As a transgender woman trying to just live a simple quiet life in the UK, I'm pretty well placed to say this paragraph is complete bullshit and this government are shameless liars as well as hateful bigots who are actively shutting me out of participation in society.

yeah, i think i noticed the "gruel" thing a while back and forgot about it again. the onomatopoeia is completely dominant in my head. 😀 either way, still not an appetising thought... although, looking [again] at what gruel actually is... doesn't seem all that bad really, as long as it's hot...

well, it might be if Apple Passwords worked on Linux too. 😀

(I am aware other password managers besides 1Password work on Linux. Just that Apple Passwords, which I presume is what you mean by the sherlocking ref, isn't one of them. 😀)

Maybe they’re the kind of people that don’t actually like food, are disgusted by the idea of eating. It’s just fuel for them… wait, is it meant to be a play on “fuel”?

the YP are the Left that the Right want to be fighting. They'll get air-time all right, for all their infighting. That'll take all the oxygen.

And *this* is how its done.

Take note, UK milquetoast politicians who are supposedly 'allies'.

*This* is how Labour should have treated our community, instead of leaning into hate & bolstering EHRC bigotry.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

the law has never defeated the fascists; often enough it sits on their side. only when they're beaten down by force of arms can the law come back into the room and put a noble gloss on stringing up the leftovers.

Pretty amazed that zack polanski straight up, genuinely defended trans women to piers morgan on his tv show. Can't recall the last time I saw a politician do more than just a soundbite and walk away from it.
