This is the same desperate and pushy correspondence we have seen from Sex Matters many times before; the similarities between the "Equality Watchdog" and these anti-rights hate groups grow by the day. www.equalityhumanrights.com/our-work/adv...

JK Rowling has denied the nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ people in the Holocaust, uses the money she earns to legislate trans people out of existence and asked her followers to photograph women going to the washroom.

Keira Knightley: we all gotta figure out how to live together

Rowling, whose best-selling young adult series and accompanying movie franchise sparked a pop culture phenomenon in the 2000s, has drawn backlash in recent years for her outspoken views against the transgender community.

When asked by Decider if she knew about a fan "boycott" of Rowling's work, Knightley, 40, said she was "not aware of that."

"I'm very sorry," said Knightley, who was joined by her "Woman in Cabin 10" director Simon Stone. "You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

It was effective communication because it was sincere, and sourced from a different place.

This isn’t about political messaging. It’s connecting with people on an entirely different level.

It’s a messaging of hope and possibility - not hate and fear.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

Unless you're trans in which case piss off? I think that's your current stance on it.

The EHRC has written to the Minister for Women and Equalities, demanding that she rushes through their dreadful draft Code of Practice.

This is a bizarre intervention from a supposedly impartial public body.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

Trump and his sycophants desperately trying to get him a Nobel Prize feels exactly like when parents give their spoiled brat a new expensive toy every time it's another kid's birthday, or he'll be an absolute nightmare.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Given the competing self interests of Polanski (make a fairer more sustainable world to live in) and Spectator owner multimillionaire Marshall (avoid paying taxes on hoarded wealth), I’m going to go with Polanski

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 1d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

How did the party conference season affect party leader popularity?

Lib Dems and Greens (Sir Ed Davey and Zack Polanski respectively) seeing the biggest improvement in this regard.

Whilst Labour's, Keir Starmer, his the least popular and that remains unchanged.

And the popularity of leaders, compared to a week ago:

Kemi Badenoch -33 - up from -35;
Sir Keir Starmer -50 - unchanged;
Sir Ed Davey -7 - up from -15;
Nigel Farage -36 - up from -37;
Zack Polanski -9, up from -16.
