To be clear, because this moron seems to think that such rights as LGBTQ+ people have were won by just sitting quietly and waiting to be given them: queer activists were loud, in your face and, yes, alienating, because that is literally the only way we were able to get any kind of change.

Every time I see an American claim that trans people kill their own support, I think about how in the UK, self ID polled majority support until the media attacked it. When Labour accepted self ID should die, we were told to let them win, it would get better. Now we have a bathroom ban. Fuck you.

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.

Incredible BBC-ing from the BBC here, responding to the axing of their queer-led shows like I Kissed a Boy/I Kissed a Girl and Drag Race UK by pointing out they’ve got Mr Loverman (a one-off miniseries aired in 2024) and some token gays in Amandaland
The BBC recently announced Smoggie Queens, which features predominantly
LGBTQ+ characters, would be renewed for a third series, and it represents the
community elsewhere through storylines in shows including Mr Loverman, Amandaland, Vigil and EastEnders.

Speaking as someone who was there in the early 2000s, blogs weren't slop. Some of them were CRAP, but it was all HUMAN-MADE. The equivalent of "A.i." slop back then was the SPAM in blog COMMENTS. That was industrialized, automated, scammy bullshit -- just like generative "A.i." now.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

Not going to share the video, because it is actually horrific, but the footage of Reform members assaulting a young protestor whilst Farage smiles and jokes is probably one of the most disgusting things I've seen in politics and speaks to the fundamental weakness in Reform voters' character.

jon ronson has written a book about men who go crazy online and he's dedicated an entire chapter to graham linehan. graham is not going to like the observer review.
Ronson’s account of Graham Linehan is another harrowing tale of a man’s life ruined by the internet. Linehan was a beloved comedy writer, co-creator of Father Ted, and a prolific presence on Twitter, where he was well liked and respected. Then, in 2013, something began to shift, when an episode of his sitcom The IT Crowd, first broadcast in 2008, was repeated. In it, a man discovers his girlfriend is transgender and a brawl breaks out between the two. Viewers did not like the display of violence nor the supposed implication that the trans woman was “really” a man, underlying maleness bursting forth uncontrollably once she is angry.

Linehan responded to criticism with polite bafflement, then defensiveness, and finally overt anger. He began to research transgender issues and developed a singular obsession with the topic, which has since gone on to comprehensively destroy his career and personal life. Linehan, who believes trans activism and indeed ordinary trans existence pose an existential threat to women, talks of little else (except, these days, a fervent pro-Israel stance). He tweets near-constantly, cloaking his obsession with supposed concern for the wellbeing of cisgender women, but he does not balk at aggressively insulting those women who disagree with him.Linehan’s self-ignited ruin stopped being satisfying for even his opponents to watch a while back, and now is only profoundly depressing. Ronson was once a good friend, but in refusing to endorse Linehan’s beliefs about transgender issues, he was added to his long list of his enemies. In The Castle, Ronson speaks to him directly, having been attacked countless times on Linehan’s social media feed. One thing that becomes clear, beyond the truly abject state of Linehan’s wellbeing, is that he is able to persevere with his campaign because he has convinced himself he is battling the greatest danger currently at play in the world. At one point he suggests that there are so many fewer serial killers nowadays because all the sociopaths have migrated to the internet in order to argue with him about trans issues instead. It reminded me of religious protesters screaming at me in Dublin once, as I walked into a reproductive-rights clinic that provided information about abortion. I was furious, but then forced myself to think about how I would feel or act if I truly, earnestly believed that every abortion is equivalent to the murder of a child. That might, indeed, drive me mad.

The Linehan chapter is brilliant: insightful, candid and moving. I’m still not convinced that any broader crisis of masculinity or male purpose had much to do with Linehan’s downfall, though. He wasn’t at a loss or empty of purpose when he began his campaign. He didn’t turn to vitriol because he didn’t have anything else to do. His case is, if anything, notable for involving a man with an enviable life and abundant success throwing it away for reasons that to many in the outside world may seem obscure or deranged.
