This is fucking evil dark pattern marketing.

Well that’s tacky behavior that Christie would have likely written a murder mystery about (beloved figure bumped off by greedy relatives who sold AI rights to support their gambling habit)

Nothing learned from yrs of Tories trying to placate UKIP/Reform voters. Rather than make a confident argument for migration & integration (which is what the UK - like every ageing society - desperately needs), Labour, too, now panders to (& thereby cements, legitimises, & strengthens) xenophobia.

#PIP The vile DWP are sending out a toxic survey on how disabled people in receipt of PIP spend their money DWP have no legal right to ask this information & you have no legal obligation to respond to this survey Or you can send a letter of opposition about the proposed changes (cuts to pip)

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

👇🎯 They. Are. Breaking. Signed. Contracts. For. No. Legal. Reason. You want to pass legislation not funding this stuff going forward? Fine. Epically idiotic, but legal. This is something else. Shredding the basic foundations of the rule of law. Textbook authoritarianism.

Anti-trans laws will always end up being used as a tool of gender-policing and reinforce nationalist, natalist ideas of sex that view women as nothing more than reproductive resources to mine. However, the fact that trans people will be hurt by such laws should be enough. Our pain should matter.

Feels similar to white supremacists 'ensuring the best people get the jobs' by preventing anyone else from holding positions of power.

Rulings like this hurt the dignity, opportunities, and safety of all women, cis and trans. Fuck TERFs And fuck Rowling in particular for bankrolling this entire sham of a case.

Helen Lewis personally blacklisted trans and trans-supportive writers from the New Statesman, a power no trans or trans-supportive person has ever wielded in any mainstream publication

The first woman only mission in space was, in fact a solo mission, in 1963, and she spent more than 70 hours in orbit en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valenti...

I actually think the colossally wasteful space tourism hen do as an act of gender equality has broken me, I can’t move past it

I hope everyone remains safe and also that people know that a corporate spaceflight of only women astronauts for a company owned by a deeply destructive billionaire who is enabling fascism is just public relations for fascism and has absolutely nothing to do with feminism

It seems an essentially infantile/adolescent mindset they're arrested in, constructing "manly" as distinct from "girly" rather than "boyish", like wee boys feart of being bullied by big boys in their "no girls allowed" treehouse, in utter denial of how deeply UNmanly they are in the *maturity* sense

This was the point of the Sussex uni fine - to make universities terrified of enforcing not only trans policies, but anti-racism policies and the equivalent for every protected group It has exactly the same effect as Trump's explicit anti-DEI crusade www.theguardian.com/education/20...

I just cannot believe that people use breast cancer of all things as an example of why you should treat trans women - people who have breasts and experience breast cancer like cis women - as men Just so overwhelmingly ignorant and ridiculous. The weakest possible argument

This is slavery. I want people to understand that. Because it’s important you understand that BECAUSE IT IS SLAVERY YOUR WHITE FAVORITES DO NOT WORK - not Arendt - not Marx - not the New Left - not racial blindness If they don’t address races it doesn’t actually help

If things go right this will become a more popular pastime in the UK than Clapping For The NHS Instead of Paying Them Properly

Last two reposts are astonishing for how they take *women's actual words* and twist them into something incredibly different.

So, I want to add some further comments about this Catalan study, which comes to the 'remarkable' conclusion that reasons of leisure/fun/sexual affirmation are a significant reason why trans women go into sex work, and why that conclusion is incredibly misleading. This is going to be long.

I want you all to look at this conclusion in the fucking eye, next to the actual things said by the trans women interviewed. From the repeated testimony that trans women have no family support, are unhirable, and need to both survive and pay for transition care, the researchers concluded THIS.
