If you could use a pick-me-up, check out the Smithsonian’s live cheetah cub cam. The five-day old cubs are beyond adorable, and an important addition to the captive breeding program for this vulnerable species.

The reason for this absurd definition, which was set into law by the supreme court many years after the equality act was written and put into place by an institutionally transphobic court that refused to allow any trans rights group standing to speak, is because you can't use biology to define sex.

Reminder that "biological sex" is not a thing that exists. It is a legal fiction in every place that refers to it. In the UK, in the equality act, it means "the sex that was written on your original birth certificate." Incidentally, it doesn't matter if that's due to a clerical error.

The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

Much like the line in 1984 when he screams "do it to her, do it to Julia", GCs want to sacrifice women and girls who do not meet their white supremacist eugenics ideals or classism or racism, or cispremecy, to the threshing machine of patriarchal violence so they can feel safer.

I'll go further - GCs BENEFIT from the kinds of violence against women and girls we are seeing right now. It makes and remakes their relative safety and comfort and the Picked Ones.

I so desperately want cis people to understand this - the GCs are not feminists, they dont believe in women's rights, they dont value the agency or rights of children. GC is an abuser, forced birther, misogynist, racist, anti working class manifesto of bigotry. Its Andrew Tate with a Chanel handbag.

Telling that Wes Streeting considers someone diagnosed with ADHD has been 'written off'. Also telling that the government commissioned a review in the face of independent reviews finding there is no overdiagnosis, just increased awareness & historic underdiagnosis of girls & women.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the reason there’s so much curated cultural outrage over the increase in diagnoses is that SO MANY WOMEN ARE BEING DIAGNOSED LATER IN LIFE. What, are we supposed to fund healthcare for WOMEN now are we?! Gross. No. Shut it down.

Sarah Carter @ephemerawoman.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

If this were true (and it isn’t, BBC is spinning it wildly) then surely we’d be seeing a rise in diagnosis in men/boys. What we’re actually seeing is a rise in diagnosis in women/girls because medical professionals decided only boys could be autistic/have ADHD 🤬

Pleased to announce that ADHD is being overdiagnosed again according to the BBC and pathetic skidmark Wes Streeting, so now - during ADHD Awareness Month no less - it's time to give it up and just be normal. Let it go. Just turn it off and get on with things www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I've talked about this before, but it is very hard when you see how moral red lines are drawn, and the complete gutting of trans people's civil rights is entirely within an accepted norm and barely remarked upon even by many progressives.

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.
