Transphobic people aren't scared of trans people in the sense that they're worried about being harmed by us. They know they have all the power, we know they're likely to harm us. They're afraid that we upend their worldview by existing
These freaks just want control, not protecting

This was such a TERRIFYING experience, she was so fightened of the trans woman and the presumed threat she posed, that Chloe had to start following her through the train station in order to record and stalk her. The gender terrorism that bored cis people have to deal with every day. 😢

Listening to you on catchup, @mrjamesob.bsky.social - I think it’s almost pitiable Trump’s cabinet even act like that in what they thought was a private text group. It’s such a pit of vipers they can never switch off the MAGA nonsense. How sad.

Hey @mrjamesob.bsky.social has this crossed your desk? Seems the widely predicted catastrophic deluge of private school students into the deprivations of the state sector has… stubbornly failed to manifest.

@iaindale.bsky.social listening to you on catchup. Language options in a medical setting are for an obvious reason. Even if you have been a British citizen for years and speak good English, it may still be your 2nd language & you want important info like medical / legal to be completely understood.

Morning, @mrjamesob.bsky.social - Reform & Tory migration rhetoric focuses on the boats - a tiny slice of the total they know won’t stop. Migration is a political pressure valve for the right wing, they’ll never really cut it. What then remains to blame? The billionaire owned economy?

Emily Thornberry, "Does the European Union want Britain to have another referendum and to have another set of negotiations to get back into the European Union?"
"I suspect they don't want to go through the whole thing all over again"
@terryreintke.bsky.social do you think the EU wants the UK back?

Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk talking about ‘1/12’ people in London being illegal migrants, according to the Telegraph. Ferrari’s guests all heavily imply this is about boat crossings - as are Reform.
Problem being these are, according to the report itself, mostly students on lapsed visas.
Liars!

Never forget that the Daily Mail called this brave woman, now being threatened with deportation, ‘smug’ and ‘woke’. (Still, they’re a paper who historically supported blackshirts so I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised).
Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

It would be premature of Will Lewis, CEO of @washingtonpost.com, to feel relief at this result since @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social says a dossier has been sent to the police. If it's anything like Prince Harry's skeleton argument it will make troubling reading...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
