Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

Denying an entire group of people their identity and therefore existence, let alone science, is vile

Trans women are women
Trans men are men. 🏳️‍⚧️
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.

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.

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, NOT as a moral standard, but as a social contract. If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, they are not covered by it. In other words, the intolerant aren't deserving of your tolerance.

Asking for help bridging a gap again. I'm still struggling with basic cost of living expenses. Trying to get part time JSB but even though I have filled out the online forms they're asking for all the information again on *manual* forms. I have only 30h/month work.

Me: talking about the death of Mussolini “One source alleges Petacci's execution was not planned and that she died throwing herself on Mussolini in a vain attempt to protect him from the bullets.”

My wife: “Good luck with that.”

Transphobia makes cisgendered people less safe.

It’s not the most important reason to oppose transphobia. But it’s another good reason.
The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look.

This is off the scale sexism and misogyny.

Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

Someone else shared that “shock, denial, and grief” are predictable responses to a child coming out as trans. I fail to understand how those are appropriate reactions to a child confiding that to a parent. Maybe I am the weirdo. #TransPeopleAreBeautiful
