God made me trans. I used to just write poems. Now I illustrate them too and turn them into comics. You can buy my first one here: https://ko-fi.com/s/943b7dfafd

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.

My contribution to Cheesecake Factory discourse: Aryan Brotherhood of Texas gang members assaulted a mixed-race family. I identified one of them because he worked at a Cheesecake Factory and their Instagram page posted pictures of him. He has a back tattoo with SS bolts and phrase "Aryan Soldier"
Coz they're young innit
Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

So this is somewhere in the region of £600,000 worth of money that leaves a catastrophically underfunded UKHE and heads off to the lawyers, for no reason at all other than government's decision to have its regulatory bodies helmed by culture warriors.

Just the sort of mature, thoughtful content one would expect from the people who coined the term "anti-bedtime left".

Nadia would you recommend the sorts of grassroots unrest — blockades, mass protest, civil disobedience, disruption of sporting events, general strikes that kind of thing — that achieved progressive change in Serbia, now be enacted in the UK? That’s what you’re saying here right?
We must reject the idea that the right's rise across the globe is inevitable. In Brazil, millions voted Bolsonaro's heir out, and in Serbia, a student-led movement ended an authoritarian’s 12-year reign. Amid hate and corruption, people are fighting for hope and democracy, and they are winning.

I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.
I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

So much to say about Brazil, not least of which is the role that Erika Hilton, a Black trans leader and most voted woman politician in Brazil, played in mobilizing folks for Lula. She was behind the critical, concrete, economic promise of shorter work-week. theprint.in/feature/erik...

Imagine if a podiatrist randomly got involved in oncology because someone in the government hired them to do an independent review. Then, a few years later, they were able to disrupt and shut down healthcare for cancer patients despite having no expertise That's Cass in the UK with trans healthcare

Attacks on trans women in sports was always about attacking all womens sports, as well as giving an easy avenue for people like JKR to express their extreme misogyny and racism too while pretending its about trying to find secret trans women. Its reinforcing white supremacist expectations of women.

So shocking misogynistic assholes are misogynists who coulda fucking guessed, oh yeah anyone who can recognize the reality that trans women are women, and we are a more socially acceptable woman to punch down on including by other women. Its demeaning women as inherently weak after all.
A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Just catching up with this story. Turning Point UK came to my neighbourhood to “protect our kids” from drag queen storytellers at the Honor Oak pub. I don’t think people appreciate how much the English far right is tied up with Ulster Loyalism, and how dangerous this is in a time of polarisation.
"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.
