that between Stephen Fry and Ian McKellen the one that has actually been an active LGBT rights advocate also supports trans people and the one who doesn't support trans people also has obvious disdain for queer culture in general.

stephen fry is the president of mental health charity ‘mind’. cancel your donations and explain why.
