Read my two letters to the #UK:
1. Protests: I call for a review of the legal framework and the reconsideration of provisions in the Crime & Policing Bill that could restrict freedom of assembly.
2. Trans people: I warn against exclusion&zero-sum approaches

I’m keeping those messages for … a special occasion.

Along with that book I’m going to finish reading soon.

Any day now.

Bitch please! Took me two attempts to pass GCSE (seriously) and it’s my native language.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

There is not. The “early aughts sex-positive feminism” crowd cannot stomach the transphobia there.

I can

Yeah. That’s their obvious underbelly.

And they can work up from there.

And will.

Anyway, like I said, can’t be arsed. Cassandra of Troy’s curse still seems to apply.

They really aren’t. They’re the same people. They just have a front of useful idiots.

And even those are absolutely not supportive of women’s reproductive autonomy. I’ve experienced this first hand, many times.

Trans women are, once again, warning you.

And once again, you will ignore us.

Also, about wooden horses ... oh, you know what? Fuck it.

Maybe I should start drinking again.

With all due respect to Tom (seriously, not being sarcastic), I think he's wrong. Anyone who thinks this has not paid attention to how the successfully completely reversed the trajectory of trans equality in the UK in only 10 years.

They will probably manage the same with abortion.

Tom Scott @tom--scott.bsky.social · 1d

Right-wingers who think tactics they've used to criminalize abortion in the US will have the same kind of traction in the UK fail to grasp that religious fundamentalism is widely viewed as nuts in the UK, & has been for many decades, if not centuries.

As much chance of abolishing UK gun controls.

Henry Mance @henrymance.ft.com · 1d

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

This is what everyone was saying about trans stuff 10 years ago.

I warned people that the UK could face the sort of "bathroom bans" we were starting to see in the US.

Everyone told me that the UK was culturally different and there was no chance.

It happened.

Excellent thread

jane fae @janefae.bsky.social · 3d

We can, all of us, debate til the cows come home, the merits of direct action against property in Brighton.

But that horse has bolted.

It is the usual storm in a teacup, and stand by for multiple finger-wagging op eds from the usual suspects.

Think I’ve gone messy now but pleasingly did not notice. I usually do. Soft landings are the best.

Overlapped the dex by a bit to avoid inadvertently rebounding in public. Got visual timers and everything! If I let that get below 15 minutes I’m kinda playing Measy Chicken.
