The Trans Agenda is currently on a break and will be back in the new year, although I can't promise it will be filled with paper clips like it used to be, that stuff melts your brain.

Thanks to everyone who has remained subscribed as my brain solidifies.

STILL no trans people or drag queens implicated in the Epstein Files.

Plenty of TERFs though.

It’s almost as though every “gender-critical” transphobe is trying to protect cis men who abuse women and girls by helping them distract from the real threat.

Wow - just passed £200!!!

For clarity - £250 pretty much pays the running costs for one of Esse House's wildcqmping weekends for 10 attendee. So £200 is a massive boost!

You guys are awesome x

Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.

Notably, $420k was incentive-based.

A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.

I wonder what the per-post rate is?

23 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- UK court rules that a trans man with full Gender Recognition Certificate issued by British government still cannot be registered as father on the birth certificates of the children he and his wife have. The decision does not preclude him adopting them.

You are free to publicly support any number of actual loyalist terrorist organisations in Northern Ireland. The police will even close roads and escort you.

I believe that The Commons, which is close to the Bengal Brasserie, is offering games and dessert. Just trying to confirm times as they have no info on their site.

Twice yearly PrEP injections (lencapavir) is fine for people on gender affirming hormone therapy.

Globally, trans women are among those at greatest risk of acquiring HIV so this is really good news.

Lenacapavir PrEP Does Not Interfere With Hormone Therapy for Trans People
Levels of feminizing and masculinizing hormones remained generally comparable before and after lenacapavir administration.

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

In all sincerity I often sit here and wonder how better people could have given warnings about the rise of global fascism, and I struggle to think what else could have been tried. There were subtle warnings and loud warnings, obnoxious warnings and gentle warnings, the full range. I just don't know.
I keep thinking about this. I was talking to a journalist friend about Project 2025, and he was saying how so much of it is being executed with frightening efficiency. And it is all the more frustrating because everyone with the power to stop it was so thoroughly and repeatedly warned.
I mean I think the people who underestimated the fascists are the stupids in this equation. The fascists had a 60 year plan, they documented the last year of it very publicly, and they are successfully implementing all of it.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.
