“You see the transgenders were simply fooled into thinking they had a place in our society they should simply have realised they are an unwanted underclass and stayed in the closet those poor fools”

Shall we examine the barriers to work? Shall we talk about the impact of covid, austerity and late stage capitalism on mental health? Shall we talk about the impact of societal hostility on minorities? What about the pitiful state of mental health research and services?? Nah, social media mate.

Tldr racism, with black communities leveled for highways and car parks built for white suburbanites who left the city for government funded white only communities.
Explicitly by design. This is Boston & Cincinnati. In NYC highways were built too low to block buses reaching black communities.

Remain convinced that political journalists in the UK have become addicted to drama and click bait because it keeps them employed and they’ll tear apart the country to stay on top
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

Incredibly disappointed by my university, and it was so obvious they'd realised how profitable it was in the pandemic when they lied about returning us in person.

When you see a fake AI video of a black woman surrounded by children saying it's the government's responsibility to feed her children, the person who made it isn't trying to convince you of anything. They're just trying to make a buck and have no scruples.

Just like 'Queer As Folklore' this is a subject very very close to my heart. It's very bloody exciting. What a lucky sod!
