Council bright spark forgets Sanderstead’s Christmas lights
A crowd of hundreds of locals were left disappointed last night, when they turned out to see Sanderstead’s Christmas lights switched on… and nothing happened. Thanks to the residents…

Yet again, the courts are under a direction to nail trans people to a fucking walk with no consideration of past-trauma response in trans people brought before them, especially those desperate for their politicians to protect them.

The alleged ‘harassment’ was minor by any standard, and even the complainant - a politician, used the words ‘upsetting to me and my staff’

The Gaza “Ceasefire” is a Total Fraud
The fire has not, in fact, ceased, and there have to be meaningful penalties for Israel’s violations.

In 2012, a Conservative government awarded April Ashley, a trans woman, an MBE for "services to trans equality".
How far are we from a Labour government revoking that award, because trans people don't deserve equality?

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
