ROWL, v.t., to rowl someone is to harass them for apparent gender nonconformity, typically in a space designated as single-sex.

See it (a tranny), say it, sorted

When they said “there will be no toilet police” they were always just saying so we need You 🫵 to be a toilet vigilante and sniff out the gender deviants

This is what they expected and wanted to happen: that members of the public, shown the cops would take their side if they kicked off and went mental at anyone they suspected of being a transgender, would then start going apeshit en masse and enforce their wacko ideas for them.

We are now in the bathroom apartheid era. My advice is to play nice but make lists. Bad places will be marked.

It’s gone midnight. The UK is now an apartheid state. There will be no premature compliance.

I'm enjoying a well prepared meal.

Sadly, I cannot cancel my Amnesty International subscription *twice*.

Next month will be 50 years of I, Claudius, one of the greatest TV series Currently on BBC4 and iPlayer, huge fun, gripping drama, extremely funny and even more horrible Need another reason to start? Born OTD 10 BCE, the actual: I, Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, This, That and the Other…

lukewarm take but Amnesty International has always been run by moral cowards, and at times, moral cowards bankrolled by the CIA and the British intelligence services

the voters of the United States know this; there is no meaningful interpretation of events which does not recognize their evil

The continuing presidency of child-rapist and embezzler Donald Trump is proof that US citizens are.. ...what?

GREAT 👇 FREAKIN QUESTION.....?

So much policy noise designed to appease Trump. I'd shout louder but I'm under the bus already. I can't stand the English being so craven.

Don't think you won't be affected by the Code just because you're not trans or non-binary. If some bigot thinks you are, it will affect you. Please support this, for everyone's sake, trans or not.

Not satisfied with just bringing back measles, the Trump regime is now bringing back acid rain.

They never cared about women’s sports before it became politically convenient. Equal pay? Pfffft. Rampant sexual abuse? Sorry that keeps happening. An excuse to attack a tiny population of vulnerable transgender athletes? “PROTECT WOMENS’ SPORTS!”

The USA is neither civilised nor a democracy. By the standards of its own revolutionary founders, revolution is indicated.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Strong disagree. It means the Civil War has already ended. They won, and now they're reaping the spoils.

The UK Government should introduce a minimum standard of land *stewardship* that is compatible with land *ownership*, and should nationalise without compensation any land whose condition falls persistently below that standard.
