Forty-something trans exile (he/him) and Die Hard anti-fascist. Menace to society (allegedly). Inconveniently British. Woke but very tired

Yup. I’ve decided not to talk about left and right. I go by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Now let’s see who’s calling those “woke” or leftie ideas because they are supposed to be the bar all of our politics does not drop below.

Honestly, losing both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry on the same day is almost too much. This queer trans heart is broken 💔

"Academic freedom" losers love to promote "inquiry" up until the minute you specifically inquire with them about why they think certain types of people are subhuman then they start sputtering and overhearing like an old engine.

Will anyone acknowledge how revealing it is about the underpinnings of "gender critical" ideology that they're all coming out to bat for the self-described "race realist"?

The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed

There’s an entire industry dedicated to euphemising and laundering the reputations of mediocre white men, from career embellishments all the way to outright fraud. Hollywood literally churns out blockbuster movies glorifying their exploits. Yet if you’re black, plagiarism carries the death penalty

When I criticize Dems in the United States who waffle on transgender issues, its because I don't want them turning into Labour UK, who pretty much has fully espoused transphobia and is enacting extreme harm on trans people in that country far worse than the conservatives had done.

Amnesty International UK report on the anti-rights movement in the UK
EDM 603: tabled on 14 July 2026
Tabled in the 2026-27 session.
This motion has been signed by 4 Members. It has not yet had any amendments submitted.Motion text
That this House expresses extreme concern
at Amnesty International UK's report
entitled A Growing Threat: the Anti-Rights
Movement in the UK, published on 8 July;
condemns its depiction and listing of
organisations defending the rights of
women, girls, children, and gay and
bisexual people as anti-rights on the basis
of them being gender critical; further
condemns its depiction and listing of
organisations of parents and of clinicians as
promoting conversion practices; notes that
organisations depicted as supposedly anti-rights includes many grassroots women's rights organisations doing vital work domestically and internationally with vulnerable women and children, and a rape crisis centre and support service for female that gender critical belief is a protected belief under the Equality Act 2010 and reflects the views of the majority of the public; also notes that it is perfectly
survivors of male violence; further notes
legitimate to organise around the protected
characteristic of sex and to offer single-sex
spaces, as clarified by the recent SupremeCourt ruling in For Women Scotland vs The Scottish Government; recognises that such organisation, work and services are fundamentally important; also condemns the report for making unevidenced characterisations; acknowledges the damaging impact of such baseless accusations for the small grassroots charities and organisations listed; and calls on Amnesty International to withdraw the report, issue a formal public correction and apology acknowledging the reputational harm, and pledge that Amnesty staff who hold gender critical beliefs can express such beliefs without fear of bullying or harassment.Antoniazzi, Tonia

At some point you accepting that trans rights are disposable for the comfort of everyone else will lead to apathy that you won't get people out of in generations. And that's not trans people's fault, that is and will be liberals allowing the rot of transphobia in like they allowed corporate greed.

I need people to understand that Trans people understand harm reduction, we as a block keep fucking voting for harm reduction in large numbers, but it keeps fucking us up globally. It's not up to trans people that have been backstabbed over and over again by liberal parties to just take it forever.

The way British people hate and despise tube drivers for the crime of having a decent wage (£60k) and daring to go on strike is genuinely so sad. Why do you think they have a decent wage? Might have something to do with having a solid union prepared to strike. No that's crazy that's crazy talk

Farage justifying a £5m ‘gift’ from crypto billionaire to pay for ‘security’ - which it turns out means purchasing a £1.4m Clacton property in cash. An ivory tower to supposedly protect himself from the ‘common man’ he fraudulently claims to represent. The absolute state of it

Manosphere bros: “Loving your wife is gay” “Washing your own asshole is gay” “Washing another man’s asshole, however…” I can’t wait for the moment of realisation when redpillers finally embrace their man-love for each other. Hating women is the projection of their inability to accept themselves

The thing about parents "mourning their cis child" when they become trans is that, at least in my case, my father decided he preferred the dead cis child in his head to the live trans one in front of him. And the rest of my family think it's fine that he wants the ghost in his life rather than me.

When non-genetic cis fathers can be named on their children’s birth certificates but not trans dads, that is blatant transphobic discrimination. It is transphobic discrimination for them, their partners & most importantly for their sons, daughters or non-binary children.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
