I very rarely use the word scum to refer to a person but sometimes it is the only word appropriate for the absolute moral depravity of these awful people. As usual being a TERF aligns with being monstrously lacking in compassion and a totally entitled bigot. JHB can get in the sea

One of the right wing commentators who was gleefully hounding Jason Arday prior to his death now telling us that his “huge” (implied unworthy) book advance will cover his funeral costs. She is an absolute monster

This was the first time since moving to London in 2009 I’ve encountered homophobic abuse in my city. Here’s the driver who was speeding down Kingly St which is semi-pedestrianised only allows unloading vans, he nearly clipped me told me to f*ck off then called me a “batty boy” still angry about it

29 years without you Dad, but this year is hitting a little bit differently now I’m a father too. You’ve got three beautiful granddaughters now, and your three sons are all happy and loved by someone special. All that to say RIP Dad (I always take my glasses off for photos too) lots of love Nicky.

Some belated news about @patricknessbooks.bsky.social & I for the BlueSky crowd! Gender reveals? ❌ Reinforce patriarchy and gender norms & are an unnecessary delineation of celebrating a little miracle entering the world… GENGAR Reveals - ✅ honour a true OG dual type mischievous Pokémon icon!

Happy Pride month to all, it feels as if the world teeters on the edge of an actual cataclysm with current genocides, AI and evil authoritarian right wing despots ruining it… But at the same time I’ve achieved so much since last year, and as a new Dad I have a new reason to fight and stay proud 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Aside from the controversy surrounding the Lords’ intervention tanking the flawed Assisted Dying Bill against the will of the House of Commons. Can someone explain why BBC News is framing landmark HUMAN RIGHTS legislation as matters of conscience?! This is dangerous www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A screenshot of the BBC News article which refers to several landmark pieces of U.K. human rights legislation as “votes on matters of conscious” this is dangerous and harmful.

Honestly, as I always point out whenever someone claims these pathetic pick me shills are feminists rather than obsessive bigots with a regressive axe to grind they *ALWAYS* tell on themselves. This rhetoric is as far for feminism as it is humanly possible to be.

Julie Burchill, notorious transphobe and supposed journalist here arguing that it doesn’t matter if predatory men can generate explicit images of women without their consent (implied that it’s also fine that some monsters are abusing this technology to do the same to actual children).

A case in point, as far as we know we did not watch an episode of Cannabis Drag Race (although that might explain some of the dodgy decision making of the judges’)

Next time on Canada’s Drag Race has been badly transcribed by an AI subtitle generator as “Next time on Cannabis Drag Race”

You’re missing the context here - by lots of people Joylon means our MPs including the disgraceful pick me Wes Streeting who apparently has no issue with calls to punch Trans people in public

Wes Streeting defending Graham Linehan’s incitement of violence against the Trans community

Nick Coveney @nmjcoveney.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Well no one is surprised that vile spineless pick-me Wes Streeting is aligning himself with transphobes and defending a direct incitement of violence by a bigot are they? And yet this man is deemed impartial when it comes to Trans healthcare. This country is a joke

Graham Linehan’s tweet inciting violence against innocent Trans people on 20th April “Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.”

Wes Streeting who is in charge of Trans healthcare provision in the U.K. publicly condemning Linehan’s arrest despite him breaking the law by inciting violence. Presumably because Wes doesn’t like Trans people very much and has no problem with them being punched for existing in public

As per usual the reporting bias in @thebookseller.com here is atrocious again no mention of the extreme, violent and unpleasant language which Boyne recently used to champion JKR even the extremely flawed BBC do it better. Just do the barest bare minimum

Extract from BBC article summarising the cancellation of this year’s Polari prize https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyvme385e6o the highlighted section references Boyne’s comment likening Trans inclusive cis women as “read to pin a handmaiden down as her husband rapes her.”

Mission accomplished, Bell is one of the good Labour MPs but doesn’t deny the harm her party are currently overseeing towards LGBTQ+ people. We talked about the flawed Supreme Court ruling and its lack of clarity & the gross overreach and serious harm being caused by the ECHR’s draft guidance…

Dear Bell,
Please remember our chat and continue to support the LGBTQ+ community, disabled people and the people of Gaza.

I do not want to see Keir Starmer or Labour UK anywhere near Pride in London ever again - bowing down to Transphobic bigots over a warped and biased ruling which architects of the Equality Act 2010 have already spoken out against… Labour has abandoned the LGBTQ+ community

Keir Starmer has clarified that the position of his government is Transphobic

Melanie Field, one the civil servants who drafted the 2010 Equality Act has spoken out in the wake of the biased Supreme Court ruling

Nick Coveney @nmjcoveney.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Let’s be very clear here @theguardian.com has doubled down on its historic commitment to casual Transphobia by claiming that cis Women are being “protected” which implies that all Trans women are an inherent threat - and somehow this is a “dignified compromise”? Utterest bullshit

A totally biased and bigoted opinion piece from a very Transphobic paper
