This “journalist” hasn’t tweeted since June, but somehow thought this article - about a TERF in Aus vexatiously complaining about a trans doctor, who already fled the UK to escape transphobic bullying - was vital to share! 😖 Did the media learn nothing from the hounding and death of Jason Arday? 😣

Is the pendulum swinging back? Not all the way back, obvs. And the Overton Window has shifted right. But...

So... we know Russia must be weakened. We know that USA is weakened. The EU doesn't have a unified military... unless you count NATO (pfft). The UK looks weak militarily and economically. The climate war has become critical. The AI war is critical. Happy Halloween 🙂

If you are a trans woman in Brazil, last night’s victory by Lula could make the difference between life and death.

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

I felt I really needed to write about Rowling's essay, not because it's new, but because it's so poisonous and ugly that it felt like sanitizing her not to acknowledge it on my trans news site.

Hilton celebrated alongside Lula following his re-election win, a victory for LGBTQ+ Brazilians.

🚨Brexit is slowing production of life-saving medical tech at local business Elekta, says the leader of Brighton & Hove City Council: "In the fight against cancer, we need our life saving enterprises to be working at maximum capacity."

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

I am now safe after being detained and interrogated by Israeli forces and denied entry to Palestine alongside other activists and elected representatives. I will share a fuller statement tomorrow. The @scottishgreens.org stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

🚨 ‘We stand taller in the world’: Nigel Farage says Brexit has been a ‘success’ Asked on Radio 4’s Today whether he saw Brexit “objectively as a success”, the Reform leader replied: “Yes, I do.” A different message from 2023, when he said: “Brexit has failed” www.politics.co.uk/2026/10/we-s...

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

Of all the bbc presenters, Webb’s politics are the easiest to read - because he puts them in newspapers and doesn’t even try to hide them in broadcasts His politics are also mind numbingly predictable

I really do think you should vote. Your actual vote is secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Being a regular voter means campaigns will try to win you over. The more trans people are regular voters the more likely it is that candidates will worry about needing to win our votes.

This is the "opposition" by the way Zionism is a cancer #ZionismIsRacism

BBC's impartiality in full view. Been like this for years.

The richest 0.001% were too rich in the 50's. Now they are 50x more richer than you, than they were then. It is sickening greed, and still they want more. They don't need to be taxed, they need to be defeated for good.

A trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices was promised in our manifesto. The draft Bill is a start, but as scrutiny begins, we have to close the loopholes that make it fall short. As LGBT Rep on the Co-operative Party NEC, here's what the Government needs to change:👇

Long thread... covering sky the first three minutes of Musk's Odyssey film

This is important to know.

All pretence has gone

The far right is international and they all organize together and raise money for each other. I'd argue it's critical to pay attention to elections in other countries.

New Zealand’s High Court ruled that restrictions on new prescriptions of puberty blockers for youth with gender dysphoria were unlawful, overturning the government’s policy restricting access for trans youth #NOH8

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Yissss

This is such a good point- a neat turnaround to my point. Bravo, well said @jonahblank.bsky.social

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

Remember that claims that the so-called Tavistock “scandal” would be followed by 1000 families suing the NHS as a result Actual number in reality: 0

A man raped a woman at knifepoint in Central Park in NYC on Saturday night. An estimated 383 rapes are reported to law enforcement each day in the U.S., according to FBI figures. That’s just the reported cases. Many more go unreported. Every day. www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-tric...

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

Disappointed to miss World Pasta Day yesterday - now I need to heat up this poem in the microwave.

Not to conflate intersex and trans, they are different but have overlapping issues. And I won't speak to intersex issues. But sometimes intersex can give the lie to the ignorance of transphobes. Meet a "biological male" fb.watch/v/3Z-gqg83y/ 'Mum told me I'm biologically male when I was 11...'

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.

If you actually care about convincing trans people to vote for a lesser evil, instead of just using them as a punching bag to ease your anxieties, then you would stop telling them to shut up and take it and spend your time laying out how you will protect them from your candidate.
