05.12.2025 19:05 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I think itβs snobbery to say you must have a degree in history to be a historian. Countless great history books have been written by people who donβt

05.12.2025 17:43 β π 1784 π 397 π¬ 3 π 28There is much to say on this, but the very first point that must be made as a matter of urgency to the NEC is that excluding trans women is not a "compromise position", it is a segregation position, a biased position, a transphobic position and a morally repugnant position.
