This is precisely the point, BBC. Anyone challenging does not know whether they are challenging someone trans or cis "based on appearance". They just suspect. Based on what? Height? Shoe size? Grooming? Make-up? Clothes?

All women's rights put back decades, by a group of toxic, rich transphobes. 👏🏽

It's so cool that you can pay for a subscription service and then pay an additional fee to not watch ads and then still watch ads

One day we will think about the fact that we don't filter indoor air the same way we react to this.
What a weird society we were.

My main thing is that you can’t be coy here; once you’ve used the word “felching” you can’t say you’re too demure to publish RFK’s sexy texts, and you can’t passively refer to “journalistic transgressions” that remain unknown. I’m paying in cash and dignity to know about them.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Please hear me when I say that

1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements

2) they pre-date the age of social media

3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

It really seems like the UK is in a real cultural death spiral where everyone has gone insane hating people different from them
22 Nov 2025 -- Leaked, unpublished guidance from U.K.’s Equality & Human Rights Comsn recommends policies excluding trans people from restrooms & single-sex spaces & encouraging others to question those in them suspected of being trans. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Trans people banned from single-sex spaces based on their appearances in leaked UK guidance - LGBTQ Nation
"This is a license to discriminate based on looks, plain and simple."

I'm one of the few people who ChatGPT has made *less* lazy because one of my most common writing tics has become one of the main AI "tells". So now if I want to think of a quick and easy way to move on I can't write "it's not just X, it's Y" bc I don't want to be called a clanker 😭

The Home Secretary explaining that the rise in racist violence is, actually, the natural response to higher levels of immigration is a state of affairs that can't exist without the government having largely decided that racist violence is, if not legitimate, at least understandable.

genuine appeal to feminists who are haven't realised it yet: trans women are on your side. TERFS aren't
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

At Belfast City Hall for TDor. Was heading towards the toilets and it looked like I was going to the women's so a member of staff shouted 'Sir, sir' after me to direct me to the men's. Little does she know she should have told me to just wet myself.

Many people have noted that the Primary / Social / Forums / Updates tabs are missing when you do this 👀. You can recreate these manually using the "Multiple Inbox" setup in settings. Basically, tell your inbox to include emails tagged "inbox" and exclude the social / forums / updates.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

This exchange between Hancock and Johnson on 7th March 2020 speaks volumes about that government’s pandemic leadership.

Hancock: This is a clarion call for you to lead.

Johnson: Ok, I’m off to the rugby.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

I love doing Origin Story because it feels like I’m back in education, only we set the curriculum and we don’t have to do exams. As I’m the son of two teachers, the fact it seems to help actual students (not something we actively considered when we started) is just lovely
