The last number I saw was that the UK media are putting out 154 articles about trans people - almost all misinformation - every single month on average.
It feels like at least one of those breaks through each week to become a huge conversation. It's exhausting.

Feels rote to say “this is just Meta doing to more people what they always did to sex workers…” but it could not be more obvious, especially when they justify removing sexual and reproductive health information for violating their own “human trafficking” policy

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the situation is in the UK. There are eight people on hunger strike and David Lammy recently claimed he wasn’t even aware of it. That hunger strikers may actually die is barely even news.

I feel this should absolutely terrify everyone, but politicians like Starmer and the UK media have normalised so much far right rhetoric, most of the population won’t bat an eyelid.
To go in front of Europe at this time, when the far right is looming, and say to weaken human rights…
That’s a Nazi.
