Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 11/02/2025The south's mental health minister has a trans son and has direct experience of using GenderGP. According to the new health minister, she's basically the government's point-person on this issue, which bodes well for them not embracing Cass. PBs are already de facto banned in the public system tho 1130

Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 31/01/2025It all worked out very nicely: Tiglin got a permanent home and the Pentecostalists got €2m from the taxpayer. And where do Tiglin hold their graduations? At an evangelical church... www.tiglin.ie/news/graduat...tiglin.ieGraduation November 2019Tiglin's graduation was held in Dublin at the Trinity Church on 9th November 2019.

Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Thinking about when Rowling said she wouldn't support Labour in the GE and then Stock and Bindel came out saying they would, but reluctantly. It was a weird non-rebuke rebuke. I think a lot of GCs are just naturally kiss-up kick-down types who like being on the winning side 011
Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I also think any Tory worth their salt knows that private healthcare is a safety valve. The PB ban specifically targets the most supportive and wealthiest families, so instead of divide and conquer you're uniting the opposition 030
Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 16/12/2024As an open-borders autistic tranné, the 2020s is not my idea of a good time, but there's a vicious honesty about it which I respect. Conflict and power are back. Rich people have stopped pretending to be our friends. Turns out it's not just "the 1%" - it's the entire notion of hierarchy between ppl 030

Of course this congealed into "it's toxic gaslighting emotional labour to make me consider the existence of other people", because it was always going to 130
Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 16/12/2024...rich people cosplaying as poor (in the Zuckerberg and Waller-Bridge sense), using "socialism" as code for 1950s-style capitalism, the idea that awareness-raising would solve all social injustices. Just a horrid decade of middle-class bureaucratic centrism masking naked post-2008 self-interest... 120
Soula Emmanuel @soula.bsky.social · 16/12/2024"Live, laugh, love" style calligraphy art, faux-aged aesthetics, skinny jeans and plaid, using left-wing politics as a branding exercise, using mental health as a branding exercise, the "patriarchy hurts men too" school of feminism... 120
