This non-penis owner, according to the UK Supreme Court is a man. What a bunch of fucking clowns 😂
Unlike glinner I too do not have a criminal record. Also unlike Glinner, my wife hasn't left me because I'm obsessed with a minority group.

🕯 Today we pause to remember the trans people whose lives were taken by violence this year. Those lost to hatred, and those lost to the unbearable weight of living in a world that too often refuses to see their worth.
We hold every name and every story in our hearts.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

Sorry, am I genuinely being asked to believe that the BBC is biased in favour of trans people?
I cannot remember the last time a trans person was given a voice on the BBC. It's as if they don't exist. They are talked about on the BBC, not talked to.
This entire debate is just fucking stupid.

We are at Labour conference, telling members about the impact of the proposed bathroom ban. It would devastate trans people’s lives, create unworkable business challenges, and alienate voters.
This would be Labour’s legacy on LGBT+ rights for a generation. But it’s not too late for them to stop it.

For 6+years non stop, they have demonised every single one of us as predators, paedophiles and child mutilators. There can be no “conversations” with these ghouls.
