Sorry to hear that any woman who's had a hysterectomy is automatically a man, now. Sperm hitting a dead-end makes you a bloke, time to change the gender marker on all your documents and choose a male name.

What's that Barbara? Your husband jizzed in a condom? Guess you're Brad, now. Happy birthday.

But of course she does!…

Because she’s an obsessive, transphobic, BILLIONAIRE!!! 😖

Yet public organisations are being criticised by the trans-hostile media for not just rolling over to wealthy BULLIES using their money to force their IDEOLOGY on others! 😣

"Express" really is just a description of the exit speed and lack of thought put into their opinions.

Perhaps they should rebrand to Ex-lax?

Just so, and - having said for a decade that something much like this was coming, if we didn’t move decisively to avoid it - I cannot tell you how *incredibly * hostile more or less everyone who considers themselves Sensible and Moderate was, to being told this. And yet, here we now are.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country.
For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable. I October 7, 2025 at 8:43 AM • Everybody can reply

We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.

Lie in bold on front page first, publish near-invisible correction months/years later. Standard approach to most mainstream journalism these days, apparently... zero integrity or investigative rigour, just propaganda and outrage.

Tories promoting themselves on YouTube and you can't even say you're not interested, like you can with other posts. This is on ad-blocked Home page.

Good news: most people in the comments are telling them to fuck off

Bad news: most of those people telling them to fuck off are saying "vote Reform"

Not so active on here lately (and probably not for a while) as am trying to wallow in some joy, working and sorting important life stuff, while that's all still feasible 😅☺️

Hope you're all getting as much joy as possible, too!! 💜

I don't recall them being so upset at the existence of trans people in pop culture when we were only portrayed as punchlines and monsters, and their favorite comedians don't know how to shut up about us. What's changed is suddenly they're hearing the stories we want to tell

You spend years calmly trying to tell people what's happening, why LGBT+ people are becoming more unsafe, and people look at you with pity and talk in private about how they worry for your mental health.

Comfort drives apathy. If people aren't impacted, they don't notice. We've been here before...
