During the 2012 Olympics I exclusively watched women's combat sports: boxing, judo, taekwondo. As a sporting experience it was absolutely up there in terms of drama, skill, sheer enjoyment. Never recaptured it.

She is showing her backside is what she is. Displaying her fundament to the elements. It's like her "Article 8 doesn't apply" statement.

I am against police and prisons but if I wasn't, that would be indictable.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Trans People Deserve Better "Gender critical" feminism doesn't help women but it does help the far right

This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead.

Trans People Deserve Better.

Round here we need folks who will do this thing called "work". In return, local employers give them cash, seems like a good deal. People who move to my home town get a particular status: "neighbours". And we don't let the Gestapo take our neighbours. Fairly sure that's clear.

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >

Thankfully David Cameron's government was strong and stable and not batshit at all.

The soft pedaling language being used to describe the men in the Epstein files is enraging.

They didn’t β€œhave sex with underage girls”.

They raped them.

Sex implies consent.

The survivors deserve better than this. Use the correct language. Say what these men did.

Still slightly shocked that folks didn't have to launch a judicial review or report anyone to the International Criminal Court for this to happen. The US really must have shat the bed.

Emily Maitlis not a doctor not trans not an expert in this field worked for ideological reasons to get healthcare for kids shut down, paid for by the licence fee - and she complains about ideological capture. Absolutely farcical

I am expecting the self-styled protectors of women's rights to get on this. That Harry Potter money will come rolling in. Accompanied by the champions in the right wing press. Any time now. Or is it likely that because it involves challenging the wealthy & powerful, that has no chance of happening?

Cyndi Lauper delivered a powerful call to action during her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Both parties actively endorsed Andrew Cuomo and he STILL couldn't beat a vocally pro-Palestine, pro-trans, socialist, Muslim immigrant. The vindication I feel IS a part of that obvs coz I'm a petty little cunt. But I mostly feel intense joy and relief that another way has been shown to be possible.
