Fun fact I couldn't mention until now: At the time Graham Linehan was harassing Sophia Brooks online, I was contacted by her former teachers and School Safeguarding Team to get her latest contact details, as they were worried sick about her being publicly stalked by an abusive alcoholic celebrity.

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

In 2023, a man was rightly charged for calling the then-Leader of the Scottish Greens Patrick Harvie, a "deviant" on the street, for supporting trans people.

In 2025, a man was CLEARED of calling a trans minor a “sissy-porn watching groomer” on the street.

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

* Astronauts in space have never eaten the product known as "astronaut ice cream." It's too crumbly and dangerous (you need to keep flying bits to an absolute minimum in zero-gravity with all those sensitive instruments around). "Astronaut ice cream" was created to sell in gift shops. Really.

I'm taking this headline literally and assuming that all EU states must recognise gay marriage in an explicitly Poland-rebuking way.

One for the #speirgorm community.
I wonder if any Irish historians on here can help me identify any of the people in this picture? Early 1900s probably in Dublin, it's Tom Clarke in the middle and I think I know who it is on the left of the image. Any of the others though?

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

One wonders what *would*.

Could the Beeb point out where in the Supreme Court ruling it said you HAD to do shite like this? This is a quite deliberate choice (and shows very much the influence of that "Seen in Journalism" account that whinges every time a trans person is treated with any kind of dignity in the media)
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

I took all of your advice.

The new boards are now live in the SLATED Landmark Collection.

Feel free to point out any errors. It was a bit of a rush job.

Reposts would be amazing.

There is no defending the BBC as an institution. It needs to be dismantled.

Okay I'm high, sad and have shit to say, but I state that context in case I fuck it up, since you can't SEE me

I have something to say as a cis/bisexual woman.

Would you fuck a trans...

that's a stupid question. Unless you're a trans person asking if I'd like to fuck YOU personally.

Here's why

Seen some people misunderstanding the point of TSN pointing out our previous communications with the government about this. It's not because we expect them to have empathy for trans people or to listen out of the goodness of their hearts. It's to prove that they know exactly what they're doing.
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
