But not "with intent" in a racist way.

“I never tried to be racist” is the most bull💩 apology. Even *if* I believed he’s never intentionally been racist, if you accidentally hurt someone, you say “I messed up and I‘m sorry” if you actually cared about the people you hurt.

I do not understand why someone would own a vehicle like this in a north west London suburb parked about 20 meters from a primary school (secondary school also nearby). No longer a car, just a child-killing machine.

One of the reasons why I’m learning to teach is because this is the same problem with voice over work. A lot has gone to AI (and as such, sounds 💩!)
While I'm not quite at the point of losing my house, the harm ai has done to my animation work income is huge, like 80% gone and it makes me wonder how many freelance artists and animators ARE losing everything while billionaire con men continue to rake it in.

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

And with things like the puberty blocker trial, that doesn't simply mean involving trans adults - it means listening to young people and being led by their experience.

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

I’m cisgender, but will point out that I was wearing a bra around the age of 8 and started my period aged 10. If a trans kid started puberty early like I did, it would be necessary for them to start puberty blockers “as young as 10” or even younger.
Obviously ‘gender critical’ transphobes are losing their minds about this, and are desperately scrambling to move the goalposts (as they were always going to do! 🙄)
