I guess wanting trans people to be allowed to exist in public life, disabled people to be able to afford to live and refugees not to being hounded by racist mobs is “perfectionism” now.

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

RIP my Mam, Margaret O'Rourke (nee Perkins) who passed away peacefully today, wrapped in the love of her family & many friends. Mam was a pioneer - the 1st woman journalist on any provincial newspaper in Ireland. She was active & engaged in her community right up to the very end. RIP Mammy Kamikaze

She is smiling at the camera & wearing grey plaid pants, a lilac cardigan & blue t-shirt with floral pattern. On the wall behind is a picture of her with her sister Dorothy, her lifelong best friend, who died 7 years ago.

There are multiple meetings, multiple assessments, multiple way designed to deny healthcare just because you're this way or that way. This is a trauman inducing meat grinder. 60% of trans people are self medicating. Why on earth would anyone willingly put themselves through this!

I just had a focus group meeting over some draft ideas of the new HSE trans model of care. I almost exploded. I said before the ideas were presented that at best, I thought the HSE would do fuck all, at worst, I thought they'd find more efficient and effective means to abuse us. I was so right...

...I had to respond to the ass-backwards notion that trans ppl are "blackmailing" Dems. it's cis Dems who are blackmailing us, insisting that we vote for trans-exclusionary Dems even though they're revoking our rights & will blame us FOR THEIR BAD DECISIONS... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
As I was finishing this piece, I saw a political writer whose work I appreciate by and large suggest that Democrats feel “blackmailed” when trans people start talking about potentially abstaining from voting for candidates like Talarico, Turek, et al. To be clear, he wasn’t saying that we are blackmailing them, just that many people feel this way. And if this is truly how many cis Democrats feel, well, I have to say that’s the most ass-backwards thing I’ve ever heard! Trans people are not in control of what is happening here (we are a mere 1 percent of the population). We are simply reacting to what cis politicians (both Republicans and Democrats) are doing to us.
If anything, trans people are the ones being proverbially blackmailed by cis Democrats, who seem to be telling us: “So here’s the deal, you’re gonna vote for the Democratic candidate who says he’s gonna take away some of your rights. And if you don’t vote for him, then we’re gonna to blame the election loss on you.”

Zionists: Palestinians would throw you off a roof The Jerusalem Post: the enemies of Judaism are either "gay or Islamist"
If world media – political Left and Right, Christians and Muslims – are all focused on the Jewish people, it must mean that internally, we possess something worth focusing on. 

So what are we missing?

Our various enemies, whether gay or Islamist, strangely all have a uniting north star, be that “globalize the intifada” or “take down the capitalist system.” Whatever it may be, it is clear that hatred and resentment are extremely unifying.
