I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out. It’s just a Cumbrian thing πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Also at the end of my tether with the world

It's the longest day today. Please don't look at the Sun. It's bad for you even if you briefly look at it. The same goes for the Mail and the Express. πŸ‘

A screenshot of the job ad by Labour Women’s Declaration showing Β£55k p/a salary for lobbying against trans people in Parliament.

Transphobic β€˜gender critical’ lobby groups can afford to hire a Senior Parliamentary Researcher (aka anti-trans lobbyist) at Β£55k p/a while trans people crowdfund for cash to pay for healthcare.

The inequality is so blatantly obvious.

This is a right-wing funded Tufton St adjacent hate group! 😣

All of the transphobic hate groups are networked together in their coordinated campaign to try and remove rights, support, and compassion for trans people.

This is NOT a β€œwomen’s rights” group, it is a facade for transphobia backed by bigots! πŸ˜–

Snooker and billiard players like me are worse. We can hear the opening of a bag of crisps from 100 yards away 🀣

Dejected. Respect is a word that seems to have been erased from the planet. Madness
