TRANS VS THE WORLD

Image of Magneto, played by Ian McKellen in the X-Men movies, with a post by Conor Smith @conorshmith overlaid saying "Magneto's plan in the first X-Men film is flawless: find the senator most vocally targeting your minority group and turn them into a horrible goo."

My Labour MP hasn't signed it but has said he will demand a vote and will vote down any kind of exclusion. I do wonder if some MPs are keeping their heads down for key battles such as the vote on EHRC guidance.

The new Tron film isn't some masterpiece of herculean effort and cutting-edge film making talent, it's a film that looks like every other film that came out this year.

PoggleReboocca @pogglerebecca.bsky.social · 15m

In a weird way we're almost heading back to a time where a film had to be about the story rather than graphical fidelity, like we're seeing with the indy video game market. Because amazing photorealistic visuals are boring as fuck. They're overused effects that can be produced on an iPhone.

I've said it before. Tron is arguably a good film simply because it's the result of a bunch of people putting in extraordinary amounts of effort and talent into making an amazing yet glorified bleeding edge tech demo that was very impressive *for its time*.

Micah @rincewind.run · 3h

that Tron is a franchise in the first place never really made a lot of sense to me, it's not like the original was even that much of a cult classic

I guess Legacy did okay at the box office? probably mostly on the strength of those Olivia Wilde promo pictures

but who was demanding Jared Leto Tron

A new report suggests that the disastrous opening weekend for the Jared-Leto-starring sequel may lead to Disney pulling the plug on the Grid once and for all.

That's my theory. I think eradicating trans people is a personal point of pride to her.

Riddle me this: is we're a fad that's going away, why are they so fucking obsessed with us, with what toilet we use and with removing our human rights?

Pumpkin Spice Chicken @werechicken.bsky.social · 1h

The right wingers really want to believe trans people are a fad and want to point to data thinking we are going away.

We are not going away.

If anything this shows that people are going to treat strangers asking about trans people with suspicion…

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.

I'm trying to be positive, but everything feels really bleak at the moment. I don't think these people have the moral courage to look at their actions and realise what they're doing is objectively and horrifically wrong.

I mean I just want to know what their long game is here.

They're ideological anti-trans exterminationists. I don't think they're going to drop this because simply it's too difficult or whatever.

Amazing how that evil, dusty old bitch is showing her hand by clarifying that it's 'days' rather than 'sitting days'.

That said, she doesn't seem to be waiting for a break where they can put this down without having a chance for a vote, she wants to exterminate trans people NOW *stamps feet*

Scottish greens have been the stand out party in British Politics during the transphobic moral panic.

I’m delighted that the GPEW are catching up…

Anyway if you're interested in a left wing movement that wants to deliver real change based in the present and planning for the future, rather than naval-gazing about past glories - Join the Scottish Greens.

Joined GPEW already? Good news, you can be a member of both!

"Boycott Hamas" is so incredibly revealing of the completely ignorant and utterly dimwitted position most anti-Palestinian activists come from.

They very clearly know absolutely fuck all about this situation, but they've still picked a side 🤪

This society is so fucking fucked. Let's start from scratch. Billionaires should do a billion pounds worth of actual work before they get their money and teachers should teach rather than trying to ✌️trigger✌️ their students. Who's with me?

Weird 4 panel meme

Panel 1 has a cartoon character in a top hat. Text reads "I'm going to challenge you"

Panel 2 the character looks more erratically drawn. Text reads "so challenging"

Panel 3 is more zoomed in and more erratic. Text reads "everything good is bad"

Panel 4 is a very close up look at the character looking more deranged. Text reads "the only way to learn is to HATE"

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.

I've been saying this is the plan for years. Fascists saw the blind, irrational hatred that TERFs had for trans people, and capitalised on that to get them to force another situation where the ECtHR could defend the human rights of another innocent minority, to then push to leave it.
