I see The Times is now just straightforwardly lying about what the Supreme Court ruled. Pathetic and desperate because trans people's human rights aren't being stripped away quickly enough for them.

Tactics used to thwart the Supreme Court’s trans ruling must end

It would be a grave mistake if ministers were to acquiesce in the watering down, or subversion, of a ruling that is as right as it is clear

"There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue."

Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

I’m coining the phrase “the centrist two-step.” Step 1 is declaring that the left needs to focus on kitchen table issues instead of social issues to win back voters and step 2 is insisting that all left-wing approaches to kitchen table issues are impossible to deliver on.

Beyond the transphobic dog whistle, this is also a call for it to be considered beyond the pale to chase out sex pests and racists, which is what these old Trot fucks always mean when they whine about "deplatforming" and "heresy hunting."

Jeffy 🌿 @jeffreon.bsky.social · 18h

Mark Serwotka, who you campaigned with in Wales, said this in an article in the Morning Star today.

Why are you organising with people like this?

Everything should be on the table for discussion as we move forward, but a plea, this must be open, fraternal and comradely — no heresy hunting, no deplatforming, none of that intolerance that has driven so many people, particularly women campaigning for their sex-based rights, away from the existing left.

Think it's important to highlight the path for Reform's antisemitic image of Polanski was paved by various Sensibles & mainstream hacks normalising making digs about Polanski's appearance & previous career as a hypnotherapist: all Reform did was tie it together in the old antisemitic Svengali trope

Oh. Glinner. He was arrested for making a comment about assaulting trans people.

That triggered arrest because he has a history of stalking & harassing trans people & is currently facing separate criminal charges for "checks notes* assaulting an underage trans girl.

He wasn't arrested for a joke.

We spent the latter half of the 2010s with the press screaming daily accusations of treason at officials and politicians, lads. Some of the country’s best paid politics journos gargling about government persecution of minority groups who would have to flee, and people being dragged to the Gulag.

This sort of hysteria would once been confined to the lunatic fringe of British politics. It's now at its centre, partly thanks to the fact this network is largely a radical online right echo chamber.

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.

It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article headline titled “The Growing Divide in the Rainbow Coalition.” The subheadline reads, “More gay people are speaking out against the gender ideology of trans and queer activists.” The article is categorized under “U.S.” and written by Pamela Paul, published on October 31, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

So they demand trans people be banned from *all* "single sex spaces", then claim we were always banned and that therefore there's no cost to businesses because they should already have trans-only facilities...?
Is that seriously the position of the EHRC?
