your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

The upcoming Hogwarts Legacy 2 could potentially feature more characters from the Harry Potter books and movies.

Very pleased to say, we've at last managed to get up some practical guidance on what the For (Some) Women Scotland decision means.
Tl;dr it's absolutely *not* what the bigots in Government or the bigots leading the misnamed EHRC are telling you. goodlaw.social/1c68df

If you're worried about alienating allies if you're trans?
Don't be.
Real allies will learn and understand.
And sometimes you have to burn the bridge to ash so it can be rebuilt stronger by those who follow you.
The current bridge is rotten, rickety and unstable.
Time to get the matches?

You are now part of an openly racist government, with a leader using terms straight from Enoch Powell's racist "rivers of blood" speech, and explicitly saying that immigrants have done "incalculable damage" to the UK. Own it, or do something about it.

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

Just finished my placard for the trans rights protest in Colchester tomorrow. Hope it's a good turn out, weather should be lovely. PS. Please don't judge my crafting skills, I'm rusty 🤣

Received four hours ago and just finished reading. Such a beautiful moving tribute to Tina and the Alba addition is truly poignant to me as that's when I first came across you and Happy Doggo Land. Tears amongst the joy 💜

Have to repost it. It's the law.
It's been 8 years since the iconic moment Tom Holland lip-synced "Umbrella" by Rihanna for Zendaya. 🎥

JFC. No means no, mate. We have always had the right to stop whatever we don't want to be doing, even if we initially wanted to. This isn't new. I suppose Mr Rapist over here thinks it should be legal to sexually assault your wife too.
The idea that a woman could revoke consent midway though? Midway though? Completely unheard of
All of that stuff is brand new
It's made men afraid to date, because now there are no rules, if consent was given in the evening and can be legally revoked in the morning

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

I swear, if I (born with a vagina, suffered periods for 35 years, grown a human & pushed it out of said vagina), see another cis man telling the world he's 'sticking up for women' by persecuting trans women, I'm going to kick him in the bollocks so hard the GCs will give him a pass to use the ladies

My view: The “interim update” from the EHRC, and doubtless the actual “guidance” when it is produced, will try and obscure the fact that any exclusion of trans people is not compulsory, it is a choice. If anyone is excluding trans people from anywhere they are choosing to be transphobic, they…
