The world is rapidly being divided up between free democratic nations that follow international law on one side, and geopolitical bullies with no respect for international law or human rights on the other. The UK needs to decide which side it wants to stand on.

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.
After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

This exposes the core lie on which the entirety of “gender-critical” transphobia is based.
The transphobes’ entire campaign is based on the false claim that they represent cis-women.
The number of signatories to this, is way higher the number of signatories to their transphobic WDI “declaration”.

I supported & advised a research project by a victim of FGM about FGM.
It was extremely stressful for both of us (much more so than my own research even). From this experience, in my opinion however horrible you have been told FGM is, the reality of it is many times worse.

"so there's an anthropologist who was raised in the US and got FGM as an adult and now goes around writing essays and getting interviewed by high-profile publications about how the harms of FGM are overblown"
Ok, hear me out: we need to replace all anthropology departments with dungeons
