surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

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.

Carney must make cuts, not only invest more: former Bank of Canada governor | Power & Politics YouTube video by CBC News

Another former head of the Bank of Canada says Carney is not going far enough on austerity.

I dunno. Maybe it's the capitalists who are the problem.

Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes? plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

preparing to give another Trans People & "Biological Sex" talk, so I though I'd re-up this – it's an in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

As an organization, Stonewall is invested in legitimizing anti-trans oppression by divorcing hate campaigns from the policies that hurt (and sometimes kill) trans people.

It's not unlike how SCOTUS recently insisted that denial of meds to trans folks that are freely prescribed to cis is not bias.

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr EITM
Erin Reed does a deep dive on the federal ruling that lambasted Kennedy for illegally issuing a non-binding legal opinion that HHS used to bully scores of hospitals into closing gender clinics while saying it was just his opinion and protected as free speech.

Good guys rape. Friendly guys rape. Guys everyone likes rape. Democrats rape & so do socialists & anarchists. Get them out of your fold.

First- nobody deserves to be stuck with a sexual predator. And that includes sex workers.

Second- the presence of sex workers doesn't solve the problem because these people do not want consensual encounters.

They want the non consent part.

That's what we need to grapple with.

*takes a deep breath*

I hope one lesson people learn from #RapeAcademy situation is that access to consensual sex doesn't matter to a rapist because they WANT the nonconsent part.

So please stop suggesting these predators should just go see sex workers as some sort of solution to rape.

You Can Never Let Them Think They Have A Chance | Defector I don’t remember the first time someone hit on me as a reporter. I believe this is because my brain has come to treat these events as unremarkable. For any woman in journalism, they pile up over the y...

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about.

Thank you to It Could Happen Here and @miawong.bsky.social for talking to TNN's @davidforbes.bsky.social about this important issue.

The Catholic Church's horrific trans healthcare ban threatens trans people around the country. It's an injustice that needs *a lot* more attention.

‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility A worker died at Amazon’s Troutdale warehouse last week. Employees were told to look away.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view.

Workers I spoke to are pissed.

I remember managing Chairman Meow's kidney failure. 2 cans per day at $3.25 a can. Was worth it, I still miss that little guy.

Hi folks! Idaho just decided to outlaw teachers not being bigoted fuckfaces to trans students.

That seems like bad news! But what if there was a sliver of good news? Would that be worth talking about? yes?

OK then, let's read Idaho's news trans-hating law HB 822 & have a chat!

What’s the point in a civilization where one country psychotically murders its neighbours with impunity and everyone else with the ability to intervene just shrugs.

Well, this is concerning

Does Gender-Affirming Care Make Mental Health Worse? The case of a rather poorly-done paper.

A new paper has come out that has Twitter/X afire. It seems to argue that gender-affirming care for transgender youth is not only ineffective, but potentially harmful.

It's also a very poorly-done piece of work. My new piece:
gidmk.substack.com/p/does-gende...

Also a stark example of how classism and ableism are rampant among the "it's hopeless! You transes have to leave the country now!" types (indeed, plenty of the trans gentry pushing that line have plenty of those bigotries too).

I wanted to highlight how skewed to the right the Overton Window by pointing out some of these “left leaning” accounts:
Barack Obama
Republicans Against Trump
The Lincoln Project

But as I started looking closer, I saw Polymarket is “neutral” and a lot of the blue circles just aren’t even active 🤷‍♀️

Dave "N-word" Portnoy is "neutral"? The guy who has publicly supported Trump, created a media empire to normalize rape culture, and opposed mask and vaccine mandates?

I feel like BC premiers only beat the curse of being forced to resign in disgrace because they got more brazen about how unethical they were.

So corrupt. Remember when John Horgan retired and went straight to the board of Teck Coal? The NDP is run by corporations for their own interests. thenarwhal.ca/bc-teck-lobb...
