sensibles in the media: extraordinary revelations that number 10 forced through this appointment, told civil servants to ignore checks and balances, and threw bungs to keir starmer's friends for services rendered. this is mind blowing stuff!
trans ppl: wait till you hear about the cass review.
Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman
This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.
It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?
A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

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!"

What is impressive about writing your wizardslop in a café owned by your family as you sit around all day drinking free espresso eating free scones and then going back to an apartment the government pays for that you never clean?
Like it sounds NICE yeah, but not impressive.

remember during the gorton and denton byelection where @lucympowell.bsky.social tried to smear the greens as pro date rape?
labour are pro-rape. they are pro the raping of trans women
remember that whenever you go to the ballot
this is called 'v-coding' and happens when we're put in male prisons
All these right wingers who converted to Catholicism in adulthood were just shopping around for an ideology that justified their pre-existing instincts and prejudices. If you convince them that Catholicism means peace and charity they'll just drop it and keep shopping.
Young Palestinian children are prevented from going to school after Israeli settlers - with the tacit approval of the Israeli state - blocked their path with a barbed-wire fence. Instead, they are forced to sit in the boiling heat to continue their education.
These are rolling out all over Scotland.
Inscrutable why the Electoral Commission has allowed this.
The guy doing it was kicked out of UKIP for being a Holocaust denier.

Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".
Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.

A screenshot of a news article. The headline reads: "Trans woman heavily criticised after being appointed to represent an endometriosis charity resigns 'in best interests' of the cause." Below the headline are social media sharing icons and a button that says "Be first to comment." In the center are two side-by-side photos of a blonde woman. The photo on the left is a professional studio portrait of her wearing a pink sleeveless top and a pearl necklace. The photo on the right shows her outdoors wearing a dark blue hooded jacket with a red badge. At the bottom of the image, the text reads: "07:03 EDT 16 Apr 2026, updated 07:50 EDT 16 Apr 2026 By ELIZABETH HAIGH, SENIOR NEWS REPORTER".
The British press managed to bully another trans woman out of her job. This is a regular occurrence now.
'Balance' on trans issues on the news never seems to mean asking trans people, or platforming trans advocacy. Instead it sounds like "As the Government bans trans people from going to restaurants we speak to a group who says the ban doesn't go far enough."
Vote Labour, get Reform
in 3 and a half years Scottish Labour have gone from "we support the expansion of trans rights" to "the day one priority of a Scottish Labour government would be to drastically increase the number of trans women getting raped in prison"
Cis people: just nip over to your GP to feel a little perkier by taking some T.
Trans people: just spend 5 years on a waiting list, go through a few psychiatric assessments, and if you survive that then you might get a prescription for exactly the same HRT.

Trump has made the worst mistake a dictator can make: he is hated but not feared by his enemies outside the US.
Trans people are still terrified of his administration though because we're pretty sure they will pull the trigger and wipe us out.
Iran? Not so much.
This isn’t uncommon. Paramedics will sometimes show up to an emergency with a trans person and just *not treat them*
Social murder is, in fact, real murder

Why do GC activists enjoy hurting children so much?
I'm not a very maternal person, but an adult giggling and celebrating getting children kicked out of a social group seems mentally abnormal to me.
SECOND THOUGHT OF THE DAY…
What would happen if a trans person engages in sexual activity with a cis person, after disclosing they were trans... Only for the cis person afterwards to claim that they did not.
Your word against theirs. You don’t need to be Einstein to see what our courts would find.
Incrdible that an institution such as the NHS, that supposedly bases its policy on the scientific method and 'patient 1st', has been captured by the TERF unqualified voices, rather than listening to people with an actual PhD in biochemistry, biology, paediatric physc., from WPATH, BAGIS, WHO, GIRES
Social Transition Changes in gender expression whereby the child or young person presents to others in line with societally expected indications of gender identity different to that of their natal sex is known as 'social transition'. This can be partial or in all forms and aspects of daily life. Appearance and behaviours (interests/activities or presentations socially defined and typically associated with another gender) are usually initiated by children or young people and often supported and facilitated by adults. The ability to express individuality and autonomy to change and adapt self-expression over time can be important to a child or young person's development and wellbeing. However, the social and psychological impact that social transition may have, means that advice may be sought of clinicians within The Service. Social transition should be recognised as a significant decision and therefore, while it is not a clinical intervention, it will often be become a significant and valid subject within an individual's care. While there are different views on the benefits versus the harms of childhood social transition, it is important to acknowledge that it is not a neutral act and that information is needed about long-term outcomes to support decision making. Information and discussion about this with the MDT are important within care for a child or young person in The Service. At the point of presentation to The Service some children and young people will have already socially transitioned or be in the process of effecting a social transition, while others may be considering this. It is important that the risks and benefits of social transition are discussed with the child or young person and family, referencing best available evidence. Decisions will be individual, and the agency to make the decision rests with the young person, along with their family. Individual autonomy to change or cease social transition is an important part of the discussion. This service …
The NHS is LYING about trans children and social transition.
There is no evidence WHATSOEVER that social transition is in any respect harmful.
There is however plenty of evidence that preventing social transition (otherwise known as conversion therapy) causes long-term psychological damage.
UK people, please consider signing this petition. It's not just about justice for past failings; it's really important to protecting LGBTQ+ people from similar initiatives today. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76... 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.
