There’s nothing radical about educating young children about sexuality, gender identity and same-sex relationships. It’s not indoctrination to let kids know heterosexuality is not compulsory, and it’s not sexualising them to teach them about sexuality.

Oh god the big lass is increasingly desperate. Can someone please tell her she’s not trained in anything but growing tatties and neeps

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

Update: We've now filed a revised legal case against Chief Constable Stephen Watson of GMP Police for refusing to apologise for the force’s historic persecution of LGBT+ people, including under James Anderton. We’ve also submitted new evidence. 🏳️‍🌈📄

"Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

The effects are only permanent on trans youth apparently.

Thoughts with all the people affected and their families with the awful incident on the train in Cambridgeshire.

Thank you to all the emergency services and brave members of the public.

Reminder of the work that people do every day to serve the public.

Me trying to find where the leftist parties are

New Statesman podcast out yesterday asks "Do we have too many leftist parties?"

Charlie Kirk in His Own Words 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words”

17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

The fact that both the WSJ and the Guardian have retracted their trans and leftist stories related to the shooter and now a day later a new one is being formed about a possible "trans roommate or lover" shows how desperate they are to pin this on someone who is LGBTQ+

I hate being right.

If you're wondering why I'm quiet, I'm trying to spend less time on social media so I can do more work that matters and also I'm taking this week off for my birthday

Voters' voices are being shut out of British politics. Your Party has a radical plan to change that | Jeremy Corbyn At our conference in November we will use a jury service-type model to allow members to discuss and decide policy, strategy and even the name of our party, says Your Party co-founder Jeremy Corbyn

REALLY not sure about @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social's "pick people at random" system to decide policy.

For small minority groups like trans people it will mean we are, as usual, locked out of spaces where decisions about us are made, just like Labour/Tories/Reform.

The right are all, "membership doesn't equate votes, look at Labour under JC"

And like all lies there is an element of truth to that.

However what's important is what they do. Do they sit and never talk to their friends or do they go door knocking?

There is a reason I think 100,000 GPEW members

🎉 We've done it. We've passed 100,000 Green Party members!

📈 But we're not stopping there.

💚 Let's make hope normal again! Join the Green Party today!

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong' No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Which shows the NHS clinics are deliberately held back.

Abolish train station barriers now!

They are hostile and treat train customers like criminals.

I'm sick of it!

What a bunch of violent, women-hating misogynists the Genital Obsessed hate-movement are. They’re in rapid decline, the SC decision was their last best shot, and it missed.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

When history writes about the resistance, it will begin with the Transgender Americans who refused to disappear. And those who stood with them through thick and thin. 🏳️‍⚧️💪

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

‘If Lady Harman strips me of free speech, I’ll quit as a barrister’ A new review is meant to stop bullying at the Bar but Sarah Phillimore knows from experience just how dangerous its recommendations are The Daily Telegraph26 Sep 2025 ‘Absurd’ inquiry: Sarah Phillimore was investigated over ‘non-crime hate’ tweets, including a critique of Brokeback Mountain Baroness Harman’s independent review of bullying, harassment and sexual harassment at the Bar, published earlier this month, sent ripples across the barrister community for its potential to lead to censorship and the repression of free speech. Sadly, these likely encroachments do not surprise me. Speech should only be a criminal or regulatory matter if a very high bar of offence is crossed. Certainly I don’t think I’ve ever crossed it. Yet, in our culture now, mere disagreement is seen as violence, and not having a prevailing view about issues such as sexuality or transgenderism is seen inherently to be bigoted.

Some good news, Sarah Phillimore threatening to quit as a barrister [Telegraph]

"Yet, in our culture now, mere disagreement is seen as violence, and not having a prevailing view about issues such as sexuality or transgenderism is seen inherently to be bigoted."

¨I don’t think the rough and tumble of sarcasm is bullying or harassment. If you can’t survive that, then the Bar is not for you.¨

This is literally what misogynists say!

If a dad has been there for a child, supported them through thick and thin, picked them up when they were down, laughed with them, cried with them, loved them like their own, but weren't their 'biological' dad, they'd still be their dad right?

You couldn't say they 'identified' as a dad.

Honestly from the bit of the interview I heard, she was basically saying she struggles emotionally to square the person she knew and what that person has done, which is fair? Idk maybe there was more beyond that but my impression was that it was about an emotional struggle and not a concession.
