“Hey what are the fascists doing, let’s do that!” Fuck Labour, an utter shambles.

Banning abortions is a way to kill and injure people who wish to terminate their pregnancies. Period. That is the purpose of this kind of legislation, and it works.

The bipartisanship of US imperialism on full show.

We’re now well and truly at a point where the Equality Act is being used to protect bigots more than minorities. Good stuff.

So, so excited that this paper is finally out! As someone who detransitioned, gatekeeping didn’t help me. Instead it caused me many problems in the short & long-run but experiences like mine are often used to argue for more gatekeeping. I’m happy to help with a paper that challenges that narrative.

He’s a piece of shit.

"There is no putting the cat back in the bag; she will never have a fully private life ever again. She has been robbed of that human right by the Judges in this case and I believe they should have to face the consequences for that, just as she will bear the consequences of their decisions too."

This is a difficult read. But it helped turn some some helpless thoughts about how what we’re doing isn’t working into a positive realisation: we need to stop waiting for cis people to wake up and save us and instead build our own power through pragmatic actions, community building, mutual aid etc.

Israel executed an 8-months-pregnant Palestinian woman in the occupied West Bank today. Then they blocked the ambulances to make sure both she and her unborn baby died. This isn’t war. It’s the systematic extermination of an entire people.

We don't talk enough about LinkedIn in the context of social media and white supremacy, because ... whew.

Masses of people deported. Trans folk erased. Abortion denied. Sex policing. These are examples of current authoritarianism. We can defeat such politics by connecting across issues and refusing division. If you’re “pro-LGBT” but racist or “pro-migrant” but homo/transphobic, you only enable fascism.

liberal commentators: i am staying on twitter bcos bluesky is a woke echo chamber.

Labour are now going to be the “disruptors”. How? By doing exactly what political parties, including Reform, have done in this country for years: demonise the poor, the disabled, migrants, and trans people. They’ll win over the working class by attacking its weakest members, apparently.

All I can think of is the many cybersecurity conference talks I have listened to where some Google person spoke about captcha and securing stuff And all the time they knew this So much of cybersecurity is a lie, theatre, money making grift.

Do Labour realise that they can actually challenge Reform’s fascist bullshit instead of slowly just turning into them?

Labour are no better than the Tories for demonising the poor and disabled. There’s nothing to support Kendall’s opinion here, and the BBC are shits for this headline. Maybe tax the super rich and make corporations pay their fair share, instead of bullying people who are too sick to work.

This is an absolute must read. And please consider attending one of the protests happening at every US capitol today with a sign supporting our immigrant communities who are being attacked by fascist ICE (deportation police) as we speak.

The road to fascism is lined with liberals demanding civility and "just asking questions".

As Landmines Kill Kids, How Do Queer Writers Expose and Counter Cruelty?

The BMJ journal Archive of Disease in Childhood has just published the epidemiological study done by York university that was commissioned as part of the Cass review into gender clinics in the UK. It contains some STARTLING (and yet, unsurprising) revelations. 1/n

Last time around the Nazis burned the scientific and medical journals about trans people in a funeral pyre. This time, they’re just hitting a delete button! 😣

I am #intersex. I was born with physical characterisics from both sexes. They told me I was a girl, and then they told me was a boy. They cut me open and surgically altered me and left me in pain for forty years. They lied to me about what they'd done. #sexisaspectrum #bodilyautonomy #lgbtqia
