The pervasiveness of the term “biological male” is proof that the style guides are determined by a certain type of staffer and it ain’t one that knows what my hormone panels look like
Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?

I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.
I hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.
Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.
Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
She knows exactly who he is, what's she's doing and what this signals.
Amazing.
it’s crazy how so much of the right wing cultural push is just ‘let’s all pretend we never learned how bad/complex all this stuff is and go back to the way things were when we were ignorant’ ngl I get why it’s powerful messaging but it really is the death of knowledge/growth/expertise
I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
No one should face exclusion or discrimination because of who they are. The Green Party stands in solidarity with the trans community and will keep fighting for equality that includes everyone.
i kid you not, this is the YouTube channel of the candidate Kemi's defending
I think we need to brace ourselves for a new and more extreme outbreak of racism and Islamophobic slurs from Trump and the GOP as they head into a Fall election in which their prospects are deservedly grim. Hate is their stock-in-trade and they'll be slinging it big time.
Republicans didn’t take long to get the open bigotry going
To explain for foreigners: our energy regulator rubber-stamps price rises; the water regulator tuts while rivers fill up with human shit; the press regulator wags an occasional finger, and the national equality body enforces press campaigns against groups of people they hate and wish to damage.
Britain, where the national equality body is a boobyhatch jam-packed with wingnut cranks who fervently believe their job is creating weapons for police to hammer minorities that the press hates and wants to harm.
if you’re an lgbt+ person and you support the labour party i think you’re a deeply vile person and i don’t like you.
Hodges is an occasionally useful guy to keep an eye on, mainly because he’ll say things that his less stupid colleagues are smart enough to keep to themselves.
A court ruling in 2025 by the supreme court decided the govt couldn't have possibly meant precisely what the government said in a lot of detail when the act was originally published, an instead must have been interpreting the EA2010 as excluding trans people in most goods and services.
In 2011, the UK government response to antitrans provocations was "Don't be so bloody stupid".
web.archive.org/web/20260108... Here's an archive link of the original business guidance in case the original goes missing. In pretty clear terms the original guidance used to say stuff like "obviously, so long as the changing rooms allow privacy, trans women should be permitted to use the womens"

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
I do wonder if The Media Class of this country have been on the mercury cocaine. Their brains must be as hard and crumbly as Edinburgh rock. Imagine writing that paragraph and thinking *Séamas* is the bad guy.
Now, I *am* a nobody but @seamas.bsky.social is a bestseller so surely Joanna is just showing herself up here.
if you want to be an ally to trans people in the face of everything the british state is doing to us it would be really helpful if you could perhaps read a few things written by trans people first because I can guarantee even if you're trying to be supportive you've made false assumptions somewhere
Trans men can't use a urinal, he says. I mean, he is trying but holy smokes he's so uninformed, even after all this time. They all are.
Cis woman on now speaking about how much she has been challenged, had security called on her because she has PCOS. Says she's never had a problem with trans women but multiple problems with GC women. She's on the verge of tears.
Corbyn was and still is the Manchurian Candidate phrase for the centrist press. Even the tories employing a nazi can be Corbyn's fault
Me: (a smart columnist, looking at claims made by an ex-Tory neo-Nazi booted out of the party for crimes, now standing as a Tory councillor whole doing a rehabilitation tour parroting the agreed media line in his new “anti-extremism” gig) This is extremely convincing stuff, and very worrying.

"Cuddly-honest" Andy Burnham & extremist transphobe Bridget Philippson think that, like most political decisions, their imposition of trans-segregation will quickly be forgotten. It will not. Margaret Thatcher proposed similar discrimination 40 years ago. Oppressive acts live long in memories.
Happy Segregation Day everyone! Today will eventually go down in history as an infamous mistake and breach of human rights but not before it's caused huge amounts of pain and trouble. This Government will be remembered as the worst for trans rights ever, as bad as Thatcher's Section 28 if not worse.
🚨We have written to all MP's expressing our anger at the government. Our rights WILL be restored. Our voices WILL be heard. We will continue to fight 🏳️⚧️✊
What you mean go back to how life was literally about 5 minutes ago?

if you're using AI to make your videos why the fuck would i watch your videos? and i'm not even saying that from an anti-AI standpoint (although yes fuck AI), i'm saying it from a "there are 2350820 other channels also putting out generic-ass personalityless drivel i could watch instead" standpoint
Didn't we have a few years of panic over antisemitism in the Labour Party under Corbyn? Anyway, the Tories have a literal neo-Nazi running for local council, backed by Badenoch, but he's no longer an *antisemitic* neo-Nazi because he says he supports Israel
It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.
Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx
