Hello. This is a post purely designed to be pinned to my profile to advertise my stand up special, Hit Me With Your Autistic. I promise this shameless plug isn’t reflective of the entirety of the rest of my feed. You can watch it for free here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bpp...

Another Jason Arday situation is starting to happen in front of our eyes and not even the alternative media is reporting it.

Here’s the thing, I understand why Dennis & LGB Alliance are there. They claim to be community advocacy groups. There’s no justification for the presence of Helen Joyce, representing Sex Matters - who are no kind of LGBT advocacy group - other than ideological purposes from a transphobic government.

If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.

Email the members of the committee putting forward your views and especially the Chair.

The Burnham government is happy to listen to transphobes galore but will move mountains to avoid listening to any trans people.

If you're trans, you can't work in any public facing job currently without the risk of one of a couple of dozen GCs finding out about you and campaigning for you to be sacked for "doing your fetish in public" All enabled by Rowling's funding. Then they trot out "wHaT rIgHtS dOn'T yOu HaVe???"

I think just commenting on the length of this post really buries the lede that the President of the United States wrote a post this long merely to review Real Time With Bill Maher.

Viscerally upset by the Beth Upton stuff. They won't be satisfied until they have hounded a woman – who the tribunal explicitly found had done nothing wrong – to her death. Btw the "incident" in Australia is that a patient worried she *might* be forced to be treated by her. She of course wasn't.

For an organisation so desperate to save money, the BBC seems to have an unusually large visual effects budget to spend on covering or removing queer flags and slogans.

I don’t think anything sums up how cancerous our media is quite like Janet Murray and the Daily Mail - not being content enough with having harassed Beth Upton out of the country - now harassing her in her new place of residence. They will genuinely not be happy until she’s dead.

you ever think about how its legal to dox a trans woman but not legal to dox a cis man like, they're putting in the papers where she lives and works and thats just seen as totally chill and ok

The press are lethally targeting random citizens and the longer the DCMS does nothing the more complicit they are. Lisa Nandy has a duty to stop this from happening and she’s doing fuck all.

i don't care how jk rowling is justifying her murderous bigotry today actually. over 600 transgender ppl have died in the uk in the last 18 months bcos of policies she demanded the british government implement. she is a monster. i don't care how much you like harry potter.

Quite impressive to manage to come less prepared for a BBC News interview than Guy Goma.

The Women’s Rights Network are now attacking the mental health charity Mind for supporting trans people with their mental health during a time of unprecedented attacks on their rights. These are the “legitimate concerns” “worthy of respect in a democratic society” the Labour Party has normalised.

Meanwhile, Ed Davey will be sitting in a bath of baked beans. Nothing to do with SU2C, he’s just got a new cost-of-living policy to announce.

The far right is leaning into Sunak's incredibly stupid "War on trans people and asylum seekers". The terfs "rapes in hospitals" is the same emotionally laden argument as Farage's "stop the boats". As long as lying bigots keep being rewarded by Labour they will keep doing it and demanding more.

...and we're now living under a fascist government bcos every bigoted talking point, no matter how disgusting or disingenuous, is to be treated as legitimate under the guise of neutrality. we've had nearly 20 years of this shit and it has ruined the country.

How would the UK government suggest that trans people should prepare for the hostile act of the UK government actively attempting to legislate them out of existence?

I am prepared for emergencies and hostile acts. (I have embraced the inevitability of death.)

It feels really bad to think about all these people reading horrible things about you

A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

Billionaire living in a castle calls minority group she is paying hundreds of thousands of pounds of her own money to legislate out of existence ‘elitist’

The comments on this post by The Telegraph are full of support for this man, saying he has the right to decline “transgender ideology”, and that his beliefs are “protected by the Equality Act”. This is your legacy, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social. You have empowered people to bully children. Congrats.

Here is the BMA saying "we were worried about the FWS case, warned you about the potential health risks associated with the proposed Code of Practice, and now you have gone ahead and implemented policies that will cause serious harm to trans patients and staff' www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opi...

It is fascinating how quickly the EHRC provided a response to the Green Party ‘Zionism is racism’ motion, suggesting they could be investigated as being discriminatory towards Jewish members, whilst there is absolute fucking crickets from them surrounding the racism and misogyny within Reform UK.

The Labour Party, seeing themselves being accused of killing trans people through their policy: “Don’t worry, we’ve got policy that will kill everyone else as well!”

“Far-right” party in Canada is proposing exactly the same policies as Andy Burnham’s “Labour-in-name-only” Party in the UK…

I imagine this seems like some kind of really clever gotcha, if your brain is as smooth as Britney Spears’ head was in 2007.
