I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:

"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."

All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

Just ordered a load of Christmas cards from @gailmyerscough.co.uk whose cards are the best I've found. Still got some from previous years, but she does update the designs.

Support small businesses and all that.

Grok Provides Extremely Detailed and Creepy Instructions for Stalking Grok provided us with detailed stalking manuals and gave us Google Maps links to hotels where it said we could "surprise" a real celebrity.

I find this deeply alarming -- Grok is giving stalkers extremely detailed information about how to locate targets, install spyware on their devices, leverage revenge porn against them, and way more ultra-creepy advice

Labour: solving problems that don't exist by doing the most possible harm to a minority, while signal-boosting their main political opponents.

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.

Why is the fucking AWFUL #BBC sending GPs questionnaires about mh? They sent out 5,000 questionnaires to 40,000 GPs with no targeting at all, received 752 responses, and then write a hit piece with the headline:

You may not know this because our government and media don't want you to know

There are thousands of trained doctors in the UK right now โ€” unemployed. Not because they're unnecessary. Not because there's no demand. But because the government refuses to fund the NHS roles we desperately need.

Apparently this is the wrong answer, so Wes Streeting is launching another review by a team picked to deliver a more convenient answer ๐Ÿ™„

Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.

NHS England ยป Report of the independent ADHD Taskforce: Part 1 April 2025

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

Well, James, we had to choose between between male rapists being locked up with women and the eradication of women's single-sex spaces, even down to homeless shelters and rape crisis centres, and knowing we share a single opinion with Donald Trump. I'm comfortable with my choice.

Literally nobody on my side of this argument doesn't want trans-identified people to be safe.
They don't want women and girls to be LESS safe. Fact: 100% of the men women have no need to fear are on my side, because they're realistic about male violence and male sexual predation.

Trans people are being told by UK institutions that they don't belong I canโ€™t help but notice the slow, steady expulsion of trans people from UK society

From Girl Guides to the Womenโ€™s Institute, trans people are being told they donโ€™t belong

โ€œI can only imagine what this means to a young trans woman, aged 14, 15 who finds herself singled out. Rejected. Informed, by implication, that she is bad, unwanted, un-normal.โ€

Given NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro's announcement that trans women will now be moved into men's prisons it's hard not to see this directive to rape as yet another globally co-ordinated fascist move

So ADHD is the sort of disability the government wants to toll back benefits for, and now they're going for the very medication that allows them to work.

It's almost like they just want people with ADHD to die.

If there's one thing I've learned from several years of membership in a demographic specifically targeted by the state and the ruling class, it's that genocides happen because the majority aren't just decent people who are concerned but too scared to fight back; they actively ignore it, or like it

โ€ฆContrived Authority strategies are unscientific, predetermined, unaccountable *propaganda* actions designed to be weaponised by dishonest politicians to go against genuine medical evidence.

They have the *appearance* of science but are fake. They are propaganda masquerading as science .

The Cass Review is the worst kind of pseudoscience & has at least 13 peer-reviewed critiques of it (all ignored by mainstream media).

Streeting now wants a Cass Review for Autism, ADHD, etc.

I have characterised these as โ€œcontrived authorityโ€ strategies (referring to the work of Max Weber)
