it's hard to explain to the younger generation how meaningful The Rocky Horror Picture Show was, in spite of its uhhhhh very muddled gender politics. the idea that sex/gender/gender performance could be, like, fun? not a punishment? was brand fucking new to me when I watched it at seventeen.

At root, it’s over half a decade of the whole media class closely collaborating with a fraudulent political project because most of its members agree Labour voters are stupid pig-people who need to be wrangled and harassed into voting for even more harsh and painful cuts. Is that democracy, is it?

The weather is glorious, England have soared through to the World Cup round of 16 and one Sir Keir Starmer has just weeks left as Prime Minister. So where better to celebrate – or commiserate, if you ...

This gets doubly bad, if basically the last ten years of Labour politics was you and your mates relentlessly smashing fuck out of Sir Keir’s predecessor and his supporters, just so you could then cheer Starmer on to one of the all-time horrific clown performances in office. That looks really bad!

If your judgement is that bad, then things like Sir Keir instantly flaming out and crashing raises questions about what exactly it is that you’re paid to do.

The stuff about this admirable, decent man with his inoffensive politics and respectable behaviour has 0% to do with Sir Keir’s actual conduct, and is entirely about how the British pundit class absolutely has not fucked it into the stratosphere yet again, in a humiliating fashion.

When I was in my late teens my sister was babysitting, I came home to find the kids unattended and the bathroom door locked. I had to kick it in and carry her to the ambulance after she washed down a bunch of pills with vodka.

PinkNews platforming Streeting after firing their few remaining journalists so he can lie about his assault on trans rights and gaslight the public about Labour’s war on trans kids and dismantling their healthcare is the end of the site. I’ve been interviewed by them, they’ve used my work. No more.

Summary here: Sir Keir foolishly asked a good faith actor to investigate what happened in the Labour racism scandal and when he produced a report saying it was *wildly* different to what the public had been told about it, ignored him. The party later sent him menacing letters for talking about it.

Boris Johnson's slurs are one thing. Keir Starmer overseeing the introduction of a new Section 28 in schools for trans and non-binary people, supporting segregation and backing Wes Streeting as he drives kids to suicide after stripping them of their healthcare is on a whole other level.

I wonder how different this week would have been if the Girl Guides' statement had said "we're closing the Girl Guides with immediate effect due to legal threats by transphobic organisations funded by JK Rowling, which we cannot afford to contest". Could have been the moment the tide turned.

"There's a billionaire threatening to sue the WI through her proxies if they don't throw out their trans members" makes you sound like a lunatic but that is in fact what's happening. Is that good or bad? I think a simple question.

Speaking as the president of an NGO and as a trans woman: when orgs decide to abandon a group, to sacrifice them, it is not that group’s job to “understand how hard it would have been to fight.” If trans people hope to survive, it is our job to make that abandonment costly as hell. Make them hurt.

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.' And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.' Absolutely pathetic.
“They’ve been so respectful and so understanding of the decision, but profoundly sad,” she said. “I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them." Nope, it's betrayal.

I agree, and in particular I would look at things like: It could not possibly have been more obvious that Johnson’s “levelling up” plan was back-of-a-fag-packet bullshit and an insult to the public, the second it was announced. Was it received and explained as a pitch black fraud and an affront?
