[CN. Transphobia]
This is sort of the whole business in a nutshell too, because the basis of the tribunal wasn't that Upton had assaulted anyone or acted in any way inappropriately, but that a trans woman simply using women's facilities was a violation of the provision of "single sex spaces".
And I don’t think we can underestimate the pernicious evil of “trans identified person”. The right have *already* started called us “gay identified”. That’s exactly how identities get negated, how rights are lost. They’re playing into the right wing playbook out of sheer, blind hate.
I was holding judgement on the new Stonewall chair, but if Stock is in favour it means the organisation is probably on its way out.
night time picture, illuminated sign on bus stop, 2 young guys in sports gear and pink hi vis vests saying in lettering 'I am registered to vote' with sports hall behind them and then details about how to resister to vote below in text and top left text 'The Electoral Commission' and top right, 'Your Vote Matters Don't Lose It'
day time picture, Leith, Edinburgh street scene with lamppost and sign with young female with long hair and glasses and text saying 'I'm registered to vote' and 'Scottish Parliament Election 7 May 2026 and info on registering in text at bottom'
Your #Vote really does matter, now more than ever. Today is the last day to www.gov.uk/register-to-... for the upcoming #elections, it is really quick and easy to do online, make sure your voice is heard, we all need to do what we can for a better future for everyone!
Miracles! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I get a little frustrated every time I see the statement that Scotland and England "well actually" don't have different views on immigration.
Because yes they do. It's not as big as many suggest it is, but there's a statistically significant gap.

Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.
Great work to all the transphobic pickme gays because you're next on the menu
in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016
wonder if something happened then?
Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant
In the era of "we must exclude trans people from playing sport, for Fairness" it's actually quite sickening for various media outlets to be all "check out out, a ROBOT won a marathon!"
A reminder that the supposedly free speech loving Gender Critical activists are currently suing a bunch of people for *checks notes* supporting Pride
😭😭😭😭
The ones on the southern corner have been away for a while, and the pair outside the Scotmid don't feel related to the works. I'm hoping there'll be a new massive rack (heh) when they finish everything 🤞🏼
In the UK today the de facto position is that you can be subsidized by the taxpayer, through charitable tax relief, to campaign for the pathologisation and elimination of a group nominally protected by the Equality Act, but not for its protection.
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Offord on the telly again talking about getting '800,000 economically inactive people back to work'.
High time journalists start properly interrogating this abject nonsense.

Nothing screams "thing I have to do" when on holiday than "this city has a funicular"
This is INHUMANE.
There used to be six bike racks around the junction of Valleyfield St/Leven St. Then there were four. Then the roadworks reduced that to two. Now there are none. WHERE DO I PARK to go to Lupe Pintos!?
Agree with everything here and will add it perpetuates the stigmas about immigration itself. Immigration is not a crime, and the existence of armed enforcement is a choice that is based on the preferred optics of racists.
Many of us lost loved ones to Covid and many of us struggled with the virus when we caught it.
People claiming it was a "staged event" are dangerous conspiracy theorists who don't care at all about the victims of that terrible event. The idea they're standing as representatives is horrific.
I turned 16 in 1980 so I remember the 80s and 90s clearly. And they were pretty shit (aside from music, the music was good—but the music of your teens is *always* good). Choking air pollution, smoking in public spaces, ambient sexism, homophobia and racism everywhere. And fucking THATCHER.
It's always fascinating to see where other cultures mirror our own, in this case the presence of straight dudes with more privilege than intelligence.
I do think AI is different. Microsoft rebranding its most successful product and embedding AI everywhere. CEOs saying publicly they are rooting out anti-AI sentiment in their companies. Millions of redundancies forecast with unabashed glee. The only people optimistic about AI are the ultra wealthy.
I think more people need to learn how to avoid using the AI that's being forced into every corner of our lives 🤷🏻♂️
Isn't it funny that even Tory and reform voters end up supporting stuff like this.
#Blender cloth simulation but every time it plays the cloth doubles in detail.
“Google’s AI Overviews are peddling misinformation on a scale that may be virtually unprecedented in human history.
A recent analysis conducted at the behest of The New York Times found that the AI-generated summaries, which appear above Google search results, are accurate around 91% of the time.”
Clavicular is a 20 year old child and famous for no good reason, not due to any particular celebration-worthy talent. He is a victim of a form of mental illness that is exacerbated by attention. However, if I come up with a good joke about him, I will post it.
