Honestly terrifying that the BBC can run an unhinged story about lesbians being forced to have sex with trans women, with one of the main sources being a rapist who responded to the story's publication by calling for trans people to all be hung, and the Official Consensus is they are too pro-trans

News in that children are now being prescribed weight loss jabs on the NHS.

Where are the trials for the use of these experimental drugs in children? How do you know it’s safe?
📢 SHOW US THE EVIDENCE 📢
All so utterly predictable and fucked up.

They normalised hating trans people in print and on TV, I'm going to collect some of the vilest stuff MPs have said.
We said it wouldn't stop with us.

I wrote a piece last week about how the Far Right since Trump/Brexit have normalised discussing in public previously unacceptable things.
Tonight’s Peston show: “Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black and Asian people a racist or realist?”

It’s never a surprise how many - mostly white - people are willing to gloss over or excuse how deeply bigotry runs through British society
Reform’s message couldn’t be clearer, and their supporters know exactly what they’re signing up for
FWIW I don’t buy the “disaffected voter” excuse

Are some anti-trans people trans in denial? Maybe, but, like saying homophobes are all just secretly closested gay people, you are once again blaming a minority for their own oppression if you think this is standard.
The overwhelming majority of transphobes are cis people. Focus on them.

The way Brianna Ghey's death played out will always upset me.
There have been a lot of tragedies these past few years and we'll see even more, but there's something about the way the press, politicians and family continue to cynically abuse her memory that fills me with such deep sadness.

when you're a trans woman online you'll inevitably end up having the experience of just going about your business like "I had soup today" and suddenly a complete stranger is melting down at you like "So that's what you think being a woman is? Eating SOUP?????"

I have to say the worst possible narrative to come out of the Trump era is that every attack on the humanity and survival of every oppressed group is actually a diversion to distract from every other attack on another oppressed group simultaneously.

Whenever i see a politician bloviating about how the NHS needs to stop dealing with equality issues and "get back to treating patients"...
...my brain adds on the end "except for trans patients, clearly"
They mean to stop our healthcare, and know that if they don't SAY it out loud, they'll succeed

British transphobes have been doing heavy lifting for Trump for years, Cass, Rowling, Streeting, Truss, Badenoch. They’ve all laundered hatred which is now being wielded by proxy. Let’s shut these bigots down

Okay, like - thank you liberal cis people for posting about how "valid" trans people are, I get you want to be nice, but that is a functionally immaterial issue. The danger right now is not about being "valid" on a psychological level but about trans people's material rights being stripped away
