Misogyny is core to the American fascist project and feminism must be core to its opposition.

This always bears repeating. Getting a GRC is supposed to be the final confirmation, not the first step. Saying you shouldn't live as your acquired gender until you already have a GRC is a bit like saying you shouldn't live in the UK until you're already a British citizen.
A couple of things come to mind here. Firstly Reindorf clearly has no idea how the transition process actually works. You have to live fully in your new gender before you can qualify for a GRC, and that includes using the correct toilet.

My ‘favorite’ is deniers saying “your medicine is just a crutch” as though that’s not exactly the reason people should have it.
Crutches work! And they’re instant. A person can walk with a crutch, take it a way and they instantly can’t again. That’s almost exactly how adhd medicine is—on or off.

When the Home Secretary is having to argue that the Prime Minister's speech was "completely different to Enoch Powell's", it may be time to pause and reflect on ... lots of things.

Sure, AI may be an environmental disaster and produce mid outcomes in cases where it doesn't straight up lie, but at least it's extremely unprofitable.

This is why I love Bluesky. Like eavesdropping in the pub and wanting to be those lads’ friend.
I feel like Lucy was on a conservative middle class life path. Believes she’s where she is through ‘hard work’. Questions stuff, finds everyone else is the problem.
Sally simply likes what she has and thinks she should continue to have all that and more.
I think I know how both voted in 2024

They set fire to a hotel where refugees were forced to live, attacked mosques and homes, stopped people driving into an area if they weren’t white. “grievances” remember violent racism is always our fault

If Labour actually wanted to wipe the floor with reform, they’d pour money in services- all of them- NHS, transport, schools, social care, pensions- and they’d absolutely clean house.
But a lot of people they think are ‘undeserving’ would get that money, and so… they aren’t.
