Trying to skeet more about the things I love. Making music, software engineering, nature, astronomy, science.
Unfortunately I'm📍🇬🇧☠️. So I tend to (re)skeet about billionaires, fascists and anti trans bigots. I know (sigh) but this is 🇬🇧 in 2025/26.

Women in the UK, and indeed the wider western world, had the choice between being nice to trannies and bringing a whole world of hurt onto all womenkind, and I am begging people to realise that the women you hear promoting it are gunna be so insulated from the negative outcomes.

Went for a walk downtown to the vape shop earlier. It was nice and cleared my head. I forgot about all the troubles.
Felt a bit grumpy and the man in the shop cheered me up. We had a good chat where he spilled his life history and he fudged the discount period in my favour. Result!

It's never enough. The guidance yesterday, the judgement today. Give tervert fascists an inch and they'll just keep on and on until you say no more ❤️
The most harmful 'guidance' in the western world that the government are well aware is only going to further increase suicides in a vulnerable demographic, and it's still not draconian enough.

You all saw the guidance that went out yesterday for trans kids in schools. Absolutely horrific stuff.
This is how the right wing papers are covering that news. Times, Mail and Telegraph all have it on their front page, the first two as their main story of the day.

It seems like they are working very hard to manufacture regret and detransition. Creating an absolutely toxic and hostile environment. Trying to socially engineer UK trans people into extinction. This is their solution to "a problem in a sane world"
They trumped up a campaign based around a fear of later treatment regret and "detransition" while it's clear from their research and reports that they are deeply bothered by not enough patients regretting and detransitioning.
It's wholly dishonest and corrupt.

It's about prejudice without feeling like a bad person.
Fabricated justifications and subconscious smoke and mirrors are always involved when persecuting other humans.
If one accepts that it's from the gut, then you also have to face the possibility that you are cruel, evil and despicable.

In the early days I believed more research would help. The theory being pushed was that kids were falsely identifying as trans, so if the wave of increased detransition and regret never materialized people would accept the evidence that the theory was incorrect.

We won't ever forget what the likes of Cass, Wes Streeting and all the rest of you have done. The blood is on your hands. Evil and wicked.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The Cass Review was a sham. Everyone can see it. It's a case of the Emperor's New Clothes.
I put together a list of peer-reviewed critiques of The Cass Review, which itself was not peer-reviewed. The media completely ignores these. I’ve been in academia since 1999 & never seen anything as widely criticized as Cass.
It is a media/propaganda event, not an academic/scientific one.
