Everything about this trial is insane. This is not some voluntary thing the NHS happens to be doing, it is literally the ONLY way to access medication, which demonstrably saves young people's lives, on the NHS.

This is definitive proof LGB Alliance doesn't care about the community it claims to protect. If it did, it would know that cis LGB people are ALREADY BEING HARASSED IN TOILETS

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
What progressives won’t say about abortion The sanitised narrative ignores ethical truths

Getty hasn't uploaded any images from a single Trans Day of Remembrance vigil in the UK as of right now.

An entire community came together across the country in mourning and that apparently just wasn't important enough to highlight.

I'm assuming the 4% of voters who said Zohran Mamdani's policies are realistic and still voted for Cuomo just hate themselves and everyone
NBC News' exit poll whether voters believe Zohran Mamdani's policies are realistic or not. 94% of those who said Mamdani's policies are realistic voted for him, while 4 per cent voted for Andrew Cuomo. 13% of those saying his policies weren't realistic voted for Mamdani, while 74% voted for Cuomo and 12% voted for Curtis Sliwa.

Post Brianna Wu O Subscribe Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I an somy. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist.

As one of the people who has been writing about the extreme views of 'gender critical' people for the last five years, I am so very, very tired. And reactionaries like Brianna Wu are why things are as bad as they are.

Taking this advice as a chance to share the amazing game a dear friend of mine developed, Toward Dawn!

It's a fantasy RPG inspired by Welsh mythology, featuring loads of interesting characters and places to explore. Would very much recommend giving it a go ♥️

It really needs to be emphasised how insane it is that a 57-year-old man who thinks breaking an 18-year-old's phone is a public interest issue threatened to physically assault an entire demographic of people, and now free speech laws might be changed in his favour.

It's public interest to threaten to shove a phone up someone's arse, apparently.

Worth noting that the trans girl whom Graham Linehan is accused of harassing would have been an infant when his infamously transphobic IT Crowd episode aired.

the problem, as i see it, is not that censoring erotic content is a slippery slope to censoring LGBTQ+ culture. it's that censoring erotic content IS censoring LGBTQ+ culture.
