Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.
I’ll add more as I find them.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

And how many of them are new prices of work?
It’s not just the reduction in drama, it’s the reduction in new drama at different scales.
Oh how I long for the days I could wander to the Exchange and see a play like Pomona or Yen in the Studio.

The number of plays and musicals staged by the UK's main subsidised theatres last year was down by almost a third compared with 10 years earlier, BBC research suggests.

Oh, that stifling orthodoxy that said you couldn't rape, sexually harass, be a racist, and generally have a good old boy time. While the right has been telling everyone who's not that good old boy that their rights, not just their voices, didn't matter. Same old "she made me do it" whining.
