"If you support trans rights" yet you platform someone who thinks trans people should be treated as separate from society?

By putting a transphobe in a powerful, senior position @yourparty.bsky.social is killing itself.

After everything @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social has said about supporting trans people's human rights this totally undermines his credibility.

Corbyn's USP was his authenticity. That has now gone. 😢

Shocking. Never would've guessed.

Why Republicans keep saying slavery was great Most rational human beings who know anything about American history believe that the practice of slavery was one of the United States’ original sins, and that it was allowed for too long. Untold ...

The Headline is Self Explanatory.

For anyone who believes that part the Trump agenda about stamping out antisemitism-

Don’t be so stupid.

They don’t care about you or anyone else that doesn’t meet their racist definition of white. Talking to you, Stephen Miller.

Contacting influencers about WAGE cuts and I can tell you 95% of them who have built their platforms on women’s empowerment do not give AF about women, it’s a brand, entirely.

Mark Carney is doing the same thing to Canadian queer services with an 81% cut to WAGE, why are Canadian publications insistent on focusing on the distraction that is Trump?

Helen Joyce and Brewer accusing trans people of being perverts just for being polite. We need to get these monsters before a court.
Does anyone know who the trans woman in this case is and ask them to contact us urgently.

I hope they realise that they are targeting hate towards a small minority of people in this country. My son is a trans man and is only interested in living a peaceful life. Have we forgotten about #brianna

I was so cross at Fogherty today.
It was a totally unnecessary phone in hour, but Elaine from Croydon put her right at the end.
6 ft 2 is not uncommon in girls these days and believe me, since this, going to public toilets when you are tall with short hair gives you a lot more look. Awful.

What’s I find the most upsetting about this is that that mother’s transphobia is poisoning her daughter’s mind. Awful.

Dispelling harmful misinformation about M&S 'trans' bra fitting row Dangerous misinformation over an M&S 'trans' bra fitting story is spreading online; here's what we actually know.

The moment I saw that "trans bra" M & S story I sensed it was nonsense.

Seconds later, having read the Telegraph piece I knew it was worse than that. It was deliberate hate mongering completely devoid of evidence, names and facts.

Superb job of debunking it here

Some time ago - in a Facebook group for brides - a less political & more normie space than we Blueskyers run in - a trans woman asked how cis brides would feel about her trying dresses/being fitted in a bridal shop.

Hundreds of supportive replies, exactly one bigot.

They're not many. Just loud.

An inevitable stand-off created by this Court’s distorted interpretation of the 14th Amendment to require colorblindness. How can a legislature could draw districts that don’t violate the Voting Rights Act w/o looking at race? It can’t be done. But the Court’s rightwing could not care less.

Texans don’t want this redistricting scheme.

We're the Lone Star State — we need leaders who serve us, not the corrupt whims of Greg Abbott and Donald Trump.

Canada Post put their strike on hold last fall, delivered Christmas 🎄, and then waited until after the election. It’s their turn, support them or self-deport from my TL.

UK media are covering up British spy flights for Israel Britain’s obedient defence correspondents are refusing to report a story of clear public interest in the middle of a genocide.

Britain’s mainstream media have not carried out a single investigation into the extent, impact or legal status of the RAF spy flights over Gaza since December 2023, Declassified has found👇
