The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

This is what @libdemwomen.bsky.social think of these "feminists"

Suffragette purple cotton bag with "Transphobia isn't feminist" and "Liberal Democrat Women" written on it.

They just need to get the message across to Davey that hategroups masquerading as "womens rights" do not belong.

Especially these👇

At 20k per day for a single room (excluding evening) up to 50k for a full hire out, I'll think they'll cope. /s

An interesting question is where the money to fund this is coming from

Most charities interested in supporting a particular group don’t typically prioritise shelling out over £50k on venue hire.

Unless they’re being bankrolled by someone with deep pockets.

Maybe the need to spread transphobia is a priority?

The reason it’s called a ‘dog whistle’ is that it’s imperceptible to those who aren’t tuned in to the ‘hidden’ meaning.

In the same way the St George’s flag says “racism” to right-wing racists under the guise of ‘patriotism’, so the suffragette flag says ‘“transphobia” under the guise of ‘feminism’

Following the trans action in Brighton last night in protest of the deeply transphobic FiLiA organisation, I encourage everyone to watch this video (originally created for BBC) where Julie Bindel and other ‘gender critical’ transphobes admit to violence and arson!

Bindel is a hypocrite!

Julie Bindel (along with fellow FiLiA speaker, Linda Bellos) were part of the ‘Angry Wimmin’ movement, which regularly got involved in graffiti, malicious damage, and ARSON!

This follows the Suffragette tradition of breaking windows & using bombs to protest!

Her pearl clutching now is hypocrisy! 😖

Wes Streeting complained that “women” (by which he means “transphobes”) are being silenced.

Funny how one of those “silenced women” gets an op-ed in national mainstream media while we get nothing.

6500 anti-trans articles in UK mainstream media in 2023 shows who is being silenced and who is not.

And *this* is how its done.

Take note, UK milquetoast politicians who are supposedly 'allies'.

*This* is how Labour should have treated our community, instead of leaning into hate & bolstering EHRC bigotry.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

#UK #Politics @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social seems to be intent to bend the rules as far as she can. In her latest move to obfuscate the origin of campaign funds, she created Bridget Phillipson Campaigns Ltd. of which MP Emma Foody is majority shareholder and sole director. The company was established

Pretending that Filia are a feminist group is deeply disingenuous. They are an anti-trans pressure group.

And agreeing with anti-trans segregation does make them transphobic.

IDGAF if they 'dispute that'.

New TKDB protest for the 1st Nov

transkids deserve better!!

TRANSPHOBIA

ALL OUT AGAINST !!

All out against transphobia! On Saturday, November 1, TERFS intend to march in London, demanding trans exclusionary, discriminatory legislation, and threatening trans people on our streets.

We cannot let this happen unchallenged- they may have been emboldened by the Supreme Court Ruling, but so have we. Just a few days after ruling, we marched through Westminster to express our rage, be with community, and make it clear that we would continue to fight for trans liberation. That march was only the start.

We need as many people possible out again on the first of November, to show up for collective liberation and show the TERFS that they will never divide us. less

@ohsarahsavage.bsky.social attacks the failure of Brighton council allowing the anti-trans faux-feminist group Fillia to hold a “conference” in the city.
