Can we also drop the nonsense framing that existing otherwise than as a compassionless ghoul is 'woke'.

The challenge is to choose 20 books that greatly influenced you. One book per day, for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. 17/20 📚💙

Stock for one is obsessed with “the importance of procreation for the perpetuation of the human race” which she uses to sell the idea that “we can always tell” must be true. Which a) doesn’t follow and b) illustrates a pronatalist train of thought unsurprising from someone inspired by nazis.

Dodds was the shadow minister so this is pretty much the least surprising outcome.

So it's Anneliese Dodds as Minister for Women and Equalities. I'm not surprised, but I am ready to be extremely very disappointed.

It's interesting how the media often characterizes prominent anti-trans folks in England as "feminist," because "feminist" is viewed more positively in the UK than in the US. In contrast, transphobic writers in the States, making the same arguments, would be horrified to be labeled "feminist."

Wondering now if Starmer is going to split women and equalities roles apart, or even have multiple equalities roles. Which would give more spaces for more TERFS ofc 🙃

Naturally, they didn’t get much media attention outside of the LGBT press, even though every fucking tweet JKR posts gets an article written about it. But you can help spread the word. Tell your friends:

I’ve got a new Labour MP, which I wasn’t expecting. Think I will actually hike into one of their surgeries and explain what life is like as a trans person. Put a human face to them.

Cass: bought and paid for with a peerage. Ultimately her name may not live just as a symbol of medical malpractice, but also as a signifier of transparent corruption and corrosion. Getting a snout in the trough must dull the ignominy for such people, I suppose.

... one of the reviewers on the panel. And it was completely novel to see a trans women included on a programme with no reference to her being trans and no squabbling about gender. Society has seemingly completely lost its senses in the (near) half century since.

I think her daughter had some harsh words to say, I've never really delved into it. But yeah, for a long time she was one of the most visible trans people. I was startled the other day watching a DVD of "The Flipside Of Dominick Hyde" (1980) as an extra was a "Did You See?" episode and she was...

Oh, I'm sorry, did the sounds of fury induced by their vows to strip away human rights for trans people disturb your comfortable and complacent slumber? Patronising, pathetic stuff.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.
