It looks like every Irish outlet (that I've seen so far) has just transcribed a wire services report about the Linehan trial that is *dripping* with anti trans bias, misgendering the victim, calling the teenage victim an "activist" but not Linehan, and eliding the fact that the victim was a child

I used to make arty pretentious #ASMR years ago. My new year's resolution is to make more. Here's a sample:

You should read this thread. 100% agree with every point.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights
I am just so unfathomably angry at the conditions trans people in the UK have to live in. A man screaming in a teenage trans girl's face about how she's a pedophile, sissy porn addict, etc, is cleared of wrongdoing. The BBC coins the incoherent term "teenage trans woman" to deny her vulnerability.

The lyrics really do reflect my early 30s (even though it's from 1987!)
