my political tendencies were in that direction long before I came out (or where they a sign of my hidden trans-ness)

;-)

(this is not a serious post & I agree fully with your sentiments in the rest of this thread)

I'm not even disappointed to be honest, I was expecting this kind of weakness to show itself as the rubber hits the road eventually.

The closer any candidate gets to a sniff of power the more they all act like this. Whoever gets in we need to fight the bastards anyway eventually.

A list of Labour’s many links to private equity, venture capital, asset managers and hedge funds:

your points about earlier transition are spot on though - I really wish I'd been able to transition young - not doing is signing you up for a LOT of trauma that needs undoing later in life

so I'm going the "other way" than you and that's switched in the other direction

One thing that is currently amusing me , given I don't 'pass' (I'm close to 60 only been on hrt for a few months) - Men address me verbally as male BUT _treat_ me as a woman !

never mind all this "are LLM's self aware" rubbish

Is the PM of the UK self aware? no evidence at all that he is

I mean even principle Skinner stopped to ask if he was wrong before deciding it was the children. The question hasn't even crossed Starmers mind once

We're told all the time there's no fucking magic money tree to invest in public spending and yet these pricks are throwing away money hand over fist on actively making everything worse, hurting free speech, expanding genocide, fucking our healthcare and privacy.

It's misogyny. It targets all women, cis and trans. They just don't want cis women to realise until it's too late.

excellent update - and plenty to investigate

BUT

271,000 miles!!!!!

we've driven most of our cars into the scrap heap (well had them towed there when they wouldn't move) but that's seriously impressive keeping them on the road!

TBF - it's quite clear that not many people ARE actually voting labour

but yeah - if you want facism there are other choices

and if you want left wing stuff WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU VOTING LABOUR IN THE FIRST PLACE??????

it's because transphobia is inextricably linked to white supremacy and patriarchy

I liked it better when the government at least pretended to try and make the country functional

instead of just deciding which group of people they hate most today and how they can make their lives worse...

I mean, I know their answer if you really want it but it’s not going to make any sense to you because your brain isn’t full of worms

This means that even if Palestine Action ad not won on Human Rights Act/ECHR grounds, Palestine Action would have won on another ground.

No doubt this will be missed by a lot of media reporting of this judgment, but even if HRA repealed etc, Palestine Action would have *still won*.

A natural experiment on the effect of herpes zoster vaccination on dementia - Nature Using a natural experiment that avoids common bias concerns, this study finds that the live-attenuated shingles vaccine reduced the probability of a new dementia diagnosis within a follow-up period of...

And there’s increasing evidence that vaccination for shingles reduces the risk of dementia!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

a path on moorland in the mist

some stones

a stick emerges at a slight angle from mist laden moorland

path, stone,stick

mind you - see also the guardian ! they are all turning out to be as bad as each other......

it's a deeply misogynist institution. there's no mystery.

as per-usual the transphobia that you all ignore is the big giant flashing red warning sign of a clue.

where there's transphobia there's misogyny. always.

The narrative this week then being that Starmer doesn't really know anything about decisions he's making - at best he's poorly informed at worst he's not paying attention

BUT that's all ok 'cos being in an important job - who cares if you do it properly - no cause for concern at all

Anyway, I hope peopld will pay close attention to the racism, misogyny, supremacism the rapists love so much because at least it provides more clarity about the Epstein class. As does their greed. These sick prorities are poisoning the world.

Is it ‘because MAGA is a soulless howling void with a dead, shrivelled heart that destroys everything it comes in contact with’?

Politicians and media cannot bring themselves to say that Hilary Cass is a child abuser because they would all be in the frame and have to admit they were wrong. What is being done to trans kids is child abuse. Keir Starmer could end this child abuse any time he wanted yet refuses to.

Racist is as racist does.

A person who does a racist thing is a brick in the racist edifice.

A single grain of rice isn't nutritious enough to fill you, but a whole bunch of grains make a bowl.

A person who does a racist thing is, like a grain, doing their part.

This is what blocking is for.

‘What I see in clinic is never a set of labels’: are we in danger of overdiagnosing mental illness? Our current approach to mental health labelling and diagnosis has brought benefits. But as a practising doctor, I am concerned that it may be doing more harm than good

The overdiagnosis narrative is deeply unhelpful. Not a mental illness but mental disorder related: my son was diagnosed with autism but urgently needs an ADHD assessment. He's been bumped off the list and it could take 4 years, all thanks to the political weather www.theguardian.com/news/2026/fe...

These are the bigots behind transphobia, the wedge issue to separate trans-women from cis-women. It was never to end with us, we are just the means to an end.

So this is the future that beckons courtesy of “For Women Scotland”, “Sex Matters” and all the other useful idiots. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

And all these centrists praising his fundamental decency are doing so on a child porn generator owned by a White Supremacist.

Gideon Rachman O @gideonrac... 1h X I agree. He seems like a decent, able man who is trying his best. That may not be enough given his limitations. But the vitriol is baffling and distasteful Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan • 11h I happen to think Starmer is useless and lacking in charisma, but I am still baffled at just how unpopular is. What is that makes him more unpopular than Liz Truss? Or Jim Callaghan? x.com/shashj/... • 44 L7 18 • 113 ill 11K 贝 企 Politics Theory Other • @poltheoryother X.com Maybe it might be worthwhile introspecting about why small matters such as becoming LOTO - and then PM - on a false prospectus, launching an authoritarian crackdown on peaceful protest, appointing an Epstein associate to high office, and the acceptance of over £100k in freebies doesn't lead you to question Starmer's fundamental decency.

I mean: this summary of how fucked it is does not even touch the sides of just how bad it is.

One of the truest things ever said, by a long, long shot.

the whole royal family should be rounded up and put in a fucking hole in the ground.
