I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".

In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

The UK did have one standout product that was considered globally valuable- universities- and unilaterally decided to stop providing the product because it was more important to be xenophobic than successful

"I will not vote for genocide"

Dems: "Purity test!"

"I want vulnerable communities to be protected."

"We need free healthcare to save lives, not minor reforms."

Dems: "Purity test!"

"I won't vote for politicians attacking homeless people."

It really shouldn’t rest on normal people to teach the Democratic Party that they need to make an affirmative case for being the good guys and to treat the Republicans as bad guys but somehow the party spends 60 million dollars a year on consultants telling them to do the exact opposite of that

A warrior is not defined by the fights they have won, but by what they fight for. Stand for those less privileged, stand for the powerless, stand for those who will come after you. Stand for honor, or you stand for nothing at all, and are worth even less.

Zohran Mamdani’s Lesson for the Left The New York City mayoral primary showcased a better kind of politics than progressives are used to.

This is framed as "lessons for the left," but Lander and Mamdani actually offer lessons for the center: Instead of ruthlessly undermining leftist candidates, emphasize shared values and refuse to amplify right-wing attacks.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

The voters will turn out if you give them a good reason. That could not be clearer now. It is time to start taking advantage of that.

What voters think nativism will mean: stop giving benefits to others, so you can focus resources on citizens

What it actually means in practice: stop giving citizens benefits, so you can focus resources on punishing others

I have literally never seen a graph like this once in all my years of being an election sicko

18-24 always lags, always, it’s just a natural law of politics

and this is the guy they want to throw out of the party?!

Want to Know How Democrats Should Handle Trans Rights? Ask Zohran Mamdani The 33-year-old socialist just crushed Andrew Cuomo by doing what many national Democrats won't: having convictions.

Today's newsletter is about how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social shows that you can run on "kitchen table issues" without throwing vulnerable people to the wolves β€” and win!

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

the democratic party establishment pushing andrew cuomo over zohran mamdani is proof that they don’t really want to appeal to young men at all. they want to ostracize his coalition the same way they osteacized the bernie sanders coalition

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.
