'Biological' male or female used for trans+ people is misgendering and not neutral, it's a slur. It doesn't matter if a judge said it.
Media folk using it are doing a similar thing to interviewing racists and not just repeating their slurs in quotes but adopting them themselves.
It needs to stop

Sharron Davies isn't a women's rights activist and it's both disgusting and craven to describe her as such. She has championed no rights for women, just the removal of the rights of trans people.

absolutely vile to describe transphobic bullies as "women's rights activists". There is no conflict between trans rights and women's rights. It's simply a lie.
Lib Dems announce 5 peers including ex-MP Sarah Teather, Tories announce 3 including Olympic swimmer/ women's rights activist Sharon Davies, historian Simon Heffer and former cabinet minister John Redwood. Reform UK don't get any.

He didn't enable Brexit. Despite what the media claimed he spoke to more people than others did in favour of remain. But he does believe in democracy which I agree is foolhardy when direct democracy requires an informed and educated public.
Something the Guardian (pls don't share them) do not help.

The thing I still can't forgive Corbyn for is the generational harm he caused by enabling Brexit. When Starmer is gone, hopefully soon, I will feel the same way about the profound harm he has caused by making it palatable for the Far Right to ditch human rights norms. It will be his shameful legacy.

The mechanisms of media bullshit that you rail against when they're used against trans people are the same ones you used when trying to paint the left as the anti-EU problem. It's just horseshit.

A person's pronouns belong to them, are their own choice, and refusing to use them is IMHO a form of harassment.

The entirety of British politics now just consists of all parties from across the political spectrum making increasingly deranged statements about how and why they are going to deport people
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️
