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.
