Pretty sure this is what'd happen if I tried to keep the beat as a drummer.

NC: I think a person can have enough judgment from reading books and being well informed outside of traditional experience to make judgment calls about obvious things like a grant that literally lists DEI in its description to know whether it violates an EO.

What books?

NC: There were no books.

I have a contact (a trans woman) in Portland, Maine, who is willing to host trans and non-binary people seeking refuge from unsafe states.

1 to 3 months, with support to engage with organisations in the area to enable a fresh start.

Email: contact@essehouse.co.uk for more details.

Beavers have been reintroduced to London, but to my knowledge they've not displaced any former prime ministers. Can Nigel clarify if this is or is not woke?

Seeing proof this morning that GC transphobes aren’t just safer at trans inclusive events than trans people would be at theirs…

GC transphobes are safer at trans inclusive events than at GC events where there’s racism, factionalism and fighting!

The hate only starts in one place.

Badly edited picture of Shabana Mahmood doing standup.

The caption reads "You know who's been long overdue a challenge? Victims of Domestic Violence! Oh they've had their guard down for too long if you ask me!"

I think the only way that it would've, is if Bindel or Forstater had been confronted.

You can bet it'd have been newsworthy in that case.

Proposed law change will protect abusive men who push women to suicide, campaigners warn Charity criticises new measures that would make it harder for inquests to pass verdict of unlawful killing

"Ministers want to make it harder for inquests to pass verdicts of unlawful killing, which have been crucial in getting justice for women who committed suicide after suffering abuse."

I don't think anyone expected Labour would change course after its electoral drubbing but this is 🀯

Sorry, hadn't seen you'd already posted a link to the video.

There's plenty of shitty trans people, there's no need to invent anti-Semitism to blame on the most famous living black trans woman.

Just write down the last thing Caitlyn Jenner said.

It seems like she's just drawing the parallel between modern fascism and that of the Nazis.

Certainly not how it's been paraphrased.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Same pattern in UK polling. YouGov's last big poll on trans issues also indexed respondents' views on other social prejudices, and what do you know - pro-trans respondents were much more likely to recognise misogyny and see it as a problem, anti-trans respondents more likely to dismiss it!

Just over three years ago our prime minister was a man who compared Muslim women to letterboxes and wrote about "picaninnies with watermelon smiles."

How could you not believe that as a country we'd platform open racism?

Thirty-two experts find no evidence ADHD is being overdiagnosed

It’s a bit like how we didn’t β€˜overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Really importantly - THIS 1000 page 'evidence' review, does not dignify a detailed response.

I will NOT be preparing a detailed analysis of every wrong step taken.

We need to instead state openly & clearly that this fraud is abusive and beneath contempt. That we reject it.

frenchsean.bsky.social @frenchsean.bsky... 39m So?

Most GC people would say that a Trans Woman is a biological male - that is also fact.

2 things can be true simultaneously.

Saying a Trans Woman is a biological male is a statement of fact - it infuriates people, but it is stating a fact.

People can believe and say things that they believe to be true - that is their right.

Oranges and Apples - because that would defamation.

Expressing the view that a Trans Woman is a biological male - for example - would be absolutely fine as it is true.

Or do you not accept that?

With no offense to John Darnielle, it'll be nice when This Year isn't the song I find myself singing half a dozen times a day.

It's an improvement on Suicide is Painless, but still less than ideal.

It's really frustrating that when the topic of trans rights comes up, a lot of ostensibly pro-trans politicians start talking about sports and "pronouns" (w/o elaborating on what they mean), instead of talking about efforts to criminalize healthcare, to legalize discrimination, to revoke IDs, etc.
