Oh, so 13 TERFs.

If you're a cis person who thinks that Starmer and his government being appalling on trans human rights is a non-issue because 'nobody's perfect', rather than a telling insight into a fundamental lack of respect for basic human rights law, and a necessary warning for all people to heed...well.

‘But what about the genuine concerns of women?’

Lots of white people had genuine fears during segregation. Most probably didn’t think they were racist, but accommodating them was bad then and it’s bad now.

My sympathy for someone’s fears ends when it’s used to oppress others.

You didn't, Lindawl. You Bastard did in the post I was replying to. I agree with your premise, the men in power want women hairless, powerless and sanctuary less and they pass that ideology down to the rest of men through the messaging of patriarchal society.

"Prepubescent" and "without breasts" are not the same thing.

Yes, men like boobs. Most everyone likes boobs.

But consider - why does the average Western Society male gaze demand that women shave?

Two doors - the ‘male’ entrance is wide and square like a door. The ‘woman’ entrance is a cutout of a very thin long haired woman in heels.

This cartoon by Naked Pastor is SO GOOD. Sums up what I’ve been saying for ages about what happens when you start gatekeeping womanhood (and spoiler alert it’s the opposite of feminism).

I recognize this isn't the point but...

N'est pas?

Also - non, ce n'est pas.

A typewritten note that reads "Nazi lives don't matter." Its text is inverted to be white and then a number of lightning effects have been layered to give the entire card a primarily pink glow, but with shades of apricot and white leaking in as well. The lower left corner has a star field coming out of it, projected out in an arc toward the center of the card

Now they want to ARREST us if they don’t approve of what we are WEARING, the misogyny does not stop

it is pretty funny that transphobic posts on bluesky are always liked by 99% men.

the bots and fake women trolls don't consider bluesky worth their time so you get a more accurate picture.

organised transphobia is a male dominated movement.

One of the best things I ever saw on a sports field was the New Zealand vs Fiji rugby match - before kick-off there was a Haka vs Cibi throwdown and it was glorious.

The enemy's Overton window is down.

Victim blaming is never a cool look.

Quelle sauvage!

Oh, fair!

So like, throwing the heart on a fire, oooorrr...?

BBC BBC FFAGAN SAIN BBC NEWS Reform UK will tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says

Absolutely.

The fuck.

Not.

And any of my countryfolk knowingly deciding to vote for surrendering yet more of our culture to English millionaires who would be happier if we all died are clearly a bigger threat to our nation than any immigrant.

The hearts of unworthy men.

Ok, I filled a BBC complaint about it and so should you

You can find my complaint in the alt text, but I urge you to write your own if able.

To me, Ghibli works are about showing us that the world is beautiful and there is much to love *even with* the darkness that people are forced to confront in it, and I feel like there's a lot of media that wants to use those aesthetics but avoid the substance of the work.

I'm sure they would, given the way they treated Mamdani during his election campaign.

Or ounce-for-ounce, depending

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich"

Kamala Harris cites concerns about trans athletes in her book The Trump campaign attacked Harris over her positions on transgender rights. She says they were misconstrued.

Like.. I did not come by this shit in a vacuum. But then, you happened to brush up against inconvenient truths so never mind. See no evil, hear no evil, vote "lesser evil."

And not an ounce of self-introspection was had.

I wish the best for your sister's eldest and your coworkers. Maybe fucking listen to what they're saying about legislation that hurts them in the future?

I'm sorry that you and your friends are being hurt *now.*

Join the fucking party, I guess.

Actually, don't. We don't want you ruining the vibe.

You wanna know what, realistically, could have been done to stop the rise of Trump?

Maybe if you, old man, had got off your fucking ass and ensured that democracy hadn't been well and truly fucked before we were able to vote. How about that?

The irony of blaming other people for lack of action when all you're doing is spewing incentive at people for *daring* to not engage in the dual-genocide system.
