I'm intrigued as to what policy dictates what you do on a private social media account, but doesn't seem to cover staff who've been retweeting transphobic content on company accounts?

Just found out about a massive data leak at Twitter/X. I don't use it anymore but I keep my account alive so no one else can claim my username. I just changed my password and suggest others do too. Also use 2FA whenever you can.

There was lead in EVERY tampon they tested.
There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic.
Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. 🙃

Still holding out hope, we'll see who is appointed as the women's and equalities minister. Feel a bit sorry for Yvette Cooper with a "stop the boats" mandate, there needs to be "safe routes"/local claim processing rather than more Jack boots on patrol :/

The easiest lowest effort way to defeat fascism is just by showing up and putting an X in the right box. The other alternatives are much much harder - that’s why the far right puts so much effort into demoralising the opposition and suppressing the vote. They’re freaking terrified of democracy.

With all the talk about low turnout at this election, why isn't anyone making the link to this being the first general election that requires id, and that such measures are known to suppress votes?

The result of the most transphobic election campaign of modern times has been electoral Armageddon for the Tories. “Populism” isn’t the same as Popular.

It is amazing how the what the rightwing view as a terrible outcome, sounds like a positive change.
Would be lovely to have lib-dems as opposition, but that probably is too much to hope for.

But why even argue that it is somehow self evident that Tennant should be ignored in this case... just because identity politics was used as some form of defence for her actions doesn't mean it had any credence and we all have to go... Ofcourse that makes sense.

Idk, it is just a "see, I always pick the winner" in a two horse race where you've watched your initial pick going around the track without a rider for the last ten minutes and think it's probably time to bet on the other horse.

Head of the NHS is about to be changed, Faulkner will be out in November, Badenoch's plans to change the equality act have been stopped, Truss's bathroom bill she already tried to present will no longer see the light of day. Plans to leave the echr shelved. That was the trajectory we were on. 🤷♀️

It would be nice, but I think the issue with that combination would be the SNP want to have an independent Scotland and I believe the libdems are one nation. I am not sure that makes for an easy coalition, but I wouldn't rule anything out.

I mean, if you were from the UK you'd be talking about the rise of the Murdoch press 20+ years ago, not fox bloody news, which is a total irrelevance here... let alone brining in Nixon... Thatcher and Baroness Nicholson are right there ffs.. as for evangelicals... we have them, but....

No, no, vote for the independent candidate who only has 0.5% of the vote share in your area... that'll show both the tories and labour.

You know... you should be angry at the first past the post system, right? Weird stuff... like how the lib-dems get all the flack for student tuition fees, while the conservatives who forced it through get absolutely no blow back whatsoever. A political master stroke, really.

I'm not blind to this. There are a number of "gender critical" MP's absolutely, Duffield is right there. It isn't the votes they are courting though, unlike the conservatives/reform - it's more of a dirty secret, rather than something they are out and proud about. Not saying it is great, it's not.

Agreed on the red flags, absolutely. Duffield still has the whip... However, I don't view religious bigotry, like preventing trans women from going to a mikveh as an equal issue to accessing your bathroom at work When talking about "protecting single-sex spaces", you're covering both scenarios

Absolutely! Part of the problem is that we live in a country where we have effectively a two party system with first past the post. That is the system that needs to be changed. Also the whole "enlightened liberal"/centrist needs to get in the bin and the paradox of tolerance needs to kick in.

Karen's are going to Karen and they will piss off far more cis people than trans people. The big issue has been and always will be work places when it comes to bathrooms, rather than strangers in public spaces tbh. But hey, what do I know.

Well, with luck, we can find out if your cheery disposition is right. The biggest difference will be who is in opposition tbh. If we can have a party that isn't reliant on "culture war" bs to cling to power, it'll change the direction of things a lot.

I mean, it is just a reflection of the law as it currently stands. That proportional clause in the gra. It was also said on the interview circuit that bathrooms aren't policed now and they wouldn't be introducing bathroom police.

That was the times headline interpreting what he said, rather than what he said. No automatic right to all single sex spaces was reported as a toilet ban.

Your regular reminder that "socially conservative" and "family values" are euphemisms for being a homophobic bigot. This shouldn't be treated as a difference of opinions that should be tolerated.
