I do wonder how pissed off the TERFs would get if they found out my workplace and a local theatre have toilets that are gender neutral - toilet cubicles with floor to ceiling doors (no way for people to see in at all) with sinks outside those - and there's not been a peep about anything horrific.

Ok, so Madonna who's attained a level of success, wealth, critical acclaim and global adoration from the public and her peers that Roisin Terfy could only dream of has jumped on the 'TQ bandwagon'? 🙄 This same Madonna who in the 1970s was dancing with us in underground queer NY nightclubs... 1/

Tweet from Roisin Murphy "No, Madonna has no such excuse for supporting the TQ+ bandwagon or for not calling out its inherent homophobia. Perhaps she just doesn’t care that children who would’ve grown up to be gay are being medicalised and harmed before they have the maturity to know who they are. Strange that."

Roisin Murphy has taken a swipe at Madonna for supporting all the community. Roisin, don’t come for the woman who has been with the community from before the start of her career in music. Especially when you’ve used LGBTQ to boost your mediocre at best career.

I often wonder how many legally gagged artists there are. I was told at the time that most major label contracts had the very authoritarian-sounding "morality clause" as standard.
A morals clause (also called a morality clause, bad boy clause, or bad girl clause) is a standard Show more

I guess Madonna never had that clause

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.

I find it *very* interesting as someone whose pro Israel and has had several pro-Israel Jewish orgs praise her for her support, that Kemi Badenoch would defend selecting a Neo-Nazi as a candidate. Will those same orgs call out her *actual* antisemitism? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ex-MP urges Tories to block council candidate jailed for antisemitic abuse against her

Joshua Bonehill-Paine was jailed over neo-Nazi activism, but has been selected to stand in a new Somerset Council seat in 2027.

My daughter’s university scrutinizes each essay for evidence of AI. The goal is to get a 0% score. This AI-hunting is done by… AI. A recent essay scored 17%. She questioned what the AI thought was AI, since she hadn’t used it. The answer: the uni-issued cover page showing student ID, faculty etc. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

Nothing is more indicative of institutional corruption than this. What we know about the Free Speech Union is its direct connection to American authoritarianism. This is why I turn up at their meetings with a microphone. The GCs groups are not independent; they are a subsidiary.
