I've had vegan chocolate I could totally replace all actual milk chocolate with, but I don't have the money to import it from Spain all the time.

Dairy is a tricky one. I've been vegetarian for a long time and I'm best effort plant based, but honestly the more stressed I am the more I have milk chocolate and tiny amounts of cheese. It makes me feel guilty, but I think the alternative is to give up entirely and just fully include dairy.

A sticker with two large kitchen knives crossed. One has "dignity" written on the blade, the other has "respect" written on it.

I'll be concerned about that when Palestine is as powerful as Israel and also performing a genocide.

It's all so tiring. I think that might be what they're going for.

Håper det går litt bedre i dag. Hvis du trenger noen å snakke med som ikke har noe med dagliglivet ditt så er det alltid greit å sende meg en melding. 💖

In a way, but we don't need to blame foreigners for what actually started here earlier than it started there.

It's not just an act. It's not just expediency like the rest. He wants to do this. I saw it for trans people when he did his Mumsnet interview (in what world was it a politically savvy move to interview with an internet forum most people have never heard of?) and he's hated "small boats" for ages.

I'm so tired of all my worst predictions from before the election coming true faster than I even expected it to. He seems to have a few convictions—which people refused to accept, maybe because it's so incongruent—but they're all horrible. I think he truly hates trans people and immigrants.

Yeah, but I typically hope for better from men who should know from first hand experience what men's oppression of women is like. I know cis men who get it better than that.

I'm not convinced it's about Trump. Like, sure, he's spineless, but he doesn't seem to have seriously changed what he was already doing since Trump came into office. If anything he's more like a puppy following Farage around from talking point to taking point, but that's business as usual.

A bunch of bald men have ruled that calling a man bald is equivalent to commenting on the size of a woman's breasts.

Men are fucking pathetic. Absolutely get fucked.

Stop pretending there are no other parties in the UK.

There are some good TikTok accounts that show, review, and discuss wigs. Honestly you can get pretty nice wigs for less than £20 sometimes, very nice ones for less than £50. Like, it's cheaper than getting long hair dyed.

If you're Jewish (like me) you'd better be screaming from the top of your lungs that this is wrong

No, we aren't responsible for everything ppl "like us" do. I don't own Trump's actions either

But silence is complicity. If we don't speak, who will. This is nothing but a mass murder, it's not "war"

They'll depend on GCs policing them wherever they go. Then they'll try to utterly destroy a few people in courts and the media to stop anyone else trying.

The EHRC says trans women can be banned from both too.

The UK classified the bagpipes as a weapon of war for ages. I don't trust their judgement.

So insane to me that this woman is one of the people the home office considered important enough she's in one of the questions on the life in the UK test. 🤦‍♀️

I suppose, but I'm not going to get involved to a level of going to their conference, give them money, or similar until I see actual support from them. Others can do it if they want. Frankly I'm already annoyed with the idea that our rights are up for a vote when others' rights aren't.

I swear those last two might be the least useful ones to get locked in though. There must be dozens of those words.

Yeah that happens. I do try to use words with no shared letters for at least the first 3 unless I'm very sure, but sometimes it just goes like that.

Progressive in no way guarantees pro trans these days. So far from it. That's exactly why I don't preemptively support them. I'm not condemning them either, but this is weak allyship so far.

That's part of why I find it so frustrating that he won't stick up for us now. He's not getting my support preemptively because he probably won't turn against us. Lots of people have turned against us already, I'm not putting all my eggs in that basket.

Is there anyone who is saying to vote Labour over them? Because that shit is madness.

It's just yet another example of us being inconvenient rather than someone they'll stand by no matter what.

I'm not gonna lie, I am disappointed in them and I feel like they're doing it for political reasons that make me go off them massively, but in no way would I in a million years pick Labour over them. I'd go Plaid instead most likely anyway unless they come out swinging hard for us later.

Hmm. I got way fewer early on, but got it at last.

Oh obviously, but don't worry, when it comes to trans women they won't rest until the conviction rate is 200%.

Very helpful. Do you say that to all the homeless people on the street too or are you just reserving it for people trying to change things for the better?
