You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Yamamori has been a Dublin institution for over 30 years. These cunts couldn't even respect the fact that 'their' hotel has been called the Central Hotel for 100+yrs and have renamed it the very Irish name "Hoxton" and now are complaining about noise on THE BUSIEST nightlife street in the city? 🖕
Here we go again.
We need an “agent of change” principle in this country. They knew there was a club there but skimped on the sound proofing.
This stuff is on purpose. They shouldn’t be rewarded for it. It’s entirely their own fault.

The FAI should boycott the Israeli FA and accept the consequences.
The Cass "report" is the new Wakefield study, and will be witnessed as such.
They're trying to open a Turning Point NI, because colonialism is still alive.
There's just not a void I can fill with all of the screams, some evenings.

This might sound like hyperbole.
It is not.
They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up.
They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable.
It is the UK way.

Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

She was in cahoots with Genspect & Patrick Hunter of SEGM, Florida anti trans advisor to Death Santis for writing the propaganda. Ignorance won't save her when the day of consequences arrives. Ideally all of them up on international charges for what they have and are doing.

No one cared that she had any experience, that was the key to her getting the role. She was always biased along with every cronie who has backed her up. She still isn't experienced and is prepared to cover up the death of trans youth. All in the name of a peerage. Should be Crass and not Cass.
