One day people will learn the difference between bourgeoisie and middle class, but I guess today’s not that day!
Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

The government and NHS know helplines do nothing, this is purely symbolic so the press and ignorant liberals can say “look, they are still going above and beyond to help the transgenders”. It doesn’t matter that it’s pointless, that a helpline can’t replace actual medical care! It’s just for show
Since the government repeatedly signposts trans people to helplines I searched for evidence for their effectiveness in reducing distress in people with gender dysphoria, who cannot access medical care. There isn’t any.

I thought this government and health secretary was all about evidence.

Contrived centrist slop from the Guardian, attempting to position Labour as “rules-based”.

A government that supported genocide, ordered a study of transphobic healthcare in breach of research ethics & wants to end the right to a fair trial dating back to Magna Carta, “rules-based”? Come off it!

People may find it confusing that trans folk are totally shut out of the media yet the BBC is accused of pro trans bias. It’s because the current anti trans movement is eliminationist, they want us completely gone from society. Until the BBC advocates for this they will be accused pro trans bias!

Taking away kids legally prescribed medicine in the name of protecting them, I hope these kids survive long enough to see the monsters that did this get fully prosecuted for their crimes

How do people concentrate on zoom for more than an hour, seriously? Is it just my ADHD brain or does everyone have this issue?

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

Aunt just created a group chat called “aunt and nieces” with me and my sister. I don’t even see the point of correcting her, like it’s been more than 10 years, she’s clearly doing it on purpose!

10 Years
I was a teenager when I came out and started transitioning, it was the best bloody choice I ever made.
But today people just like me are denied medical treatment simply at the whim of our eugenicist "Labour" government!

This £5m works out at £1.16 per pupil in Secondary schools in the UK. So maybe 1 book for every 6-7 pupils…?

They are playing

“sounds-a-lot-of-money”

just like the Tories did.
Rachel Reeves earmarks £5m for secondary school libraries. Less than £1,200 per school.

You couldn’t even replace the carpet for that.

It's my sincere belief that Wes Streeting should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity and held accountable for the harm he directly caused.
This research was published 14 months ago. In *Nature*.

Three months BEFORE Wes Streeting announced a "permanent ban" on puberty-blockers.

& yesterday, the Tories insisted you don't even need a clinical trial to keep that ban, forever...

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.

even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.

they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

BBC News - Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is some fucking outrageous.
The Labour Party must be destroyed
Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

I restored and colorized this c.1910 photo of Magnus Hirschfeld's 4th, 6th, and 7th patients. They were three of the first trans men to receive medical care and legal support in Germany over 120 years ago. I can't help but appreciate their dapper sense of fashion.

Nigel Farage didn't racially abuse anyone in a hurtful way and Graham Linehan doesn't harass trans people.

I just noticed that, rather than portray the accurate story that She was 17, and legally a child, The BBC ARTICLE JUST REMOVED HER AGE COMPLETELY 💀
“Ms Brooks, who was 18 at the time, is a trans woman who was born a biological male.”

Aside from the gross last part of this BBC News sentence, wasn’t she 17 at the time?

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

I don't actually care whether Farage is personally racist. I care whether he continues to promote racist ideas and policies. Which he does. What he truly believes in his heart is an irrelevance to me.

A lot of things have happened over the last decade and one of the biggest is how many 'progressives' have revealed themselves to be perfectly fine with racism and transphobia.
All the supposedly progressive people saying 'Nigel Farage's racism doesn't matter. His fans love it'.

It matters whether the leader of the party leading all the opinion polls is an outright racist. It matters if he called black people 'wogs' and said 'gas them' to Jews. Not everything is a game
