Also, does she really believe the groups of paramilitary racists are gonna be perfectly happy with allowing her to be British so long as she doesn't claim to be English? It's like a turkey voting for Christmas in the hope that that'll somehow let them avoid Thanksgiving.

Gray Morrow’s 1967 cover art for 'The Jewel in the Skull,' by Michael Moorcock
A golden knight with a horned helmet sits on a golden unicorn in a field of tall grass. Behind them is a lone tower, and five soldiers with lances are in the sky, riding big pink birds.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Oh look, it turns out that successive British governments have been “feigning helplessness” over Israel’s criminality and have merely been “paying lip service” to a peaceful resolution. Exactly like we’ve been saying they were for years. And all it took to notice was the government doing something.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

Matthew Scott, the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent, has remained completely silent regarding yesterday's racist unlawful assembly. In contrast, this is what he posted during the Insulate Britain protests. Two-tier aye?
Screenshot of Matthew Scott post on Facebook, dated 17 September 2021. My office and I continue to liaise with Kent Police regarding protests on the M25. Pleased to report swift arrests and road re-opening earlier on today but remaining vigilant for further disruptions.

Do not speak to the BBC if you are trans. Just don't do it. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Even if you know the reporter and they are not an ass, tell them to go fuck themselves anyway because they work for the BBC and their editors will do this regardless of the journalist's intent.

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

The reason why people think Dolly was “politically neutral” is because they don’t understand being political as a series of actions born of commitment to an idea. Being political as defined by the pundit class is to be in front of a microphone delivering sound bytes, it’s something to be devoured

Well this seems interesting and unsurprising archive.ph/vB0BP
Then there is the claim that ADHD is a social construct, not a neurodevelopmental condition. This is something Pemberton concludes after talking to neuroscientist Katya Rubia at King’s College London. Rubia says that while there is evidence of differences between the brains of people with ADHD and neurotypical people at the group level, it isn’t possible to diagnose ADHD from a brain scan.
She is right, of course. You can’t diagnose ADHD from brain scans. The same can be said for most, if not all, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. Most of these, like ADHD, are diagnosed by assessing symptoms and the effect they have on a person’s everyday ability to function. “My interview was hours long and they cherry-picked the bits that suited their push for presenting ADHD as a myth,” Rubia told New Scientist. “Biased programs like this one that push their view of ADHD as a mythical entity are irresponsible and will have detrimental effects.”

The last paragraph of this correspondence The Lancet published following the Supreme Court's judgement is 'Chef's Kiss' perfection www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Why should genitals supersede brains? This is the argument one would have liked to read. The Court’s discussion is poorly informed and simplistic. No doubt the clarity of its conclusion will be welcomed by some, but reducing a complex subject to an overly simple one is not what is needed. Their Lordships would have benefited from a refresher course on sex and gender differentiation.

Targeting trans people made these women a lot of male friends on the right and far right. Rather than taking that as the wake-up call it was, they dug in, and began to look for other ways to impress their new friends. Andrea Dworkin’s classic Right-Wing Women explored the dynamics eloquently in 1978
