Yes, because if it wasn’t this, then lots of important white people would now have to go to prison and the irresponsible clowns who cheered them on would have to resign in disgrace

As a ceasefire is about to come into effect, it's important to remember that every death, every injury, every bereavement, every destroyed building, every pile of rubble, every bullet fired and every bomb dropped was the fault of Hamas. They own all of this.

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 22h

I'm 24 years old. I have a mortgage and own my own home, and I have a full time job.

But under Cass' recommendations Levy, I wouldn't be trusted with hormones if he decides to consider it.

Shows how ridiculous it all is.

These new figures come in the wake of 2024's Cass Review of gender services for children, which recommended the creation of a 'follow-through service' for 17 to 25-year-olds. Cass said this would help "ensure continuity of care and support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" and "allow clinical and research follow-up data to be collected". This sparked fears that access to healthcare, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be restricted or even banned for under-25s -

This is the energy progressive politicians need to bring with them at all times.

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.

Tice "green party leader Zack Polanski is a weirdo. Changed his name, claimed hypnosis could increase women's breast size, thinks me should compete in women's sport, thinks women can have a penis. Other than that he's fine. Vote Green. Get weirdo."

Good stuff well, not the prison spaces, but it's a fuck sight better than the usual question time wank. They won't invite him back any time soon though I suspect.

A good number of these places seemed relatively stable recruitment-wise at any rate. Their funding doesn't cover the bills now. Private sector a bit different, more subject to slow down, but basically I think this is the downstream impact of inflation and NIC.

Gift @giftmacher.bsky.social · 2d

No, not really, a good chunk of what I'm seeing is also academic, a mix of inflation making operating too expensive and over built capacity in expectation of growth.

it is easier to avoid feeling shame and humiliation if no one sees or cares what you do. Which is why Kemi Badenoch is still talking.

Are other people noticing a lot of redundancies happening at the moment? The sector I work in (biotech) has been shedding jobs for six months or more now and I doubt that's just a local thing.

On an unrelated note, might become a proper.

Ah but look at the GDP on that! Etc. etc.

At least Britain's forensic leadership have had the good sense to steer clear of this obvious Charybdis of jobs and money. For that I am truly grateful.

AI is fucked and the UK is balls deep in it.

Trans Liberation Group @transliberationgroup.org.uk · 3d

Over the next few days we will be posting our demands into 4 overarching demands/group
Today Demand 0 - A party for everyone

Demand Number zero: A Party For Everyone.

Require all elected party representatives to be bound by the programme democratically agreed by the membership, which will have trans liberation at its core.

Ensure that elected representatives are held accountable to the membership and censure and remove any representatives who break from this programme (including promoting transphobic bigotry or discrimination).

Create a transparent disciplinary process for all members to prevent bigotry and discrimination, overseen by a democratically-elected committee including representation for trans people. This should be guided by the principles of transformative justice, with efforts to resolve issues through mediation and education where possible.

I'm so sorry mate, I hope the heartache gives way to good memories sooner rather than later.

Folks, it would be hugely appreciated if you could help James raise the money they need to get this sorted.

Please donate if you can and share it about.

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.
