Trans rights are human rights.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays
Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

I won't apologise for comparing "gender critical" extremists like Joyce with fascists.

She may not regard herself as fascist, but the manifestation of her beliefs is fascist-adjacent and I doubt you'll find a bona fide fascist, anywhere, who'd disagree with them.

Speaking, walking, quacking etc.
Nothing will satisfy the transphobes other than the complete eradication of trans people from society.

Helen Joyce, of Sex Matters, is quite open about this when she's speaking to fellow transphobes. There are receipts.

We know from history that you don't compromise with fascists, you defeat them.
Transphobes: "ban gender-affirming care for children - there's no evidence puberty blockers are safe!"

*New clinical trial assessing risks & benefits of puberty blockers announced*

Transphobes: "No - don't do that!"

If Linehan can call that child a sissy, AGP, and misgender her, and be found not guilty of harassment, then I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL to not give a hoot about legal threats from GCs for "libeling" them when you point out that they're nazi-adjacent bigots, funded by the American right. Oh, and nonces.

God I hate this man with such passion.
Trans Safety Network are extremely concerned that DHSC are continuing to solicit input on trans healthcare from Bayswater and other anti trans groups after a reply to our previous concerns stated they would not work with groups who promote harmful practices or discriminatory views

And now I have one too.
I have a private code phrase known to no one but myself that I will use to verify it's really me if I ever meet my past or future self via time travel.

One of the interesting things (to me) about the transphobe-led assault on appropriate healthcare for trans kids is the complete disregard for lived experience.

Like many trans people of my generation, I went through childhood and adolescence with no support.

The Guardian wouldn't have printed this if they couldn't stand it up.

If Farage wants to lay this to rest, he has a very simple solution open to him - sue.

But he won't.

Because he knows what the outcome will be.

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

UK media: every time you quote Sex Matters on anything related to trans people, it’s the equivalent of quoting the Flat Earth Society on anything related to space or air travel.

They’re unqualified cranks.

I totally agree with this👇🏼

Even though I’m white, I find the flags intimidating because of the tribalism that goes with the racism of those who put them up.. I’m not in their tribe, so I’m the enemy..

Case in point is council workers getting threatened when they are removing them 🤷🏼‍♂️
More than half of ethnic minority Brits say the England flag has now become a racist symbol, with Brits of all colours now tending to say the raising of the flag is mostly about expressing anti-migrant, or anti ethnic-minority sentiment

Notice a difference in how Democracy Docket framed Trump's threats vs how legacy media did? This is no accident. They are more interested in normalizing Trump to please their corporate overlords. Democracy Docket is only interested in providing you the truth. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If the government leave X, where will they get their policy ideas from?
Given that Grok, X’s AI tool, is now posting holocaust-denial commentary on X, I’d say we should well beyond the casual-review-but-do-nothing stage of investigation and moving swiftly on to legal challenges and all govt accounts/responsible media leaving X immediately.
🚨 Labour MPs are calling for a minister-led review of the government’s use of X, warning it poses growing risks to democracy and public safety

@politicshome.bsky.social understands a review is currently being carried out by officials, but without ministerial oversight

Well colour me shocked & stunned.. Farage.. outed as a toxic little racist sh*t at school who loved anti semitism too..

Someone who’s put so much time and energy into stirring racial hatred, even had #FarageRiots named after him.. a racist🙄

It’s more shocking MSM platforms him so enthusiastically

Another big obsession with the far right is Cancel Culture. Cancel Culture happens when someone knowingly says something racist or extreme. Their agent, publisher etc drop them so as not to damage their brands. Yet here we have an apologist for child abuse & she won’t even be impacted.

For flips sake
You then get extreme right ppl seeking to excuse paedophilia.

Megyn Kelly - “He was into the barely legal type, like, he liked 15-year-old girls," Kelly continued. "I'm not trying to make an excuse for this, I'm just giving you facts — that he wasn't into, like, 8-year-olds”.

I just can't...
What a world we’ve reached - where pedophilia is a partisan issue - where some pedophilia is bad pedophilia but other forms of pedophilia are “let’s not get TOO worked up about THAT sort of pedophilia “
