News in that children are now being prescribed weight loss jabs on the NHS.

Where are the trials for the use of these experimental drugs in children? How do you know it’s safe?

📢 SHOW US THE EVIDENCE 📢

All so utterly predictable and fucked up.

Here we go again ✍️

Almost half of convicted 2024 UK rioters 'previously reported for domestic abuse' Though its argued that the UK riots of 2024 emerged from 'legitimate grievances', this data does little to support the claim.

Reminder that almost half of those convicted in recent British anti-migrant "protests" (supposedly about the safety of women & children) had previous form for domestic violence. It was over 60% in Bristol - how high in Citywest? www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/uk-riot...

This happens because transphobia is an institutional imperative and never considered a conflict of interest, or an impediment to providing trans people with care.

The status quo of transition care is trans people subjecting ourselves to the whims of bigots who want to humiliate and exploit us.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’ | Fortune Oracle's Larry Ellison believes citizens and police alike will be under constant surveillance of each other.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

Shocked by Epstein’s birthday book? That culture was everywhere before feminism | Rebecca Solnit Feminism exposed the ubiquity of child abuse, rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence – and helped fight that culture

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

The Irish right-wing have never had an original thought in their entire fucking lives. I swear they sit around eating wallpaper paste until the Americans or Brits do something they can copy.

This article just reminded me of this old tweet

the hardest part about writing this wasn't the challenge in finding an appropriate level of rigor and educational nuance for the target audience while balancing my opinions fairly such that they don't read as a screed. it was actually the restraint required to not call any doctors adolf hitler.

Stop printing the opinions of billionaires and calling it news

Please share widely: “LinkedIn’s quiet decision to retract longstanding, best-practice hate speech protections for transgender and nonbinary people is an overt anti-LGBTQ move — and one that should alarm everyone," a spokesperson for @glaad.bsky.social said in a statement.

I think it's important to note the audience for this isn't really cisgender LGB people (who polling tells us overwhelmingly favor trans rights) but is meant to serve as a permission structure for a broader audience to abandon trans rights while still claiming they're "liberal"

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.

Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.

As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

hi

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

It worked out well in the end, everyone has been really nice in the office ❤️

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

The colonialism of British TERFs is through the roof. Again. This open letter from Irish feminists to British transphobes in 2018 remains relevant.

Where was JK Rowling's money for #RepealThe8th? But she has it to spread British Anti-LGBT hate in Ireland? #Spéirgorm

they are trying to outlaw being transgender in this country and this is just the first step. they were never going to stop at sports. they weren’t going to stop at bathrooms. they want a trans genocide. it is so important to spread awareness of this

this is why "you can stay and change minds" was always a fool's errand, there's no way to win anything on a playing ground this tilted with an owner this open about using every tool he possesses to destroy your reach

hi, cis folks!

so, when they release the US cass review that makes the cass review look like a trans liberation manifesto, i think you should

• ask who’s making the case against transition

• answer whether they have trans people’s best interest at heart

• listen to actual trans people instead 🧵

probability of bad outcomes, y axis probabilities, x axis number of difficult people. Binomial distributions colour coded from 5%, 10%, ..., 20% Left-skewed distributions centered from 1.0 to 3.6. So ballpark 2% - 15% odds of everyone being normal but also low odds of many people being jerks

I finally came out as transgender in work in my own style, which was:
- Computing binomial distributions of how many people might be jerks about it
- Dropping an @channel at eight in the evening
