“This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children. They have step by step dismantled every protection that supported my daughter […] At every point when the Labour Government could have made something better, they have turned around and given her another kick.”

Ah yes, the mind is boggled by immigrants and tourists who don’t want to get abused and thrown into a secret nightmare prison for weeks or months before eventually being whisked away to a country they didn’t come from in the first fucking place. What a mystery!

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Wes Streeting continuing to push the govt line that the UK is not involved in the war on Iran. US bombers were taking off from the UK to bomb Iran & UK military forces have been actively engaged in blocking Iranian retaliation. "No part in this war" is a lie.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Hey, who remembers that time that Arnold Schwarzenegger said that nazis and confederates were losers, and that if you support them, then you are a loser too? And then half of the GOP turned against him and said "Don't call me a loser?"🤡 And so Arnold told them again, louder this time? I remember!

“this government wants trans people and their families to feel safe and accepted in our society.” I think I can speak for most trans people and their families when I say, they don’t and increasingly they aren’t, precisely because of Labour’s decisions. How can they believe this stuff they type?

According to Merriam-Webster a terrorist is defined as ”a person who uses or advocates violence, destruction, and fear to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals”. Daniel Thomas is a terrorist, not a protestor, and if you support him, you support terrorism. bsky.app/profile/news...

The best kind of masculinity is the kind that doesn't give a fuck if you wear a tutu and have a beard because your daughter wants you to be a fairy princess. Or if your son wants to be on the dance team, not baseball. Men are not defined by what some idiot thinks is masculine.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

It's difficult to break free from indoctrination. When you have to look yourself in the mirror & face what you've done in support of false ideology, & walk away from what you believed to be true. We must keep this in mind when speaking to others who are starting to see the lies for what they are.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

Because Tilly is a pretty object made to be used by men, so of course it’s a “she” to them. Whereas trans woman clearly have interiority & agency who use it to refuse their bullshit hierarchy, so of course we are villainous subhuman monsters undeserving/incapable of having true personhood.
