So, apparently cis 'allies' need an explainer.
When you deadname or misgender someone just because you dislike them you are still perpetuating transphobia. Bigotry remains bigotry no matter who the target is.
But even aside from that 1/

Well, yorpers, we waited for the conference. this is the conference.
So, i think it is safe to say, fuck your party and it capitulation to transphobes. We were right not to trust you, and y'all can either apologise to trans people and drop this disaster of a party or fuck off.

I am more than comfortable with calling out allies who can't even say the word trans. Like no, Rowling's problem isn't with "queer people", "the LGBTQ+ community", or "the gays." It's trans people. She hates TRANS people, she wants TRANS people dead, and she's TRANSphobic.
Say the fucking word.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I’m glad pressure from the Greens has forced Labour’s budget a little to the left. All the more reason to vote Green!

Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.
I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.

It was an honour to attend the RNIB's 'Out of Sight: vision rehabilitation' drop-in.
I heard about the difference that timely access to local authority support - known as vision rehabilitation, can make, and learnt more about this vital but often overlooked part of social care.

bbc leadership banned their employees from attending pride a few years ago.
i don't know how that works in practice but it was around the same time they dumped stonewall.
the obvious anti-lgbt+ bias at the bbc has gone ignored for years now. they're a disgusting organisation.

Can't even believe how lazy this attempt to manufacture their story is. Not just the naked bias, but the fact he hasn't even done the basic research to figure out why trans people have beef with gendergp.

DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

'return of the jedi' is an objectively bad film and the only reason ppl like it is bcos george lucas betrayed the character of princess leia he'd set up in 1 & 2 and stuck her in that gold bikini to make nerdy teens happy.
