One of the things about the "GC" movement is that at the start it was all trying to be reasonable and "of course I support real trans people, but what if a predatory man takes advantage?" and along the way it morphed into "all trans people are predators and must be identifiable and kept separate"
The cornerstone of modern transmisogyny is a complete denial of the harm trans women are subject to at the hands of society.
Politicians and gender-conservative activists revel in fictions of us as predatory men while erasing our elevated rates of assault, impoverishment, and hyperscrutiny.

I will repeat my ongoing statement as a survivor of childhood sex*al ab*se.
Never, in the many years I have been involved with online support of other survivors, has ONE single survivor said their ab*ser was a male predator pretending to be a trans female. It's not just a fantasy stirred up

@zackpolanski.bsky.social being called a "con artist" by Labour is such an endorsement it ought to be on all the posters.
And I have to wonder what polls Starmer is seeing to induce such sputtering panic about the growth of the Green?

This is a great example of how genAI steals from us all on multiple levels. It's stolen a promotional spot for real books and authors, it's stolen a job from an actual journalist who could have compiled this, it's stolen an opportunity for parents to be recommended good NZ books for their kids
#4 sounds like a lovely book but I didn't write it. Have had whānau up and down the country send me clippings lol
Whoever put together this list that has been circulated to regional papers, didn't fact check.

It stole from beloved literature written by real humans to generate the list in the first place, it stole water and electricity and money in an age where those are often in short supply, and it's stealing our ability to have trust and confidence in the media at a time we need that more than ever

Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become?

George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016.
He will be remembered for his incredible songwriting talent, his gorgeous vocals and for the greatest non-apology video of all time, following his arrest for cottaging.

This shows how far Labour has swung to the right of politics, and away from their founding principles. 🤬
Stings a bit. 38% would be “disappointed or angry”
But 61% either said they “wouldn’t mind either way” or “would be pleased or happy”
And that’s almost two thirds.
And given the political and media environment they’re all swimming in, that remains remarkable.
