If you saw Shabana Mahmood’s idiotic and insulting display in the Commons this week and wondered: what kind of slack-jawed ignoramus would fall for this abysmal bullshit about how her ethnicity means you can’t tell her not to do migrant crackdowns? Well, the answer is: Guardian columnists.

We're an undeniable border violation. We exist and we show that the border between male and female is both permeable and not simply a hierarchy. So we have to be dealt with the way border problems are - extreme violence or a complex series of exceptions.
I think you cannot understand anything until you realise the scale of cis society's obsession with transfeminity and the lengths it goes to not only to quarantine and punish it, but construct social rituals to navigate its presence in everyday cis life.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Israel continues to block aid and materials into Gaza for shelters, thus purposefully denying conditions necessary for life as winter comes on. They are continuing the genocide in full view of the world.

The "Social Democrat" Prime Minister blamed the defeat of her mayoral candidate for the capital, out loud, on 'crime committed by “people coming from outside”', thus proving that it's asshole all the way down with them now.
"Among the reasons cited by analysts for the Social Democrats’ decline in Copenhagen were voter fatigue over the prime minister’s hardline policies on issues such as integration and immigration, which have partly inspired a newly unveiled asylum and migration policy in Britain."
