“Take it” is what doctors have been doing since 2008, and all they got was a near 30% pay cut and many needlessly dying due to Covid. It is “beyond belief” that Labour still haven’t restored doctors pay to 2008 levels. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

There's going to be a lot of people telling trans people in the UK to "calm down" and their expressions of rage "are not helpful" to the organizations caving to fascism.
Fuck em. This is not about being helpful. This is about being recognized as equal human beings by society.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

IANAL but it seems these organisations have been advised that it is safer to knowingly breach the equalities act by discriminating on the basis of gender assignment than to face the costs of being sued by terf bigots being bankrolled by, well, some of the worst people in the world.

I know that this is a difficult financial attack to handle but imagine if this was any other minority group being tossed aside because of legal threats? It’s not going to stop with us. What if some group next decides they want hetero only WI?

Autistic liberation isn’t about being palatable.
It’s about refusing to contort ourselves into shapes that make everyone else’s life easier while destroying our own.

We have all seen the movie The Great Escape. And as a result, we all think we know the story of this legendary mass breakout of prisoners-of-war

Lots of ways to be a man! Problems can lie in fitting into societal expectations of 'manliness', and men can be crap at dealing with that. I've never wanted to hurt myself, but many do, and a British man kills himself every two hours. It's why I support www.mensmindsmatter.org #InternationalMensDay

I signed in 2013, I was going through bad MH & it was part of my recovery strategy, ppl needed my organs to be viable. It wasn’t just my life at risk, it was life/death for them too, as well as family/friends. Sounds counter-intuitive, but suicide options reduce when you need to preserve your body.😂
Finally got round to doing this. Only takes two minutes to opt in. They probably won't want my liver. Or my trousers. www.organdonation.nhs.uk

"If you don't let me punch you in the face, the other guy will kick you in the nuts" doesn't seem like a sustainable political message.
