It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.

Again, this is in breach of convention rights. The government may not interfere the development of a child’s personal identity.

This single statement more clearly demonstrates how Cass, a doctor with no history or background in trans care, based her entire review into the field on her hazy memories/lazy revisionism of the 1970s rather than any literature or clinical understanding. She is the charlatan - not those she decries

Hillary Cass claimed (15/02/26) on national TV that back in the 1970s trans people didn't exist, it was just young boys who later grew up to be gay. Aside from the fact this is categorically wrong and an act of historic revisionism, it also demonstrates her complete lack of knowledge in the field...

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake

And a happy year of the whores to you all

Two of the softest looking cats you ever saw. In the foreground is tabby cat Joe, sitting in a round scratch lounger with his big belly on full display. Behind him in a small armchair is Frankie, with tabby stripes on his back and forehead and a white front. They’ve had the camera in their faces for long enough to look impatient with it, but you can tell that they’re soft and spoiled. #CatsOfBlueSky

A conspiracy theory about sex and gender is being peddled around the world by the far right A new term has been creeping into the speech of conservatives around the world.

here's the basis of the labour party platform on trans ppl and our rights.

this article was written in 2016.

@lucympowell.bsky.social, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social

'gender ideology' is a far right conspiracy theory that a bunch of twitter-brained columnists and ppl like hilary cass bought in too.

Gavin Newsome just seems really polarizing and a risky option if Dems are serious about winning.

We must build are own infrastructure.

And 99.9% of the time, they're white.

Cis-supremacy means that it is societally always, outrightly spoken or subconsciously, considered bad or deviant to be trans.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.

Awesome to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social making this clear and calling out Labour’s/Starmer’s dishonesty over the Supreme Court misjudgement.

The contrast between Zack Polanski’s honesty and Starmer’s creepy deceitfulness couldn’t be clearer.

The article doesn't say it and I've forgotten the specifics, but the 'change' suggested involves a statement to Parliament from the relevant minister. That's it.

This btw is a fantastic example of an opposition party acting like a real opposition party: Direct criticism and a specific alternatives.

Also, we will never get a conversion therapy ban from this govt because the current NHS system for trans kids and the proposed Ed guidance are both conversion therapy dressed up as ‘care’ and ‘concern’.

Is this the "Growth! Growth! Growth!" that Reeves was talking about?

This is what's obscured when antitrans agitators insist it's a disorder.

If you affirm an anorexic's self-image, they starve to death.

If you affirm a trans person's, they flourish.

I always ask the Little House on the Prairie question about images like this: Where does the cloth come from?

More widely: where do all of the surfaces you see come from? The paint? The roofing tiles? The metal for the robots? The windowpanes?

If it fails that, it fails before you look any deeper.

…Cults control reality by creating phantasms. In these headlines, The Telegraph reduces the lived reality of Trans+ people to ‘ideology,’ often accusing them of ‘cult’ behaviour. Yet, the newspaper itself uses cult tactics: creating a shared delusion of persecution to bond its readers together…

'The Telegraph's Phantasm' (Full Digital Version) A graphic artwork titled "The Telegraph's Phantasm" by Marty Davies. The background is a psychedelic, swirling pattern of neon green, purple, and blue. In the center is a stylized logo for "The Telegraph" in a black Gothic font. Surrounding the logo are dozens of small, rectangular boxes, each containing a headline or phrase related to trans people, such as "Trans Fanatics," "Gender Cult," "Trans Extremism," and "Evil Trans Ideology." The boxes are organised in a grid-like "taxonomy" of media headlines.

I studied over 400 hate-ridden headlines from The Telegraph about the Trans+ community and what emerged was a new artwork currently exhibiting in Brixton.

This is ‘The Telegraph’s Phantasm, 2026’

CW: lots of nastiness

The truth is that you can plainly, calmly state the feminist take on an issue to a dude just doing variants on "Get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich, bitch" jokes and be cast as a man hating harpy persecuting a poor innocent for his free speech. Because what matters is power, not tone.

btw one of the most insane things about the government's embrace of 'gender critical' is wes streeting knows conversion doesn't work bcos he's a 'pray the gay away' failure.

@lucympowell.bsky.social and @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social are jus rancid bigots but streeting knows conversion doesn't work.

Students suing universities makes me uncomfortable not least because—as much as teaching is much better and everyone is working themselves to bits trying to help students in increasingly trying circumstances—we still, ultimately, need to judge our students. It is, actually, one of our jobs.

I know you’ll be shocked to find out that it’s mostly corporate moderates like Schumer, Gillibrand, and Jeffries.

You could take your nose out of Starmer's bottom long enough to look and listen to people impacted by his Government's lies and cruelty.

You could also choose to stop mansplaining.

"The British museum has removed the word 'Palestine' from some displays in its ancient Middle East galleries..."

Milena Veselinovic reports

Disability and LGBT hate crimes set to become aggravated offences The proposed change has been set out in an amendment to the government's Crimes and Policing Bill.

This will close down hate sites like Mumsnet and...

Oh, right. I assume it will be like the promised conversion 'therapy' ban.
