An extra lane appears on the motorway and you slid into it like a like a Hollywood star, but it was only a slip road and you had to skulk back out almost straight away
Still, I saw you and respect you oh motorway lane pedant 🫡

This seems like a gloriously poetic way to annoy the BBC whenever you get a free 10 minutes. Pick a random article and complain 😁

I understand the value of being in a room with Labour politicians.
There is a trade off happening.
It is valuable for Labour politicians, as a token to show they are doing *something* to distract from all the harm.
It could also be valuable for trans people. Talking truth to power.

Absolutely certain that things will go against us again soon with something or other, but the transphobes aren't getting it all their own way

I can confirm that Sex Matters has been refused permission to bring its anti-democratic, exclusionary, and bigoted challenge to the inclusive space at Hampstead Ponds. More to follow.

All these "Tories" defecting to Reform are just so blatant; they don't believe in Reform or care about the working classes
They just want power, at any cost. Well, anyone else's cost

My daughter used to be in Rainbows, like the girl in this story.
She coloured in. She iced some biscuits. Did some games.
She was welcomed.
She played, laughed and joined in.
The cruelty is entirely the point. When did bullying little girls become the norm. 1/2

Reading how the UK Girl Guides has treated a 6 year old child is beyond heartbreaking. This story should be published everywhere except we know the mainstream news would never dare.

The BBC is lying in order to further the deliberate dehumanization of trans people. Which sounds like hyperbole but is the only logical conclusion given the evidence

I recall a conversation back in 2016 with a speech psychologist studying hearing. There are well studied (but not well understood) differences in hearing between genders. She found that the hearing profiles of Trans women correspond to Cis women and Trans men to Cis men.
Scientific research of gender transition has been stuck on "should these people be allowed to transition" for 50 years, so we don't know shit about how transitioning actually works.
Okay, transphobes freaking out because trans woman makes good on Broadway, yadah, yadah. But you skimmed right over the interesting bit. Estrogen made her feet smaller?? This is the kind of weird factoid I need to know more about. Is there scientific backing for this? Is it just anecdotal?
